Glass-fiber revenue and cost explain a product margin rather than group operating profit
Glass fiber and its products generated CNY 4,581,363,318.30 of main-business revenue and CNY 3,001,096,017.05 of cost in FY2011. Revenue rose 3.69% while cost fell 3.39%. The product table reports a 34.49% margin, up 4.80 percentage points. Although the original column calls it an operating-profit margin, the amount corresponds to revenue less the listed product cost divided by revenue. It is a product revenue-cost margin, not the consolidated operating-profit margin after selling, management and financing expenses. The product row is also narrower than manufacturing-industry revenue and does not measure every yarn grade or plant. Management describes product optimization, technical improvements and cost control as supporting performance, but claims of industry-lowest costs remain attributed claims. The source supplies no separately comparable annual tonnage or unit-price series for this paragraph. Readers should distinguish the improved product margin from the different scale and growth of group operating profit.
