Its net profit in the first three quarters increased 28.7 percent from a year earlier to 966.4 million yuan, the firm said in a statement to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

The eastern Shandong province-based company attributed the net profit hike to reduced inventory and improved assets quality.

Equities of the Shanghai-listed firm added 1.28 percent to 18.17 yuan per share Thursday.
