KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 27): POH KONG HOLDINGS BHD []’s net profit for the fourth quarter ended July 31 was down 22% to RM9.5 million or 2.33 sen a share compared to RM12.18 million in the previous year due to fluctuations in gold prices and higher finance costs.
“The decrease in profit before tax was mainly due to the increase in finance costs and the fluctuation in gold price, resulting a thinner profit margin from gold revenue,” the group said in a filing to Bursa Malaysia today.
Revenue for the quarter rose 11.7% to RM204.7 million from RM183.1 million previously which the group said was spurred by an upsurge in domestic gold prices and contributions from new and existing stores.
Meanwhile, net profit for its full financial year ended July 31 was up 24% to RM51.28 million or 12.5 sen from RM41.2 million in the previous year. Revenue was also increased 19.8% to RM830.1 million.
