Nine-month revenue rose 19.14% to RM79.12 million from RM66.41 million on increased demand with a corresponding improvement in margin attributed to higher productivity and efficiency.
On prospects, Resintech said it is taking a cautious approach given the weakening local currency as well as continuous rising costs. Hence, it will continue implementing measures to reduce expenditure and also improve the performance of all its segments by improving demand for its products.
Resintech's share price closed down 0.5 sen or 0.9% at 53 sen on Thursday, bringing the group a market capitalisation of RM104 million.
