This quarter, the increase in revenue (from RM456.2m to RM603.1m, YoY+32.2%) is in line with the Group's continuous expansion in production capacity and increase in demand from customer. The profit before tax increased by RM60.5m (+77.3%) to RM138.9m compared with last year of RM78.3m. It is because of higher sales demand and improvement in production capacity, as well as lower costs incurred from improvement in operational efficiencies. Increased operating income arising from net foreign exchange gain has also contributed to the profit. For 9 months period, the increase in sales volume by 33.5% and higher average selling price contributed to the increase in revenue.

Prospects:
Switching trends towards nitrile glove has increased the product demand. Nitrile glove now accounts for 61% of Malaysian rubber glove export. Chinese vinyl glove producers still face difficulties conforming to strict environmental laws. Hartalega Next Generation Integrated Glove Manufacturing Complex (NGC) progressively commission Plant 4 and started the construction of Plant 5. They have commissioned 10 production lines out of a total of 12 production lines in Plant 4. The increasing contribution of NGC would help to consolidate margins.

Hartalega aims to launch anti-microbial gloves in Europe by 2Q of 2018 and is working on securing FDA approval to enter the US market. They will price competitively to encourage better take up. They are confident that the consistently meeting and exceeding their targets will consolidate their position as the market leader in nitrile gloves.
