前景：
在2018年预算中宣布的包括大量大型基础设施项目在内的460亿令吉预算中，董事预计Econpile 2018年的业绩表现具有挑战性，但可持续增长，预计来自打桩和土地基础服务将持续增长，特别是在基础设施领域，作为他们的主要原材料之一的混凝土价格在过去6个月内一直相当稳定，他们预计截至2018年6月30日止财政年度的其余时间材料价格不会上涨。预计世界钢价会保持稳定。

The Board of Directors of Econpile Holdings Berhad (“Econpile”) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Econpile (M) Sdn. Bhd. (“EMSB”) has on 6 March 2018, received a Letter of Award dated 5 February 2018 from Putra Perdana Construction Sdn. Bhd. to undertake site preparation, earthworks, piling, basement, carpark lower ground and retaining wall for the redevelopment of an existing 7-storey hospital building and an additional 12-storey building located at PT 12172, Jalan Teknologi, PJU 5, Kota Damansara, Mukim Damansara, Daerah Petaling, Selangor Darul Ehsan (http://www.bursamalaysia.com/…/company-announcements/5721317). The contract sum is RM25.9 million. The overall duration of the Contract is approximately 15 months. The Contract is the main stream business of EMSB and is expected to contribute positively to the revenue and earnings of Econpile for the financial year ending 30 June 2018.

The increase in the profit before tax for the current quarter ended 31 December 2017 of RM1.5 million or 7.3% as compared to the preceding quarter ended 30 September 2017 was due mainly to rental income derived from rental of equipments to sub-contractors.

Prospects:
On the back of the RM46 billion development budget announced in the 2018 Budget, which includes a slew of mega infrastructure projects, the Directors expect the Group's 2018 performance to be challenging but sustainable with continued growth expected from the piling and foundation services in particularly, the infrastructure segment. Price of concrete, being one of their main raw material, has been fairly stable for the past 6 months and they do not anticipate material increase for the rest of the financial year ending 30 June 2018. It is expected for the regional and world steel prices to remain stable.
