[ECONPILE HOLDINGS BHD：利润率下降是由于百分比较高来自基础设施项目的收费（较低的利润率）]

截至2018年9月30日止的当前财政期间，毛利率和税前利润率分别为12.8％（Q1FY18 - 20.5％）和10.2％（Q1FY18 - 17.2％）。利润率下降是由于百分比较高来自基础设施项目的收费（较低的利润率）。

在财政期间的其他收入中包括设备的租金收入和卖掉机器收益，金额为RM50万，相比之前一年的相应季度为290万令吉。截至2018年9月30日，订单总额约为11亿令吉。

截至2018年9月30日止的本季度，房地产开发项目和基础设施项目的打桩和基础工程分别为1.521亿令吉和4,820万令吉，而2018年6月30日结束的季度分别为1.416亿令吉和5,070万令吉。

与截至2018年6月30日止的上一季度相比，截至2018年9月30日止的当前季度的税前利润减少640万令吉或23.7％，主要是由于正在进行的几个劳动密集型工作活动的项目的利润率较低。

前景：
在包括钢材和混凝土在内的相对稳定的建筑材料价格的支持下，Econpile预计建筑行业的前景将在2019财年保持正面。

The decrease in the profit before tax for the current quarter ended 30 September 2018 of RM6.4 million or 23.7% as compared to the preceding quarter ended 30 June 2018 was due mainly to lower margins from higher labour-intensive work activities for few of the on-going projects.
