The Group reported a profit before tax of RM19.97 million on the revenue of RM434.80 million for the current quarter compared to a profit before tax of RM17.68 million on the revenue of RM348.72 million for the previous year corresponding quarter. The increase in revenue and profit in current quarter were mainly attributed to higher selling price and higher volume due to strengthening of local steel price and stronger domestic demand. The forex gain in the current quarter has also contributed to the higher profit before tax.
The actual gain for this quarter is just around 9 mils. One off gain is > 8 mils. Base on profit just around 9 mils, the profit is actually lower than other quarters. Please read carefully the quarter result.
Anyone can verify what remisier said as i am unable to view the full report on my phone. For one off gain like q317 the PAT is higher than PBT. But for this scenario it is not. Seems normal to me
I think the forex gain is likely due to entering a transaction to purchase for raw materials in USD at a earlier time. But when they decide to pay to finish the transaction, ringgit has strengthened against the USD. Hence the foreign exchange gain.
This gain will lead to a lower cost of sales. Which is why i believe it is all part of operational profits. Correct me if i am wrong? @probability @tecpower
It's meaningless just to see how good a quarter report is.If the stock price has been already high, it will not go up no matter how good the QR is. In contrast, if the stock price has been already low, it will go up no matter how bad the QR is.

Agree with tecpower. The relationship between share price and quarterly result is not how bad or how good the result is, but rather how it is against market expectation. If market expects 200% and result is 100% it will plunge. If market expects -200% but 10% up, share price will go up.
Wow... just read the quarter report... such a low earning margin , n some of the profit r from forex gain from the last qr only, monday good luck to you all ~~~

Their profibitability is determined mainly by the volume they sell, their selling price and foreign exchange rates.
They wrote the current quarter were mainly attributed to higher selling prices and higher volume. That means their business has been expanding.
You just saw a small fraction, You did not see the big picture.

tai lou, look properly lar... u dont know accounting .. the qr result means to traumatise ppl like u ... 19.97 m got reversal of impairment and forex gain...
@skyjet hi, i have just watched the video. But he is just repeating what remiscier said without explaining deeper about forex gain. Besides, is he a professional stock analyst? Please refer to my comment below, kindly let me know if my understanding of forex gain is incorrect
Accounting noob here. However, i did a little reading which led me to believe that this foreign exchange gain is part of core business.
I think the forex gain is likely due to entering a transaction to purchase for raw materials in USD at a earlier time. But when they decide to pay to finish the transaction, ringgit has strengthened against the USD. Hence the foreign exchange gain.
This gain will lead to a lower cost of sales. Which is why i believe it is all part of operational profits. Correct me if i am wron
The company informed us that profit in current quarter were mainly attributed to higher selling price and higher volume. It expalins 70% of their expanding business. You can check details of their QR, but don't fail to see the whole picture.
I agree that reversal of impairment loss of 1M+ is not part of operating profit.
But if this forex gain of 7M + is for purchasing of raw materials in USD ( which is a recurring transaction) . Than i think it should be part of operating profit . @skyjet @stock_investor
