The Group has recorded a higher gross profit (“GP”) of RM49.27 million despite a lower gross profit margin (“GP margin”) of 36.13% as compared to RM21.81 million and 38.79% respectively in the prior year corresponding quarter. The current quarter’s margin performance was impacted by higher raw materials and freight costs, which was partially offset by favourable subcontract expenses. To mitigate the transportation dislocation challenges, the Group has made the conscious decision to incur extra freight cost to ensure the Group could better meet the commitment to the customers, given the supply chain issues faced globally. The higher freight cost was also due to the request by customers to change the shipping method from sea to air freight and the additional cost is expected to be recoverable. Nonetheless, considering the material and freight cost headwinds faced, the Group was able to deliver resilient GP margin. For informational purpose, the normalised GP margin without the net warranty impact is 38.85% and 41.04% for current financial quarter and prior year corresponding quarter respectively.
