MFlour- pre-tax profit dropped q-o-q
Results Update
MFlour's net profit increased by 5% q-o-q or 68% y-o-y to RM30.0 million while turnover increased by 39% y-o-y to RM459 million but was unchanged when compared to the immediate preceding quarter (QE31/12/2010). However it in worth noting that MFlour's pre-tax profit declined by 13.7% q-o-q to RM40.0 million due to a drop in profit margin. We need to track the company's results closely to see whether the drop in the pre-tax profit is an one-off event or is it the beginning of a trend.
