Results Update

For QE30/4/2017, BJFood's pre-tax profit dropped 86% q-o-q or 87% y-o-y to RM1.0 million while revenue was mixed - down 7% q-o-q but up 9% y-o-y - to RM151 million. Revenue and pre-tax profit in the fourth quarter dropped q-o-q due to the absence of calendar year end festive sales, school holidays and Christmas season. Bottom-line was further exacerbated by the impairment of fixed assets of RM4.433 million and intangible assets of RM0.539 million incurred during the fourth quarter as measures are taken to curtail future losses. As a result, BJFood reported its first quarterly net loss of RM3.366 million!
