Mainboard-listed Thakral Corporation reported net profit attributable to shareholders rose 40% y-o-y to $2.4 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010 (3QFY2010). This is also more than double the net profit in the second quarter of $1.1 million, excluding the gain on the disposal of an investment in India.
The improved results, achieved despite slightly lower revenue, were due to the group’s focus on more profitable, higher margin distribution businesses while cutting back on businesses with slimmer margins. This resulted in lower turnover for 3QFY2010, down by 12% to $101.2 million. However, gross margin of 6.5% in 3QFY2010 was considerably higher than that earned in Q3FY2009.
