The earnings surge was attributable to the higher revenue and profit margins during the quarter.

1QFY2023 revenue rose by 29.3% y-o-y to $87.3 million due to higher progressive recognition achieved for the projects carried out during the quarter.

Gross profit surged by over 200% y-o-y to $11.5 million from $5.7 million previously due to the higher revenue as well as higher margins. During the period, gross profit margin rose by 4.8 percentage points y-o-y to 13.3%.

Other income rose by 36.0% y-o-y to $1.6 million on higher interest income and partly offset by the lower government grants and lower income earned from scrap.

Other expenses of $0.2 million in the 1QFY2023, where there were none in the 1QFY2022, were due to foreign exchange (forex) loss and loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment.
