KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 18 — Berjaya Sports Toto Bhd’s pre-tax profit for the second quarter ended Oct 31, 2014 rose 12.1 per cent to RM143.24 million from RM127.83 million in the same quarter last year.
In a filing to Bursa Malaysia, the company said revenue also increased 44.7 per cent to RM1.25 billion from RM866.88 million previously.
It said the increase in revenue was mainly attributed to the consolidation of HR Owen Plc in the current quarter.
Berjaya Sports Toto said it would perform satisfactorily for the remaining quarters of the current financial year, as rising costs weigh down on domestic consumer spending, and the uncertain effects of the Goods and Services Tax from April 1 next year. — Bernama
