KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 () — Aeon Credit Service (M) Bhd posted a lower net profit of RM233.96 million for the financial year ended February 28, 2021 (FY2021) from RM292.05 million a year ago.

Revenue also declined to RM1.56 billion from RM1.60 billion in the preceding year.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, it said the lower revenue was mainly attributed to lower fee income by RM36.51 million, in line with weaker transaction and financing volume.

For the fourth quarter, the company registered a net profit of RM113.72 million against RM88.39 million, while revenue stood at RM406.35 million from RM 413.28 million year-on-year.
