KUALA LUMPUR: Supermax Corp Bhd posted RM45.85 million in earnings in the second quarter ended June 30, up 77.9% from RM25.78 million a year ago, underpinned by strong revenue growth, cost savings and productivity.
The glove maker said on Thursday, Aug 26 group revenue rose by 24.6% or RM46.34 million to RM234.82 million from RM188.48 million a year ago, on the back of strong global demand for rubber gloves as well as higher selling prices.
“However, despite a challenging operating environment, the group did well to record profitability growth over the corresponding quarter a year ago,” it said.
Supermax said profit before tax and profit after tax rose by 55.8% (RM17.5 million) and 77.9% (RM20.1 million) respectively. The improvement in profitability is attributed to the revenue growth as well as cost savings from higher efficiency and productivity from improved processes and refurbished lines.
