Analabs posts weaker Q3 results

PETALING JAYA: Analabs Resources Bhd's net profit for the third quarter ended Jan 31, 2017 fell 46.5% to RM2.09 million from RM3.91 million a year ago mainly due to loss generated from the contract work, pipe-laying and rehabilitation segment.
Revenue increased 6.6% to RM37.37 million from RM35.05 million in the corresponding quarter of the preceding year.
For the nine months period, its net profit dropped 15.3% to RM9.01 million from RM10.63 million a year ago, while revenue increased 2.1% to RM117.06 million from RM114.67 million in the previous year.
