Kuala Lumpur, May 18 \u2013 Anzo Holdings Berhad,a manufacturing and construction specialist, today announced an unaudited profit after tax (PAT) of RM1.27 million for its fourth quarter ended 31 March 2017 (Q4FY2016: Loss of RM3.84 million). This marks the Group\u2019s journey back into the black after sixteen consecutive quarters of losses. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Anzo\u2019s improved performance during the quarter under review came on the back of a higher revenue of RM7.58 million compared to only RM1.40 million registered in the preceding year\u2019s corresponding quarter and RM1.69 million registered in the immediate preceding quarter (3QFY2017).<\/p>\n
For the twelve months ended 31 March 2017, the Group\u2019s Loss After Tax narrowed to RM4.63 million on the back of a revenue of RM12.26 million (FY2016: Loss After Tax of 10.85 million from Revenue of RM6.11 million). \u00a0The Group\u2019s Net Assets Per Share as at 31 March 2017 stood at 13.81 sen, which was slightly lower compared to 14.72 sen a year ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Datuk Eddie Chai Woon Chet, Managing Director of Anzo, said, \u201cIn the fourth quarter of our 2017 financial year, we are starting to see the Group\u2019s Construction Division contributing to our performance in a more tangible manner. This has resulted in a notable turnaround for the Group after multiple quarters of losses.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs importantly, we expect the positive contribution from our Construction Division to grow from strength to strength as our project in hand, namely Porto De Melaka Waterfront, continues to make forward progress. With a total construction order book of RM301 million to date, Anzo Group is expected to sustain its current momentum and meet the Group\u2019s strategic objective to turn profitable for our coming financial year ending 31 March 2018,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe outlook for the construction industry in Malaysia remains positive, more so with the expected recovery of the property sector and the robust public spending on major infrastructure projects. Anzo aims to grow its Construction Division more aggressively by securing more projects while meeting our customers\u2019 expectations with on-time and on-quality delivery. The Group is also exploring opportunities to move into property development.\u201d he concluded. \u00a0<\/p>\n
In March this year, Anzo was appointed as the main contractor for Phase 2 of the Porto De Melaka Hotel and Resort development in Malacca. The contract, which was awarded by Tinta Anggun Engineering Sdn Bhd, is valued at RM109.3 million. The contract for Phase 2 came after the RM153 million contract for Phase 1 that was awarded in October 2015 to build 120 service suite units and 24 spa villas.<\/p>\n
At present, Anzo is in the midst of discussion with MCC Overseas (M) Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Hong Kong and Shanghai-listed China Metallurgical Group Corp\u2019s (MCC Group), to form a consortium to undertake the construction of Paragon @ KL Northgate worth RM1.2 billion, a mixed-development project with a gross development value of RM3.6 billion. The Company expect the consortium agreement to finalise soon.<\/p>\n
