Its pretax profit for the quarter stood at RM35.42 million, a 52.4% decline from RM74.34 million reported previously.
The group’s principal subsidiary Sports Toto registered a decrease in revenue and pre-tax profit of 36.1% and 65.1%, respectively for the quarter due to the implementation of MCO 2.0 across Malaysia except Sarawak from Jan 13 to Feb 19. It also saw a slower sales recovery after resuming operations due to wear consumer sentiments and a higher prize payout.
