Santak Holdings has also issued a profit warning for the 1HFY2023 ended Dec 31 2022, due to substantially lower contributions
from the group’s precision engineering division arising mainly from significantly weaker demand from the data storage sector.
Gross profit for the period is also expected to be substantially lower, mainly arising from lower economies of scale recorded as a result of
the decrease in turnover. In addition, other operating expense also increased in 1HFY2023 compared to 1HFY2022 mainly due to a foreign exchange loss registered in 1HFY2023 compared to a foreign exchange gain for 1HFY2022.
Santak will report its earnings for 1HFY2023 before or around mid-February.
Shares in Santak closed flat at 5.5 cents on Feb 3.
