SMT Tech reports loss, new Managing Director
SMT Technology says restructuring has decreased revenue for the year ended 31-03-2012. The company also announced the appointment of a new Executive Director.
The Group’s revenue for the three months ended 31 March 2012 was HK$182.7 million (S$30.0 million) as compared to HK$432.5 million (S$70.9 million) in the corresponding period of the previous financial year.
Loss attributable to shareholders was HK$158.1 million (S$25.9 million) as compared to HK$711.9 million (S$116.7 million) previously. The loss of HK$158.1 million (S$25.9 million) includes an impairment loss on property, plant and equipment of HK$111.2 million (S$18.2 million) and restructuring expenses of HK$16.4 million (S$2.7 million).
“The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the downsizing of operations as announced previously and the drop in demand for LED backlight for LCD-TV, computer peripherals, industrial and automotive products," the company said.
For the financial year ended 31 March 2012, the Group’s revenue was HK$1,129.0 million (S$185.1 million) as compared to HK$2,140.3 million (S$350.9 million) in the previous financial year.
