The Group profit before taxation has decreased by RM101.2 million or 21.6% over the corresponding period. In the corresponding period, the Group has disposed of 5% interest in YTL Power International Berhad and realised an exceptional gain of RM187.1 million. Without considering the gain on the said disposal, the Group profit before taxation has increased by RM85.9 million from RM282.2 million to RM368.1 million or 30.4% over the corresponding period. This is principally due to improved earnings from the ready-mixed concrete and slag cement business and power generation division.
