Gardenia maker QAF Limited sees 154% PATMI increase as tax costs decrease

Income tax expense dropped 28% YoY to $1.7m to $.4.4m in H1.

Gardenia maker QAF Limited's profit after tax and minority interests (PATMI) soared by 154% YoY to $12.5m in H1 2024, fueled by lower income tax expenses.

Income tax expense dropped 28% YoY to $1.7m to $.4.4m in H1.

Apart from higher PATMI, the company also reported a 3.0% YoY higher revenue of $309.2m.

QAF Limited attributed its improved revenue to the successful reinstatement of the production lines at its Malaysian bakery factory damaged by floods in December 2021. Its Malaysian Bakery sales increased by $9.1m in H1.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
