Sports Toto Berhad (“SPToto” or “the Group”) recorded a revenue of RM1.55 billion for the current quarter, showing a slight decrease of 4.9% from RM1.63 billion reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, mainly attributed to softer sales of H.R.

Sports Toto Berhad (“SPToto” or “the Group”) recorded a revenue of RM1.55 billion for the current quarter, showing a slight decrease of 4.9% from RM1.63 billion reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, mainly attributed to softer sales of H.R. Owen Plc (“H.R. Owen”) and STM Lottery Sdn Bhd (“STM Lottery”).
Notwithstanding lower sales in the current quarter under review, the Group’s profit before tax
increased by 33.7% to RM96.6 million from RM72.3 million in the corresponding quarter last
year, primarily driven by the performance of STM Lottery and reduced investment-related
expenses recorded in the current quarter under review.
STM Lottery’s revenue dropped by 4.5% in the current quarter as compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year, mainly due to lower average sales per draw resulting from lower accumulated jackpot prizes and one (1) less draw conducted during the current quarter, which was 40 draws versus 41 draws in the previous year corresponding quarter. Nevertheless, pre-tax profit increased by 6.9% compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year, as a result of lower operating expenses incurred during the current quarter.
H.R. Owen’s revenue declined by 6.6% particularly for the new car segment due to transition gaps between new vehicle model launches and challenging economic environment. The softer sales reflected the model mix sold in the relevant quarters. With unfavourable foreign exchange effect, the revenue decreased by 13.6% when translated into Ringgit Malaysia, the Group’s reporting currency. H.R. Owen incurred a pre-tax loss of RM1.6 million for the current quarter under review, compared with a pre-tax profit of RM11.7 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, mainly attributable to the lower revenue and margin compression during the current quarter under review.

STM Lottery recorded a drop in revenue of 5.3% with one (1) less draw in the current financial
year, which was 163 draws versus 164 draws in the previous financial year. In addition, the previous financial year also benefitted from stronger sales driven by higher accumulated jackpot prizes, particularly from the Supreme Toto 6/58 game. STM Lottery’s pre-tax profit decreased by 11.1% when compared to the previous year, which was in line with the lower revenue recorded during the current financial year under review.
H.R. Owen posted a 7.1% decrease in revenue during the current financial year, primarily due to lower sales volumes in both new and used car segments. Demand in the new car segment remained subdued due to extended product life cycles leading to oversupply by certain manufacturers and the limited availability of transition models, which has unusually stifled the product mix. Furthermore, the challenging economic environment also caused customers to be more cautious in their luxury spending. When translated into Ringgit Malaysia, the Group’s reporting currency, revenue decreased by 10.7% due to the adverse foreign exchange effect. H.R. Owen reported a pre-tax loss of RM26.3 million for the current financial year under review, compared with a pre-tax profit of RM11.5 million in the previous financial year. The lower results was mainly due to lower sales and margin pressure.
