Group revenue in 1Q 2015 increased marginally mainly due
to higher revenue contribution from the Event, exhibition, interior and
thematic segment.
Print and Digital - Print and digital revenue contracted
by 0.3% mainly due to lower print circulation and digital revenue. Overall
advertising expenditure has been affected by poor consumer sentiments . Efficiency improved partly due to its
Voluntary Separation Scheme in the 1stQ 2014.
Event, exhibition, interior and thematic -Revenue for
this segment increased to RM38.09 million from RM30.92 million mainly due to
higher exhibition and thematic segment revenue recognised by Cityneon in the
current quarter under review. Higher direct cost and lower profit margin
especially by Cityneon has resulted in a loss before tax amounting to RM5.29
million in this segment.
Despite it continued decline in print media, some
excitement is expected this year from the Group's recent ann acquisition via
its exhibition arm, Cityneon to buy Victory Hill Exhibitions Pte Ltd . VHE holds the rights to provide exhibition
services to Marvel until May 2017. Hold.
