(BToto) said net profit fell 62% in the March quarter to RM18.68mil on revenue of RM1.12bil due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Sports Toto Malaysia Sdn Bhd, the group s principal subsidiary, registered a decrease in revenue and pre-tax profit of 36.1% and 65.1%, respectively.
The lower revenue registered in the current quarter was mainly due to the implementation of the Second Movement Control Order (MCO 2.0) in all states in Malaysia except for Sarawak from Jan 13 to Feb 18. Even though Sports Toto outlets resumed operations on Feb 19, sales recovery was slower than expected due to weaker consumer sentiments and consumers being cautious in patronising sales outlets during the Conditional MCO period.
