Sri Trang Gloves (Thailand) posted net profit of THB 4,532.8 million ($185.28 million) for 3QFY2021 ended Sept 30, up 2.9% y-o-y but down 37.7% q-o-q.

Revenue for the quarter came in at THB 10,864.0 million ($444.08 million), growing 32.6% y-o-y but decreasing 16.2% q-o-q.

Net profit margin of 41.7% is down from 56.1% in the previous quarter.

The Board has approved a quarterly dividend of THB 1.25 per share ($0.051) in 3QFY2021.

The y-o-y growth in revenue resulted from the average selling price (ASP) that increased y-o-y, while the q-o-q decrease in revenue resulted from the ASP that went down 32.5% q-o-q to THB 1,531 per 1,000 pieces because of increased supply in the market.

Sales volume was 7,076 million pieces, down 0.9% y-o-y but up 23.8% q-o-q as production fully resumed at the group's Surat Thani and Trang plants following a temporary suspension in 2QFY2021 due to Covid-19.

"But the persisting global container shortage and shipping congestion meant that our export sales volume was still lower than target," says the group.
