Duty Free International
Duty Free International posted a third-quarter net profit of RM21.2 million (S$6.8 million), up 26.6 per cent from a year earlier as a net gain in foreign exchange offset a fall in revenue.
Turnover in the three months to Nov 30 was RM133 million, down 13 per cent from the same period in 2015 due to a slowdown in tourism traffic to and from Thailand following the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej in October last year.
Net asset value per share was 47.34 Malaysian sen as at Nov 30, up from 36.5 Malaysian sen as at Feb 29 last year.
A second interim dividend of 1.25 Singapore cents per share was declared, payable on March 6. No dividend was paid in the third quarter of 2015.

PSA International handled 67.63 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of containers at its port projects around the world for the year ended Dec 31 - up 5.5 per cent on 2015.
PSA Singapore Terminals contributed 30.59 million TEUs last year, down 0.1 per cent from a year earlier. Terminals outside Singapore handed 37.04 million TEUs, up 10.6 per cent.
