GSS Energy's Q2 FY2019 profit of S$0.087 million stemmed from price competition and cost-down pressures, which shrunk margins, as well as higher depreciation costs from new machines.
Revenue continued to be lower - by 5.7 per cent year-on-year (yoy) - due to weaker demand, while margins narrowed to 15.4 per cent in Q2. This was mainly due to stiffer price competition, cost-down pressures from customers, and changes in its product mix.
