While revenue was maintained, margins narrowed to 16.1 per cent in Q1 2019 from 23.3 per cent in Q1 2018, mainly due to stiffer price competition, cost-down pressures from customers as well as changes in its product mix.
Going forward, margins should improve in subsequent quarters - albeit still lower than that of FY2018.
