GOLDEN Agri-Resources (GAR) has reported a slump in first-quarter earnings despite higher revenue in the first three months of the year in the absence of a big foreign exchange gain it registered in the year-ago quarter.
Net profit was down 60.1 per cent year-on-year at US$37.6 million. In Q1 2017, there was a US$1.2 million exchange loss recorded, in contrast to the US$51.9 million foreign exchange gain in the year-ago period.
