PROPERTY and retail group Metro Holdings' fourth-quarter bottom line swelled to S$34.2 million, from just S$1.2 million a year ago, despite a small rise in revenue and poorer gross margins.
Associates were a key contributor for the three months ended March 31, 2017, with Metro's net share of their results S$12.2 million higher at S$20.1 million. Metro said this was due mainly to the group's $30.2 million share of a tax-provision write-back by Top Spring.
