This was mainly due to the increase in infrastructure development activities of the Government as well as those of the Private sector… Annual Report 2014/15- MDs Review
Compared to June and September there is a marginal drop in sales, but the GP margin improved by further 2% increasing the bottomine

As highlighted above, most of the raw material related to cable production was high during 2011. It is clearly reflected in ACL cables performance as well, by reporting a low GP margin % for 2011 and high at 2015. And the forecast prices for these metals are expected to be remain low

Again the trend I note in the revenue and profit pattern are, they report a low revenue and profit for June Qtrs and keeps improving for the balance 3 Qtrs. Accordingly June 2015/16 Quarter has been a good start for them With a Revenue of 3.35Bn , GP margin 22% and EPS 4.41. Though the September Quarter sales hasn’t improved much due to unfavorable conditions from politics, economy and Industry the improving GP margin due to falling RM prices has pushed the bottomline
