In line. Parkson’s 9MFY06/10 core net profit of RM238.8m (+14.9%) was in line with our and consensus expectations, accounting for 79% and 78% of our and consensus full year forecasts respectively. In 9M10, Parkson recorded a RM20m one-off share option expense for PRG. The higher core net profit was attributable to:
1) 4.8% yoy revenue growth arising from SSS growth, inclusion of full year contribution from new stores as well as inclusion of new stores opened in 9M10 (China: Lanzhou, Changsu and Shijiazhuang; Malaysia: Kota Bahru, Kota Kinabalu and Kluang; and Vietnam: Ho Chi Minh); and
2) better EBIT margin i.e. +1.0%-pt yoy arising from lower A&P activities following improved operating environment and consumer sentiment. As expected, no dividend was declared during the quarter.
