Commenting on the first quarter results PCH Chairman S H M Rishan
said the first quarter has set the stage for the rest of this financial
year and has laid the foundation for further growth.
"The reason for this amazing growth can be attributed to the rapid
rate with which ICT has developed," he said.
In comparison to the Group's Q1 results in 2010, the net profit
performance in 2011 has increased by Rs 13.67 mn to Rs 57.69 mn, which
is an increase of 31.07 percent. In addition, there has been significant
growth in the profit with operational activities increasing by 16.23
percent to Rs 109.13 mn.
This significant increase in PCH profits is a clear indicator of the
stability of the company, and the improved brand identity they have
created over the recent years through consistent quality and service.
PCH profits were also a significant contributor to the outstanding
profits posted by the Group, with revenue of Rs 969.55 mn, an increase
of 35.7 percent from the 2010 Q1 results. The net profit of Rs 57.24 mn
is indicative of an increase of a whopping 67.68 percent. PCH also
posted a 36.6 percent increase in profits from operational activities
contributing Rs 106.99 mn to the Company's declared final profits.
These remarkable results can be attributed to the expansion of the
PCH distribution network which expanded recently to Kegalle, Matale and
Mullaitivu.
Last year alone the ICT workforce of the nation doubled, and this
kind of growth has been the driving force of PCH, powering growth in the
traditional areas of our business as well as in BPO and solutions. It is
for this reason that we have focused on developing this aspect of our
operation as well which led us to offer ERP solutions through SAGE
ACCPAC and Virtualization which will offer an edge to local and
multinational corporates, an edge that we believe will be absolutely
necessary as the corporate sector becomes more competitive," he said.
