What drove the change

  • SCSK brought Net One Systems into the group, lifting gross profit, though it also added to SG&A.
  • Recognizing deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards lowered the tax bill and boosted net income.
  • Car distribution earned less as competition grew in key markets, and equity-method income fell because last year's one-off gain in aircraft leasing did not repeat.

Things to watch

  • Fighting between the US, Israel, and Iran has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which could keep fuel and raw material supplies tight and prices high.

  • With heavy borrowing and many overseas operations, changes in interest rates and exchange rates can move its results.
