Therefore, our efforts will be directed at ensuring we continue to grow revenues and simultaneously improve our margins.”

Business outlook

“At the moment the company is not in a position to provide a guidance for the next year. However, revenue is expected to be flat or slightly lower when compared to the previous quarter due to delays in commencing projects. As the company proposes salary increase in line with market conditions, we expect pressure on margins in the first quarter”, he added.
