Net profit +21% yoy to $52.2m, but down 99% to $146k qoq due to provisions for doubtful receivables of $11.4m in 4Q. Boustead also took a provision of about $13.8m for its Libyan projects. It had previously guided that its financial exposure for the Libyan projects ranged between $15.5 - 39.6m. The lower provision is a silver lining, and without it, results would have been largely in line...
