3Q18 Review: Buoyant Profitability
For 3Q18, DOID posted the revenue of USD254 million (+24.9% q-q, +27.9% y-y) and the net profit of USD31 million (+305.3% q-q, +37.8% y-y)—topping our estimate and consensus. Its EBITDA margin , OPM, and NPM was at 41.3% (vs. 33.7% in 2Q18), 16.2% (vs. 15.6% in 2Q18), and 12.5% (vs. 3.9% in 2Q18), respectively. The reduction in production costs and the increment in mining workers’ productivities are keys to the rosier profitability.
