The decrease in PBT is mainly due to the below reasons: a. An increase in operating cost where additional staffs (ie doctors, nurse, optometrist and supporting staff) hired in advance for the upcoming expansion of new ambulatory care centres and satellite clinics/centres at the new location. Hence, staffs will be well trained in the existing centres before transferring them to the upcoming new ambulatory care centres and satellite clinics/centres. b. The Group hired an operations team and plastic surgery surgeons in preparation to apply for a plastic surgery license, which was successfully obtained in August 2023. c. Pre-operation costs (i.e., consultancy and professional costs) were incurred at the Cambodia ambulatory care centre. All the above costs are expected to be normalised once the new ambulatory care centres/satellite clinics commence in FY2024.
