This translated to the Company enjoying a net profit of $42.7 billion, reversing the loss position of $42.2 million reported a year earlier.
Mrs. Gobin-Gunter indicated the improved performance was embedded by KEY’s commitment to leaner, more efficiency, cost contained operations for FY2017. Notably, in a bid to grow their core business, she pointed out that the Company undertook a strategic review in FY2017. Here, changes were implemented to improve systems within its operations and staff complement as cost-cutting measures were employed over the course of 2017.
