Cost of Sales saw a significant decrease, amounting to $598,153 (2024: $671,451), representing an 11% year-over-year decrease. This led to a 1% decrease in gross profit, which stood at $1.84 million compared to $1.86 million for the first quarter ended August 31, 2024.

“MTL’s first-quarter performance was driven by a proactive approach to strategic cost reductions and efficiency gains, which more than offset the modest decline in revenues. This operational discipline resulted in stronger profitability, improved cash flow, and a higher equity base, positioning the company for sustainable earnings growth despite top-line headwinds. However, investors should keep a keen eye on the company’s balance sheet performance, ensuring that the company’s dealings with related companies are value accretive.”
