KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 26, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MOL Global, Inc. (OTC Pink:MOLGY) ("MOL" or the "Company"), a leading e-payment enabler for online goods and services in emerging and developed markets, announces that going forward it will release financial results semi-annually, rather than quarterly as it has in the past. Under the new practice, the Company expects to report its semi-annual unaudited financial results for the first half of 2016 in August 2016, and to report semi–annual financial results approximately every six months thereafter. The Company remains committed to continued compliance with all applicable United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filing requirements, including the filing with the SEC a Form 6-K that includes an interim balance sheet as of the end of the Company’s second fiscal quarter and a semi-annual income statement for the first two quarters and the filing of the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F with the SEC. The Company also announced that it has achieved consolidated revenue of MYR64.3million (US$16.5 million) for the first quarter of 2016.
Mr Ramesh Pathmanathan, Chief Financial Officer of MOL Global, Inc. said: “After thorough discussions with our Board of Directors, auditing and legal teams, we have concluded that reporting earnings on a semi-annual basis would better reflect the Company’s true business performance. In moving to semi-annual financial reporting, we expect to provide more meaningful updates on the Company’s business prospects to our shareholders and the finance community.”
Mr Preecha Praipattarakul, Global Chief Executive Officer of MOL Global, Inc said: “Full transparency and open communication continues to remain paramount to the Company. After a careful review, it was determined that the previous reporting process had become more of a distraction, and it was not adding as much value to the investment community as desired. The management team continue to remain focussed on the business, and welcome investor interest to the Company.”
