For the financial year ended 31 December 2020, the Group achieved an increase in revenue to £246.7 million (31 December 2019: revenue of £169.4 million). This reflects a 45.6% increase and was mainly due to the strong growth of the Group's e-payment business in Malaysia, in particular, the Group's mobile phone prepaid airtime reload and bill payment business through the Group's banking channels (i.e. mobile banking and internet banking) with 10 banks and third parties' e-wallets.
In tandem with the increase in revenue, the Group recorded a profit after tax of £1.61 million in 2020 (2019: profit after tax of £1.87 million, which included a one-off gain of £1.11 million in connection with the Group's disposal of its 55%-owned loss-making subsidiary in Bangladesh), which is the highest profit after tax (excluding any one-off gain) generated by the Group since its admission to AIM in 2007.
