Overall, APT’s earnings beat market expectations, with its revenue and EPS ahead of estimates, largely due to a lower provision from higher than anticipated collections of instalment payments during COVID-19.

APT is also confident on its expansion into Europe through Pagantis in FY21 (already more than 1 million active customers in first year operations).
