ZIMBABWE Stock Exchange-listed firm Border Timbers says revenue for the 11 months to May 2019 rose 66 percent to $32 million from $19 million in the same period last year.
Border attributed the growth to improved quality hence better average selling prices for its lumber.
Net loss amounted to $9,8 million from a profit before tax of $2,6 million and this was a result of unrealised exchange losses on foreign debts amounting to $10,783 million.
According to Border, the loss before tax for the 11 months under review excludes the effects of the final biological asset valuation which will be conducted at year end.
