Hock Lian Seng’s earnings soar 128.8% in H1 2024

Gross profit surged 213.9% to $21.3m.

Hock Lian Seng’s earnings for H1 2024 surged 128.8% to $20.4m from $8.9m a year ago.

Gross profit soared 213.9% to $21.3m from $6.7m in H1 2023, driven by positive contributions from the civil engineering and property development segments.

The increase in the civil engineering segment was due to the finalisation of accounts with subcontractors as the CAG JV project neared completion, whilst the rise in the property development segment was boosted by higher revenue and favorable prices at Shine@Tuas South units.

Meanwhile, revenue for the period fell 6.0% to $99.8m from $106.1m due to lower contributions from the civil engineering segment, offset by the higher turnover from the property development segment.

As of 30 June, the company’s order book for the civil engineering segment totals $624m which includes the Aviation Park station project and Serangoon North Station project.

Earnings per share stood at $0.0398.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
