Hong Leong Asia’s profit soars 60.9% to $49.5m in H1 2024

EPS stood at 6.62 Singaporean cents in H1 2024.

Hong Leong Asia saw its net profit attributable to shareholders propel by 60.9% on a year-on-year (YoY) basis to $49.5m in the first half of the year (H1 2024), the group’s latest bourse filing showed.

Similarly, H1 2024 saw its net profit surge 44.3% YoY to $92.5m. The group registered a revenue of $2.3b, an 8.5% YoY uptick compared to last year’s $2.0b.

The group attributed its profitability to the strong performance at Yuchai and building materials unit (BMU) on the back of improving market conditions in Singapore, Malaysia, and China.

In Singapore and Malaysia, BMU revenue grew 5.0% YoY to $321.5m as demand for building materials in ready-mix concrete continued, led by public sector projects in Singapore.

The group's earnings per share (EPS) stood at 6.62 Singaporean cents during the first six months.

Hong Leong Asia expects its order books in the Precast and Ready-Mix Concrete segments to grow further from public and private sector projects in Singapore.

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.
