OKP profits up 52% on construction growth

With its construction segment seeing 39% rise in revenue, OKP reported net profit of S$14.4 million for 2009.

The mainboard-listed infrastructure and civil engineering company posted S$98.2 million worth of revenue from its construction segment alone, representing 76% of the total. This came from construction projects both in full swing and those secured during the fiscal year.

Group Managing Director, Mr Or Toh Wat, said, "While the global economy continues to be uncertain, early signs of turning around in some economies are already evident. We continue to work diligently to bring the Group to the next level of growth, focusing always on growing long-term shareholder value.

As at 25 February 2010, the Group has a construction gross order book which stands at S$266.6 million, with projects lasting up to financial year ending 31 December 2011.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
