Yongnam pre-tax profits up 33% to S$48.8 million

The Group's main contributor, Structural Steelworks, saw marginal increase in revenue from S$254.2 million in FY2008 to S$256.8 in FY2009.

Yongnam's multiple contracts at the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort and Vista Xchange made up for lower contributions from the Group's overseas projects.

The 33.0% rise in pre-tax profit from S$36.7 million in FY2008 was achieved despite a 6.3% increase in general and administrative expenses to S$27.8 million. Contributory to the surge in expenses were increased staff costs, professional fees and repairs to premises.

Mr Seow Soon Yong, Chief Executive Officer of Yongnamm said, "The Group continues to benefit from the increased spending on mega infrastructural projects in the region. The Group's strong competitive advantage and proximity to our markets allow us to enjoy good market share, contributing to record performances for the past four years."

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.
