Ley Choon Group's net profit doubles to $9.7m in FY2023

Its revenue grew to $123.9m due to increasing construction activities.

SGX-listed Ley Choon Group Holdings Limited (Ley Choon) recorded a 104.3% year-over-year (YoY) rise in its net profit to $9.7m in FY2023, which ended on 31 March.

Net profit for FY2022 was $4.8m.

The group's revenue increased 33.4% YoY to $123.9m from $92.9m due to the company ramping up its construction activities.

Its gross profit margin expanded by 1.5 points YoY to 13.2% from 11.7% due to a "favourable project mix and revenue growth during the period."

The company also reduced its total borrowings to $19.9m as of 31 March from $27.9m, improving its debt-to-equity ratio to 0.4 times from 0.7 times.

Looking forward, Ley Choon CEO and executive Chairman Toh Choo Huat expects a sizeable number of older infrastructures needing replacement in the near future.

"In the coming year or so, we will capitalize on this uptrend and bid for more projects to replenish or even grow our order book further," Toh said in the group's SGX filing.

“However, we will be prudent and selective with the projects we choose to participate in, taking into consideration working capital needs, manpower allocation, as well as managing the relatively higher raw material costs. Ultimately, we want to steer the group towards a sustainable growth path that will benefit shareholders in the long term," Toh added.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
