RE&S Holdings' profit plunges by 21.3% to $1.1m

More intense competition in the F&B sector hurt the income.

RE&S Holdings Limited’s net profit for the second quarter ended last 31 December (2Q 2018) went down by 21.3% to $1.1m.

“The challenges in the food and beverage industry are expected to persist, given intensifying competition and higher cost pressures posed by a tighter labour and rental market. Nonetheless, the Group remains committed in expanding its businesses both organically and through strategic acquisitions, joint ventures or alliances while seeking to streamline operations and cut costs,” said RE&S in its filling to the Singapore Exchange.

Excluding the one-off IPO expenses of approximately $1.0m, the company recorded a $2.1m net profit after tax in 2Q 2018, which is 51.5% higher year-on-year.

Meanwhile, the group’s revenue increased by 2.9% to almost $37m in 2Q 2018. RE&S did not declare any dividend for 2Q 2018.

This is the company’s first financial results release since its listing on the Catalist board in November 2017.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
