Haw Par H1 2024 profit up 17.1%, but cost pressures weigh on margins

Its gross margin dipped to 54.6%

Tiger balm maker Haw Par reported a 17.1% YoY higher net profit of $122m in H1 2024, aligned with the increase in its revenue.

In H1, the company’s revenue rose 6.3% YoY to $118.1m, driven by robust demand for its healthcare products.

The company, however, said the 11/4% YoY increase in the cost of sales amid higher overheads and labour costs affected revenue growth, also affecting its gross margin, which dipped to 54.6%.

With improved profit, the company reported higher basic earnings per share attributable to its equity holders of $0.551.

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.
