CSE Global’s Q1 2025 new orders reach $155.3m

The majority of the new orders came from the communications business segment.

CSE Global secured $155.3m in new orders in Q1 2025, down 11.3% year-on-year (YoY) from $175m in Q1 2024.

The communications business segment secured $63.7m in new orders in 1Q2025, accounting for approximately 41.0% of the total order intake for the quarter.

CSE Global attributed this 20.4% YoY growth in orders to a substation radio communication enhancement project secured in the Asia Pacific region and orders from recent acquisitions in the US.

Orders in the automation business segment rose 19.8% YoY to $55.6m, making up 23.2% of total order intake in Q1.

This growth was due to a large contract valued at approximately $13.1m for a chemical injection skid primarily used in the oil and gas industry in the US.

Meanwhile, the electrification business segment, which contributed 23.2% of the total order intake, declined 52.4% YoY to $36.1m in new orders.

The decline was due to lower orders from the municipal market following a shift to focus on the data center and utility markets.

These new orders brought the group’s order book to $616.0m at the end of Q1, down 14.4% YoY.

“We saw a steady stream of flow orders in 1Q2025, which will boost our recurring revenue base. We expect the healthy order intake momentum to continue in the coming quarters as we integrate our acquisitions and enhance our solutions,” Lim Boon Kheng, group managing director and CEO of CSE Global said.

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.
