Frencken's gross profits increase 14.9% to $33.5m in Q3

Its profit margin increased to 17.1% due to increased material, freight costs.

Frencken Group and its subsidiaries provided a voluntary update on the group's business and financial performance for the third quarter of 2021, and the nine months ended on 30 September.

For the third quarter of (Q3) 2021, the group's gross profit increased 14.9% YoY to $33.5m.

Gross profit margin eased slightly to 17.1% in Q3, mainly due to increases in material and freight costs.

For the first nine months (9M) of 2021, the group's gross profit margin expanded to 17.3% from 16.3% in 9M 2020 due to higher revenue and shift in sales mix.

The group's revenue increased 18.7% year-on-year to $196.5m in Q3, lifted by higher sales of the semiconductor, analytical, and medical segments. It was also partially offset by softer sales of the industrial automation and automotive segments.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
