CosmoSteel Holdings books $0.9m net loss in FY15

Blame it on raised depreciation charges.

CosmoSteel Holdings reported a net loss of $0.9m in FY15, reflecting a 116% YoY crash from 2014’s $5.5m profit. Despite the implementation of cost-cutting measures during the year, higher depreciation charges battered the company.

The company’s Singapore market delivered the lowest revenue as it staggered back 40.4% to $56.7m. This was partially offset, however, by Brunei and Japan doubling contributions from FY14’s $13.4m to $29m, which is largely attributable to CosmoSteel’s more enthusiastic marketing thrusts.

Looking forward, the company is expecting its profit margins to continue to battle through the intensifying competitive conditions locally and globally.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
