UG Healthcare’s profits soar 34% to $24m in H1

Thanks to prudent expansion plans.

Prudent expansion plans paid off for UG Healthcare as it posted a 34% YoY net profit growth to $24m in the first half of FY16.

The glove manufacturer and distributor also reported that its planned increase in production capacity led to increased volume of gloves produced and sold in the half-year. Revenue surged 20.1% YoY to $30.1m, but was partially offset by lower average selling price of gloves.

Meanwhile, gross profit jumped 42.6% YoY to $7.2m. Also, the waning ringgit against US dollar over the financial period resulted to a surge in other income to $1m in 1HFY16 from $0.2m in the corresponding period in FY15.

The weaker ringgit against US dollar over the financial period has also led to a surge in other income from S$0.2 million in HY2015 to S$1.0 million in HY2016.

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.
