Frencken Group’s profit down 17.3% in H1 22

It posted $26m earnings in the first half of 2022.

Frencken Group Limited recorded $26m earnings, down 17.3% year-on-year (YoY) in the first half (H1) of 2022 compared to $31m reported a year ago.

In a statement, the group’s revenue grew 3.6% from $375b in H1 2021 to $388b in H1 2022. Under the revenue, its mechatronics division went up 6.2% to $340.3m in H1 2022 from $320.4m in H1 2021.

Sales of the semiconductor segment went up 8.5% YoY to $152.8m in H1 2022. Its increase was driven by higher orders for front-end semiconductor equipment from customers in Europe and Asia.

Its medical segment went down 6.8% YoY to $60.8m in H1 2022 because of decelerated sales to customers in Europe.

The group’s finance costs went up 39.8% to $1.5m in H1 2022 from $1m in the same period last year following higher trade financing and interest on lease liabilities.

The gross profit declined 7% YoY to $60.8m in H1 2022 whilst gross profit margin eased to 15.6% in H1 2022 from 17.4% in the same period last year “due to variation in sales mix and inflationary cost pressures.”

Financial Statements

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.
