UMS net profits shoot up 59% to $57.6m

Net profit attributable to shareholders is at an all-time high of $53.1m.

UMS Holdings' net profit shot up 59% to $57.6m, with the group saying it delivered a 'record-breaking' performance for the year ended 31 December 2021 (FY 2021).

Net profit attributable to shareholders soared 46% to touch an all-time high of $53.1m. This performance was driven by the sustained acceleration of global chip demand as well as the increasing capital expenditure of semiconductor fabs worldwide.

“The Group achieved exponential growth in FY 2021 riding on pandemic-driven opportunities that are transforming the global digital landscape. This demonstrates UMS's operational resilience and its ability to meet the surge in customer demands overcoming tough operational issues such as supply chain disruptions, and severe manpower crunch. Even with unprecedented tax provisions, we were able to hit record cash levels and deliver improved returns to shareholders," said Chairman and CEO Andy Luong.

The group's order forecasts remain strong as its key customer has recently given positive guidance for FY 2022. The strong momentum for its semiconductor systems continue to increase and it expects this strength to sustain into 2022.

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.
