Venture's profits down 6.1% in FY13

Revenue also dipped by 2.4%.

According to OCB CInvestment Research, Venture Corp (VMS) managed to deliver continued sequential improvement in its quarterly revenue and PATMI for FY13. It believes this reflects the recovery momentum of the global economy and consequently VMS’s operations, although FY13 revenue and PATMI still came in 2.4% and 6.1% lower than FY12, respectively.

Here's more:

The main drag came from its Printing and Imaging (P&I) segment, which registered a 32.6% slump in revenue. HP, one of VMS’s key P&I customers, recently highlighted that it is experiencing ASP pressures, although underlying unit demand is improving. VMS is placing more focus on the higher margin commercial high-end printing segment and has also diversified into label printing and 3D printing.

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.
