Riverstone's third-quarter profit up 14.7% QoQ on AI-led cleanroom demand

REvenue inched up by 1.1% to $76.7m (RM247.5m).

Riverstone Holdings’ third-quarter net profit rose 14.7% quarter on quarter to $16.1m (RM52m), lifted by higher cleanroom glove demand from AI and data centre clients.

Revenue increased 1.1% QoQ to $76.7m (RM247.5m), driven by stronger shipments of cleanroom and customised healthcare gloves. Demand from technology-linked sectors offset slower sales in general healthcare products.

Gross profit rose 16.5% to $23.8m (RM76.6m), lifting margins to 30.9% from 26.8% a year earlier, supported by lower raw material costs and better product mix. Operating expenses were stable, with net cash increasing to $252.6m (RM814.8m).

Newly commissioned cleanroom lines are expected to raise output for technology clients, while capacity reallocation toward customised glove production aims to sustain margins. Riverstone expects utilisation to stay above 80% in Q4 on continued cleanroom orders.

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.
