Yangzijiang Shipbuilding profit soars 61.7% to $1.22b in FY2024

Revenue also rose 10.1% YoY.

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd., a Straits Times Index component company, reported a 61.7% year-on-year (yoy) increase in profit to $1.22b (RMB6.6b) for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 (FY2024).

The group's revenue also rose 10.1% YoY to $4.89b (RMB26.5b), driven by growth in shipbuilding and shipping.

Shipbuilding revenue, which made up 95% of total earnings, climbed 10.7% YoY to $4.64b ($25.2b), supported by higher newbuild prices and steady vessel construction.

Additionally, shipping revenue rose 21.6% YoY to $221m ($1.2b), boosted by improved charter rates and fleet expansion. The Group secured 6-36 month charter contracts for 60% of its fleet in 1H2024, improving revenue stability.

The company delivered 64 vessels in FY2024, surpassing its target of 63, with three added to its own fleet. Contributions from joint ventures and associated companies more than doubled to $103m (RMB559m), led by Yangzi-Mitsui Shipbuilding Co. Ltd (YAMIC), which delivered 14 vessels, up from 11 the previous year.

As of 31 December 2024, Yangzijiang’s orderbook stood at $32.6b ($24.4b) for 245 vessels, with deliveries extending through 2030. Eco-friendly vessels made up 74% of total order value, up from 54% in FY2023.

The company has proposed a final dividend of 12 Singapore cents per share, an 84.6% increase, bringing the dividend payout ratio to 38.6% and yield to 4%.

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.
