Sheng Siong's net profit grows 4.4% to $17.1m in Q1

Thanks to higher yields from new stores.

Supermarket chain giant Sheng Siong posted healthy earnings for the quarter ending in March, with its bottom line expanding by 4% to $17.1m. This was mainly due to higher revenue from new stores.

However, its bottom line would have been higher if not for the lower reported other income and the higher operating expenses. The group's revenue grew 4.1% to $217m, up from $208.5m recorded a year ago.

Sheng Siong noted that comparable same store sale was lower due to lacklustre demand and the footfall declines in stores located in areas affected by the slowdown in the oil and gas industry.

Meanwhile, Sheng Siong's store at Block 506 Tampines was affected by the ongoing renovation. Woodlands store was affected by residents moving out due to the date of closure drawing near. The group reported that it has increased its number of outlets to 43 in the past quarter, up from 39 outlets a year ago.

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.
