Yangzijiang records $124.2m net profit in Q4

Thanks to the absence of impairment provision made in 2015.

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding reported a 76% YoY rise in revenue to RMB5.5b and a net profit of RMB607.8m ($124.2m) in 4Q16.

According to OCBC, this is compared to the net profit of RMB41.5m in 4Q15, with higher revenue and the absence of impairment provision of RMB369m made in 4Q15 boosting yields in the past quarter.

"For the full year, YZJ recorded net profit of RMB1.75b vs. our forecast of RMB1.84b, within expectations. Gross profit margin of 24.1% in FY16 was healthy, compared to 23.2% in FY15. The group has proposed a final dividend of $0.04/share compared to $0.045/share in FY15, translating to a yield of 4.3%, based on yesterday’s closing price of $0.925," OCBC said.

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.
