VICOM logs 10.2% increase in H1 net profit

Thanks to the increase in OBU installation activities, amongst others.

VICOM Ltd’s net profit attributable to shareholders reached $15.6m in the first half (H1) of the year, up 10.2% from last year.

According to a bourse filing, the company’s revenue jumped 24.1% to $69.8m in the first six months of the year, whilst its operating profit increased 12.3% to $18.9m.

"We have performed well in H1 2025, mainly driven by the acceleration of OBU [On-Board Units] installation activities and improved contributions from our non-vehicle testing capabilities,” VICOM CEO Sim Wing Yew said.

VICOM expects satisfactory performance in the second half of 2025 as demand for vehicle testing and related work is expected to be strong, with the installation of OBU for the Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) 2.0 exercise in full swing.

Demand for non-vehicle testing is also expected to remain stable, but there is increased uncertainty regarding the effects of US tariffs on the manufacturing sector and the overall economy.

“We will continue to be vigilant, adapting to potential market uncertainties whilst meeting evolving industry needs,” Sim said.

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.
