VICOM reports flat growth amidst intense competition in non-vehicle testing business

The company’s net profit attributable to shareholders increased by 1.3%.

VICOM Ltd reported a flat revenue growth of 0.8% citing strong competition in its non-vehicle testing business, according to its half-year results.

"VICOM has achieved a steady performance for the first half of 2024. For the vehicle testing business, we continue to be focused on the new "On-Board Unit" installation project. For the non-vehicle testing business, we are keeping a close watch on costs amid intense competition, market volatility, and supply chain challenges that are exerting pressure on margins," Sim Wing Yew, CEO of VICOM said.

Operating profit grew 1.6%, reaching $16.8m in H1 whilst net profit attributable to shareholders increased by $0.2m or 1.3% to $14.1m. EBITDA grew by 3.8%.

A tax-exempt one-tier interim dividend of 2.80 cents per share has been declared.

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.
