Hyflux profit up 21% to S$17.5m

The firm’s revenue for the second quarter increased 71% YoY.

OCBC Investment Research noted:

Hyflux Ltd saw 2Q12 revenue jumping 71% YoY and 37% QoQ to S$190.4m, buoyed by its ongoing projects in Asia. Net profit climbed 21% YoY and 129% QoQ to S$17.5m.

For 1H12, revenue grew 66% to S$329.3m, meeting 56% of our FY12 forecast, while net profit rose 15% to S$25.2m, or 39% of our full-year forecast.

We deem the results to be in-line as Hyflux typically achieves 40% of its earnings in the first half. It also declared an interim dividend of 0.7c/share, up from 0.6c last year.

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.
