SIIC Environment’s profits soar 30.8% to $18.59m in Q1

Due to higher water treatment, supply sales volume.

SIIC Environment posted a 30.8% YoY increase to RMB89.45m (roughly $18.59m) in its Q1 net profit attributable to shareholders. This is thanks to revenue growth in all its categories boosting overall revenue by a whopping 50.6% YoY to RMB563m ($117.03).

According to the company’s news release, the company enjoyed rising amounts of construction activities in progress, higher water treatment and supply sales volume, and positive contribution by newly acquired entities. Service income also went up due to a newly acquired asset in 2QFY15.

Meanwhile, RHB notes in a report that SIIC Environment has confirmed its dual-listing in Hong Kong by the end of the year. This could boost the company's liquidity, as well as reduce SIIC Environment’s financing costs.

In addition, there is a positive signal that capacity growth will surpass target. Should SIIC Environment's acquisition of Longjiang Environmental Protection Group go through, SIIC Environment could exceed its target of 1-1.5m tonnes/day annual capacity increment.

SIIC Environment also has over 80 wastewater treatment plants and is poised to bag more sludge treatment projects within the vicinity of its facilities. As sludge treatment projects usually typically yield a much higher IRR than wastewater treatment project, any significant sludge projects awarded to SIIC Environment would help boost its ROE.

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.
