BBR's net profit crashed by a staggering 99.2% to $900,000 in Q2

On back of bleak construction outlook.

BBR Holdings reported that its net profit plunged by a whopping 99.2% year-on-year to $900,000 in the second quarter.

The steep decline was due to lower revenue from its construction and property development segments.

The group’s gross margins also fell from 6.6% in the first half of 2014 to 5.8% in the first half of 2015.

“The lower gross margin achieved was generally a reflection of the current competitive and challenging environment in the construction industry, such as, labour shortages which have led to higher construction costs,” said BBR Holdings.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
