Libra clinches $9.5m in M&E contracts

Bringing its order book up to $94.4m YTD.

Last Friday evening, Libra announced that it has been awarded S$9.5m of M&E contracts, which brings its order book up to an estimated S$94.4m year-to-date.

This is ~3.0x of last year’s revenues (FY13: S$31.5m) and represents strong order book momentum for the group which has announced S$21.6m of new contracts over the last two months. 

The latest awards comprise a S$5.4m M&E contract for a proposed condo project at Tampines St 86 (to be completed in Jul-16), and a S$4.1m sub-contract for a teaching facilities building (Block 8A) at Temasek Polytechnic (to be completed in Aug-15).

OCBC believes the new management team is gaining good traction in terms of growing business volumes, while leveraging on tailwinds from the firm public construction outlook. Since OCBC’s initiation on Libra as the top pick in the small cap space on 27 Oct, its share price has appreciated 7.5% to date and OCBC continues to see value at current levels given significant potential for earnings and dividends growth ahead.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
