Lum Chang's net profit dips 1% to $29.5m

This is despite a whopping 36% revenue increase.

Despite a posting a 36% spike in revenue, construction group Lum Chang Holdings registered a 1% decline in net profit for the year ending in June.

In a statement, the group said the spike in revenue is due to the commencement of revenue recognition for two construction projects.

"No revenue was recognized for these projects in the previous year as the construction progress then, had not yet reached the stage where revenue recognition could commence," Lum Chang said.

Alongside the revenue increase is the swelling of the cost of sales at 37%, from $268.3 million last year to $368.8 million.

The group also reported a 29% slip in its other income to $2.13 million.

Administrative and finance expenses also inflated at 18% and 82%, respectively.

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.
