PEC closes H1 with higher net profit of $10.7m

Thanks to gains from assets, properties disposal.

PEC posted a profit after tax of $10.7m in 1HFY16, up from $4.7m from the same period in FY15.

According to the company’s media release, the growth is thanks to boosts by gains from the disposal of properties and assets.

Meanwhile, revenue jumped 30% to S$314.7m during the half-year, thanks to higher contributions from overseas project works.

As at the end of 2015, the company’s orderbook stood at $239.7m, excluding maintenance contracts.

Looking forward, PEC CEO Robert Dompeling notes that the company is bracing for fewer larger projects and increased competitive pressures. Dompeling further asserts that PEC is well positioned to snap up new project opportunities, as it did over the past two years when it secured three major contracts in the UAE.

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.
