UE E&C's net profit up 14% to S$4.8m

Thanks to larger contributions from current projects.

According to OCBC Investment Research, UE E&C reported a 43% YoY increase in revenue to S$87.6m and a 14% YoY increase in net profit of S$4.8m in 1Q13. 

Here's more:

The improvements were mainly due to larger contribution from existing projects. However, 1Q gross profit margin fell to 10.8% from 15.4% in the year-ago quarter as some of the projects were still in preparatory stages. We expect the construction pace to pick up in 2H13.

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.
