Hock Lian Seng’s earnings soar 128.8% in H1 2024

Gross profit surged 213.9% to $21.3m.

Hock Lian Seng’s earnings for H1 2024 surged 128.8% to $20.4m from $8.9m a year ago.

Gross profit soared 213.9% to $21.3m from $6.7m in H1 2023, driven by positive contributions from the civil engineering and property development segments.

The increase in the civil engineering segment was due to the finalisation of accounts with subcontractors as the CAG JV project neared completion, whilst the rise in the property development segment was boosted by higher revenue and favorable prices at Shine@Tuas South units.

Meanwhile, revenue for the period fell 6.0% to $99.8m from $106.1m due to lower contributions from the civil engineering segment, offset by the higher turnover from the property development segment.

As of 30 June, the company’s order book for the civil engineering segment totals $624m which includes the Aviation Park station project and Serangoon North Station project.

Earnings per share stood at $0.0398.

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.
