Hong Leong Asia’s profit soars 60.9% to $49.5m in H1 2024

EPS stood at 6.62 Singaporean cents in H1 2024.

Hong Leong Asia saw its net profit attributable to shareholders propel by 60.9% on a year-on-year (YoY) basis to $49.5m in the first half of the year (H1 2024), the group’s latest bourse filing showed.

Similarly, H1 2024 saw its net profit surge 44.3% YoY to $92.5m. The group registered a revenue of $2.3b, an 8.5% YoY uptick compared to last year’s $2.0b.

The group attributed its profitability to the strong performance at Yuchai and building materials unit (BMU) on the back of improving market conditions in Singapore, Malaysia, and China.

In Singapore and Malaysia, BMU revenue grew 5.0% YoY to $321.5m as demand for building materials in ready-mix concrete continued, led by public sector projects in Singapore.

The group's earnings per share (EPS) stood at 6.62 Singaporean cents during the first six months.

Hong Leong Asia expects its order books in the Precast and Ready-Mix Concrete segments to grow further from public and private sector projects in Singapore.

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.
