Yongnam pre-tax profits up 33% to S$48.8 million

The Group's main contributor, Structural Steelworks, saw marginal increase in revenue from S$254.2 million in FY2008 to S$256.8 in FY2009.

Yongnam's multiple contracts at the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort and Vista Xchange made up for lower contributions from the Group's overseas projects.

The 33.0% rise in pre-tax profit from S$36.7 million in FY2008 was achieved despite a 6.3% increase in general and administrative expenses to S$27.8 million. Contributory to the surge in expenses were increased staff costs, professional fees and repairs to premises.

Mr Seow Soon Yong, Chief Executive Officer of Yongnamm said, "The Group continues to benefit from the increased spending on mega infrastructural projects in the region. The Group's strong competitive advantage and proximity to our markets allow us to enjoy good market share, contributing to record performances for the past four years."

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.
