Ley Choon Group's net profit doubles to $9.7m in FY2023

Its revenue grew to $123.9m due to increasing construction activities.

SGX-listed Ley Choon Group Holdings Limited (Ley Choon) recorded a 104.3% year-over-year (YoY) rise in its net profit to $9.7m in FY2023, which ended on 31 March.

Net profit for FY2022 was $4.8m.

The group's revenue increased 33.4% YoY to $123.9m from $92.9m due to the company ramping up its construction activities.

Its gross profit margin expanded by 1.5 points YoY to 13.2% from 11.7% due to a "favourable project mix and revenue growth during the period."

The company also reduced its total borrowings to $19.9m as of 31 March from $27.9m, improving its debt-to-equity ratio to 0.4 times from 0.7 times.

Looking forward, Ley Choon CEO and executive Chairman Toh Choo Huat expects a sizeable number of older infrastructures needing replacement in the near future.

"In the coming year or so, we will capitalize on this uptrend and bid for more projects to replenish or even grow our order book further," Toh said in the group's SGX filing.

“However, we will be prudent and selective with the projects we choose to participate in, taking into consideration working capital needs, manpower allocation, as well as managing the relatively higher raw material costs. Ultimately, we want to steer the group towards a sustainable growth path that will benefit shareholders in the long term," Toh added.

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.
