BreadTalk's net profit up 35.1% to $4m

Its food atrium business reported a strong turnaround.

Despite the 1.5% slump in revenue to $148m, Breadtalk managed to report a solid net profit for the quarter ending in June, up 35.1% to $4m.

For the said quarter, its profit attributable to shareholders went up by 61% top $2.1m.

According to RHB analyst Juliana Cai, this was mainly driven by a strong turnaround in the food atrium business following the consolidation of operations last year.

For the quarter, its restaurant segment was the only division with revenue growth, up 4% to $37.9m.

"This was mainly contributed by the conversion of two RamenPlay Outlets to Sō at Nex Serangoon and BreadTalk HQ," the analyst said.

On the other hand, bakery revenues declined 3.4% YoY to $72.3m due to the termination of underperforming franchisees.

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.
