OSIM third quarter profit up 86% to S$13mln

Despite 5% fall in sales to $117mln, the company’s cash flow and profitability grew.

OSIM said its profit after tax was $13.0 million a surge of 86 percent its third quarter sales.

The company also posted EBITDA at $19.3 million, an increase of 42 percent. Its profit before tax was up 52 percent $17.0 million and tts cash & cash equivalents at $54 million.

“We are pleased to announce a strong set of results for the quarter. During the quarter we grew cash flow and profitability. The conversion of GNC Australia into franchised outlets resulted in lower sales recognition. However, this conversion has given rise to better profitability for our Australian subsidiary, according to an OSIM report.

Overall group gross margins and profits were up due to a better product mix. As at 30 September 2010, cash & cash equivalents totaled $54 million.

For 9 months FY 2010, our profit after tax was $33.1 million. In the coming months more new products will be introduced and we expect this will contribute positively to sales, cash flow and profitability.”

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.
