Riverstone logs 54.5% YoY net profit growth in Q124

This marks the fifth consecutive quarter of growth for the company.

Riverstone Holdings Limited continued to report gains in the first quarter of 2024 (Q124) following a 54.5% increase in its net profit to $20.62m (RM72.2m) versus the same period last year.

The company said this was the fifth consecutive quarter of sequential growth.

The growth was backed by an increase in revenue by 4.8% year-on-year (YoY) to $71.25m (RM249.5m) driven by higher sales volume from the cleanroom glove segment following the recovery of semiconductor and consumer electronics industries.

“Riverstone recommended an interim dividend of 4.0 sen (RM), translating to a dividend pay-out ratio of 82.1% for the period under review,” it said.

The company is optimistic about the growth of its core cleanroom glove segment. It expects the recovery in the semiconductor and consumer electronics industries by end-FY2024 will drive orders for our gloves.

Riverstone also plans on building new lines this year to increase capacity for cleanroom glove production to support longer-term demand in the space.

“We are better positioned to capitalise on the uptrend given our product mix entailing higher-value customised products. Going forward, we will continue to focus on increasing our product value and new customer acquisition through customisation,” Riverstone Chairman and CEO Wong Teek Son said.

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.
