Trek 2000’s net profit slipped 27.6% to just USD550,000 in Q3

Blame it on much higher R&D costs.

Trek 2000 disappointed shareholders after posting a 27.6% decline in attributable profit for the third quarter, mainly due to a jump in R&D costs.

According to RHB Research, Trek 2000 was also impacted by a USD600,000 loss from its subsidiary Racer Group.

“Trek’s FY15 has been fairly disappointing. It has simply gone off track partially due to lower margins from the group’s interactive consumer solutions business segment as well as higher R&D expenses. Going forward, it is likely for such high R&D expenses to continue as the company is currently collaborating with partners on the development and commercialisation of various products within varied spaces,” RHB said.

“In addition, Trek has also not announced any new contract wins or continued orders from Rely/Mattel China or other customers to date,” RHB 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.
