Epicentre sinks into the red in 1H16

Despite a growth in revenue.

Epicentre Holdings reported a net loss of $0.8m in the first six months of its financial year.

Group revenue rose to $97.6 million, an increase of 1.9%, or $1.8 million compared to the corresponding period last year.

The revenue growth was largely contributed by the increase in sale volume for Apple CPU and other apple products during the October 2015 to December 2015 period. The growth was however, partially offset by the increase in price competition of computer products.

Despite the growth in revenue, gross profit decreased by $0.9 million from $8.98 million to $8.08 million, caused by the decline in gross profit margin from 9.4% in 1H2015 to 8.3% in 1H2016.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
