Excelpoint posts lower net profit of US$4.4m in FY15

Increased creditors and accruals led to higher costs.

Excelpoint Technology (Excelpoint) closed FY15 with US$4.4m in net profit, down from US$7.1m in FY14.

According to the company’s media release, the decline is on back of a US$2.3m spike in sales and distribution expenses, a US$400,000 jump in interest costs, and a US$300,000 climb from in other expenses. The latter comprised mainly of provisions for inventory and doubtful debts.

Excelpoint asserts that hike in costs is mainly attributed by the increase in trade creditors and accruals, which is partially offset by the climb on trade debtors and stock balances.

At the end of the financial years, cash and short-term deposits amounted to US$10.7m, compared to FY14’s US$11.8m.

Excelpoint Chairman and CEO Albert Phuay notes that looking forward, the electronics industry may see some opportunities in view of the new solutions and products that were announced at the recent Consumer Electronics Show. Phuay also says that while Excelpoint will be preparing to pounce on these opportunities, the company will also exercise caution in business management.

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.
