IPCO's net profit sinks 97.6% to $34,000

Blame it on lower sales.

Singapore-listed developer IPCO Group reported a whopping 97.6% decline in its net profit for the quarter ending in July mainly due to lower sales.

The group's sale of goods dipped 43.6% from $7 million last year to $3.9 million in the said quarter. This brought revenue crashing 32% to $9.98 million.

The group's total net profit spiraled down from $1.4 million last year to $34,000 in the quarter mentioned.

The group's ESA Electronics Pte Ltd., which operates in the semiconductor industry, recorded a 43.6% decrease in turnover of $3.9 million as compared to $7 million last year.

"The decrease was mainly due to lower demand of burn-in boards by semiconductor manufacturers in the current quarter," the group explained.

Meanwhile, sales from installation, connection and delivery of natural gas from Excellent Empire fell 7.6% from $6.5 million to $6 million.

"This was mainly due to decrease in installations of new households, commercial and industrial users, resulting in lower connection fees," IPCO stated.

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.
