After net loss, will Top Glove be back in black?

It posted $51.6m net loss in the first quarter ending November 2022.

Glove manufacturer, Top Glove, posted a net loss of $51.6m (RM168m) in the first quarter that ended November 2022.

For 1QFY2023, the SGX-listed manufacturer recorded sales revenue of $194m (RM633m) and loss after tax of $48m (RM158m).

Whilst sales volume (Quantity Sold) eased about 48% year on year as it continued to be impacted by persistent headwinds.

The softer financial performance was on the back of the “ongoing glove supply/demand imbalance which saw customers holding off restocking activity as they continued to deplete existing glove inventory, coupled with a lack of urgency to place orders in light of excess production capacity within the glove industry.“

In a statement, the firm said they are optimistic that they can recover by next year.

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.
