BRC Asia net profit up 9% to $42.1m in H1 2025

Revenue for the period fell 6%.

BRC Asia posted a 9% increase in net profit to $42.1m for the six months ended 31 March 2025, driven by lower operating costs and stronger other income.

The group's revenue for the period fell 6% to $715.6m due to weaker steel prices and project bottlenecks in the construction sector, including delays in engineering services.

Gross profit also fell 10% to $67.4m, with the gross margin slipping to 9.4% from 9.9% due to a $7.7m provision for onerous contracts. Operating expenses decreased by 16% to $23.8m, helped by lower finance costs and reduced other operating expenses.

BRC has proposed an interim dividend of $0.06%, representing a 39% payout ratio and a 1.9% yield.

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.
