Frencken Group’s profit down 17.3% in H1 22

It posted $26m earnings in the first half of 2022.

Frencken Group Limited recorded $26m earnings, down 17.3% year-on-year (YoY) in the first half (H1) of 2022 compared to $31m reported a year ago.

In a statement, the group’s revenue grew 3.6% from $375b in H1 2021 to $388b in H1 2022. Under the revenue, its mechatronics division went up 6.2% to $340.3m in H1 2022 from $320.4m in H1 2021.

Sales of the semiconductor segment went up 8.5% YoY to $152.8m in H1 2022. Its increase was driven by higher orders for front-end semiconductor equipment from customers in Europe and Asia.

Its medical segment went down 6.8% YoY to $60.8m in H1 2022 because of decelerated sales to customers in Europe.

The group’s finance costs went up 39.8% to $1.5m in H1 2022 from $1m in the same period last year following higher trade financing and interest on lease liabilities.

The gross profit declined 7% YoY to $60.8m in H1 2022 whilst gross profit margin eased to 15.6% in H1 2022 from 17.4% in the same period last year “due to variation in sales mix and inflationary cost pressures.”

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.
