Riverstone Holdings' Q3 net profit jumps to $21.73m

The group's revenue rose to $89.83m thanks to increased production volume.

Riverstone Holdings Limited has reported a 21.8% year-on-year (YoY) increase in net profit for the third quarter, reaching $21.73m (RM 72.2m), up from $17.83m (RM 59.26m) in the previous year, according to its bourse filing.

The group’s revenue increased 33.9% YoY to $89.83m (RM 298.43m), driven by increased production volume and higher average selling prices.

Gross profit rose 33.2% YoY to $31.18m (RM 103.61m), with the gross profit margin remaining stable at 34.7%. However, the operating profit margin declined to 30.3% due to foreign exchange losses from the strengthening ringgit against the US dollar.

The board recommended an interim dividend of 4.0 sen per ordinary share. Including the 8.0 sen declared and paid this year, payout ratio stood at 82%.

Riverstone continues to expand its capacity, with six cleanroom production lines and three healthcare lines expected to be commissioned by the end of 2024, and an additional three healthcare lines slated for completion by the first quarter of 2025.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
