UMS H1 net profit drops 35% to $19.5m

The decline was due to lower sales.

UMS Holdings (UMS) reported a 35% decline in net profit to $19.5m in H1 2024 as sales softened 29% compared to last year.

Revenue for the period stood at $109.9m despite lower sales and earnings. On a quarterly basis, UMS’ revenue fell 25% year-on-year (YoY) to $56m in Q2 Q024 from $74.4m in Q2 2023.

Semiconductor sales dropped 29% YoY due to weaker global chip demand, whilst the Others segment saw a 7% decline as the general slowdown in Q2 2024 impacted the material and tooling distribution business.

Meanwhile, the Aerospace segment showed a modest growth of 5% amidst sustained recovery in the aerospace industry.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
