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.

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.
