Venture's profits down 6.1% in FY13

Revenue also dipped by 2.4%.

According to OCB CInvestment Research, Venture Corp (VMS) managed to deliver continued sequential improvement in its quarterly revenue and PATMI for FY13. It believes this reflects the recovery momentum of the global economy and consequently VMS’s operations, although FY13 revenue and PATMI still came in 2.4% and 6.1% lower than FY12, respectively.

Here's more:

The main drag came from its Printing and Imaging (P&I) segment, which registered a 32.6% slump in revenue. HP, one of VMS’s key P&I customers, recently highlighted that it is experiencing ASP pressures, although underlying unit demand is improving. VMS is placing more focus on the higher margin commercial high-end printing segment and has also diversified into label printing and 3D printing.

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.
