Keong Hong profit falls 96% as revenue contracts

Order book stands at $182m.

Keong Hong Holdings’ first-quarter profit fell 95.8% as construction revenue dropped on fewer ongoing projects.

Net profit attributable to shareholders fell to $292,000 for the three months ended 31 December 2025, from $7m a year earlier, whilst earnings per share declined to 0.12 cents from 2.96 cents.

Revenue fell 66.7% to $23.7m after the completion of two projects in FY 2025, reducing the group’s construction base.

The weaker result was compounded by a sharp decline in other income, which fell to $1.3m from $7.6m.

Construction remained the group’s sole revenue source, with almost all sales generated in Singapore. Gross profit fell to $1.4m from $3.8m, although gross margin improved slightly to 5.9% from 5.4%.

The balance sheet remained broadly stable, with total assets at $170.5m and total liabilities at $110.5m as at 31 December 2025.

Bank borrowings fell to $10.1m from $13.2m, whilst cash and cash equivalents rose to $27.7m after proceeds from the disposal of a non-current asset held for sale and dividend income from a joint venture.

Keong Hong said its construction order book stood at about $182m, comprising Solitaire on Cecil and HDB’s Tengah Plantation BTO project.

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.
