Riverstone's third-quarter profit up 14.7% QoQ on AI-led cleanroom demand

REvenue inched up by 1.1% to $76.7m (RM247.5m).

Riverstone Holdings’ third-quarter net profit rose 14.7% quarter on quarter to $16.1m (RM52m), lifted by higher cleanroom glove demand from AI and data centre clients.

Revenue increased 1.1% QoQ to $76.7m (RM247.5m), driven by stronger shipments of cleanroom and customised healthcare gloves. Demand from technology-linked sectors offset slower sales in general healthcare products.

Gross profit rose 16.5% to $23.8m (RM76.6m), lifting margins to 30.9% from 26.8% a year earlier, supported by lower raw material costs and better product mix. Operating expenses were stable, with net cash increasing to $252.6m (RM814.8m).

Newly commissioned cleanroom lines are expected to raise output for technology clients, while capacity reallocation toward customised glove production aims to sustain margins. Riverstone expects utilisation to stay above 80% in Q4 on continued cleanroom orders.

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.
