Gross profit climbs 4.3% in FY23 for Sheng Siong Group, net profit margins stable

The group’s earnings per share ended at 8.89 cents.

Sheng Siong Group’s 2023 revenue increased by 2.1% year-on-year (YoY) to S$1.4b, driven by the addition of six new stores, contributing to a 2.5% YoY increase in total sales.

However, this growth was offset partially by lower revenue from the Yishun store, which closed in FY2022 due to lease expiration.

Gross profit rose by 4.3% YoY to S$410.5m, with a gross margin expansion of 0.6 percentage points to 30.0% YoY, attributed to efforts in refining the sales mix and managing increased staff costs and utilities expenses.

Earnings per share ended at 8.89 cents, up by 0.2% YoY. The board proposed a final dividend of 3.20 cents per share, bringing the total cash dividend for FY2023 to 6.25 cents per share, maintaining a consistent dividend payout ratio of around 70.0%.

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.
