Sheng Siong profit inches up 2.6% in FY2024

Revenue also increased 4.5% YoY.

Sheng Siong Group reported a 2.6% increase in net profit to $137.5m for the financial year ended 2024, driven by new store openings and improved performance across its existing outlets.

Revenue also increased 4.5% year-on-year to $1.43b, up from $1.37b in FY2023. The growth was attributed to the addition of six new stores in 2024 and the continued contribution of two outlets opened in 2023.

Other income surged 20.6% to $19.2m, boosted by unrealised exchange gains on USD-denominated fixed deposits, higher rental income from expanded leased retail space, and increased scrap material sales.

Expenses also climbed, with administrative costs up 17.9% to $58.5m and selling and distribution costs rising 6.8% to $236.5m, mainly due to higher staff costs and expansion-related expenses.

The Board has proposed a final dividend of $0.032 per share, bringing the total FY2024 dividend to $0.064, up from $0.0625 in FY2023. The payout ratio remains 70%.

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.
