Midas Holdings’ net profit up 18.1% to $122.5m in FY14

On back of lower tax expenses.

Midas Holdings reported an 18.1% increase in net profit to $122.5m (RMB56.3m) in FY14, on back of a 83.2% decline in tax expense.

The group’s revenue grew 14.8% to $286.5m (RMB1.3b) driven by higher business volume from its aluminum alloy extruded products division.

In spite of the good headline numbers, OCBC cautions that Midas’ outlook remains uncertain due to several reasons including uncertain sales volume from new light alloy division and the potential impact on future orders from CSR/CNR proposed merger.

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.
