SIIC Environment net profit up 110% YoY

On the back of higher volume and acquisitions.

The company can expect the good times to continue, with the Chinese government’s recent introductions of several environmental policies which should benefit the industry.

According to a report by Maybank Kim Eng, SIIC’s recurring water-treatment revenue was up 15% YoY, powered by higher volume and acquisitions. Full-year revenue rose 6% YoY and net profit, 75% YoY, both beating analyst forecasts by 5%.

Analysts expect industry consolidation to continue and believe it can gain further with its good track record, strong balance sheet and access to cheap funding. Share price has underperformed since CIC’s unexpected exit last December. The whole water sector was also sold down recently after the Sound Global incident.

However, analysts remain bullish. The Chinese government recently introduced several environmental policies which should benefit the industry, such as an Environmental Protection Law, sewage treatment fee collection & administration measures and a Notice on the Assessment and Adjustment of Wastewater Discharging Rates. Maybank KE expects more policy support in 2015.

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.
