Summary:

  • Full-year group revenue down 7.6% to S$106.1 million (FY2024: S$114.9 million), mainly due to softer demand across Metals and Engineering segments.

  • Net profit fell to S$9.54 million (FY2025) from S$12.73 million (FY2024); 2H profit also down to S$3.46 million from S$5.69 million prior year 2H.

  • Basic and diluted EPS: 8.08 cents (FY2025) vs 10.78 cents (FY2024).

  • Gross profit margin contracted to 25.6% (FY2025) from 27.2% (FY2024) on competitive pressures and cost fluctuations.

  • Net asset value per share rose to 81.64 cents (from 74.85 cents).

  • Final dividend for FY2025: 1.3 cents per share, lower than FY2024’s 1.67 cents.

  • Total assets increased to S$179.1 million (from S$159.0 million), partly due to property, plant, and equipment expansion and new investments.

  • Cash and cash equivalents climbed to S$20.07 million (from S$17.04 million).

  • Significant subsequent events: Further warrant exercise in Eneco Energy, now holding 951 million shares (~28.85% stake), and new property acquisition at 1 Benoi Road, Singapore.

  • Management stresses continued vigilance amid market uncertainties, focus on core steel/engineering businesses, and prudent capital deployment.
