Here’s more from OCBC:
Rotary Engineering delivered a weak set of 3Q results and were worse than our and the consensus estimates. 3Q revenue and profits fell by 25% and 40% YoY to S$117m and S$8m respectively, attributable to slower-than-expected progress on its Middle East projects during the month of Ramadan. On a 9-month basis, revenue and net profits formed only about 60% of our respective full-year estimates. On a positive note, gross margin was sustained at 26%, while order-book remained unchanged at S$758m (2Q: S$757m) . |
