OSIM’s net profit expected to dip in FY14 as expansion costs take their toll
Don’t expect a turnaround in 1H15.
OSIM’s shareholders shouldn’t expect a fat payout at the end of FY14. According to Maybank Kim Eng, OSIM’s bottomline is expected to take a beating in FY14, as the costs of its TWG expansion is expected to materialise when the group reports its results on 3 February.
Maybank Kim Eng estimates OSIM’s earnings per share to have fallen 11% YoY, while earnings are expected to fall 20% YoY to $22.3m.
