Here’s more from DMG:
OKP, Singapore's only listed road specialist, reported 3Q earnings of S$4.9 million (+8.3% YoY), which is in line with our expectations. This was on the back of a 30% YoY fall in revenue, which was mainly due to the completion and substantial completion of existing projects, as well as a lower percentage of revenue recognised from a few newly-awarded projects. Gross profit margin surged from 19.4% to 32.4% on the back of cost savings in design-and-build construction projects, as well as better project management and tighter cost controls. Balance sheet continues to be strong, with a net cash per share of S$0.31 (55% of share price). Order book, at S$433m, will likely grow with new mega jobs up for grabs, including the construction of new dual four-lane Lornie Road in Bukit Brown, and the construction of the North-South Expressway. |
