Beng Kuang Marine posts $11.3 mil profit before tax for 1QFY2024 from land sale

This surpasses the company’s FY2023 profit before tax of $10.82 million.

Beng Kuang Marine has posted profit before tax of $11.32 million for 1QFY2024 ended March 31, with a one-time gain of $5.83 million from a land sale.

This surpasses the company’s FY2023 profit before tax of $10.82 million.

Gross profit for the quarter surged 208.0% y-o-y to $9.79 million, while revenue grew 113.1% y-o-y to $28.63 million.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter increased to $14.11 million from $12.19 million as at end 2023, while total borrowings fell to $9.14 million from $14.14 million.

Yong Jiunn Run, chief executive officer of Beng Kuang Group, says the robust performance in 1QFY2024 underscores Beng Kuang Group’s successful transition towards an “asset-light, service-oriented business model” with new value propositions, particularly within the offshore oil and gas market.
