Although the revenue figure was roughly within our expectations, net profit was below due to lower-than-expected operating margins for its construction and engineering operations.
On its balance sheet, net cash position improved to S$119m (end June 12: S$104m). Meanwhile, we also note that the EC/condo market is facing increasing headwinds as the government rolls out a record number of residential sites.
