The Group’s bottom line surged in the first quarter of 2026 despite a dip in its

gross material margin from 56% in 1QFY2025 to 53% in 1QFY2026, caused

mainly by the lower USD/SGD exchange rate during the period under review.

The Group's net attributable profit leapt 43% to S$14.0 million from S$9.8

million in 1QFY2025. Net profit also climbed 40% to S$14.2 million from S$10.1

million while pre-tax profit advanced 38% to S$15.7 million from S$11.4 million

during the same period.

Higher sales and a foreign exchange gain of S$1.5 million (vs a loss of over

S$1.05 million in 1QFY2025) helped lift the Group’s profitability in the first

quarter of the year. The foreign exchange gain was partially offset by lower

gains on disposal of fixed assets of S$0.6 million. The Group reversed a charge

of S$0.4 million to a gain of S$1.7 million in the current quarter.

The Group took steps to control overall expenses. While personnel costs and

depreciation increased, the Group’s other expenses edged up just 3% in the

first quarter of the year. Except for professional fees, freight charges and

insurance, all other costs stayed flat or declined.

Compared to 1QFY2025, personnel costs rose 6% mainly due to higher bonus

provisions. Depreciation expenses rose 17% as the Group added more

production equipment.

Healthy Cashflow

The Group's financial position remains healthy with net cash of S$26.0 million

as at the end of March 2026.
