Wee Hur gets boost from major projects
By OH BOON PING
Construction-related Wee Hur Holdings has nearly trebled its net profit to $13.15 million for the nine months ended Sept 30, while revenue rose 81 per cent to nearly $161 million.
The company did not report quarterly figures.
Based on its post-invitation share capital on a fully diluted basis, its earnings per share came to 4.10 cents - up from 1.38 cents a year ago.
The group attributed the higher turnover to more contributions coming from 'major projects with substantially higher contract value now in their more matured and/or completed stage of work in progress'.
As of end September, the group has about $279.6 million worth of contracts with completion dates ranging between late FY2009 to FY2013.
