Lian Beng's revenue up 49.1%

Lian Beng Group's revenue surged 49.1 percent year-on-year to $753.9 million, while itsnet profit was up 38.7 percent to $127 million.

The record turnover was due to revenue increases in almost all its business segments, such as external sales of its construction segment and external sales of ready-mixed concrete.

Property development sales topped $199.5 million thanks to revenue from M-Space, an industrial property development, along with residential projects, Spottiswoode Suites and Lincoln Suites, as well as The Midtown and Midtown Residences (pictured), a mixed development in Hougang.

The Westlite Mandai Dormitory also contributed a full 12 months' revenue of $18.2 million.

Ong Pang Aik, Lian Beng's Executive Chairman, said, "These all-time high records are the fruits of the business strategy which we implemented in the past. This successful financial year is a testimony of our sound strategy of diversifying our business into related segments such as ready-mixed concrete, property development and investment, and dormitory."

Looking ahead, the Group's dormitory business segment is expected to continue to contribute to its revenue.
