Yinson announces strong 2Q post-divestment of non-core business

-

KUCHING: Yinson Holdings Bhd (Yinson) has announced yesterday a revenue of RM114.4 million for its second quarter results for financial year 2017 (2QFY17), translatin­g to an increase of 16.3 per cent year over year (y- o-y).

Yinson’s 2QFY17 results also reported a core profit after tax ( PAT) of RM61.5 million, which saw a profit increase of 84 per cent y- o-y.

This increase in revenue and profit was mainly contribute­d by Yinson’s floating, production, storage, and offloading ( FPSO) business activities, and the higher conversion of US dollar against the ringgit.

“Additional­ly from Yinson’s continuing operations, the group’s results during its first half of financial year 2017 (1HFY17), also showcased a revenue and core profit of RM229.8 million and RM97.3 million, respective­ly.

“When compared y- o-y, these results translate to an increases of 16.4 per cent for revenue and 37 per cent for core profit.”

This was contribute­d by improvemen­t in gross profit margin and higher contributi­on from joint venture companies.

“Our f irst hal f results demonstrat­e the Group’s stability and resilience in the current volatile oil and gas market. The group’s approach to focus on prudent management and in securing solid, long- term contracts has anchored the Group securely in tough market conditions.

As a full-fledged oil and gas company specialisi­ng in offshore production services, we take pride in the Group’s consistent performanc­e and profitabil­ity as can be seen in this quarter’s results. — Bernama
