Losses Narrow Over Five Years, But FY 2025 Still In The Red

• Over the trailing 12 months to 2H FY 2025, the company recorded total revenue of S$61.7 million and a net loss of S$0.9 million, with basic EPS at a loss of S$0.001835. This aligns with the broader point that the business is still unprofitable, even though losses have reduced at an average rate of 61.3% per year over the past five years.
• Bulls who focus on the 61.3% average annual reduction in losses get partial support here, but the latest numbers still show a loss:
  • The swing from a net profit of S$0.4 million in 1H FY 2025 to a net loss of S$1.3 million in 2H FY 2025, on revenue of S$31.9 million and S$29.7 million respectively, shows that earnings are not yet consistently positive.
  • Even on a trailing 12 month basis, with S$61.7 million of revenue, the company has not yet converted that turnover into positive net income. This keeps the bullish loss reduction story firmly in “work in progress” territory.

To see how these mixed signals around shrinking losses and ongoing unprofitability fit into the broader story, have a look at how different investors are framing the balance of upside and risk in the full narrative. 📊 Read the full China Next-Gen Commerce and Supply Chain Consensus Narrative.

P/S At 13.3x Versus 0.4x Industry Average

• The stock trades on a P/S of 13.3x compared with a peer average of 5.4x and a Hong Kong Construction industry average of 0.4x, which means investors are currently paying a much higher multiple of sales than is typical for the sector.
• Skeptics who point to valuation risk see these gaps as central to their argument:
  • With trailing 12 month revenue of S$61.7 million and a trailing net loss of S$0.9 million, the high P/S multiple is not backed by current profitability, so bears argue the valuation leaves little room for disappointment if operating trends weaken further.
  • Critics also highlight that the absence of quantified forward earnings or cash flow projections in the available data makes it harder to justify paying more than double the peer P/S, which can weigh on sentiment if the company does not show clearer progress toward sustained profits.

Volatile Share Price Against Ongoing Losses

• The share price sits at S$10.43, and the stock has shown high volatility over the past three months compared with the Hong Kong market, while the business remains loss making on a trailing 12 month net income of S$0.9 million.
• For more cautious investors, this combination of volatility and losses tends to be a key concern:
  • Bears argue that when a company is still reporting losses, such as the S$1.3 million loss in 2H FY 2025, sharp price swings can amplify the impact of any negative news on returns over short periods.
  • The fact that losses have been shrinking over five years at a 61.3% annual rate gives some context, but the current loss position means price moves can be driven heavily by changing expectations, which may not always track the underlying fundamentals closely.
