SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - KSH Holdings has reported FY2023 earnings of $22.3 million, down $1.9 million from the preceding year ended March 31 2023, as the company’s share of earnings from associates and joint ventures dropped.
Revenue in the same year was up 25.4% to $301.4 million, as KSH booked more construction revenue, which has an order book of more than $240 million as at March 31.
The company plans to pay a final dividend of a cent, bringing full year payout to 2 cents.
Most of KSH’s launched development projects in Singapore are either fully sold or almost fully sold to date.
It has four on-going property joint ventures in Singapore: Peace Centre/Peace Mansion, Euro-Asia Apartments at 1037 Serangoon Road, Park View Mansions and Bagnall Court.
In China, KSH is part of a consortium developing the Singapore Sino Health City in the Gaobeidian county near Beijing.
