Net tangible assets per share increased from Singapore 20.88 cents to Singapore 25.25 cents.The Group faced a challenging global environment marked by unprecedented protectionism and trade tensions. However, through restructuring, innovation and financial prudence, the Group was able to deliver two successive years of profitability. During the year, the Group pared down S$11.28m of its interest-bearing loans, reducing the gearing ratio from 37.75% to 10.39%. The Group also lifted the mortgage on a property.The results reflected a broad-based recovery across the Group's segments, with the marine offshore and gas processing sectors showing signs of improvement. Construction activities were initially impacted by various factors but have started to recover. Demand for automation and precision engineering remained strong.Looking ahead, the Group expects the positive trend to continue in the next financial year, but the outlook beyond that is uncertain due to the deteriorating global situation and potential risks of stagflation and economic crisis. As a result, the Group has decided to conserve cash, focus on debt reduction, and hold off on dividend payments until the global economic situation becomes clearer.

Guidance

The Group expects its revenue and profitability to be sustained in the next financial year, but the outlook beyond that is hazy due to the deteriorating global situation and potential risks of stagflation and economic crisis.
