UMS Integration Limited, listed on the SGX Mainboard, has announced a 5% increase in net attributable profit, reaching S$20.1 million for the first half of FY2025. This growth is attributed to a 14% rise in revenue, totalling S$125 million, despite challenges such as US trade tariffs and geopolitical tensions.
The company’s semiconductor segment was a significant contributor, with sales surging by 17% to S$107.4 million. This increase offset declines in other areas, such as a 14% drop in aerospace sales due to delivery delays. UMS’s CEO, Andy Luong, highlighted the company’s resilience and strategic focus, stating, “We continue to do better every quarter—delivering improved results in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of FY2025 despite unprecedented challenges.”
UMS also declared a second interim dividend of 1 cent per share, bringing total dividends to 2 cents per share for the first half of the financial year. The company remains optimistic about future growth, particularly in the semiconductor sector, which is expected to benefit from AI-driven demand and global supply chain shifts.
Looking ahead, UMS is poised to capitalise on the global semiconductor industry’s recovery and the ongoing aviation boom. The company has also successfully completed a secondary listing on Bursa Malaysia, which is expected to enhance shareholder value and improve share liquidity.
