SGX Catalist-listed JEP Holdings Ltd has announced a 51.6% increase in net attributable profit, reaching S$1.6 million on sales of S$27.3 million for the first half of the financial year ending 31 December 2025. This growth is primarily driven by the strong performance of its Precision Machining segment, which serves the Aerospace and Semiconductor industries.
The Group’s revenue remained stable at S$27.3 million, with the Precision Machining segment achieving a 19.5% increase in revenue to S$18.4 million. However, this was offset by declines in the Equipment Manufacturing and Trading & Others segments, which saw revenues fall by 22.4% and 31.4%, respectively.
Profit before tax rose by 59.8% to S$1.9 million, supported by increased operating income and reduced expenses. The Group’s Executive Chairman and CEO, Andy Luong, highlighted the focus on Aerospace and Semiconductors as key growth areas, stating, “We continue to transition and evolve our business towards higher value, higher precision products.”
Despite challenges, JEP Holdings maintained a healthy financial position with net cash and cash equivalents of S$9.2 million as of 30 June 2025. The Group invested S$8.9 million in plant and equipment to position itself for future growth, particularly in the front-end semiconductor manufacturing sector.
Looking ahead, JEP Holdings aims to leverage synergies with its parent company, UMS Integration Limited, and capitalise on strong demand in the aviation and AI sectors. The Group remains optimistic about achieving long-term sustainable growth amidst global market pressures.
