This came on the back of a 10.3% y-o-y growth in revenue to $87.6 million from $79.4 million a year ago, mainly due to an increase in the revenue from the distribution business segment.

Revenue from the distribution business segment increased by 10.4% y-o-y to $87.1 million, mainly due to the strong demand from the group’s customers and upward adjustment of selling prices for certain electrical products and accessories in FY2022.

Rental income from the group’s property investment segment increased by 4.2% y-o-y to $520,000, as all properties were fully leased out in FY2022 and FY2021.

With cost of sales increasing 11.6% y-o-y to $62.3 million, gross profit came in at $25.3 million, some 7.4% higher than $23.6 million in the same period last year.

As at end-December 2022, cash and cash equivalents stood at $23.3 million.
