On Feb 22, Pan-United reported revenue of $586.9 million for FY2021 ended Dec 31, 2021, up 45% from $405 million in FY2020. This was in line with a pick-up in construction activities. During the year, the company saw higher material costs but managed to cut down financial expenses because of better cash flows. As such, Pan-United saw earnings grow 17 times to FY2021’s $18.7 million from FY2020’s $1.04 million.
Pan-United Corp, which is a concrete manufacturer and is Singapore’s biggest producer of ready-mixed concrete, has been buying back shares steadily since it reported its FY2021 earnings late last month.
