CSE Global 544 has reported a revenue increase of 31.4% y-o-y to $185.4 million for its 3QFY2023 ended Sept 30, thanks to strong growth in its electrification business segment in the Americas and recent new acquisitions in its communications business segment.
The company topline was also supported by broad base growth in flow revenues across all geographical regions.
For the period, order intakes surged by 82.9% y-o-y to $301.6 million, compared to $164.9 million in 3QFY2022.
As at Sept 30, it had built up an order book of $638.0 million.
Lim Boon Kheng, the company's group managing director and CEO, believes that with this robust order book, coupled with a positive turnaround in the financial performance of the business in the Americas, CSE is well positioned to achieve a “much better” financial performance in 2023.
“The current global economic outlook and inflationary pressures continue to present uncertainties in the markets we operate. Despite this, we expect existing and new customers to continue to support and award us with a steady flow of small greenfield and brownfield maintenance projects," says Lim.

Together with the receipt of two major contracts totalling $150.6 million announced in October, Lim believes CSE is well-positioned to further strengthen its order book for the rest of 2023 and beyond. “We anticipate more order opportunities in the Infrastructure sector in the coming quarters and are on track to achieve a record $1 billion order win for this year,” he adds.
