Revenue for 4Q17 fell 8.2% to $84 million from $91.5 million in 4Q16 due to lower contributions from the food and beverage (F&B) division, which the group attributes to general market weakness, competitive pricing, and sales disruption in Cambodia resulting from Yeo Hiap Seng’s transition to new distributors.
SINGAPORE (Feb 23): Yeo Hiap Seng saw its earnings fall 25.6% to $7.7 million in 4Q17 from $10.3 million in 4Q16 on lower revenue.
