Q&M Dental H1 profit tumbles 60% to S$3.9 million
It declares an interim cash dividend of S$0.004 per share for the period, unchanged from the year before
[SINGAPORE] Q&M Dental’s net profit fell 60 per cent to S$3.9 million for its first half ended Jun 30, 2025, from S$9.7 million in the year-ago period.
This translated to an earnings per share of S$0.0041, compared with S$0.0102 in H1 2024.
Ng Chin Siau, group chief executive of Q&M Dental, noted that the company faced “significant challenges” due to economic headwinds in H1 2025.
Revenue for the six months stood at S$88.4 million, compared with S$88.8 million in the year-ago period. This came amid a 74 per cent decline in revenue for its other businesses segment, although revenue for its core dental business rose 4 per cent on the year.
The group declared an interim cash dividend of S$0.004 per ordinary share for the period, unchanged from the prior corresponding period. The dividend will be paid on Sep 4 after book closure on Aug 22.
The group said that it is exploring opportunities to expand its dental business beyond Singapore, particularly in the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone with the upcoming Rapid Transit System (RTS).
“The company is considering various strategies to mitigate the potential outflow of patients to Johor, who may seek to capitalise on the financial advantages of the currency exchange rate once the RTS becomes operational around December 2026,” Q&M Dental said.
Shares of Q&M Dental closed on Wednesday 2.4 per cent or S$0.01 higher at S$0.43.
