Rectitude Holdings (RECT) reported its fiscal 2025 first half financial results, showing mixed performance. Revenue increased 7.89% to S$22.1 million ($17.2 million), driven by S$5.6 million growth in safety equipment sales, partially offset by S$4.0 million decrease in auxiliary product revenues.

The company's gross profit slightly increased to S$7.7 million, while gross margin declined to 34.74% from 36.96% due to higher procurement costs. Net income decreased to S$1.1 million (S$0.08 per share) from S$2.1 million (S$0.17 per share) in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA declined to S$3.2 million from S$3.4 million.

Operating expenses increased with selling and marketing costs rising S$0.5 million to S$2.5 million due to new branch openings, while general and administrative expenses grew S$0.9 million to S$3.8 million, primarily due to IPO-related and ongoing public company costs.

Rectitude Holdings (RECT) ha riportato i risultati finanziari del primo semestre dell'anno fiscale 2025, mostrando performance miste. I ricavi sono aumentati del 7,89% a S$22,1 milioni (17,2 milioni di dollari), sostenuti da una crescita di S$5,6 milioni nelle vendite di attrezzature di sicurezza, parzialmente compensata da un calo di S$4,0 milioni nei ricavi dei prodotti ausiliari.

Il profitto lordo dell'azienda è leggermente aumentato a S$7,7 milioni, mentre il margine lordo è diminuito al 34,74% rispetto al 36,96% a causa di costi di approvvigionamento più elevati. L'utile netto è sceso a S$1,1 milioni (S$0,08 per azione) rispetto a S$2,1 milioni (S$0,17 per azione) nello stesso periodo dell'anno precedente. L'EBITDA rettificato è diminuito a S$3,2 milioni rispetto a S$3,4 milioni.

Le spese operative sono aumentate, con i costi di vendita e marketing in crescita di S$0,5 milioni a S$2,5 milioni a causa delle aperture di nuove filiali, mentre le spese generali e amministrative sono aumentate di S$0,9 milioni a S$3,8 milioni, principalmente a causa dei costi legati all'IPO e ai costi di una società pubblica in corso.

Rectitude Holdings (RECT) informó sobre los resultados financieros del primer semestre del año fiscal 2025, mostrando un desempeño mixto. Los ingresos aumentaron un 7.89% a S$22.1 millones (17.2 millones de dólares), impulsados por un crecimiento de S$5.6 millones en las ventas de equipos de seguridad, parcialmente compensado por una disminución de S$4.0 millones en los ingresos de productos auxiliares.

El beneficio bruto de la empresa aumentó ligeramente a S$7.7 millones, mientras que el margen bruto disminuyó al 34.74% desde el 36.96% debido a costos de adquisición más altos. La renta neta disminuyó a S$1.1 millones (S$0.08 por acción) desde S$2.1 millones (S$0.17 por acción) en el mismo período del año anterior. El EBITDA ajustado disminuyó a S$3.2 millones desde S$3.4 millones.

Los gastos operativos aumentaron, con los costos de ventas y marketing subiendo S$0.5 millones a S$2.5 millones debido a la apertura de nuevas sucursales, mientras que los gastos generales y administrativos crecieron S$0.9 millones a S$3.8 millones, principalmente debido a costos relacionados con la OPI y los costos de una empresa pública en curso.

Rectitude Holdings (RECT)는 2025 회계연도 상반기 재무 결과를 발표하며 혼합된 실적을 보였습니다. 매출은 7.89% 증가하여 S$22.1 백만(1,720만 달러)에 도달했으며, 이는 안전 장비 판매에서 S$5.6 백만의 성장을 이끌었으나 보조 제품 매출에서 S$4.0 백만 감소로 부분적으로 상쇄되었습니다.

회사의 총 이익은 S$7.7 백만으로 약간 증가했으나, 조달 비용 상승으로 인해 총 마진은 36.96%에서 34.74%로 감소했습니다. 순이익은 전년 동기 대비 S$1.1 백만(S$0.08 주당)으로 감소했으며, 전년 동기에는 S$2.1 백만(S$0.17 주당)이었습니다. 조정된 EBITDA는 S$3.2 백만에서 S$3.4 백만으로 감소했습니다.

운영 비용이 증가했으며, 판매 및 마케팅 비용이 S$0.5 백만 증가하여 S$2.5 백만에 도달한 것은 새로운 지점 개설 때문이며, 일반 및 관리 비용은 S$0.9 백만 증가하여 S$3.8 백만에 이르렀으며, 이는 주로 IPO 관련 비용 및 지속적인 상장 회사 비용 때문입니다.

Insights

Rectitude's H1 FY2025 results present a mixed financial picture that requires careful analysis beyond headline numbers. While revenue growth of 7.89% to S$22.1 million demonstrates market demand, the company's profitability metrics reveal significant challenges.

The halving of net income from S$2.1 million to S$1.1 million and EPS decline from S$0.17 to S$0.08 represent substantial deterioration in bottom-line performance. This profit compression stems from multiple factors:

  • Gross margin erosion from 36.96% to 34.74% due to higher procurement costs
  • Selling and marketing expenses increased 26.3% to S$2.5 million
  • G&A expenses surged 31% to S$3.8 million

The divergent performance between product lines is telling - safety equipment grew substantially while auxiliary products declined by S$4.0 million. This suggests potential market saturation or competitive pressure in the auxiliary segment that could limit future growth avenues.

While IPO-related expenses explain part of the cost increase, the ongoing branch expansion strategy creates a structural increase in the company's cost base that will require substantial revenue scaling to deliver improved profitability. The modest 5.9% EBITDA decline to S$3.2 million indicates the core business remains stable but lacks earnings momentum.

Management's forward-looking statements emphasize geographic expansion and new product development without addressing margin recovery strategies, suggesting continued prioritization of growth over profitability improvement in the near term.

Rectitude's product strategy shows both promise and challenges for their position in the safety equipment market. The S$5.6 million increase in safety equipment revenue indicates strong market traction in their core business, likely benefiting from increased construction activity in Singapore and Southeast Asia.

The company's pivot toward customizable products represents an important strategic shift that could create competitive differentiation but comes with margin implications as evidenced by increased procurement costs. This approach typically enhances customer loyalty and reduces commoditization pressure, but requires scale to optimize manufacturing efficiency.

The S$4.0 million decline in auxiliary product revenues signals potential product lifecycle issues that warrant attention. Often in this industry, auxiliary products provide higher margins than core safety equipment, making this decline potentially more impactful than the raw numbers suggest.

The expansion into Energy and Power Storage Products mentioned in the outlook represents a sensible adjacent market opportunity, as workplace safety in energy sectors typically commands premium pricing due to higher hazard profiles. However, the minimal R&D investment (S$0.05 million) raises questions about innovation capacity to drive this initiative.

Geographic expansion through new branches aligns with industry trends toward localized service and faster delivery capabilities but creates short-term cost pressure. The strategy depends on rapidly achieving sufficient volume in each new location to absorb the fixed operational costs.

The DADE brand initiative for auxiliary products appears to be struggling based on the revenue decline, suggesting possible positioning or pricing strategy issues that require reassessment.

SINGAPORE, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rectitude Holdings Ltd (the “Company” or “Rectitude”), a Singapore-based provider of safety equipment and related industrial-grade hardware products, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

  • Gross profit increased to S$7.7 million, from S$7.6 million in the prior year was primarily due to higher sales volumes and improved efficiencies, partially offset by pressures from increased procurement costs arising from customizable products made for customers and newly launched auxiliary products under the DADE brand.
  • Gross profit margin decreased to 34.74% of revenue, from 36.96% of revenue in the prior year as a result of the factors noted above.
  • Selling and marketing expenses in Singapore Dollars, increased by S$0.5 million to S$2.5 million, due to opening of new branches and their associated operating costs.

Revenues

For the fiscal first half ended September 30, 2024, total revenues were $17.2 million. In Singapore Dollars, revenues were S$22.1 million and S$20.5 for the respective fiscal first half’s ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The increase was primarily driven by stronger customer demand for safety equipment given the increased construction activity within the Company’s markets, partial offset by a decrease in auxiliary product revenues.

Cost of Revenues

For the fiscal first half ended September 30, 2024, cost of revenues was $11.2 million. In Singapore Dollars, for the fiscal first half ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, cost of revenues were S$14.4 million and S$12.9 million, respectively. The increase in cost of revenue was consistent with the increase of revenue during the year, however, procurement costs have increased, rising from customizable products made for customers and newly launched auxiliary products embodying the Company’s DADE brand.

Gross profit and Gross profit margin

Gross profit for the fiscal first half ended September 30, 2024, was $6.0 million, representing 34.74% of operating revenues. In Singapore Dollars, gross profit for the fiscal first half ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was S$7.7 million and $7.6 million, representing 34.74% and 36.96% of operating revenues, respectively. The increase in gross profit was mainly due to higher sales volumes. The decrease in gross profit margin is mainly due to higher sales volumes offset by pressures from the increase in procurement costs arising from customizable products made for customers and newly launched auxiliary products under the DADE brand.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses primarily included expenses related to advertising and marketing activities and associated costs of our retail branches, which included labor costs, sales commissions and operating lease expenses. For the fiscal first half ended September 30, 2024, selling and marketing expenses were $1.9 million. In Singapore Dollars, for the fiscal first half ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, selling and marketing expenses were S$2.5 million and S$1.9 million respectively. The increase was primarily due to increase in salaries arising from new hires employed to run newly opened branches. 

Research and development expenses

In Singapore Dollars, for the fiscal first half ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, research and development expenses were S$0.05 million and S$0.04 million respectively. The increase was primarily due to continued investment in new products and services to meet emerging customer demand.

General and administrative expenses

In Singapore Dollars, for the fiscal first half ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, general and administrative expenses were S$3.8million and S$2.9 million respectively. The increase was mainly due to increased public company costs, including professional fees and compliance costs incurred related to the Company’s listing on NASDAQ.

Net Income

As a result of the factors described above, net income for the fiscal first half ended September 30, 2024 was approximately $0.9 million.

For the fiscal first half ended September 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was $2.4 million. In Singapore dollars, Adjusted EBITDA decreased slightly to S$3.2 million, from S$3.4 million during the same period.
