Singapore, 18 February 2016 – Hyflux Ltd (or the Group) reported profit after tax and
minority interests (PATMI) of S$41.3 million for the full year ended 31 December 2015,
28% decrease from S$57.5 million PATMI recorded in 2014. The lower PATMI was due
mainly to lower level of divestment activities in 2015 compared with 2014.
Group revenue increased by 39% to S$445.2 million in 2015, compared with S$321.4
million in 2014, contributed mainly by the Qurayyat Independent Water Project (IWP) in
the Sultanate of Oman. The municipal projects continued to be the main contributor of the
Group’s revenue, accounting for about 94% or S$419.1 million of the Group’s revenue.
Singapore and China continued to remain as Hyflux’s key markets in Asia, accounting for
more than half of the Group’s total revenue, contributing about 38% and 20% respectively.
Revenue contributions from the Middle East and North Africa region rose to 39% or
S$176.0 million from 7% in 2014, due to contributions from the Qurayyat IWP and a
containerised desalination system project to augment the existing Yanbu Desalination
Plant in Saudi Arabia.
The Group’s cash position was S$313.7 million and the net gearing ratio at 0.85 times as
at 31 December 2015.
The Board of Directors has proposed a
final dividend of 1.00 Singapore cent per ordinary
share. Together with an
interim dividend of 0.70 Singapore cents per ordinary share paid
in August 2015, this brings the total dividend for the year to 1.70 Singapore cents per
ordinary share.

Outlook for the year
The 411 MW combined cycle gas turbine power plant co-located with Tuaspring
desalination plant has been connected to the national power grid since August 2015.
The
Group has started selling electricity to the grid. In the near term, the electricity market in
Singapore is expected to be challenging due to the current market landscape.
Revenue contribution from MENA is expected to increase with the on-going construction
of the Qurayyat IWP in Oman and the new desalination projects in Saudi Arabia.
