Primech Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: PMEC), an established technology-driven facilities services provider in both the public and private sectors primarily operating in Singapore, has announced its financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. The company has reported a increase in its revenue and has provided optimistic guidance for future contracted revenues.
Financial Performance Overview
For the fiscal year 2024, Primech Holdings reported total revenues of approximately $72.5 million, up from $69.0 million in fiscal year 2023. This represents an increase of approximately 5.1%. Driven by both new and existing customers, particularly those affiliated with the Singaporean government. Here’s the revenue breakdown
Facilities Services: The bulk of Primech’s revenue came from its facilities services segment, which saw a minor increase from $55.8 million in FY 2023 to $56.0 million in FY 2024. A contributor to this increase was the commencement of services for the airside of Singapore Changi Airport starting November 1, 2023.
Stewarding Services: Revenue from stewarding services rose notably from $7.6 million in FY 2023 to $10.2 million in FY 2024. This increase can be attributed to the lifting of COVID-19 travel restrictions by the Singapore government in April 2022, leading to a recovery in the hospitality industry and a subsequent surge in demand for stewarding services.
Cleaning Services to Offices: This segment also saw growth, with revenues increasing from $4.9 million in FY 2023 to $5.8 million in FY 2024. Similar to stewarding services, this rise is linked to the general economic recovery post-pandemic.
Despite the increase in revenue, Primech Holdings also experienced an uptick in its direct costs and expenses, which rose from $58.4 million in FY 2023 to $59.9 million in FY 2024, marking a 2.6% increase. Labor costs have been a component of these expenses, contributing approximately 85.4% in FY 2024 compared to 84.2% in FY 2023. The labor costs amounted to $51.2 million in FY 2024, up from $49.2 million in the previous fiscal year, with employee benefit expenses, particularly salaries, being the major driver.
The company also benefited from government grants, which helped offset some of these costs. In FY 2024, approximately $2.6 million in Singapore government grants were netted against direct costs and expenses, down from $4.2 million in FY 2023.
Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses also saw an increase, rising from $12.3 million in FY 2023 to $13.2 million in FY 2024, representing an approximate increase of 7.0%. Government grants of approximately $0.1 million in FY 2024 and $0.2 million in FY 2023 were set off against these expenses. Despite the revenue growth, Primech Holdings reported a net loss of $3.2 million for FY 2024, compared to a net loss of $2.5 million for FY 2023. This increase in net loss can be attributed to the rise in operational costs outpacing the revenue growth. One of the most promising aspects of Primech Holdings' report is its future contracted revenues, which are anticipated to be approximately $144.4 million as of March 31, 2024.
A key factor driving Primech's optimistic future outlook is its investment in innovative technologies. The company's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kin Wai Ho, emphasized the importance of these investments, particularly highlighting the creation of the Primech AI operating subsidiary. This new venture has already generated substantial commercial interest, particularly for its fully autonomous AI-powered toilet-cleaning robot. The development of such advanced technologies is expected to provide competitive advantages and drive sustainable growth in the coming years. The company’s focus on expanding service offerings and developing new technologies aligns with its goal to drive long-term profitability. By continuously evolving its service portfolio and leveraging cutting-edge technologies, Primech aims to meet the growing demands of its diverse clientele across the public and private sectors.
Primech Holdings' financial results for FY 2024 reflect a period of robust growth and advancements. The increase in revenues and future contracted revenues demonstrate the company’s strong position in the facilities services market. Additionally, the investments in technology and expansion of service offerings indicate a forward-looking approach aimed at ensuring sustainable growth and profitability.
