Financial highlights Cash and cash equivalents As of 30 June 2018, VICOM had S$97.9 million in cash and cash equivalents with no debt. In comparison, as of the end of 2017, it had S$107.5 million in cash and cash equivalents with zero borrowings. The fall in cash balance was primarily due to higher payment of dividend, which was offset by profits generated from operations. www.mmfsolutions.sg
Financial highlights Operating cash flow Operating cash flow for the reporting quarter fell by 13.6%, from S$6.0 million to S$5.2 million, mainly due to negative working capital changes. With capital expenditure increasing from S$746,000 to S$780,000, VICOM’s free cash flow fell from S$5.2 million to S$4.4 million. www.mmfsolutions.sg
Financial highlights Interim dividend An interim dividend of 13.46 cents per share was declared, a 2.6% increase from 13.12 cents dished out last year. The latest dividend payout, which is more than the free cash flow per share for the quarter, could suggest that VICOM does not see the need for the extra cash on its balance sheet. www.mmfsolutions.sg
