Venture Corporation Limited reported net profit of S$227.0 million for the year ended 31 Dec 2025, down 7.4 per cent year-on-year, as softer sales in its Lifestyle Consumer segment outweighed gains elsewhere. The company said tight cost management helped keep its net margin steady at 9.0 per cent despite lower revenue.

Earnings per share slipped 6.8 per cent to 78.7 Singapore cents. The board proposed a final dividend of 50 cents a share, to be paid on 19 May 2026 subject to shareholder approval at the April annual meeting. Including an interim payout of 25 cents and a special dividend of 5 cents distributed in September 2025, total FY2025 dividends will rise 6.7 per cent year-on-year to 80 cents a share.

Group revenue fell 7.4 per cent to S$2.5345 billion, mainly due to a decline in the Lifestyle Consumer technology domain after Venture’s design enhancements extended product lifecycles and reduced replacement volumes. In contrast, the Test & Measurement Instrumentation and Networking & Communications domains posted sequential improvement; fourth-quarter sales climbed 2.9 per cent from the previous quarter to S$645.4 million, lifting quarterly net profit 5.1 per cent to S$58.4 million.

Venture closed the year with S$1.2836 billion in net cash and no debt, after generating S$279.0 million in operating cash flow before working-capital changes and completing share buybacks alongside dividend payments. Net asset value stood at S$9.71 per share as at 31 Dec 2025.

Looking ahead to 2026, management highlighted continued demand from hyperscale data-centre customers across its Networking & Communications, Test & Measurement Instrumentation and Semiconductor Related Equipment businesses. The group is also expanding co-development of next-generation products in the Lifestyle Consumer segment and reinforcing partnerships in life-science equipment. Venture said it will keep strengthening technology capabilities and supply-chain resilience to support long-term growth amid uncertain geopolitical conditions.
