Excluding FX translation effects, 3QFY10 revenue and net profit would have risen by 14% and 26% respectively.

Some interesting points

4Q should be stronger with more recognition from more projects;

Contract wins should be stronger underpinned by gas projects in UAE, Australia and healthcare projects in the UK

Dividend per share for FY10 should be around 4.0-4.5 SGD cts, (in view of the stronger earnings, better earnings visibility, lower gearing), translating to a dividend yield of 3.6% – 4.0%. If CSE distributes 4.0-4.5SGD cts, it will be 14% – 29% higher than the dividend distributed in FY09.
