The company said first-half net income grew 5.8 percent to P308.56 million.
Based on its financial statement, EEI’s revenues grew at a slower pace to P1.64 billion, from 1.69 billion the second quarter of 2009. First-half revenues likewise declined 5.71 percent to P3.12 billion from its year-ago level as the service income fell almost 53 percent.
Construction contracts, which accounted for 75 percent of revenues during the first semester, rose 19 percent to P2.35 billion. Costs were also contained as service revenues dropped EEI said.
EEI said it remains “confident” on its year-end targets. “The company continues to pursue new prospects for both local and foreign-based projects as there appears to be renewed opportunities in mining, power, and other industrial construction,” EEI said. The company expects growth will continue to come from projects in the Middle East.
During the first semester, the company won contracts for an additional project in Naia Expressway and its related road project, package 4C Phase I for Department of Public Works and Highways and the construction of the RCBC Savings Bank and Corporate Center in Fort Bonifacio.
It was also awarded the contract to build the Sun Residences of SM Development Corp. in Quezon City, the construction of the Phoenix Semiconductor Plant in Clark, Pampanga, and the atmospheric storage facilities for Petron Corp.
