FY16 was a record year for BIL in terms of bothRevenueandProfit.Revenuewasup35%fromFY15andmorethandoubletheannualrevenuerecorded3yearsago.FY16NetProfitafterTaxwasup36%onourbestpreviousresultrecordedwaybackin2006.

The successful year was attributed to favorablemarket conditions, major capital injection intoimproving production capacity & capabilityapproved by the Board, and an exceptionalperformance by our management team &employeesduringtheyear.

Activity in the local building & constructionindustry is currently at an all-time high since thelastpeakin2006,themajordriverbeingsubstantialcapital investment by Government into Roads& Infrastructure over the last 3 years. However,capitalizingonthefavorablemarketconditionshasnot been straight forwardbecause of a significantnumberofnewcompetitors thathaveenteredthemarket, especially from overseas. While this hasreduced our traditionalmarket share over the lastfew years, BIL has managed to maintain a steadygrowth in its business through focusing on thehigh-quality-high-value end of themarket as wellasventuringintonewmarketse.g.exports.InFY16,BILpostedarecord$15millionrevenueinexportofits locally manufactured construction materials toneighboringPacificIslandcountries.ThebulkofthisexportswenttotheMajorRoadUpgradingprojectin Kiribati and the upgrading of the Tarawa andFunafutiAirportRunwayProjects.

In FY16 BIL injected around $7million in capitalinvestments into replacement of old plant &equipment, increasing production capacity andestablishingnewproducts&services.Similarlevelsof capital investments are planned for FY17. Thisis a keycomponentof thecompany’s survival andgrowth in the long termandweacknowledgeourBoard ofDirectors for their strong confidence andgreatvisionforthebusiness.

Without the exceptional effort and sacrifice of theBIL Management Team and all of its employees,the 30% above budget performance recordedin FY16 would not have been possible. Our 300plusmember strong, fully local teamhave provenits capabilities in performing at the highest levelcompeting against international companies bothlocallyandinthePacific.

BIL’s forecast for FY17 is budgeted around a 10%growth from FY16, anticipating a continuingbuoyant local building and construction industrybutatthesametimemindfulofapossiblesaturationpointatanytimesoon.
