Neo Group, the events food caterer, reported earnings soared four times to $2.8 million for the six months ended July 31 from a year ago (1H2014).

The rise in earnings come as revenue rose 23.2% to $23.1 million, mainly due to contributions from its food catering business.

Revenue from this segment grew by 28% to $17.2 million from $13.4 million in 1H2013, as a result of a higher volume of events in the social, corporate and government sectors.

The group’s food retail business also did well in 1H2014, recording an 11% increase in revenue to $5.9 million.

Based on its latest set of results, Earnings per Share (EPS) of the group improved to 1.92 cents in 1H2014, from 1.39 cents in 1H2013.
