Due to massive impairments.

Due to massive impairments.Beleaguered Noble Group reported that its net profit crashed 66% to $328.2m (US$438m) in FY14, on back of massive impairments and losses from Territory Resources.

The group has taken impairments, write-offs and provisions amounting to a total of $594.4m (US$438m), in addition to the $126.3m(US$93m) in losses from Territory Resources.

“Most notable is the US$200 million impairment taken on Yancoal. These charges more than extinguished the upward adjustment to the carrying value of our remaining interest in Noble Agri, reflecting the cash sale, and the negative goodwill on Jamalco,” Noble stated.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
