Noble's profit crashed a whopping 70% to US$22.9m

But they say there's a catch.

According to OCBC, Noble Group (Noble) reported its 3Q13 results last evening, with revenue rising 13% YoY to US$25,595m, buoyed by revenue growth from all three business segments.

Although reported net profit slipped 70% to US$22.9m, Noble noted that core earnings would have come in around US$113.0m if the non-cash charge of US$103m from its share of Yancoal's loss was excluded.

"9M13 revenue of US$73,524m met 74% of our full-year forecast; core earnings of US$194.1m would have met around 64% of our FY13 estimate," OCBC said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
