Frasers Property profits expected to sink 70% for FY2020

The company announced significant impacts by COVID-19.

Frasers Property Limited announced that it has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic and is expecting major loss of profit for FY2020.

According to Frasers profit guidance, the expected loss is up to 60% to 70% from the $560.3m recorded in the financial year ended 30 September 2019.

Tenant support packages, international travel restrictions, decline in occupancies, and temporary closures of hospitality properties dealt a huge blow against them, the report said.

“While the Board considers it prudent to draw the attention of shareholders and potential investors of FPL to this information, the overall business and financial position of the Group remains healthy. The Group has been taking proactive actions to strengthen its financial position, including optimising cash flows and liquidity, reducing operational costs, and deferring uncommitted capital expenditure. FPL has sufficient liquidity to meet its operations and financial commitments and the Group continues to maintain a high level of business and financial discipline,” said Frasers.

Frasers’ Unaudited FY2020 financial results will be released before the start of trade on 11 November.

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.
