OUE H1 profits plummeted 64.9% to $6.35m

It missed contributions from its development property division.

OUE’s profits for the first half of 2018 crashed 64.9% to $6.35m from $18.12m last year. Revenue also fell by 22.8% to $296.29m from $383.61m last year.

According to its financial statement, the decrease is mainly due to the absence of the contribution from the development property division.

Revenue from investment properties division grew to $69.8m mainly due to rental income from Downtown Gallery, which opened in May 2017.

Revenue from the hospitality division jumped to $54m mainly due to contribution from full quarter contribution from Oakwood Premier OUE Singapore, the serviced apartments at OUE Downtown, which opened in June 2017.

There was no contribution from the development property division in the current quarter as there was no completion of sale of units.

“The revenue relating to the units sold under deferred payment schemes are deferred until completion of the sale of the unit although non-refundable deposits were collected,” OUE added.

Revenue from OUE Lippo Healthcare fell mainly due to lower revenue recorded by operations in China. Contribution from the nursing facilities in Japan remain stable but reported revenue declined due to the weakening of the Japanese Yen.

For the second quarter, profits also fell 24.6% to $5.32m, whilst revenue dropped by 19.6% to $150.68m.

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.
