Contributions from Le Nouvel Ardmore added to the group’s $18m operating profit.

Wing Tai Holdings' profit attributable to its equity holders surged 79% YoY to $32.82m in H1 2019-20, the company announced. Over the same period, revenue declined 5% to $183.5m.

In Q2, revenue fell 10% YoY to $104.19m, whilst profit soared 61% to $25.97m.

The selling of additional units in Le Nouvel Ardmore in Singapore was attributed to the group’s revenue, whilst its contributions added to the group’s operating profit, which hit $18m.

Further, the share of profits from its associated and joint venture companies rose 12% to $35.8m in the first half of the year, largely due to the higher contribution from The Crest in Singapore and the additional units sold in Malaren Gardens in Shanghai.

The group’s net asset value per share as at 31 December 2019 hit $4.17, compared to $4.19 as at 30 June 2019. At the same time, its net gearing ratio was 0.13 times as compared to 0.12 times.

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.
