CapitaLand's profits slump 37.8% to $267.73m in Q4

Less completed and delivered units from Chinese projects dragged revenue down.

CapitaLand suffered headaches as its profits slumped 37.8% YoY from $430.53m to $267.73m in Q4. However, its whole-year profit jumped 30.3% YoY to $1.55b.

According to its financial statement, revenue in Q4 fell 34.6% to $1.21b mainly due to lower completion and handover of units from development projects in China. This was partially offset by higher contributions from development projects in Singapore and rental revenue from new properties.

Portfolio gains in Q4 also plunged by 86.4% from $47.8m to merely $6.5m after the sale of Keisha Limited shares.

Its markets in Singapore and China accounted for 74.5% of the whole revenue, slightly lower than 87.2% last year.

CapitaLand's earnings in Singapore grew by $103.4m mainly due to the consolidation of CapitaMall Trust (CMT) and RCS Trust (RCST). The move also caused rental income to grow.

Earnings in China dropped by $152.9m due to the lower handover of units for development projects and lower portfolio and fair value gains.

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.
