CapitaMalls Asia clarifies online article on PATMI increase

It's referring to PATMI gain in 2013 vs 2012.

According to a release, CapitaMalls Asia refers to the Business Times article “CMA Q4 profit drops 10% on lower fair-value gains” on 8 February 2013. 

CMA’s Chief Executive Officer was quoted as saying “Our core PATMI (profit after tax and minority interests) should increase 30-40 per cent this year from 2011”.

CMA clarifies that this was a reference to an increase in profit after tax and minority interests (excluding revaluation/impairment and portfolio gain) in 2013
compared to 2012.

This assumes profit is recognised from the expected construction progress of Bedok Residences, and that CMA’s 2012 acquisitions in Japan, its newly opened malls in China and Singapore, and its other operating malls continue to perform well given their leasing and earnings visibility, barring unforeseen circumstances.

Details of such activities can be found in CMA’s previous announcements.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
