CapitaMalls Asia's earnings pegged to hit a whopping $44m

Thanks to robust mall performances.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, they expect CMA to report a 1Q13 PATMI of ~SGD44m (+12% QoQ; 22% YoY) on 24 April. The improvement will be mainly on the back of full-quarter contribution from the malls completed last year and positive rental reversion.

Operating metrics of malls remain healthy. CMA’s REITs account for close to half of its core PATMI and judging from their respective 1Q13 results, the retail scene in CMA’s key markets appear healthy.

Here's more Maybank Kim Eng:

More specifically, in Singapore, CapitaMall Trust’s shopper traffic and tenants’ sales grew by 4.3% and 2.4% YoY respectively.

In China, CRCT’s shopper traffic and tenants’ sales rose by 10.8% and 11.1% respectively. We would expect to see similar operating metrics from the rest of CMA’s portfolio, which will help to underpin future rental reversion.

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.
