CapitaMalls Asia's profits jumped 9.6% to S$73.2m

Driven mainly by Star Vista and Japan malls.

According to OCBC Investment Research, CMA’s 1Q13 PATMI came in at S$73.2m – up 9.6% YoY mostly due to contributions from Star Vista, four malls in Japan and Queensbay Mall, a S$6.6m gain from warehousing of two assets sold to CCDFII, better performance from CMT, ION Orchard and the China Funds, and a sale at The Orchard Residences.

Here's more:

Excluding one-time items, we judge 1Q13 results to be somewhat above expectations. 1Q core PATMI, estimated at S$64.6m, now constitutes 34% of our FY13 core PATMI forecast.

1Q13 topline came in at S$91.5m which increased 29.1% YoY due to contributions from Star Vista and four malls in Japan and higher management fee revenue from new malls and improved performances.

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.
