CDL profits fall 8.3% to $156.1m in Q3

Blame lower contributions from its property development segment.

City Developments Limited (CDL) profits slipped 8.3% YoY to $156.1m in Q3.

According to OCBC Investment Research, this was mainly due to the fact that divestment gains recognised last year were higher.

Quarterly revenue fell 6.5% YoY to $863.1m as contributions from the property development segment fell.

Here's more from OCBC Investment Research:

The group reported a strong uptake for its launched residential projects in Singapore and, for YTD Sep 2017, CDL and its joint venture associates sold 1,056 residential units in Singapore, more than double the units sold and triple the total sales value during the same period last year.

In addition, management also highlighted that the economy in Singapore is recovering and sees brighter prospects for the domestic property market.

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.
