Far East Orchard’s profit attributable to equity holders rises 2.1% YoY to $8.2m in 1H23

The company attributed its improved earnings to strong tourism growth.

Far East Orchard recorded a 2.1% YoY higher profit attributable to equity holders of $82.m  in 1H23.

In a bourse filing, the company attributed its improved earnings to the strong recovery in corporate and leisure travel.

The strong tourism growth also lifted the company’s revenue by 42.7% YoY to $90.9m, and its operating profit by 12.0% YoY to $28m.

Despite the higher operating profit, the company recorded a 13.6% YoY drop in its profit after income tax ($7.6m).

“In 1H FY23, the Group recognised an impairment loss of S$3.4 million on its mixed-used development in the UK due to the slowdown of the UK housing market caused by the rising interest environment. The rising interest cost also impacted the Group’s results,” the company said.

“The results would have been stronger if not for the one-off gains, including the derecognition of lease liabilities recognised in 1H FY22,” the company added.

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.
