GuocoLand's net profit crashed 77% to $11.3m in Q3

Earnings dropped sharply as big-ticket sales vanished.

The absence of proceeds from an en-bloc property sale caused GuocoLand's net profit to drop 77% year-on-year to $11.3 million in the third quarter.

The group's earnings fell by 49% to $166 million during the period, mainly because revenue in the same period last year was boosted by the en-bloc sale of serviced apartments in Shanghai Guoson Centre.

Net profit rose to $600.8m for the nine-month period, a five-fold increase compared to the previous corresponding period. The increase was mainly on back of a $583.2 million gain from a sale of the group's subsidiaries.

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.
