Guocoleisure ends Q3 in the black for the first time in three years

Thanks to better cost management.

Guocoleisure reported a net profit of $5.9m (US$4.4m) in Q3, its first third-quarter profit in three years.

The improvement was driven by better cost management across its hotel portfolio and lower interest costs.

These were partially offset by a decline in oil and agas royalty from the Bass Straits and an unfavourable FX translation due to the depreciation of the British pound against the greenback.

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.
