Hongkong Land's losses widen by 150% as revaluations hit earnings

Loss for the period was US$833m.

Hongkong Land widened its losses by 150% YoY to US$833m in H1 2024.

The Mainboard-listed company attributed the increase in losses to unrealised net non-cash losses, primarily stemming from revaluations of its Investment Properties portfolio, which accounted for US$826m in 2024 and US$755m in 2023. 

“The 2024 net revaluation loss is principally attributable to the Hong Kong office portfolio, following a modest decrease in market rents, partially offset by a valuation gain for the Hong Kong retail portfolio driven by expected rental uplifts resulting from the  LANDMARK investment,” the company explained.

“The valuation of the remainder of the Investment Properties portfolio was stable,” it added.

Despite widening its overall losses, the company reduced its underlying loss attributable to shareholders to US$7m and the underlying loss per share to US$0.3775 in H1. 

The underlying loss included a non-cash provision of US$295M related to its China Development Properties. 

Excluding the provision, the underlying profit attributable to shareholders was US$288m, marking a 32% YoY decrease.

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.
