OUE bounces back into the black with $1.1b profit in FY14

Thanks the divestment of Mandarin Orchard and Mandarin Gallery.

OUE Limited closed FY14 with a net profit of $1.1 billion, reversing a net loss of S$36.6 million in the previous financial year.

The net profit resulted mainly from unlocking the values of Mandarin Orchard Singapore and Mandarin Gallery upon their disposal to OUE Hospitality Trust and the fair value gains on OUE Bayfront, Lippo Plaza and U.S. Bank Tower.

Revenue from business and operations remained stable at $416.4 million, down marginally by 4.6% from the previous year. This was because of the absence of revenue from the China hotels which were divested in September 2013.

Earnings before interest and tax rose 17.9% from $157 million to $185.1 million in FY14. The increase arises from positive contributions of its various business segments and the Group’s share of fair value gain on investment properties in its associates.

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.
