UOL headed for a strong second half as stellar Botanique sales kick in

FY15 earnings will be 2H loaded.

UOL Group reported a double-digit profit decline in the first quarter, but analysts note that the group is headed for a strong second half on back of robust sales at its Botanique@Bartley residential development.

Lock Mun Yee and Tan Xuan of CIMB noted that UOL's dismal Q1 results can be attributed to a high base in the comparable period last year, which saw a net gain from the sale of a land parcel in Malaysia.

"We expect UOL’s FY15 earnings to be 2H loaded, with profits from the recent launch of Botanique@Bartley materialising then. An estimated 38% of project have been taken up at an average ASP of S$1,290 per sq ft. Meanwhile, ongoing projects such as Seventy St Patricks (86% sold) and Riverbank@Fernvale (55%
sold) continued to be progressively taken up," they stated.

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.
