Excluding the effects of consolidation, property development revenue fell 7% due to the completion of Riverbank@Fernvale in March 2017. Meanwhile, revenue from hotel operations jumped 9% due to new revenue from Pan Pacific Melbourne which was acquired in end July 2017.

Revenue from property investments dipped 4% mainly due to lower revenue from OneKM mall.

"Improvements in the global economic outlook should benefit the Group’s hotels in the Asia Pacific though trading conditions for the Group’s hotels in Myanmar and China remain challenging," it added.
