UOL's net profit dropped 39% to $74.2m in Q1

Due to a one-off gain last year.

UOL's reported net profit dropped 39% year-on-year to $74.2m in the first quarter, on back of a one-off gain from the sale of land at Jalan Conlay in Malaysia in the same period last year.

Excluding this gain, UOL's net profit slipped by 3%. Although core revenue registered growth, the group was impacted by unrealised currency exchange losses recognised in the first quarter from its borrowings in US dollars to fund its investments in China.

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.
