UOL's Q2 net profit sinks 28% to $152.5m, dragged by lower fair value gains

Gains on investment properties crashed 56%.

Depressed fair value gains on investment properties dragged UOL’s net profit by 28% to $152.5m in the second quarter.

Although revenue from local projects boosted earnings, fair value gains on investment properties crashed by 56% on back of the lacklustre property market.

UOL’s revenue rose 60% to $342.2m in Q2 due mainly to progressive recognition of revenue from the sales of its development projects

The group’s expenses also jumped 17% to $66.3m, on back of higher marketing and distribution expenses due to the sales launch of Botanique at Bartley in April 2015, the ongoing sales of Seventy Saint Patrick’s, as well as expenses for OneKM and Pan Pacific Tianjin, which both opened in the fourth quarter.

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.
