Wheelock hit with $103m loss in Q4

Due to significant write-downs.

Wheelock Properties reported a loss of $103.14m in the fourth quarter, 13% higher than the $91.3m loss that it booked in the same quarter last year.

The loss was due to significant write-downs for the Scotts Square retail mall and the Fuyang residential project, which totalled to $126m.

“Scotts Square Retail was revalued from $312 million to $260 million with a fair value loss of $52 million. Scotts Square is operating under very challenging circumstances as a boutique mall. A substantial tenant and trade mix revamp is underway for the mall and downward revision of rental revenue is expected for the initial years,” Wheelock stated.

For the full year, Wheelock recorded a profit of $43m, higher than the $40m it booked in FY13.

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.
