Hong Leong Finance net profit rises 12.9% in H1 2024

Earnings per share stood at $0.2345.

Hong Leong Finance reported a 12.9% increase in net profit, rising to $52.6m in H1 2024 from $46.6m a year ago, due to higher net interest income and an expanded net interest margin of 1.6%.

Total operating expenses for the period rose 5.6% to $55.7m, mainly due to higher staff costs from salary increases and investments in regulatory compliance and risk management, partially offset by a decline in other operating expenses from tightened cost control.

Earnings per share stood at $0.2345, up from $0.2078 in H1 2023.

The company declared an interim dividend of $0.0375 per share, to be paid on 5 September.

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.
