Raffles Med's profit down 20.3% to $68m in FY14

Due to a one-off gain in 2013.

Raffles Medical today reported that its net profit dropped to $68m in FY14, down 20.3% from $85.3m in 2013.

Excluding a one-off gain of S$20.4m from the disposal of a subsidiary in FY13 as well as adjustments in fair value of investment properties, the group attained a 6.5% increase in net profit to $65m.

Raffles Medical cautioned that competition in the healthcare sector is likely to remain keen with new hospitals being developed in Singapore and the region, while the more measured pace of economic growth in China and Singapore may have a dampening effect on healthcare demand.

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.
