OUE's net profit plunged 91.8% to $77.2m in Q1

Blame it on one-off gains last year.

Integrated property developer OUE Limited reported that its net profit crashed 91.8% year-on-year to $77.2m in the first quarter.

The group attributed the decline to the absence of one-off gains from the deconsolidation of OUE Hospitality Trust in the same period last year.

Revenue remained fairly flat at $108m in the quarter, as the group recognised higher contributions from Lippo Plaza, U.S. Bank Tower and OUE Twin Peaks.

On the hospitality front, the group;s revenue slipped 4.1% to $50.2m due to lower occupancy rates
achieved by its hotel properties.

Meanwhile, revenue from the investment property division edged down 3.2% to $42.5m in the absence of contribution from Mandarin Gallery, after the group pared its stake in OUE H-TRUST. This was mitigated by higher revenue recognised for Lippo Plaza and U.S. Bank Tower.

OUE’s sole residential project, OUE Twin Peaks, obtained its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) in February 2015 and contributed $13.4m during the quarter.

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.
