Raffles Education reports net profit attributable to equity-holders of SGD26.7m

That's for the full year ended June 30.

According to OSK DMG, Raffles Education Corporation reported a net profit attributable to equity-holders of SGD26.7m for the full year ended June 30, against a net loss of $66.3 million the preceding financial year. 

Here's more from OSK DMG:

Revenue was at SGD128.4m, 2% lower as compared to SGD131.1m a year before. The turnaround was attributable to a SGD41.7m fair-value gain on investment properties, against a fair-value loss of SGD6.3 million the year before.

This includes a SGD1.4m gain from Raffles Education Square at 51 Merchant Road before the property became owner-occupied.

The company moved its headquarters there in April this year. Also helping was a 47% reduction in finance costs to SGD8.5 million.

While "other operating income" was 47% at SGD67.2m, impairment of goodwill was just SGD240,000 against the preceding year's SGD51.6m

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
