See why Raffles Education's net profit tumbled 70% to S$3.7m

Other operating income decline largely to blame.

Asia-Pacific region's largest private education provider Raffles Education Corporation Limited (RafflesEducationCorp) has announced a revenue of S$63.4 million and a net profit of S$3.7 million respectively for its first half FY2014, ended 31 December 2013.

Revenue for 1HFY2014 decreased 4% from S$65.9 million in the same period a year ago to S$63.4 million due mainly to a decrease in student numbers resulting from the closure of colleges as part of rationalisation.

The Group recorded other operating income of S$13.9 million in 1HFY2014, compared to S$21.7 million a year ago. 1HFY2014 net profit was S$3.7 million as the Group’s expansion and rationalisation bring positive outcomes.

Chew Hua Seng, Chairman and CEO of RafflesEducationCorp, said, “The last five years have brought about a major transformation in the Group. We are now a more mature company on a solid footing, with good assets backing.”

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.
