Jardine Cycle & Carriage profit falls 22% in 2024

Revenue remained unchanged at $30.1b ($22.3b).

Jardine Cycle & Carriage (JC&C) reported a 22% decline in profit attributable to shareholders, falling to $1.28 b ($946m) in 2024.

The company’s full-year revenue remained unchanged at $30.1b ($22.3b).

Underlying profit fell 5% to $1.48b ($1.1b), mainly due to foreign exchange differences. Without currency translation impacts, it would have risen 3%.

Corporate costs rose from $70.1m ($52m) to $111.9m ($83m), following a swing from a $29.7m ($22m) foreign exchange gain in 2023 to a $22.9m ($17m) loss in 2024. Lower corporate net debt helped offset some of the increase, reducing financing charges by $10.8m ($8m).

JC&C cut its consolidated net debt—excluding Astra’s financial services subsidiaries—to $316.9m ($235m), down from $1.55b ($1.15b) in 2023. The Group’s corporate net debt dropped to $1.1b ($816m ), whilst Astra’s financial services net debt rose from $4.6b ($3.4b) to $5b ($3.7b).

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.
