Tan Chong predicts a lower profit of $453m for H1 2024

In H1 2023, Tan Chong reported a $309m gain.

Tan Chong International expects to record an unaudited unrealised gain of $453m (HK$262m) in H1 2024, significantly lower than the $534m (HK$309m) reported in the same period a year ago.

The company attributed the expected lower profit to a significant drop in sales, notably in Complete KnockDown (CKD) markets in Malaysia and Thailand and Complete Built-Up (CBU) markets in Taiwan, Singapore, and the Philippines.

The company also expects total profit from operations to drop from $746m (HK$432m) to $432 (HK$250m) whilst profit after tax to decline from $323m (HK$187m) to $43m (HK$25m).

Still, Tan Chong International expects a much better performance in H2 2024, considering strong order bookings in its automotive division.

The company is preparing its consolidated interim results for the period, including other comprehensive income items, expected to be published by the end of August.

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.
