ESR Group plunges into US$57.9m loss in H1 

The group attributed the loss to non-cash adjustments.

ESR Group dived in the red in H1 2024, recording a US$57.9m loss.

The H1 result is a reversal from its adjusted PATMI of US$303.8m in H1 2023. In the same period, the group also suffered a 31.4% YoY decrease in revenue, dropping to US$312.5m, due to a 37.0% YoY lower management fee of US$253.7m.

In a bourse filing, the asset manager attributed its loss to “non-cash adjustments and write-down tied to non-core divestments or near-term divestments, negative fair value movements and absence of promote fees.”

The group, however, underscored that these factors are "reflective of current market conditions, including the prolonged high interest rate environment, muted capital partner transaction activity, and continued macroeconomic softness in China."

The group also assured shareholders that its "underlying business remains healthy."

"The board is confident in the group’s ongoing strategic direction and core operating earnings," ESR Group said.

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.
