Wing Tai braces for up to $236.7m loss in H1

Impairment provisions and change in property values totalled over HK$1b.

Wing Tai Properties Limited may report a loss attributable to shareholders of between HK$1.3b to HK$1.4b (S$219.8m to S$236.7m) for the first six months of 2024.

This is over three times the loss reported for H1 2023, at HK$374.2m, based on data from Wing Tai Properties' SGX filing.

Total adverse change in the value of its properties and its impairment provisions for properties under development amounted to over HK$1b (approximately S$169m) in H1 2024.

In comparison, adverse change in the fair value of its properties was only HK$480m for H1 2023, and the group did not make an impairment provision during that period.

Wing Tai Properties does not expect that change in value and impairment provision to have an impact on its operating cash flow as they are “non-cash items.”

“The overall financial, business and trading positions of the Group remain healthy,” Wing Tai Properties said in a bourse filing.

It is in the process of finalizing the consolidated interim results of the Group for the six months ended 30 June, and expects to publish it on around 26 August 2024.

(S$1 = HK$5.91; as of 15 August 2024, 10:54AM)

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.
