GuocoLand's Q2 profits plummeted 84% to $10.85m

It was hit by lower sales of completed condo units.

GuocoLand suffered from an 84% YoY decrease in its Q2 profits to $10.85m from $66m in the same period a year ago, an announcement revealed. The firm’s revenue also crashed 61% to $142.95m from $370.56m a year ago.

According to GuocoLand, the lower revenue was dragged by the higher progressive revenue recognition in Q1 as Sims Urban Oasis obtained its Temporary Occupation Permit in 2017.
