PropNex's Q3 net profit balloons 9.3%

However, revenue dropped 3.3% due to lower agency commission income.

PropNex recorded a 9.3% hike in net profit in Q3 to $7.2m from $6.6m a year ago, propped up by strong demand in both private residential and public housing segments.

The group saw a 24.6% YoY growth in topline to $360m and a 78.7% YoY growth in NPAT to $23.2 million over the same comparative period.

A decline in commission income from agency services due to the circuit breaker led to a 3.3% drop in revenue to $118.5m in the same period, but was partially offset by a hike in commission income from project marketing services due to a higher number of completed transactions.

The group’s balance sheet remained robust with cash and cash equivalents of $94.8m as of 30 September 2020, compared to $81.6m as of 31 December 2019.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
