Capitaland's net profit dipped 1.7% to $183m

Here's the main culprit.

According to OSK-DMG, Capitaland reported a weak set of 1Q14 results, with revenues of $613mil (-3.4% YoY) contributing to net profit of $183mil (-1.7% YoY), accounting for only 18% of consensus full year forecasts at $1bn.

Here's more:

CL Singapore (44% of assets) was the key drag with revenues down -37% YoY (project completions and slow residential sales) and EBIT of $186mil (-17% YoY). Encouraging to see CL China (38% of assets) grew its revenues +56% YoY (driven by deliveries) and EBIT of $165mil (+19% YoY).

Capitaland’s ongoing privatisation of subsidiary CMA likely to be completed by mid-June. Stock is currently trading at 0.85x NAV and recent run up in share price may provide opportunities for profit-taking.

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.
