Guocoland Limited's half-year profit balloons to $208.53m

This was boosted by its revenue, which went up by 69% YoY to $732.54m in 2H2017.

Guocoland Limited reported its profit attributable to equity holders surged by 152% YoY, rising from $82.77m to $208.53m for the half year ended 2017.

Guocoland’s revenue increased 69% YoY, from $434.74m in 2H2016 to $732.54m in 2H2017, which was driven by the strong performance of Singapore’s residential projects. Gross profit also increased by 68% YoY to $151.8m.

Further, Guocoland’s share of profit of associates and joint ventures rose to $179.5m in 2H2017. This was mainly due to the contribution from Changfeng Residence, a joint venture project in Shanghai that has been substantially sold and completed.

Movements in foreign exchange caused other income to decline by $26.3m, whilst other expenses increased by $8.7m during the half-year, compared to the same period in the previous year.

Administrative expenses also increased by 65% YoY to $46.6m in 2H2017 because of higher sales activities and commencement of new hotels, whilst finance costs went up by $28.6m to $55.1m because of higher average borrowings and lower capitalisation.

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.
