Guocoland's Q2 earnings up three-fold to $32.4m

Higher sales from its premium residential property boosted the earnings.

Guocoland’s earnings rose three-fold in Q2, from $10.9m in the previous quarter to $32.4m, announced the company in its bourse filing. The jump in earnings was mainly attributed to the company’s revenue and gross profit, which had doubled to $299.6m, and $89.7m respectively, due to higher progressive recognition of sales from its prime residential asset, Martin Modern.

Share of profit of associates and joint ventures decreased from $8m in Q1 to Q2’s $1m due to lower share of profit from the Shanghai joint venture. The plunge is also accounted for by share of losses from the company’s joint venture in Singapore, incurring costs for a development project, which was launched on 11 January 2020.

Meanwhile, H1 revenue and gross profit of the company ending 31 December 2019, has increased by more than 80% to $572.1m and $178.6m, respectively compared to the same period in 2018. The jump remains accounted to the higher progressive recognition of sales brought by the Martin Modern asset. Consequently, profit attributable to equity holders of the Company doubled to $74.5m for H2, compared to the same period in 2018.

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.
