Singapore Land's core PATMI down 17% to $49.6m in 1Q13

Blame it on The Trizon.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, SingLand reported a 1Q13 core PATMI of SGD49.6m (-11% YoY, -17% QoQ), due mainly to lower contribution from The Trizon and in line with expectations.

The recent announcement of the proposed new retail wing to be built at Marina Square will help to make the mall more relevant and enhance shareholders’ value.

Here's more from Maybank Kim Eng:

Rental income takes a dip. Despite a marginal improvement in 4Q12, SingLand’s gross rental income took a 4% QoQ dip to SGD57.8m in 1Q13 amid the competitive office leasing landscape.

Further downside pressure is likely as SingLand may have to moderate asking rents in order to retain tenants. Gross profit from hotel operations also softened by -12% QoQ to SGD5.5m due to higher costs, despite the Pan Pacific Singapore having undergone a major refurbishment last year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
