Yanlord's profit down 5% to $664.88m in 2019

Pre-tax profit decline was blamed on decrease in gross profit and increase in finance cost.

Yanlord Land Group (Yanlord) saw its net attributable profit dip 5% YoY to $664.88m (RMB3.35b) in FY2019 from $702.64m (RMB3.54b) in 2018, an SGX filing revealed. Similarly, revenue crashed 25% YoY to $3.72b (RMB18.67b) from $4.96b (RMB24.89b) over the same period.

The revenue decline was blamed on decrease in gross floor area (GFA) delivered to customers in FY2019, in line with the Group’s delivery schedule. Revenue was mainly generated from Riverbay Gardens (Phase 1) and Riverbay Gardens (Phase 2) in Suzhou; Yanlord on the Park in Shanghai; and Yanlord Riverbay (Phase 3) in Chengdu, which represented 24.4%, 19.6%, 12.8% and 11.1% of the group's gross revenue on sales of properties.

Pre-tax profit also dropped 16.6% YoY to $1.75b (RMB8.8b) in FY2019, mainly due to the decrease in gross profit and increase in finance cost, partly offset by the gain on bargain purchase arising from the acquisition of UEL and increase in fair value gain on investment properties.

Dividend was declared at 0.068 cents (RMB0.3431).

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.
