The Hour Glass's profit after tax drops 10% to $157.6m in FY24

New Zealand’s tax changes impacted profit.

Specialist watch retailer The Hour Glass saw its profit after tax (PAT) decline 10% YoY to $157.6m in FY24.

In a bourse filing, the retailer said the one-off deferred tax charge of $4.7m incurred due to a change in New Zealand’s tax regulations impacted its profit after tax.

Lower PAT resulted in a 9% YoY decline in profit attributable to company owners, which amounted to $156.5m.

With lower profits, the company declared earnings per share (EPS) of $0.2387, 8% lower than the $0.2591 record in FY23.

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.
