Uni-Asia reports $15.4m net profit loss in H1 2024

They also had an operating loss of US$9.8m. 

Uni-Asia Group Limited reported a net loss of US$11.7m ($15.4m) in H1 2024, attributable to the deteriorating Hong Kong commercial property market, driven by high interest rates, subdued sales, and debt issues amongst large Mainland China developers.

In 2010, Uni-Asia partnered with a private developer in Hong Kong for its first property project. Following its success, they continued this partnership, investing in eight projects. For the first three, Uni-Asia invested $17.5m and earned $42.7m, resulting in a $25.2m cash profit.

Uni-Asia's total income decreased by 62% to US$11.2m ($14.7) due to a fair valuation loss of US$12.8m ($16.9m) from Hong Kong property projects, reducing investment returns to a negative US$12.3m ($16.2m).

The group also reported an operating loss of US$9.8m ($12.9m) in H1 2024, from US$6.5m ($8.5m) in H1 2023. 

Net cash flows from operations was at US$6.2m ($8.2m) in H1 2024. 

Net investing cash inflows was at US$ 3.4m ($4.5m), attributed from the proceeds from ship disposed in H1 2024 offsetting investments into new properties in Japan. 

Meanwhile, cash outflows from financing activities were at US$10.6m ($14m) due to net payment borrowings and interests.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
