Jardine C&C underlying profit up 51% YoY to US$533m in H1 2022

This is supported by the higher contributions for Astra and THACO.

Jardine Cycle & Carriage (C&C) logged a 51% year-on-year (YoY) growth in underlying profit attributable to shareholders to US$522m in the first half of 2022 on the back of higher contributions from Astra and THACO.

In a statement, Jardine C&C Chairman Ben Keswick said Astra benefited from the improved economic conditions and higher commodity prices, with profit increasing by 58% YoY to $465m. THACO contributed US$54m to the underlying profit, which is 43% higher compared to the same period last year due to a strong automotive performance.

“The Group expects results in the second half of the year to remain strong, although it remains cautious as a result of global economic challenges, ongoing geopolitical developments and the continuing impact of the pandemic,” he said.

Direct Motor Interest accounted for US$28m in the profit, rising 20% YoY, he said, adding that the improved performance by Tunas Ridean in Indonesia was offset by lower profits from the Singapore operations.

Other Strategic Interests rose 13% YoY to contribute US$34m, mainly driven by higher profits from Siam City Cement and the Refrigeration Electrical Engineering Corporation.

Profit attributable to shareholders soared by 115% YoY to US$487m, whilst its revenue increased by 29% to around US$10.7b compared to the same period last year.

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.
