Jardine C&C's 2021 profit attributable to shareholders 83% higher

However, it remains 9% lower than pre-pandemic levels.

Jardine Cycle & Carriage said it achieved an overall satisfactory result in 2021, with significant recovery across its portfolio compared to 2020. The group's profit, however, remained 9% lower than pre-pandemic levels.

The group's profit attributable to shareholders was 83% higher than the previous year at $1.06b (US$786m). After accounting for non-trading items, profit attributable to shareholders was $896.4m (US$661m), 22% higher than the previous year. The non-trading items recorded in the year mainly comprised unrealised fair value losses related to non-current investments.

Astra contributed to the profit, reflecting improved performances, particularly from its automotive, financial services, heavy equipment and mining, and agribusiness operations. Meanwhile, direct motor interests contributed to the profit mainly due to improved contributions from Cycle & Carriage Singapore and Tunas Ridean.

"The pandemic is expected to remain a significant risk to performance in 2022, but the group is optimistic about the long-term economic prospects of Southeast Asia and is well placed to benefit from its growth opportunities," noted chairman Ben Keswick.

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.
