Tan Chong posts HK$35.9m loss in H1 2024 as automotive sales drop sharply

It reversed its HK$126.9m net profit in H1 2023.

Tan Chong International Limited sank into the red in H1 2024, posting a loss attributable to equity shareholders of HK$35.9m.

The H1 2024 loss is a reversal from the HK$126.9m net profit in H1 2023. Loss per share was HK$0.0178.

Revenue also fell in H1 2024, dipping by 9.9% YoY to HK$6.59b.

The company attributed its lower revenue to a “severe drop in sales in the automotive division.”

Additionally, the company faced currency fluctuations, slowing global economic activities, and geopolitical tensions, affecting its overall financial performance.

The company’s financial services subsidiary, ETHOZ Group, and its publicly listed logistics subsidiary, ZERO, were its bright spots in H1.

The businesses recorded profit increases of 17% and 24%, respectively.

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.
