BBR's net profit down 24.3% to $1.08m in Q3

Blame it on lower construction revenue.

BBR Holdings' attributable profit fell to $1.08m in the third quarter, as higher property development revenue was offset by lower contributions from its key construction segment.

The group enjoyed higher gross profit on back of increased contribution from its Bliss@Kovan development project, which was at its active stage of construction during the quarter.

The Group also recorded foreign currency translation loss of $1.3 million for 3Q15 under other comprehensive income due to translation loss of its Malaysia subsidiary from the weakening of the Malaysian ringgit against the Singapore dollar over the period.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
