Serrano loses $56.3m in 1H16

On back of additional costs incurred for projects.

Singapore-listed interior fit-out solutions provider Serrano Ltd. has swung into the red for the first half of the year as it recorded a net loss of $56.3 million.

According to the group, its revenue fell 84.6% to $8.2 million from $53.1 million a year ago. This came as revenue from the interior fit-out business decreased due to lower levels of activity from 39 projects.

Meanwhile, its other expenses ballooned more than 10 times to $10.4 million due to an increase in allowance for impairment losses.

This has caused the group to incur losses in the half-year, as compared to the earnings of around $309,000 in the past year.

Looking forward, the group expects the operating environment to remain challenging and competitive for the next years due to economic uncertainties and weaker sentiments in Singapore.

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.
