Frasers Property profits for FY 2018 up 10.1% to $759m

Revenue from its Singapore strategic business unit climbed 58% to $1.36b.

Frasers Property saw its profit jump 10.1% YoY from $689.1m to $759m for its FY 2018, an announcement revealed. Revenue also inched up 7.1% to $4.31b.

Revenue for its Singapore strategic business unit (SBU) skyrocketed 58% to $1.36b whilst its profit before interest, fair value change, taxation and exceptional items (PBIT) climbed 18% to $481m pushed by the commencement of operations at the newly completed south wing of Northpoint City as well as higher occupancies at the north wing following the completion of the asset enhancement initiatives.

“To further strengthen Frasers Property’s resilience amidst an environment of increasing macroeconomic volatility, we continued to expand the group’s recurring income base during the year,” Frasers Property group CEO Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi said. “In particular, we deepened our presence in the logistics, industrial, and business park segments in markets that we are already familiar with, broadening the scale of our platforms in these sectors.”

Meanwhile, the firm’s Singapore residential properties jumped by $467m and $92m to $879m and $147m, respectively. The higher revenue and PBIT were largely attributable to the profit recognition on the settlements of Parc Life Executive Condominium and progressive development profit recognition from Seaside Residences.

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.
