CDL profits fall 8.3% to $156.1m in Q3

Blame lower contributions from its property development segment.

City Developments Limited (CDL) profits slipped 8.3% YoY to $156.1m in Q3.

According to OCBC Investment Research, this was mainly due to the fact that divestment gains recognised last year were higher.

Quarterly revenue fell 6.5% YoY to $863.1m as contributions from the property development segment fell.

Here's more from OCBC Investment Research:

The group reported a strong uptake for its launched residential projects in Singapore and, for YTD Sep 2017, CDL and its joint venture associates sold 1,056 residential units in Singapore, more than double the units sold and triple the total sales value during the same period last year.

In addition, management also highlighted that the economy in Singapore is recovering and sees brighter prospects for the domestic property market.

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.
