Hongkong Land widens loss by 138% in FY2024

It was due to non-cash provisions from the Chinese mainland build-to-sell business.

Hongkong Land Holdings Limited has reported its net loss attributable to shareholders widened by 138% year-on-year to $10.8b (US$1.39b) for the financial year 2024 ended 31 December.

The group’s underlying profit attributable to shareholders for the period came in at $3.2b (US$410m), down 44% YoY.

It attributed the decline to non-cash provisions from the Chinese mainland build-to-sell business.

In Hong Kong, physical vacancy was 7.3%  whilst committed basis vacancy was 7.1%. The group's average portfolio office rent was $101 per square foot.

Moreover, the group’s investment properties portfolio in Hong Kong declined by 5% to $177b (US$22.8b) due to a decline in market rent for offices.

The group has proposed a final dividend of $1.32 (US$0.17) per share.

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.
