Jardine Matheson reports $623m net loss for FY2024

This was due to lower contributions from Zhongsheng and Hongkong Land.

Jardine Matheson reported a net loss of $623m (US$468m) in FY2024 from a net profit of $914m (US$686m) in the previous year.

Underlying net profit also fell 11% year-on-year (YoY) to $1.95b (US$1.47b) from $2.21b (US$1.66b) in FY2023.

Loss per share stood at $0.021 (US$0.0161), whilst underlying earnings per share stood at $0.068 (US$0.0507).

The decrease was due to lower contribution from Zhongsheng and a reduced profit from Hongkong Land as a result of the non-cash impairments from its build-to-sell segment on the Chinese mainland.

Meanwhile, revenue for the period decreased slightly by 1% YoY to $47.5m (US$35.7m) from $47.9m (US$36.0m) in FY2023.

In a bourse filing, the group reported slightly lower contributions from JC&C and JP, stable results from Mandarin Oriental, and stronger performances by DFI and Astra.

In addition, Jardine Matheson reported net non-trading losses of $2.57b (US$1.93b), mainly from $1.59b (US$1.2b) in fair value losses, impairment of goodwill and the interests in associates totalling $756m (US$568m), and $334m (US$251m) in other non-trading items, partly offset by $118m (US$89m) in property sale gains and investment revaluations.

The board is recommending a final dividend of $2.20 (US$1.65) per share, which produces an unchanged full-year dividend of $3.00 (US$2.25) per share.

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.
