Hong Leong Finance net profit rises 12.9% in H1 2024

Earnings per share stood at $0.2345.

Hong Leong Finance reported a 12.9% increase in net profit, rising to $52.6m in H1 2024 from $46.6m a year ago, due to higher net interest income and an expanded net interest margin of 1.6%.

Total operating expenses for the period rose 5.6% to $55.7m, mainly due to higher staff costs from salary increases and investments in regulatory compliance and risk management, partially offset by a decline in other operating expenses from tightened cost control.

Earnings per share stood at $0.2345, up from $0.2078 in H1 2023.

The company declared an interim dividend of $0.0375 per share, to be paid on 5 September.

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.
