Raffles Medical's profit up 0.4% to $71m in FY2018

The revenue of its Healthcare Services division grew 6% and boosted growth.

Raffles Medical Group's FY2018 profit grew 0.4% YoY to $71m from $70.8m in 2017 due to higher tax expense and additional depreciation arising from the recently completed Raffles Specialist Centre.

According to its financial statement, revenue went up by 2.4% YoY to $489.1m from $477.6m. Revenue for Healthcare Services division grew 6% whilst the revenue of Hospital Services division decreased marginally by 0.8%.

Revenue from the Hospital Services division in 2018 reduced marginally partly due to the refurbishment of the current inpatient facilities in 2018.

This was after accounting for the distribution of dividend of $15.6m, the payment of $101m for investment properties under development, as well as capital expenditure for business expansion in the year, Raffles Medical added.

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.
