Far East Orchard profits down 74.2% to $3.15m in Q3

Its assets in Australia performed poorly and dragged sales down.

Hospitality firm Far East Orchard Limited's (FEOR) profits crashed 74.2% YoY from $12.21m to $3.15m in Q3.

According to its financial statement, sales were 20.7% YoY lower to $36.3m due to the completion of onerous lease agreements in Australia and New Zealand.

Its two assets in Perth, Australia also performed poorly. FEOR said a "challenging operating environment" hampered earnings from the assets.

FEOR's share of profits of joint ventures decreased mainly due to the absence of the progressive recognition of profits in Q3 in 2016 from the sale of units in a joint venture property development project, RiverTrees Residences, which obtained its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) in May 2017.

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.
