Wing Tai’s profit sinks by 92% to $2m

No one-time gains to lean on this time.

The rug has been pulled from under the property company this time, as it was left gasping after the absence of a $21.2m divestment gain from the sale of shares in an Indonesian property subsidiary.

Adding to the company’s woes, JV and associate contributions in Hong Kong and JV projects in Singapore also registered dismal profits.

However, analysts from OCBC say a bright spot remains for Wing Tai, as revenues increased by 6% yoy to $170.3m, due to contributions from The Tembusu, Le

Nouvel Ardmore, The Lakeview in China and contributions from Phase 2 of Jesselton Hills in Penang.

“Wing Tai’s net gearing ratio currently stands at 14% and we believe the group is well-positioned to ride out the current down-cycle,” OCBC said.

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.
