Jardine Cycle & Carriage profit falls 22% in 2024

Revenue remained unchanged at $30.1b ($22.3b).

Jardine Cycle & Carriage (JC&C) reported a 22% decline in profit attributable to shareholders, falling to $1.28 b ($946m) in 2024.

The company’s full-year revenue remained unchanged at $30.1b ($22.3b).

Underlying profit fell 5% to $1.48b ($1.1b), mainly due to foreign exchange differences. Without currency translation impacts, it would have risen 3%.

Corporate costs rose from $70.1m ($52m) to $111.9m ($83m), following a swing from a $29.7m ($22m) foreign exchange gain in 2023 to a $22.9m ($17m) loss in 2024. Lower corporate net debt helped offset some of the increase, reducing financing charges by $10.8m ($8m).

JC&C cut its consolidated net debt—excluding Astra’s financial services subsidiaries—to $316.9m ($235m), down from $1.55b ($1.15b) in 2023. The Group’s corporate net debt dropped to $1.1b ($816m ), whilst Astra’s financial services net debt rose from $4.6b ($3.4b) to $5b ($3.7b).

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.
