FY2020 net loss ahead for GL

The group saw potential impairment losses from their hotel assets and development property.

Investment firm GL has announced that they are expecting to report a net loss for FY2020, an SGX filing stated.

The losses are primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has resulted in widespread international travel restrictions and severely disrupted the Group’s UK hospitality business led by its wholly-owned subsidiary, GLH Hotels Limited.

GL also said that there are potential impairment losses attributable to the group’s hotel assets and development property. They are also impacted by lower income from the group’s Bass Strait oil and gas royalty interest compared to the previous corresponding period, driven by significantly weaker crude oil prices that reflected an unprecedented situation of an oversupply exacerbated by the impact of COVID-19 on global demand.

“Notwithstanding the above, the group’s financial position remains robust and it has adequate liquidity to see it through this challenging period, with total cash and undrawn credit facilities standing at circa $323.65m (US$235m) as of 30 June,” GL added.

The group is slated to release its FY2020 results on or before 26 August 2020. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the company.

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.
