Jardine C&C's net earnings down 23% in H1

Net profit declines by 23% to US$371m due to unrealised fair value losses.

Jardine Cycle & Carriage (Jardine C&C) has reported a profit attributable to shareholders of $481.34m (US$371m) in the first half (H1) of 2025, down 23% compared to the same period last year.

In a bourse filing, the company mainly attributed this to unrealised fair value losses related to non-current investments.

Jardine C&C said its underlying profit saw a 6% increase to $686.31m (US$529m) in H1. This was driven by a $42.82m (US$33m) translation gain on foreign currency corporate loans, lower corporate net debt over the period, and increased contributions from Vietnam businesses by 17% to $46.71m (US$36 million).

On the other hand, businesses in Indonesia contributed $604.6m (US$466m), a decrease of 9%.

The group’s consolidated net cash position, excluding the net borrowings from Astra’s financial services subsidiaries, was $33.73m (US$26m) at the end of June 2025, compared to net debt of $304.8m (US$235m) at the end of 2024, with the improvement mainly due to strong operating cash flow.

An interim one-tier tax-exempt dividend of $0.36 (US$0.28) per share for H1 was also announced. This will be paid on 3 October 2025.

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.
