PropNex's Q3 net profit balloons 9.3%

However, revenue dropped 3.3% due to lower agency commission income.

PropNex recorded a 9.3% hike in net profit in Q3 to $7.2m from $6.6m a year ago, propped up by strong demand in both private residential and public housing segments.

The group saw a 24.6% YoY growth in topline to $360m and a 78.7% YoY growth in NPAT to $23.2 million over the same comparative period.

A decline in commission income from agency services due to the circuit breaker led to a 3.3% drop in revenue to $118.5m in the same period, but was partially offset by a hike in commission income from project marketing services due to a higher number of completed transactions.

The group’s balance sheet remained robust with cash and cash equivalents of $94.8m as of 30 September 2020, compared to $81.6m as of 31 December 2019.

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.
