UOL's current projects enjoy higher take-up rates

3Q residential revenue rose 19% to $206.6m.

UOL has posted 11% growth in revenues in 3Q to $393.4m, thanks to residential contributions underpinned by higher sales from ongoing projects.

CIMB notes that during the period, the firm's residential revenue rose 19% yoy to S$206.6m in 3Q with progressive recognition of billings and higher take-up rate from ongoing projects such as Botanique at Bartley (96% sold), Riverbank @ Fernvale (78% sold), and Principal Garden (43% sold).

The Park Eleven development in Shanghai is also 21% sold at an average ASP of Rmb77,000psm.

Looking ahead, with most of its residential projects well sold and the Riverbank @ Fernvale on track to achieve completion status in 1Q17, UOL plans to launch a new 505-unit development, The Clement Canopy, in 1Q17.

CIMB believes that the acquisition of Raintree Garden enbloc site should also extend its residential earnings visibility.

"With a gearing of 0.28x, the group can continue to leverage its balance sheet for new investments, in our view," it 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.
