Uni-Asia reports $15.4m net profit loss in H1 2024

They also had an operating loss of US$9.8m. 

Uni-Asia Group Limited reported a net loss of US$11.7m ($15.4m) in H1 2024, attributable to the deteriorating Hong Kong commercial property market, driven by high interest rates, subdued sales, and debt issues amongst large Mainland China developers.

In 2010, Uni-Asia partnered with a private developer in Hong Kong for its first property project. Following its success, they continued this partnership, investing in eight projects. For the first three, Uni-Asia invested $17.5m and earned $42.7m, resulting in a $25.2m cash profit.

Uni-Asia's total income decreased by 62% to US$11.2m ($14.7) due to a fair valuation loss of US$12.8m ($16.9m) from Hong Kong property projects, reducing investment returns to a negative US$12.3m ($16.2m).

The group also reported an operating loss of US$9.8m ($12.9m) in H1 2024, from US$6.5m ($8.5m) in H1 2023. 

Net cash flows from operations was at US$6.2m ($8.2m) in H1 2024. 

Net investing cash inflows was at US$ 3.4m ($4.5m), attributed from the proceeds from ship disposed in H1 2024 offsetting investments into new properties in Japan. 

Meanwhile, cash outflows from financing activities were at US$10.6m ($14m) due to net payment borrowings and interests.

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.
