OUE projects net loss for FY2020

The pandemic has affected the ability of tenants to pay rent and other fees.

OUE Limited has informed it shareholders that it would likely post a loss for 2020, the company disclosed on 17 February.

On its investment properties, OUE reported an approximate loss of $424.4m. Approximately $298.9m, or 68.8%, of this loss was due to the disposal of the US Bank Tower September last year.

Impairment losses on property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets was also a factor to the loss.

The COVID-19 pandemic has dampened profit further, as it has affected the ability of tenants to pay rent and other fees.

The company is finalizing its FY2020 financial results, scheduled for disclosure on 24 February.

In 2019, OUE posted a net profit of $321.8 million

OUE stocks closed at $1.13 per share on 17 February, lower than its $1.14 close a day prior.

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.
