ComfortDelGro expects net loss in H1

This is due to the impact of the pandemic on the company’s operating regions.

ComfortDelGro’s (CDG) board of directors expects to report a net loss for H1 2020 based on the preliminary review of the draft financial results, according to a bourse filing.

The expected net loss for H1 is mainly attributed to the impact of the pandemic on the company’s operating regions, as well as the possibility of impairment of investments in certain local and overseas subsidiaries.

CDG recorded a 48.9% YoY plunge in profits after tax and minority interests (PATMI) in Q1 and a revenue decline of 9% YoY to $862.4m.

However, the company notes that its overall financial position remains healthy. As of 22 May, the unaudited cash and cash equivalents as of Q1 was $632.8m, and the available facilities in various currencies were approximately $704.7m.

The company is still in the process of finalising its results for H1 2020 and will provide further details of its performance when it releases the financial results.

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.
