SINGAPORE: Property giant CapitaLand reported a first quarter net profit fall of 11.8 per cent to $161.3 million here the other day.
Revenue soared 49.4 per cent to $915 million for the three months to Mar 31, compared with a year ago.
This was owing to higher contribution from residential projects in Singapore and Vietnam, as well as the consolidation of CapitaLand Township’s revenue as it became a unit of CapitaLand in March.
Group chief executive Lim Ming Yan said in a statement: “Despite a challenging market environment, CapitaLand’s well-balanced portfolio of investment properties and residential projects will continue to generate recurring income and trading profits.”
