SINGAPORE - City Developments Limited on Monday said it expects the group's pre-tax profit for the first half this year to reduce"substantially" from a year ago, dragged down by its hotel operations segment amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In addition, many countries have imposed measures such as quarantines, strict social distancing and complete lockdowns of cities, which have adversely affected the group's hotel operations, even with the receipt of government grants. Meanwhile, the group's property development segment is expected to see revenue declining about 10 per cent as the H1 2020 contributions will primarily be derived from projects including The Tapestry, Whistler Grand as well as Amber Park, compared with fully completed projects such as New Futura and Gramercy Park that yielded higher profit margins in the year-ago period.
