Metro Holdings M01 1.65% reported that its FY2023 ending March earnings had increased by a considerable 6.1% back year-on-year to a net sum of $25.2 million. Contributing to this result was higher sales from its two Singapore department stores, Metro Paragon and Metro Causeway Point, which resulted in a 16.7% y-o-y increase in revenue to $117.2 million from $100.5 million previously.

This increase in revenue was partially offset by a lower return from the property division, largely attributed to reduced sale of property rights of the residential development properties in Bekasi and Bintaro, Jakarta. This saw a year on year decrease in revenue to $13.2 million from $13.9 million in FY2022. Nevertheless, it should be noted that revenue from GIE Tower in Guangzhou managed to marginally increase from $6.3 million to $6.4 million.

Contributing to a positive FY2023 result for the Group were higher contributions of $11.7 million from the …
