Analysis · AMTD · Finance
Profit dropped 41% to US$40.3 million, but the cause is a mark-to-market swing rather than an operating collapse: unrealized gains on the investment portfolio shrank to US$25.0 million from US$56.2 million. The operating story is the hotel build-out. Hospitality revenue rose 59.8% to US$20.2 million after property purchases in New York, Perth, London and Kuala Lumpur, lifting property, plant and equipment by US$380.3 million. That growth was debt-funded, with bank borrowings up to US$342.9 million and total liabilities rising to US$543.3 million from US$385.4 million. A US$1.9 billion net asset base remains, but earnings quality hinges on volatile investment gains rather than the hotel business.
