SINGAPORE (Nov 13): Stronger property sales and better margins have helped Yanlord Land’s earnings for the nine months ended Sept 30 (9M18) has overtaken full-year earnings for the preceding FY17.

For 9M18, Yanlord’s earnings of RMB3.29 billion ($653 million) was 64% higher than RMB2 billion in the preceding period. For the full year 2017, it earned RMB3.21 billion.

For the current 4Q, the company will be launching 10 projects, across cities such as Nanjing, Hangzhou and Tianjin.

With some 4.22 million sqm in total land bank, the company says this is sufficient for new developments over the next five years.
