Country Garden Services First-Half Profit Fell Amid China Property Downturn
By Bingyan Wang
Country Garden Services Holdings reported lower profit for the first half of 2023 amid China's lackluster real-estate market.
The property-management affiliate of developer giant Country Garden Holdings said Tuesday that profit for the period fell 8.7% to 2.35 billion yuan ($322.3 million), weighed by the higher cost of services. Revenue was CNY20.73 billion, compared with CNY20.05 billion a year earlier, it said.
The cost of services rose to CNY15.09 billion in the first half from CNY14.02 billion a year earlier, the company said. Total bank deposits and cash remained strong, at CNY12.71 billion.
The company said the Chinese government's regulations will likely continue to affect business growth.
