Capitaland Limited Summary Report 2009 Highlights

CapitaLand Limited is one of Asia's largest company dealing with real estate. Headquartered and listed in Singapore, I got to look at the summary report 2009. I liked the way the report was crafted and how it highlighted the few key achievements CapitaLand has accomplished not just in 2009 but over the years.

Financial Highlights

1. Profit = S$1.05 billion
2. Earnings before Interest and Tax = S$1.55 billion
3. Return on Shareholders' Funds = 8.7%
4. Return on Total Assets = 5.5%
5. Group Managed Real Estate Assets = S$47.7 billion
6. Revenue Under Management = S$6.3 billion

Apart from these financial highlights, the summary report also highlighted the following information on the cover page:

1. Group raised S$5 billion through four rights issues
2. Listed Capitamalls Asia, largest IPO in 16 years
3. More than 110 cities in over 20 countries.
4. Over 100 awards and accolades.

This is quite an amazing achievement considering that 2009 was the year of the global financial crisis. As it states plainly on the face of the summary report : "Ahead of the curve: Growth during global crisis".
