Courts Asia Improved profitability driven by Singapore ■ Courts adopted new accounting standards this quarter, which effectively lowered reported revenue and profits, making comparability to our forecasts irrelevant. ■ Reported FY3/17 core net profit (S$23.7m) therefore came in below our FY17 forecast of S$25.2m or at 94% of our estimate. ■ The retail environment is still soft but the big positive is its Singapore operations where EBIT doubled on the back of better margins, driving group NP to +248% yoy. ■ Final DPS of 1.29 Scts declared, c.4% yield intact. ■ We tweak our earnings, mostly to reflect the new accounting standards. But our TP remains unchanged at S$0.60 (still based on 10.2x CY18 P/E, -1 s.d.).
