FRASERS Centrepoint Limited (FCL) posted a 42.2 per cent decline in net profit to S$71.2 million for the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, amid lower contribution from development projects and an absence of a divestment gain compared to a year ago.

Its revenue came in 21.4 per cent lower than a year ago at S$705.8 million, mainly due to the timing of income recognition from residential projects in Singapore, China and the UK. In particular, the Twin Fountains executive condominium in Singapore was completed in the year-ago period.
