Lippo Karawaci – Earnings Flash – FY 2022 Results – Lucror Analytics

By Trung Nguyen

Lippo Karawaci’s (LPKR) FY 2022 results were weak as expected. While the post-pandemic recovery has benefited the company’s malls and hotels, Siloam Hospitals (the largest contributor to revenue and earnings) no longer enjoyed the boost from COVID-19-related procedures. The second-largest segment, Real Estate, was weighed down by a very challenging operating environment, with a sharp increase in mortgage rates impacting demand. The financial risk profile continued to be weak. The only positives are LPKR’s adequate liquidity and the good pro-forma debt maturity profile.
