United Overseas Australia Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2018. For the period, the company anticipated net profit after tax attributable to members of the company is estimated to be AUD 88 million. This is a decrease of AUD 18 million or 17% when compared to the profit achieved for year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease is in the main due to the flatness of the Malaysian market following the parliamentary elections (held earlier this year) as the new ruling party shapes the future economic path of the country.
