(S$1=RM3.34) The property technology company said the adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) rose 48 per cent to S$6.82 million from S$4.61 million previously. Meanwhile, revenue grew 10 per cent to S$40.68 million from S$36.88 million in the preceding year's corresponding quarter, with growth from Vietnam as market conditions continue to improve, it said in a statement today. 'Marketplaces revenues increased 11 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) to S$39 million in 2Q, driven by improving conditions in Malaysia and Vietnam combined with ongoing strength in Singapore,' it said. Malaysia's marketplace revenue rose 12 per cent y-o-y to S$7.42 million, as it continued to benefit from iProperty and PropertyGuru Malaysia's combined market strength. Meanwhile, Singapore marketplace revenue jumped 16 per cent y-o-y to S$24.97 million, as the number of agents and the average revenue per agent grew in the quarter, it said. Vietnam marketplace revenue improved four per cent y-o-y to S$5.26 million, as an increase in the number of listings was partially offset by a decrease in average revenue per listing.
