Japan's Mitsubishi Q1 profit down 43pct, beats expectations
TOKYO: Japanese trading house Mitsubishi on Monday posted a net profit of 203.1 billion yen (US$1.4 billion) in the three months to June 30, down 43 per cent from a year ago but beating analysts' forecasts. An LSEG poll of analysts had expected the company to post 180.3 billion yen in the first-quarter net profit. In the same period of last year, Mitsubishi saw a net profit of 354.4 billion yen. This year, the profit was mainly down due to the absence of gains from asset sales and weaker prices in the Australian steelmaking coal business, the company said. Mitsubishi left its forecast for the fiscal year ending next March unchanged at 700 billion yen. Billionaire investor Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has taken minority stakes in Japan's top five trading houses, including Mitsubishi.

Singapore property tycoon linked to jailed minister pleads guilty
SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Property tycoon Ong Beng Seng pleaded guilty to one charge of obstructing justice on Monday in a landmark corruption case that led to the jailing of former transport minister S. Iswaran last year. However, both the prosecution and defence agreed to grant Ong judicial mercy given his chronic illness, and argued for him to be fined in lieu of imprisonment. He will be sentenced on Aug 15. A second charge of abetting an offence was also taken into consideration. Judicial mercy gives courts the authority to give a more lenient sentence in exceptional mitigating circumstances, such as a terminal illness or when imprisonment could pose a high risk of endangering a life. The defence submitted that Ong suffers from multiple myeloma, an incurable cancer that affects his blood plasma cells and renders him immuno-compromised. The case has been the subject of major intrigue in Singapore, a wealthy financial hub that offers ministers salaries of more than S$1 million ($775,000) to deter graft and prides itself on its reputation for clean governance. Ong had informed Iswaran that his associates had been questioned and a private flight manifest with Iswaran's name on it for a flight from Singapore to Doha had been seized by the corruption watchdog during investigations. This led Iswaran to ask Ong to issue an invoice through Singapore GP, promoter of the Singapore F1 Grand Prix, to bill him for the trip, which prosecutors say Iswaran knew would make it less likely that he would be investigated. Iswaran was sentenced to 12 months in prison in October 2024, the first time a former cabinet member had ever been jailed in Singapore, on charges of obstructing justice and receiving more than $300,000 worth of gifts. In February, Iswaran was put under house arrest for the remainder of his sentence. Ong gave Iswaran tickets to English Premier League soccer matches, the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix, London musicals and a ride on a private jet among other favours. Iswaran was an adviser to the Singapore Grand Prix's steering committee, while Ong, 78, owns the rights to the race. The billionaire stepped down as managing director of Singapore-listed Hotel Properties in April. ($1 = 1.2882 Singapore dollars) (Reporting by Jun Yuan Yong; Editing by David Stanway)

Singapore's GIC to take 25pct stake in Spanish broadband venture, FT reports
BENGALURU: Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC is set to take a 25 per cent stake in a fibre optic broadband venture between MasOrange and Vodafone Spain, the Financial Times reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter. GIC's investment in the company will be announced as soon as Monday, the report said, adding that its stake would be worth about 1.4 billion euros (US$1.6 billion). The deal comes after Zegona Communications unit Vodafone Spain agreed in January to create the new fibre network company in Spain with MasOrange, with London-listed Zegona expected to hold 10 per cent of the venture. The parties at the time of the announcement of the deal were also looking for an investor for the new venture who was expected to hold 40 per cent of the business. Reuters could not immediately verify the FT report. GIC, Vodafone Spain, Zegona and MasOrange did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Zegona acquired Vodafone Spain in a 5 billion euro deal last year, as part of Vodafone Group's exit from its Spanish operations.
