The swing to loss from a A$196 million profit a year earlier reflected the halving of lot settlements to 504 in its residential communities business, a three-quarter reduction in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation at its commercial urban business to A$45 million and a 19 percent drop in construction EBITDA, largely due to COVID-19 effects on work at its US operations.
