Chairman's Statement
Kingsley Cooper1 (1)

Pulse Investments Ltd, recorded very strong gains in financial year ended June 30, 2021. The company’s audited financial statements filed with the Jamaica Stock Exchange, showed profits up by 74.8%, moving from $840.3 million in 2020 to $1.47 billion this year. Income also showed a robust gain, increasing by 52.9%, to $1.93 billion June 2021, up from $1.26 billion in prior year. Earnings per share increased to 23 cents from 13 cents last year. Administrative and other expenses fell marginally by 3.1%, from $395.4 million in 2020 to $383 million as at June 30 this year, as the company tightened expenses in a challenging pandemic environment. While rental income and model commissions showed gains of 9.7% and 7.1% respectively, the largest gains were from investment property, mainly from Villa Ronai in Stony Hill ,which was acquired by Pulse during the financial year. Both the Ronai and Trafalgar Road properties returned significant appreciation in value, but Ronai also recorded gains as a result of the conversion from a leasehold property to a fully owned Pulse asset. Further, prior year expansion as a result of the completion of the Pulse Suites project at the Stony Hill location, also added to the gains in the value of investment property this year. Rental income was up to $103.6 million (from $94.4 million in 2020). Model commissions moved to $49.3m, up from $46 million last year.

Pulse expresses appreciation to all its stakeholders, especially its shareholders for their support. The company’s 40th year celebrations were cut short by COVID 19 in 2020, but continued achievement in this extremely challenging environment is certainly reason for continued confidence.

Employees and Contractors – are the vehicle for us to fulfill our mission due to their dedication and commitment to the organization. We are committed to providing safe and supportive environments for their growth and development and to their personal and professional success.

Clients – and our potential clients – are the reason we exist. Our commitment is to treat each and every one with respect, to support their aspirations and represent their interests to maximize their opportunities at all times.
