Feb 14 (Reuters) - Australian mall owner Vicinity Centres VCX.AX on Wednesday reported a 17 percent fall in half-year profit as it experienced the effects of cooling property prices, stagnant wage growth and soft retail spending.
Net profit attributable came in at A$755.9 million for the six months to Dec. 31 compared with A$908.8 million a year ago, the company added in a statement.
