Far East Orchard profit falls 10.6% to $59m in FY2024

Still, the group’s revenue rose 4.5% to $191.9m.

Far East Orchard's profit attributable to equity holders fell 10.6% to $59m for the year ended 31 December 2024, down from $65.9m in the previous year.

Despite the decrease in profit, the group’s revenue rose 4.5% to $191.9m, up from $183.6m in the previous year, largely driven by growth in its Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) business. The Hospitality segment remained the largest revenue contributor, generating $126.5m.

Additionaly, operating profit increased 35.6% to $78.5m, supported by stronger performance across both business segments.

PBSA operating profit climbed to $37.1m, benefitting from rental growth, contributions from a Southampton asset acquired in May 2023, and the group’s 49% stake in PBSA operator Homes for Students, acquired in April 2024.

The Hospitality segment’s operating profit increased by $4.9m to $29.1m, bolstered by improved performance in Japan and Europe.

However, a major refurbishment project at a hospitality property in Australia, which began in October 2024, negatively impacted the segment’s overall performance.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
