Centurion posts 35% net profit decline in H1

This is attributed to lower fair value gains recorded as compared to H1 2024.

Centurion Corporation Limited has reported a decrease of 35% in net profit after tax in the first half of 2025 (H1 2025) to $82.99m, compared to the recorded $127.69m during the same period in the previous year.

According to the company, this is mainly due to a $63.3m reduction in net fair value gain on investment properties, including those of associated companies.

Excluding fair value adjustments, the group’s core business operational profits in H1 2025 improved by 22% to $65.4m year on year (YoY).

The company said revenue was up by 13% YoY to $140.7m, driven by positive rental revisions across all markets and healthy financial occupancies in both Singapore and the UK.

Centurion also disclosed that its latest Purpose-Built Worker Accommodation (PBWA) asset, Westlite Ubi, achieved rapid ramp-up, reaching full financial occupancy by April 2025 and driving a 17% YoY increase in Singapore PBWA revenue.

The company has declared an interim dividend of 2 cents per share for H1 2025.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
