Summary:
-
Revenue for the first half of 2025 was S$36.87 million, nearly unchanged from the previous year; driven mainly by hotel operations, with reduced income from assets disposed in 2024 and offset by new acquisitions.
-
Net loss after tax widened to S$9.48 million from S$5.52 million in 1H 2024, due to higher personnel and operating expenses, increased depreciation, a loss from fair value adjustment of investment property, and weaker results from associates.
-
Gross profit declined; finance expenses lowered slightly due to refinancing, but were still significant versus finance income.
-
Cash and cash equivalents rose to S$58.6 million, supported by new loans and matured treasury bills.
-
Net asset value per share was 87.16 cents at 30 June 2025, compared to 88.42 cents at the end of 2024.
-
No interim dividend was declared, consistent with the company’s usual practice.
-
The company expects a cautious outlook for the remainder of 2025 due to global economic uncertainties, inflation, and rising costs, but continues to seek growth in hospitality and property development sectors.
