British and Malayan Holdings Widens Net Asset Value Buffer Despite 1H2026 Loss as Fees and Associate Income Lift Top Line 19%
Summary:
-
Operating revenue for 1H2026 rose 17% year-on-year to S$877,000, driven mainly by higher trustee service fees from new clients.
-
Total income climbed 19% to S$1.11 million, supported by stronger associate contribution of S$153,000 versus S$72,000 a year earlier.
-
Operating loss before tax narrowed 10% to S$714,000 as higher income offset a rise in other expenses to S$678,000 on increased professional and commission costs.
-
Net asset value per share eased to S$0.86 from S$0.94 as total equity fell to S$7.56 million, reflecting cumulative losses for the half year.
-
The group remains debt free, with liquidity comprising S$3.28 million in cash and S$2.23 million of other financial assets, though cash declined from S$4.44 million six months earlier.
-
No interim dividend was declared as the group continues to conserve cash for business growth and new opportunities in a competitive Singapore trust market.
