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

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
