OUE swings to $114.6m loss in H1 on GPI hit

It incurred a $47m impairment loss on its interest in GPI.

OUE Limited reported a loss attributable to shareholders of $114.6m in the first half (H1) of 2026, reversing a $35.6m profit a year earlier.

The group attributed the loss mainly to non-cash items, including a $47m impairment loss on its interest in Gemdale Properties and Investment Corporation Limited (GPI), as well as higher losses from equity-accounted investees.

Group revenue increased 5.3% to $308.3m in H1 2026, from $292.8m in H1 2025, driven by improved contributions across all business segments.

Revenue from its real estate segment increased 5.5% to $205.1m, led by growth in its hospitality division.

Hospitality revenue rose 10.4% to $109.5m, underpinned by higher revenue per available room at Hilton Singapore Orchard and Crowne Plaza Changi Airport, supported by stable corporate bookings, resilient travel demand, and a stronger MICE pipeline in the first quarter.

Revenue from the investment properties and fund management division remained stable at $95.5m, reflecting steady performance from the group’s commercial portfolio in Singapore.

The group’s healthcare segment also recorded stable revenue of $75.4m, due mainly to stronger performance from its respiratory and cardiothoracic specialist clinics in Singapore and hospital in Wuxi, China.

This was partially offset by lower contributions from First Real Estate Investment Trust, amidst a weaker Indonesian Rupiah and Japanese Yen against the Singapore Dollar, and the divestment of the subsidiary holding Imperial Aryaduta Hotel and Country Club in December 2025.

Its F&B division saw revenue jump 20.8% to $27.8m, mainly driven by contributions from a newly opened dining outlet and the full-period contribution from outlets opened last year.

Losses from equity-accounted investees increased to $53.2m from $46m a year earlier, mainly due to higher losses from the group’s hospitals in China and GPI.

The losses were partially offset by contributions from the newly acquired Salesforce Tower in Sydney, Australia, and higher contributions from OUE Allianz Bayfront LLP following lower finance costs.

Adjusted earnings before interest, tax and other losses declined 11.7% to $48.6m, mainly due to higher losses from equity-accounted investees.

As at 30 June, the group had $430.3m in unutilised committed facilities and $226.5m in cash and cash equivalents.

The board approved an interim tax-exempt dividend of $0.01 per share.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
