CLI’s total profit plunges 70% in 2025 on lower portfolio gains, higher revaluation losses

China losses drive a steep fall in company earnings.

CapitaLand Investment (CLI) reported its total PATMI fell 70% to $145m in 2025—compared to $479m in 2024—amidst revaluation losses and impairments of $439m within the China portfolio.

This is despite reporting an operating profit after tax and minority interests (PATMI) of $539m for the financial year ended 31 December 2025, up from $510m in 2024, according to a financial statement.

The strong operating PATMI was offset by lower portfolio gains from asset sales, which reached $45m, down from $230m in the previous year, whilst total revenue declined to $2.13b from $2.82b in 2024.

Basic earnings per share fell to 2.9 cents from 9.5 cents in 2024. CLI proposed a dividend of 12.0 cents per share, compared to 18.5 cents in the prior year.

Funds under management grew 7% to $125b, supported by fundraising momentum as total equity raised nearly doubled to $6.5b, the statement said.

Acquisitions during the year included Wingate Group Holdings and a 40% stake in SC Capital Partners. The group also listed CapitaLand Commercial C-REIT in September 2025.

Net debt-to-equity stood at 0.43x, whilst bank borrowings totalled $5.97b, with 72% of debt at fixed interest rates and an implied interest cost of 3.9%. Available debt headroom reached $6.4b.

Revenue from fee-related businesses amounted to $1.21b, whilst real estate investment revenue totalled $1.02b.

Artificial intelligence-enabled initiatives generated $12m in revenue and delivered $5m in cost savings.

Lee Chee Koon, Group CEO of CLI, said the company will focus on divestments and capital redeployment in 2026 to increase recurring fees.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

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