The financial results for GuocoLand’s fiscal year ending on June 30 showed an increase in revenue from both its development and investment segments. However, the company’s net profit declined by 17% from the previous year to $107 million due to an allowance for its development properties in China. Despite this decrease, the board of directors has proposed a final dividend of 7 cents per share, which is higher than the consistent 6 cents paid annually over the past five years.

According to GuocoLand’s CEO Cheng Hsing Yao, the company’s performance for FY2025 was strong, thanks to its two main businesses in Singapore – property development and property investment. Despite facing uncertain economic conditions, Cheng remains optimistic about the resilience of their businesses in Singapore.

The company’s revenue for the year was boosted by a 3% increase in property development revenue, which was mainly driven by the progressive recognition of sales from residential projects in Singapore. Additionally, revenue from the property investment segment grew by 22% year-on-year, supported by higher rental contributions from properties such as Guoco Tower and Guoco Midtown, both of which are almost fully occupied.

The demand for GuocoLand’s residential projects in Singapore remained strong, with properties like Midtown Modern and Lentor Modern being fully sold during FY2025. Other projects like Lentor Hills Residences, Lentor Mansion, and the newly launched Lentor Central Residences were also substantially sold as of June 30.

Despite the challenging market conditions in China, GuocoLand’s outlook remains subdued. The company highlighted issues such as sector consolidation, geopolitical tensions, and overall economic headwinds as the main reasons for the challenges in the Chinese market. To mitigate potential losses, GuocoLand has made provisions of $82.8 million for its Chinese development properties, a decrease from $103.8 million the previous year.

Cheng emphasized that while development earnings are more cyclical, their investment portfolio provides a steady stream of recurring income. He also stated the company’s commitment to exercising discipline and prudence while seeking new growth opportunities to ensure sustainable long-term value for shareholders.
