Chairman’s Statement
“FY2025 year in review
Macro environment
• Geopolitical uncertainties persisted due to US tariffs and continued international conflicts
• In Singapore, the property market saw continued demand in both the commercial and residential sectors, underpinned by a healthy GDP growth and stable employment rates
Deepened presence in Singapore – Lentor projects performing well.
New land plots − Margaret Drive, Faber Walk, Tengah Garden Avenue, River Valley Green (Parcel B).
Guoco Midtown integrated development completed. Commercial projects providing stable recurring rental revenue.
TOP achieved for Midtown Modern and Guoco Midtown II. 100% sold for Midtown Modern and committed occupancy for Guoco Midtown II.”
The tone is cautiously optimistic, highlighting persistent macroeconomic and geopolitical risks but also a strong performance and strategic growth in Singapore.
Dividends
- Total dividends maintained at 7 cents per share, unchanged from the prior year.
Business Highlights
- Strong sales in Singapore residential projects, with near or full sell-out rates at Lentor Modern, Lentor Hills Residences, Lentor Central Residences, and Lentor Mansion.
- Recurring rental income bolstered by high occupancy rates in flagship properties such as Guoco Tower and Guoco Midtown.
- Strategic land acquisitions and launches, including new developments at Margaret Drive, Faber Walk, Tengah Garden Avenue, and River Valley Green.
- Sustainability focus: All major developments attain BCA Green Mark or LEED certifications, many at Platinum level.
Macroeconomic and Industry Environment
- Singapore: GDP grew 4.3% (1H 2025), with resilient homeowner demand and a positive office rental market driven by “flight to quality”.
- China: GDP grew 5.2% (2Q 2025), but the property market remains challenged by high vacancy rates and cautious sentiment.
- Malaysia: GDP growth forecast revised down; property market transactional activity dipped in early 2025.
Notable Items
- Allowance for foreseeable losses on China development properties impacted group profits.
- Secured S\$2.45 billion in new green financing facilities.
- China project loans remain a small proportion (2%) of total borrowings.
- No mention of legal disputes, natural disasters, or share buybacks in the period.
Conclusion and Investment Outlook
GuocoLand’s FY2025 performance reflects a strong and stable Singapore core, with recurring income and asset value trends remaining positive. The company is successfully executing its “twin-engine” strategy of property development and investment, and continues to capitalise on Singapore’s resilient real estate market. However, challenges in China have weighed on profits, and the group remains exposed to macroeconomic risks in its overseas segments.
- Strengths: Strong recurring income, high occupancy rates, prudent capital management, and a pipeline of quality projects in Singapore.
- Risks: Ongoing uncertainties in China, and a modest decline in group attributable and operating profits year-on-year.
Investor Recommendations
- If you currently hold GuocoLand shares:
- The company demonstrates solid fundamentals in Singapore and maintains prudent financial management. Investors may consider holding their position, as the recurring income base and asset value growth provide a degree of stability, especially with a maintained dividend payout.
- If you are not currently holding GuocoLand shares:
- Potential investors should monitor for any further developments in China and the broader macroeconomic environment. GuocoLand may present an opportunity for those seeking stable, asset-backed exposure to Singapore real estate, but caution is warranted due to overseas uncertainties and recent profit declines.
