Bukit Sembawang Estates H1 earnings dip 25% after completion of two condo developments

Bukit Sembawang Estates’ net profit for the half-year ended September fell 25 per cent year on year to S$47.2 million, primarily due to a plunge of 61 per cent in revenue from its property development segment.

The property group has business segments including development, investment holding and operating of serviced apartments. Its revenue plunged 60 per cent to S$130.2 million as a result of lower revenue in the development segment, based on its H1 FY2025/26 financial results published on Wednesday (Nov 5).

The decline of the segment’s revenue was primarily due to the absence of revenue from two condominium projects, The Atelier and LIV@MB, as they were completed, said Bukit Sembawang.

Meanwhile, the hospitality segment’s revenue fell 12 per cent to S$6.6 million, mainly due to lower average room rates and occupancy rates at the serviced apartments, Fraser Residence Orchard, Singapore.

Earnings per share for the period stood at S$0.1821, lower than S$0.243 in the corresponding period last year.

Net asset value per share was S$6.13 as at end-September, compared with S$6.15 as at end-March.
