UOL reported a 49% increase in attributable profit before fair value and other gains (operating PATMI) to $468.7 million for FY25. The increase was due to the strong performance from property development and property investments.
On the back of the strong operating PATMI, the Board has proposed a special dividend of $0.07 per share on top of a first and final dividend of $0.18 per share, bringing the total dividend to $0.25 per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2025.
Net attributable profit (PATMI) increased 34% to $481.7 million as compared with FY24. The increase was due to strong performance across most segments.
Group pre-tax profit before fair value and other gains rose 33% to $708.0 million compared with FY24, due mainly to higher operating profits from all segments and share of profits from development joint ventures, and lower net finance expenses.
On 26 February 2026, the panel comprising UOL Group Chief Executive Liam Wee Sin, PPHG Chief Executive Officer Choe Peng Sum, UOL Chief Financial Officer Ng Tiang Poh Eric, UOL Chief Operating Officer Neo Soon Hup, UOL Chief Investment and Asset Officer Shirley Ng and UOL Chief Corporate and Development Officer Yvonne Tan briefed over 60 journalists, analysts and staff in-person on the results.
Mr Liam said: “In 2025, we delivered a very strong set of results. The Singapore residential sector remained healthy, reflected in our robust sales and this adds to our income visibility for the next two years. The acquisitions of Thomson View, Dorset Road and Hougang Central sites give us a quality pipeline of replenishment sites.
“Our recurring income portfolio has benefitted from Singapore’s safe haven status. We have been enhancing our recurring income through AEIs of our commercial properties and refurbishment of our hotels. The redevelopment of Clifford Centre and the planning approval processes of Marina Square’s Strategic Development Incentive are on track.”
He highlighted that 2026 is expected to be uncertain, amidst profound global change and a more complex operating environment. “We will continue to sharpen our total portfolio management strategy. The divestments of PARKROYAL Yangon, PARKROYAL Saigon and KINEX will give us opportunities to redeploy capital into value-enhancing investments,” added Mr Liam.
