Guoco H1 FY2026 profit from operations fell 38% to HKD 1.31bn

Guoco Group posted a profit attributable to equity shareholders of HKD2.03 billion for H1 (six months) ended 31 December 2025, up 13%, with earnings per share of HKD6.23 (+13%). Turnover fell 10% to HKD11.89 billion and revenue declined 7% to HKD11.68 billion, while profit from operations decreased 38% to HKD1.31 billion. The board declared an interim dividend of HKD0.70 per share (+17%), payable on 25 March 2026 (record date: 11 March 2026). By segment, pre-tax profit was HKD1.26 billion for Principal Investment, HKD572.54 million for Property Development and Investment, and HKD822.74 million from Financial Services (share of associate profits). Hospitality and Leisure recorded a pre-tax loss of HKD468.5 million, reflecting impairment provisions of about HKD1.27 billion at The Rank Group Plc linked to the UK Remote Gaming Duty increase (from 21% to 40% from April 2026) and other pressures; the period also included a HKD67.18 million loss related to a payment fraud incident in a subsidiary. In Property, management cited lower revenue recognition timing from Singapore residential developments, partly offset by higher hospitality revenue and a 5% rise in GuocoLand’s property investment revenue; GuocoLand also noted the Lentor Modern mall opened in January 2026, adding to recurring income as leases commence progressively.
