- NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- General information
- Far East Orchard Limited (the "Company") is listed on the Singapore Exchange and incorporated and domiciled in Singapore. These condensed interim financial statements as at and for the six months and full year ended 31 December 2025 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group"). The principal activities of the Company are investment holding, hotel operations and property investment. The principal activities of the Group are investment holding, ownership and management of hospitality properties and purpose-built student accommodation ("PBSA") properties, property development and property investment.
- Basis of preparation
- The condensed interim financial statements as at and for the six months and full year ended 31 December 2025 have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) ("SFRS(I)") 1-34 Interim Financial Reportingissued by the Accounting Standards Committee and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at and for the financial year ended 31 December 2024. The condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance of the Group since the last annual financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2024. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those disclosed in the Group's annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024 which were prepared in accordance with SFRS(I), except for the adoption of new and amended standards as set out in Note 2.1. The condensed interim financial statements are presented in Singapore dollar, which is the Company's functional currency.
- New and amended standards adopted by the Group
- On 1 January 2025, the Group has adopted the new or amended SFRS(I) and Interpretations of SFRS(I) ("INT SFRS(I)") that are mandatory for application for the financial year. Changes to the Group's accounting policies have been made as required, in accordance with the transitional provisions in the respective SFRS(I) and INT SFRS(I). The adoption of these new or amended SFRS(I) and INT SFRS(I) did not result in substantial changes to the Group's accounting policies and had no material effect on the financial statements.
- Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements
- In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income, and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024. Estimates, assumptions and judgements are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and various other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances. Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next interim period are included in the following notes:
- Notes 9 and 10 - Valuation of investment properties and land and buildings classified under property, plant and equipment using significant unobservable inputs
- Note 11 - Impairment assessment of goodwill: key assumptions underlying recoverable amounts
- Seasonal operations

- Interest income from bank deposits declined for the six months and full year ended 31 December 2025 due to lower bank deposits and reduced interest rates.
- Interest expense on bank borrowings, after including
effects of cash flow
hedges, increased for the six months and full year ended 31 December
2025 due to the expiration of a low-rate fixed interest hedge on certain
borrowings in December 2024.
- Government grant income declined for the six months and full year ended 31 December 2025 due to lesser grants received from the Singapore government.
- Impairment charge was recognised on a mixed development held for sale in the UK based on its net realisable value. The net realisable value was derived with reference to indicative market price as at 31 December 2025.
- A one-off gain on the acquisition of additional interest in a property joint venture in Singapore was recognised during the full year ended 31 December 2025 as the purchase consideration was lower than the fair value of the additional share of net assets acquired (Note 8(b)).
- A one-off gain in relation to the re-measurement of the Group's previously held 49% equity interest in Homes for Students Limited was recognised following completion of the second stage of the phased acquisition (Note 8(c)).
- A gain on disposal of a hotel property in Perth, Australia of $5,867,000 was recognised in 2024 subsequent to the completion of the sale in December 2024.

- Investments in associated companies and joint ventures
- The Group holds a 36.5% interest in FE UK Student Accommodation Development Fund ("the Fund"). The Fund was established in August 2024 and achieved its final closing in June 2025 with total committed capital of £96.0 million. The Group's investment is accounted for as a joint venture.
- As at 31 December 2025, the Group had committed £35.0
million to the Fund,
of which £10,826,000 (approximately $18,754,000) was injected as capital. The remaining
committed capital, based
on the Group's proportionate interest, amounted to £24,174,000 (approximately $41,876,000).
- On 24 January 2025, the Group through its wholly owned subsidiary, acquired additional 6.7% interest (the "WS Acquisition") in Woodlands Square Pte. Ltd, ("WSPL") for $25.0 million from one of its joint venture partners ("Seller"). 26.6% interest in WSPL held by Seller was sold to the other existing joint venture partner ("Partner"). Subsequent to the WS Acquisition, the Group's interest in WSPL increased from 33.3% to 40.0% while the Partner holds the remaining 60.0% interest. As the purchase consideration was below the fair value of the additional share of net assets acquired, a one-off gain of $9,122,000 was recognised in "Other gains/(losses) and impairment losses - net" (Note 5.1(d)). With the loss of joint control following the Partner's increase in interest in WSPL to 60%, WSPL was reclassified from a joint venture to an associate.
- On 30 September 2025, the Group completed the second stage of the phased acquisition of its interest in Homes for Students Limited ("HFS"), increasing its equity interest from 49% to 84% and resulting in the Group obtaining control over HFS. As such, HFS was reclassified from an associate to a subsidiary and the Group's previously held equity interest in HFS was remeasured to fair value, with reference to the purchase consideration, resulting in a gain on remeasurement of $19,783,000 that was recognised in profit or loss under "Other gains/(losses) and impairment losses
- - net" (Note 5.1(e)). Further details of the acquisition are set out in Note
19. E. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
- Investments in associated companies and joint ventures (continued)
- On 21 June 2024, the Group announced that Far East Opus Pte. Ltd. ("FEOpus"), a joint venture entity in which the Group holds a 20% interest in, was served with legal claims in the High Court of Singapore on 31 May 2024 by some unit owners ("claimants") of SBF Center, a commercial development completed in 2016. FEOpus disputes these claims and believes they are without merit. As announced on 10 June 2025, FEOpus succeeded in its appeal to strike out one claimant's application. As this was a test case, subject to any further appeal, the Court's findings on the law will be binding on all the other claimants. On 24 July 2025, the claimant in the test case filed a further appeal against the Court's decision. The matter is currently before the Court of Appeal.
- Even if the claimants are successful in their claims,
the maximum potential
financial exposure estimated is not expected to have a material impact on
the Group's financial position and ability to continue its existing business
operations. As at 31 December 2025, no provision has therefore been made
on the claims.
- In March 2022, a claim was lodged against a subsidiary of a joint venture, Toga Hotel Holdings Unit Trust ("Toga Trust"), alleging underpayment of rent for a lease, wrongful termination of the lease and repudiation of the lease. As at 31 December 2024, no provision has been made as the legal advice obtained by the joint venture entity indicates that it is not probable that a material liability will arise. In September 2025, subsequent to a court judgment issued against Toga Trust, a one-off recognition of the liability in relation to this claim has been recognised accordingly.
- During the financial year ended 31 December 2025, the Group extended advances of £350,000 ($608,000) to a joint venture developing a purpose-built student accommodation project in Bristol, UK. The Group will provide additional funding of £408,000 (approximately $706,000), if called.

Valuation processes, techniques and inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements
The Group engages external, independent and qualified valuers to determine the fair value of its investment properties on an annual basis or whenever there are indicators that carrying amounts may differ materially from fair values, based on the properties' highest and best use. Management reviews the valuation reports, assesses movements against prior year valuations and discusses key assumptions with the independent valuers.The Group's investment properties and land and buildings classified under property, plant and equipment (Note 10) are measured at fair value using valuation techniques that incorporate significant unobservable inputs and are therefore categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The valuation techniques applied include sales comparison, discounted cash flow, and income capitalisation methods.
In assessing whether the fair values remained appropriate, management considered whether any movement in market data, such as discount rates, capitalisation rates, changes in underlying cash flows or sales comparable adopted in the valuations are reasonable. There have been no significant changes in the valuation methodologies used by the valuers compared to the last financial year-end.
As at 31 December 2025, the fair value of the investment properties amounted to $1,030,534,000 (31 December 2024:
$1,011,382,000).

E. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)- Property, plant and equipment (continued)
- Valuation processes, techniques and inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements
- The Group engages external, independent and qualified valuers to determine the fair value of the Group's land and buildings classified as property, plant and equipment, on an annual basis and whenever their carrying amounts are likely to differ materially from their revalued amounts, based on the properties' highest and best use. At the end of each financial reporting period, management assesses whether the fair values of the Group's properties remain appropriate and engages external, independent and qualified valuers when deemed necessary. The valuation techniques applied incorporate significant unobservable inputs and the resulting fair value measurements are categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. External valuers were engaged for all valuations of the Group's properties as at 31 December 2025. The valuation techniques and key unobservable inputs used were consistent with those applied in the previous financial year. As at 31 December 2025, the total freehold and leasehold land and buildings of the Group amounted to $455,758,000 (31 December 2024: $466,604,000).
- Intangible assets
- Intangible assets include goodwill on acquisitions, acquired management contracts and customer relationships. Goodwill includes (i) $37,257,000 allocated to the Management services cash-generating-unit ("CGU") within the Group's hospitality business and (ii) $62,957,000 arising from the acquisition of Homes for Students Limited ("HFS"), under Operations within the Student Accommodation business (Note 19).
- Goodwill of $37,257,000 is allocated to the Management services cash-generating-unit ("CGU") within the Group's hospitality business. For the impairment assessment as at 31 December 2025, the recoverable amount of the Management services CGU was determined based on fair value less cost to sell ("FVLCTS"), which was computed using the average of the values derived Discounted Cash Flow method and Guideline Public Company method (Level 3 valuation techniques) based on management's estimates. For further information, please refer to Note 23(a) in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
- Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets were recognised on the acquisition of Homes for Students Limited following the completion of the purchase price allocation exercise. The residual goodwill is subject to annual impairment testing. As at 31 December 2025, management has assessed that the recoverable amount of goodwill arising from the acquisition approximates its carrying value given the completion date is close to year-end. Further details on the goodwill and identifiable intangible assets are disclosed in Note 19.
- Based on management's assessment of the recoverable
amount as at 31
December 2025, no impairment charge was recognised.

- The table below presents assets and liabilities recognised and measured at fair value and classified by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
- quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
- inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices) (Level 2); and
- inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).
- Fair value measurement disclosure of other assets that

- The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and
transfers out of fair
value hierarchy level as at the end of the reporting year. There were no
transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the year. The fair values of current financial assets and liabilities
carried at amortised
cost approximate their carrying amounts. Derivative financial
instruments Derivative financial instruments comprise interest rate
swaps designated as
cash flow hedges of floating rate borrowings. These instruments are measured at fair value at each
reporting date and are
classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as their fair values are
determined using valuation techniques with observable market inputs,
including forward interest rates and yield curves. Financial asset, at FVOCI For the investment classified as FVOCI, it is an unlisted
equity security
measured at fair value at each reporting period. The Group estimates the
fair value of its unlisted equity security classified as FVOCI based on its
share of the investee company's net asset value ("NAV"), which is a
significant unobservable input. NAV is determined by reference to the
attributable net assets of the investee company based on the latest available
financial statements, adjusted, where applicable, for valuations of the
underlying investment properties held by the investee determined primarily
by independent and professional valuers. Management reviews the
appropriateness of the methodologies used to determine NAV, and
evaluates the appropriateness and reliability of inputs (including those
developed internally by management) used in the determination of NAV. E. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- Segment information
- For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group has updated its reportable segments and restated the comparatives to better reflect the business activities of the Group and in accordance with how the Group's Group Chief Executive Officer assesses the operating segments' results. With the expansion of the Group's student accommodation business following the acquisition of Homes for Students Limited, a UK-based operator, the reportable segment under the student accommodation business has been expanded into two segments to include both the property ownership and operations segments. The freehold and leasehold land of a hotel in Singapore is classified under the property development segment, as it is held for future use. Further, certain corporate expenses have been re-classified under the respective reportable segments to better reflect the costs supporting the business segments. The Group operates its hospitality business across three segments.
- Management services
- The management services segment includes all of the
hospitality properties
that the Group manages directly in Singapore, Japan, and Malaysia.

Singapore, Japan and
Australia and the Group's investment in Toga Hotel Holdings Unit Trust and the REIT Manager
of Far East Hospitality
Trust.

- Operations
The operations segment comprises the Group's investment in a United Kingdom-based operator of purpose-built student accommodation, which is accounted for as an associate prior to 30 September 2025 and subsequently consolidated (Note 8(c)).

- Business combination
On 30 September 2025, the Group acquired additional 35% interest in its associate, Homes for Students Limited ("HFS"), increasing its interest from 49% to 84% and resulting in the Group obtaining control over HFS. HFS is an entity incorporated in the United Kingdom with its principal activity being management of Purpose-Built Student Accommodation. As part of the acquisition, the Group also entered into a call and put option agreement with the non-controlling shareholders to acquire the remaining 16% shares not owned by the Group (Note (e)).
Details of the consideration paid, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the effects of the cash flows of the Group, at completion date, are as follows:
- Purchase consideration
- $'000 Cash consideration paid 37,165 Contingent consideration
5,579 Total consideration transferred for the businesses 42,744 The contingent consideration payable is subject to conditions
to be met and
expected to be paid in March 2026. The fair value of the contingent
consideration is determined based on the forecasted cost savings that will
be achieved.

acquisition date (39,594) Add: Non-controlling interest
6,330 Goodwill arising from acquisition 62,957 The goodwill of $62,957,000 arising from the acquisition
is in relation to the
benefit of expected synergies, technology innovation and the assembled
workforce of HFS upon attaining control. These benefits were not
recognised separately from goodwill because they do not meet the
recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. The Group has recognised a put option liability of $17,461,000
granted to the
non-controlling interest ("NCI") to sell their remaining 16% interest to the
Group, that is exercisable after 2 November 2030, based on the present
value of the redemption value in "Other payables". The
anticipated-acquisition method has been elected to account for the NCI
subject to put option, where the interest of NCI holding the written put option
amounting to $6,330,000, which was determined based on the proportionate
share of HFS' net assets, is derecognised when the financial liability is
recognised. The difference in the carrying value of the financial liability and
the non-controlling interest amounting to $11,131,000 at completion date has been recognised in
"Other reserves".
- Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group
HFS contributed $58,127,000 and $1,539,000 to the Group's revenue and profit after income tax respectively, for the period between the date of acquisition and the reporting date. If the acquisition of HFS had been completed on the first day of the financial year, the Group revenue for the year would have been $384,076,000 and Group's profit after income tax would have been $56,416,000.
- Event occurring after balance sheet date
- Subsequent to year-end, the Group entered into a sales agreement for the sale of its mixed-use development held for sale in UK. As at 31 December 2025, the mixed-use development was carried at its net realisable value after recognition of an impairment charge (see note 5.1(c)).
- The Company's subsidiary, Homes for Students Limited ("HFS"), has received a Letter Before Action dated 13 February 2026 from an existing client of HFS ("Client"). The Letter Before Action states that the Client had been the subject of a cyber-fraud incident, and alleged that HFS should make payment of approximately £4.74 million ("Claim Amount") to the Client in connection with the incident. No formal action has been filed by the Client against HFS to date. Based on preliminary external legal advice, HFS has been advised that there are grounds to successfully defend the allegations in the Letter Before Action. HFS will, in consultation with its legal advisers, vigorously defend against the allegations in the Letter Before Action and any potential proceedings which may arise out of the allegations. If the Client commences formal action and is successful for the full Claim Amount, the Claim Amount is expected to result in adverse financial impact to the Group's profitability. The Group's (including HFS') IT systems and networks are completely independent from those of the Client and have not been impacted by the said cyber-fraud incident suffered by the Client. As at 31 December 2025, no provision has been made in relation to this claim.

- Review of performance of the Group
- Group performance review for the six months and full year ended 31 December 2025 ("2H FY25" and "FY25")
Revenue
Revenue for 2H FY25 increased by $61.8 million (65.3%) to $156.3 million (2H FY24: $94.5 million). For FY25, revenue increased by $55.7 million (29.1%) to $247.6 million (FY24: $191.9 million).For both 2H FY25 and FY25, the increase in revenue was mainly attributable to consolidation of revenue from Homes for Students Limited ("HFS") into the PBSA business segment, following the completion of the second stage of the phased acquisition of the UK-based PBSA operator on 30 September 2025. Revenue from the Group's PBSA owned portfolio saw marginal decline due to lower occupancy rate in certain cities. As at 31 December 2025, the Group's PBSA portfolio occupancy for academic year which commenced in September 2025 ("AY25/26) was 88% (AY24/25: 92%).
In 2H FY25, revenue from the hospitality business also increased by $4.1 million to $69.0 million (2H FY24: $64.9 million), mainly driven by better performance in Japan from higher room rates and additional fee contributions from newly opened hotels in Japan.
For FY25, the increase in revenue from the PBSA business was partially offset by lower revenue from the Group's hospitality business segment. Hospitality revenue declined by $3.4 million to $124.7 million (FY24: $128.1 million), mainly due to weaker performance from owned hotels in Australia and leased properties in Singapore. An owned hotel in Australia was negatively impacted by ongoing refurbishment works which commenced in October 2024. In addition, a leased property in Singapore was affected by surrounding construction works. The absence of contribution from a hotel property divested in December 2024 further contributed to the decline. The lower revenue was partially offset by better performance in Japan and contributions from newly opened leased properties in Japan.
Gross profit Gross profit increased by $14.0 million (29.9%) to $60.8 million in 2H FY25 (2H FY24: $46.8 million) and $12.8 million (13.1%) to $111.1 million in FY25 (FY24: $98.3 million) mainly due to the increase in revenue, partially offset by the higher amortisation expense of intangibles recognised in cost of sales following completion of stage two acquisition of HFS. Expenses Total expenses increased by $9.2 million to $40.2 million in 2H FY25 (2H FY24: $31.0 million). For FY25, total expenses increased by $10.4 million to $67.5 million (FY24: $57.1 million), mainly due to higher administrative expenses arising from higher operating costs for the PBSA portfolio, and the consolidation of HFS expenses following the completion of the stage two acquisition, partially mitigated by lower allowance for impairment losses on trade receivables.Distribution and marketing expenses were also higher by $0.1 million and $0.6 million in 2H FY25 and FY25, respectively, due to increased marketing efforts for the hospitality management services segment.
Other income Other income, comprising mainly interest income from bank deposits and grant income, declined by $1.0 million to $3.1 million in 2H FY25 (2H FY24: $4.1 million) and $2.7 million to $5.9 million in FY25 (FY24: $8.6 million) due to the lower interest income, arising from lower bank deposit balances and deposit rates, as well as lesser grants received from the Singapore government. This was partially offset by the distribution income received from FVOCI. Finance expenses Finance expenses increased by $2.4 million to $19.5 million in 2H FY25 (2H FY24: $17.1 million) and by $4.2 million to$38.4 million in FY25 (FY24: $34.2 million), mainly due to higher borrowing costs following the expiry of fixed-rate interest swaps in December 2024.
Other gains/(losses) and impairment losses - net The Group recognised net gains of $23.2 million in 2H FY25 (2H FY24: $24.9 million) and $33.9 million in FY25 (FY24:$26.8 million). The lower net gains in both periods were mainly due to lower net fair value gains on investment properties, partially offset by one-off gains and positive unrealised currency translation effects.
F. OTHER INFORMATION REQUIRED BY LISTING RULE APPENDIX 7.2 (continued)- Review of performance of the Group (continued)
- Group performance review for the six months and full year ended 31 December 2025 ("2H FY25" and "FY25")
- (continued) Other gains/(losses) and impairment losses -
net (continued) Fair value gains on investment properties amounted to
$7.7 million in 2H
FY25 and $8.0 million in FY25, lower compared to 2H FY24 and FY24
(fair value gains of $32.3 million). The lower gains were mainly due to net
fair value losses on the PBSA portfolio, partially offset by valuation uplift
of the freehold and leasehold land in Singapore and the medical suites. In January 2025, the Group recognised a one-off gain
of $9.1 million
arising from the acquisition of an additional stake in a property joint
venture ("WS Acquisition"), as the purchase consideration was below the
fair value of the acquired net assets. In 2H FY25, a $19.8 million gain on
remeasurement of the previously held 49% equity interest in HFS was
recognised, following the completion of the second stage of the phased
acquisition where the Group increased its equity interest to 84%. An unrealised currency translation gain of $1.4 million
was recognised in
2H FY25 (2H FY24: loss of $10.0 million), and $2.4 million in FY25 (FY24: loss of $8.1 million), arising
mainly from the
strengthening of AUD and GBP against SGD. In addition, included in "Other gains/(losses)
and impairment losses - net "
in 2H FY25 and FY25 was an impairment charge of $5.7 million (2H FY24
and FY24: $3.1 million) on a mixed-use development held for sale, based
on its net realisable value. In FY24, the Group recognised a $5.9 million
gain on the disposal of a hotel property in Perth, Australia. Share of profit/loss of associated companies
and joint ventures The Group's share of profit of associated companies
increased to $7.6
million in 2H FY25 (2H FY24: $2.5 million) and $14.6 million for FY25
(FY24: $4.8 million), mainly due to contributions from a property joint
venture in Singapore that was reclassified as an investment in associated
companies following the WS Acquisition (Note 8(b)). The increase was
further supported by a higher share of profits from the incremental
shareholding acquired after the WS Acquisition. The Group's share of profit of joint ventures was $1.0
million in 2H FY25
(2H FY24: $19.8 million). For FY25, the share of loss of joint ventures
amounted to $0.5 million (FY24: share of profit of $25.7 million). The
decline was mainly due to fair value losses recognised by a PBSA joint
venture, compared to fair value gains in the preceding year. Contributions
from hospitality joint ventures in Australia and Europe were also lower due
to weaker European performance (stronger event calendars in Europe in
2024) and the impact of a cyber incident in March 2025 and a one-off
legal liability recognised. In addition, there was an absence of profit
contribution following the reclassification of the property joint venture to an
associated company in January 2025. Income tax expense Income tax expense in 2H FY25 and FY25 was lower primarily
due to
higher deferred tax recognised on the higher fair value gains of
investment properties in 2H FY24 and FY24. Profit after income tax and Profit attributable
to equity holders of the
Company The Group reported a profit after income tax of $36.7
million in 2H FY25,
compared to $41.6 million in 2H FY24. For FY25, profit after income tax
was $54.8 million (FY24: $61.3 million). The decrease was mainly due to
lower profit contributions from the hospitality business segment, higher
finance costs and lower net fair value gains on investment properties,
partially offset by higher contributions from newly acquired business, HFS
and the property segments, and one-off gains. Profit attributable to equity holders of the Company
amounted to $34.4
million in 2H FY25, compared to $40.7 million in 2H FY24. For FY25,
profit attributable to equity holders was $54.0 million, compared to $59.0
million in FY24.
- Cash flow, working capital, assets or liabilities of the Group
Cash flow and working capital
In FY25, the Group utilised cash and cash equivalents amounting to $20.5 million, compared to $18.8 million in FY24. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to cash outflows for the WS Acquisition.Net cash generated from operating activities in FY25 amounted to $53.7 million, compared to $55.5 million in FY24, was flat against prior year.
F. OTHER INFORMATION REQUIRED BY LISTING RULE APPENDIX 7.2 (continued)- Review of performance of the Group (continued)
- (b) Cash flow, working capital, assets or liabilities of the Group (continued)
- Cash flow and working capital (continued)
- Net cash used in investing activities was $32.9 million in FY25, compared to $10.4 million in FY24. Cash outflows in FY25 were mainly related to the WS Acquisition, the stage 2 acquisition of HFS and additional capital contributions to a student accommodation development fund (the "Fund"). This was partially offset by consolidation of HFS' cash balances, dividends received and advances from the hospitality joint ventures (the advances would be converted to dividends upon finalisation of the joint ventures' profits). In FY24, investing cash outflows was mainly related to the stage 1 acquisition of HFS and investments in the Fund, partially offset by advances and dividends from joint ventures and proceeds from the sale of a hotel property. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $41.3 million in FY25, compared to $63.9 million in FY24 due to lower borrowings in FY24. The cash outflows in FY25 were mainly due to draw down of borrowings to fund the Group's investment in the Fund, the stage 2 acquisition of HFS, repayment of advances to a non-controlling interest, interest payments on borrowings, and cash dividend payouts to shareholders. Assets As at 31 December 2025, total assets stood at $2,764.8 million, an increase of $123.3 million from 31 December 2024. The increase primarily driven by the consolidation of HFS following the completion of the second stage of the phased acquisition and the recognition of goodwill and intangible assets arising from the acquisition. The Group's investment in associated companies increased due to the reclassification of an investment in a property joint venture to investment in an associated company following the WS Acquisition, partially offset by the derecognition of HFS as an associate upon its classification as a subsidiary following the second stage acquisition. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in investments in joint ventures arising from the reclassification and dividend declarations by joint ventures. Property, plant and equipment decreased mainly due to a revaluation loss arising from a lower valuation of freehold and leasehold land in Singapore, partly offset by additions from capital expenditure relating to refurbishment works in an Australian hotel. Cash balances also decreased mainly due to the $25.0 million payment for the WS Acquisition, the $22.6 million cash dividend payout to shareholders, and repayments of $9.8 million of advances to a non-controlling interest, offset by advances from hospitality joint ventures and the consolidation of HFS' cash balances. Liabilities As at 31 December 2025, the Group's total liabilities amounted to $1,339.5 million, an increase of $94.2 million from 31 December 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher trade and other payables arising from the consolidation of HFS, as well as an increase in non-current other payables mainly due to the recognition of a put option liability over the remaining 16% interest in HFS. Borrowings also increased due to drawdowns to fund the Group's capital injection into the student accommodation development fund joint venture and the second stage acquisition of HFS. These increases were partially offset by the repayment of advances to a non-controlling interest and the declaration of dividends against advances from the hospitality joint ventures during the year.

FEOR30 Strategy & Overall Outlook
The Group has commenced its next five-year strategy, FEOR30, focusing on strengthening and scaling an integrated lodging platform established under its FEOR25 strategy, to build earnings resilience and grow recurring income. This will be supported by disciplined capital allocation, selective use of third-party capital, and continued optimisation of the Hospitality and PBSA portfolios.
Global conditions in 2026 are expected to remain challenging, with risks from trade and geopolitical uncertainties, potential market volatility, and financing cost pressures1, which may moderate short-term performance. Against this backdrop, the Group remains focused on executing FEOR30 to scale its lodging platform for sustainable long-term growth.

(continued)
- Hospitality Global tourism is projected to grow at a normalised pace of 3% to 4% in 2026, supported by consumer demand and air connectivity. Operating conditions across markets are expected to remain mixed, reflecting ongoing cost pressures2 and geopolitical uncertainties. In Singapore, the hospitality sector is expected to benefit from a pipeline of major leisure and MICE-related events.3 However, short-term performance may be moderated by cost pressures and competitive dynamics. In Japan, following a record-breaking 2025 fuelled by post-COVID recovery and the Osaka Expo (42.7 million foreign visitors), the hospitality sector is expected to moderate in 20264. While ADRs will remain high, growth is expected to be lower than 2025 levels as demand stabilises. Ongoing political tensions between Japan and China have led to a decline in Chinese arrivals since November 2025, which may affect short-term performance. However, Japan's underlying fundamentals, international MICE pipeline, and a relatively weaker Yen remain supportive of the hospitality sector. Australia's tourism recovery to continue in 2026, with international visitor numbers projected to return to pre-COVID levels and domestic visitors are expected to grow modestly.5 Continued growth in international tourism and major events in key cities, along with the expansion of aviation capacity and the opening of Western Sydney Airport, is expected to support demand. However, ongoing refurbishment works at certain Group's properties are expected to temper short-term performance but support longer-term competitiveness. UK PBSA The UK PBSA sector in 2026 is expected to normalise following several years of elevated growth. UCAS' January 2026 cycle data showed a 3.1% year-on-year increase in university applicants to 619,360, with international applicants rising to 124,830 (+5.1%), of which China (+10%) remains the top source. Applicants to higher-ranking universities continued to increase compared to lower-ranking universities6. While structural demand fundamentals remain supportive overall, rental growth has moderated. Certain cities face more challenges due to less favourable demand-supply dynamics, resulting in lower occupancy. Development activities continue to be constrained by high construction costs and regulatory requirements7, limiting the delivery of new supply in the short-term compared to pre-COVID-19 levels. The Group remains cognisant of current market conditions and will focus on operational efficiency and cost discipline, supported by HFS capabilities, while continuing to build fund management capabilities to pursue selective growth opportunities and enhance portfolio flexibility.
