Half-year Results

Summary by AI BETAClose X

Aseana Properties Limited reported a revenue of US$11.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2026, a slight increase from US$10.7 million in the prior year, driven by hotel operations and sales of The RuMa Residences units which generated US$2.4 million. The company experienced an operating loss of US$0.6 million, impacted by a US$0.8 million foreign exchange loss due to Malaysian Ringgit depreciation, though underlying operating profit was US$0.2 million. Finance costs were 41% lower due to a 2025 refinancing, and the net asset value stood at US$55.2 million, or US$0.19 per share. The Sandakan Hotel reopened in April 2026, and the company continues to focus on preserving cash and asset value.

·    Following the completion of refurbishment, the Sandakan Hotel reopened in April 2026 and remains in the early stages of increasing its occupancy.

·    The refinancing exercise completed in 2025 has continued to benefit the Group, with finance costs for H1 2026 being 41% lower than the prior period.

 

Financial highlights:

 

·    Revenue of US$11.0 million (H1 2025: US$10.7 million), comprising:

o hotel operations revenue of US$8.6 million; and

o sales of The RuMa Residences units of US$2.4 million (H1 2025 US$10.7 million).

·    The income from hotel operations have been recognised as revenue during the period following the change in use of the hotel assets as at 31 December 2025.

·    Cost of sales of US$3.1 million (H1 2025: US$9.3 million), reflecting a lower volume of The RuMa Residences units sold during the period. 

·    Other income of US$1.8 million (H1 2025: US$8.2 million), mainly comprising income from mall operations amounting to US$1.3 million (H12025: hotel operations of US$6.9 million and mall operations of US$1.2 million).

·    Operating loss of US$0.6 million reported (H1 2025: US$3.4 million profit) which includes a foreign exchange loss of US$0.8 million (H1 2025: US$7.5 million foreign exchange gain) due to the depreciation of the Malaysian Ringgit, in which all of the Group's assets are denominated.

·    Excluding the unrealised foreign exchange loss/gain, the Group reported an underlying operating profit of US$0.2 million (H1 2025: US$4.0 million underlying operating loss).

·    Loss after tax of US$1.1 million (H1 2025: Profit after tax of US$2.5 million), however, excluding the foreign exchange loss/gain as mentioned above, the loss after tax would be US$0.3 million (H1 2025: US$4.9 million).

·    Total comprehensive loss of US$0.8 million (H1 2025: US$2.5 million loss).

·    Net asset value of US$55.2 million (31 December 2025 (audited): US$55.9 million) or US$0.19 per share (31 December 2025 (audited): US$0.19 per share).

 

Commenting on the results, Lim Tian Huat, Chairman of Aseana, said:

 

"The first half of 2026 reflects the outcome of the Group's implementation of its business priorities of preserving cash, protecting the value of its remaining assets and reducing the cost of its debt. Following the completion of the refinancing in 2025, the Group's finance costs for H1 2026 fell by approximately 41% compared to the prior period. The Group also completed the sale of seven of The RuMa Residences units and the full redemption of the medium term notes during the period.

 

"The Sandakan Hotel re-opened in April 2026 after an extended period of closure and remains in the early stages of building up its occupancy. The RuMa Hotel and the Sandakan Harbour Mall both continued to perform steadily during the period. The Board recognises that there remains significant work ahead to further strengthen the Group's financial position and we will continue to update shareholders as this progresses."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

 

Introduction

 

The Directors hereby submit their report on the results of Aseana Properties Limited and its Group of companies for the six months ended 30 June 2026.

 

Interim results for the half year ended 30 June 2026

 

For the six months ended 30 June 2026, the Group recorded an unaudited operating revenue of US$11.0 million (H1 2025: US$10.7 million), mainly driven by revenue from The RuMa Hotel and Residences, including revenue from hotel operations and completion of sale of seven  RuMa Residence units.

 

The Group recorded an unaudited operating loss of US$0.6 million (H1 2025: US$3.4 million operating profit), driven by the reported foreign exchange loss of US$0.8 million due to depreciation of Malaysian Ringgit against reporting currency of US Dollars. Excluding the foreign exchange loss of US$0.8 million (H1 2025: US$7.5 million foreign exchange gain), the Group's underlying operating performance for H1 2026 improved to a profit of US$0.2 million (H1 2025: US$4.0 million underlying operating loss). Net finance costs decreased to US$0.5 million (H1 2025: US$0.9 million), a reduction of 41%, reflecting the benefit of the refinancing exercise completed in 2025. Loss after taxation for the period was US$1.1 million (H1 2025: profit after taxation of US$2.5 million). Excluding the foreign exchange loss/gain, the Group's underlying loss after tax was US$0.3 million (H1 2025: underlying loss after tax of US$4.9 million).

 

The Group's unaudited net asset value as at 30 June 2026 stood at US$55.2 million (31 December 2025 (audited): US$55.9 million) due to the marginal loss incurred during the first half period of 2026. This translated to 19 US cents per voting share (31 December 2025 (audited): 19 US cents).

 

Business focus and recent property divestments

 

The business focus for the Group remains preserving cash balances, safeguarding ownership of the remaining assets to prevent destruction of value from distressed sales of assets and continuing to strengthen the Group's financial position following the refinancing and capital-raisings completed in 2025. Asset divestment remains a strategic option to the Board, but in a measured manner so as not to compromise shareholder value.

 

During H1 2026, the Group has sold a total of seven units of The RuMa Residences for total gross proceeds of RM9.6 million (approximately US$2.4 million), with the funds being utilised towards redeeming the medium term notes.

 

Following the completion of extensive refurbishment works required after its closure in mid-2020 (including rectification of defects, servicing of mechanical, electrical and plant equipment, refresh of interior design elements, and replacement of furniture, fixtures, operating equipment and supplies), the Sandakan Hotel re-opened in April 2026 and is in the early stages of ramping up its occupancy following its re-opening.

 

The Group continues to work on improving the performance of its operating assets, including The RuMa Hotel and the Sandakan Harbour Mall and Hotel, both of which continued to perform steadily during H1 2026. The Group notes that the broader regional tourism and hospitality industry was affected during the period by the conflict in the Middle East, which disrupted international flight networks and travel sentiment, particularly among long-haul visitors to Malaysia. The Group's hotel operations were not immune to these wider industry headwinds, however, proactive efforts by the Board including a sharper focus on domestic and regional visitor segments has helped to dampen the impact of the conflict in the Middle East on the Group's H1 2026 results.

 

Acknowledgements

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues on the Board and throughout our Group and our external advisers, bankers and service providers for their tireless efforts on behalf of the Group and its Shareholders.

 

Thank you.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2026

 

1        GENERAL INFORMATION

 

The principal activities of the Group were the development of upscale residential and hospitality projects in Malaysia. The Group remains focused on preserving cash balances, safeguarding ownership of the remaining assets to prevent destruction of value from distressed force sale activities. Asset divestment remains a strategic option to the Board, but in a measured manner so as not to compromise shareholder value.

 

2        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

2.1     BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2026 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

 

Taxes on income in the interim period are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

 

The interim results have not been audited nor reviewed and do not constitute statutory financial statements.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.  Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

 

The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 as described in those annual financial statements.

 

The interim report and financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 18 August 2026.

 



 

3        SEGMENTAL INFORMATION

 

Segmental information represents the level at which financial information is reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision makers as defined in IFRS 8.  The Directors determine the operating segments based on reports reviewed and used by their staff for strategic decision making and resource allocations.  For management purposes, the Group is organised into project units.

 

The Group's reportable operating segments are as follows:

(i)         Investment Holding Companies - investing activities;

(ii)        Ireka Land Sdn. Bhd. - developed Tiffani ("Tiffani") by i-ZEN;

(iii)       ICSD Ventures Sdn. Bhd. - owns and operates Sandakan Harbour Mall ("HMS") and the Sandakan Hotel asset ("SHA");

(iv)       Amatir Resources Sdn. Bhd. - developed SENI Mont' Kiara ("SENI");

(v)        The RuMa Hotel KL Sdn. Bhd. - operates The RuMa Hotel and Residences ("The RuMa"); and

(vi)       Urban DNA Sdn. Bhd. - developed The RuMa Hotel and Residences ("The RuMa").

   

Other non-reportable segments comprise the Group's development projects.  None of these segments meets any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments in 2026 and 2025.

 

Information regarding the operations of each reportable segment is included below.  The Board of Directors monitors the operating results of each segment for the purpose of performance assessments and making decisions on resource allocation.  Performance is based on segment gross profit/(loss) and profit/(loss) before taxation, which the Directors believes are the most relevant in evaluating the results relative to other entities in the industry.  Segment assets and liabilities are presented inclusive of inter-segment balances and inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.

 

The Group's revenue generating development projects are in Malaysia.
