1H26 included the sell-down of inventory, inclusive of land and rental
income. Prior year revenue was higher due to completion and
settlement of two projects (The Point and Aurora), as well as settlement
of Civic Heart, which completed in Jun-24.
The reduction in Cost of Sales broadly in line with Revenue
Net revaluation reflects a decline in the valuation of the commercial
investment asset, partially offset by an increase in residential properties
that were all classified as Assets Held for Sale during the reporting
period.
The reductions in Other Income and Administration were predominantly
due to business restructuring (lower staffing costs).
Lower interest costs due to the full repayment of debt relating to assets
held for sale and partial repayment of debt relating to investment
assets.

1H26 FINANCIAL RESULTS
BALANCE SHEET
Total assets reduced primarily from stock and assets sell-downs and
investment property revaluation, partly offset by work-in-progress
(WIP) growth, land acquisitions, and cash.
Debt reduced following repayment of project loans and assets facility,
partially offset by new project funding for developments under
construction.
Cash increased primarily due to the sell-down of completed projects,
together with assets sale proceeds and rental income. The Group
maintains a strong cash position to support future land acquisitions.
NTA per share increased 2% to 93.4 cents, reflecting continued balance
sheet strength.
