Diversified funds management group Centuria Capital (ASX: CNI) today announced its results for the full year ended 30 June 2013.

Group CEO John McBain commented;

“The FY13 results mark a strong improvement over the previous year.

The direct property division, under CEO Direct Property Jason Huljich, had a very strong year with $171 million of acquisitions compared to $58 million for the FY12 period. In addition, the group continued its three level property growth strategy with the opening of its Singapore Office to focus on regional wholesale investors.

In May 2013 the group appointed Mr Nicholas Collishaw as CEO – Listed Property to establish a new listed property fund division.

Pleasingly, the group has now disposed of its last remaining legacy assets, being the investment properties at Moonah Links, Fingal and Pepper Sands Resort, Torquay with no adverse impact on the group’s earnings or balance sheet.

The financial services division has contributed strongly to the full year result. Centuria Life has seen stabilisation of total funds under administration and we are in the final stages of developing a new investment product which will highlight the attraction of our investment bonds as an alternative to traditional superannuation offerings.

In the Residential Mortgages business, the embedded equity for the Centuria shareholders continues to grow strongly now representing $40.1 million, a 21% increase over the previous year.”

Capital Management

In December 2012, the Company bought back and cancelled 4.2 million shares, reducing the shares on issue by 5.2%. In March 2013, the Company declared and paid a half year dividend of 1.25 cents per share franked to 100%.

The Company today announces that it will not pay a final dividend for the 2013 financial year as a result of expenses incurred in relation to the new Listed Property and Asian divisions.

“Whilst it is regrettable that the dividend stream has been interrupted during this period of exceptional growth, we have a clear growth strategy and the establishment of these new divisions primes Centuria for further expansion,” Mr McBain commented.
