Group CEO John McBain commented;
“The FY14 results are in line with expectations, marking another solid improvement over the previous year.
The property division had a very strong year, contributing $5.0m profit before tax to the Group result. Under CEO Jason Huljich, the Unlisted fund division acquired Centuria’s largest property purchase to date and transacted 17 asset sales throughout the portfolio to increase the average property value to $31.3m per asset (2013: $22.4m per asset). The Group continued to implement its three level property growth strategy following the 2013 appointment of Mr Nicholas Collishaw as CEO – Listed Property to establish a new listed property fund division and the first significant wholesale investment was sourced through Centuria’s Singapore Office.
The Centuria Life division continues to contribute strongly to the Group results. Centuria Life has seen modest growth in total funds under management and has launched its latest investment product under the TaxAstute Series in August 2014.
Centuria remains focused on expanding these two core operating divisions, whilst carrying out a strategic review process on its non-core assets with announcements due shortly.”
