Centuria Capital Announces 1H16 Interim Results

Sydney, 18 February 2016: Specialist investment manager Centuria Capital (ASX: CNI) today announced results for the half year ended 31 December 2015 and declared a fully franked dividend of 2.25 cents per share.

2016 Interim Results

2016 Interim Results
	1H16	1H15	Change
Statutory net profit after tax	$5.7m	$7.6m	(25.5%)
Statutory earnings per share (basic)	7.4c	9.8c	(24.5%)
Underlying net profit after tax	$4.4m	$5.4m	(17.3%)
Underlying earnings per share (basic)	5.8c	6.9c	(15.9%)
Dividend per share (fully franked)	2.25c	2.0c	12.5%

Net Tangible Assets per share grew from 30 June 2015 5.5% to $0.91 cents.

As previously announced, the full year underlying NPAT is likely to lie within the range of $9.0 million to $10.5 million, compared with FY15 underlying NPAT of $6.3 million.

Group CEO John McBain commented “We have experienced 14.6% growth in the Group’s funds under management to $1.8 million and we are pleased to confirm a 2.25 cent interim dividend”.

Centuria’s experience in Property Funds Management has resulted in the strong growth in 1H16. This division continued to build an impressive pipeline during the period, acquiring 203 Pacific Highway St Leonard’s, Sydney for $86 million. Centuria Metropolitan REIT (CMA) acquired 50% interest in the asset and Centuria 203 Pacific Highway Fund acquired the other 50% interest.

Mr McBain said “The acquisition of 203 Pacific Highway demonstrates the depth of Centuria’s business, which can be leveraged to ensure a positive outcome for all investors across the listed and unlisted platform.”

“The Australian Technology Park acquisition of $104 million further grew the division’s pipeline. The Centuria ATP Fund was launched earlier this month and had an overwhelming take up from Investors. The asset is expected to settle in in current financial period.

The period also saw the sale of 175 Castlereagh Street, Sydney for $98 million and the conditional sale of Macquarie Park properties for $101 million, both transactions resulting in excellent return for investors and substantial profits and performance fees for Centuria.

Mr McBain said “Active transaction flow ensures steady increase in funds under management, whilst triggering substantial investor profits and fees to Centuria.”
