Centuria Capital upgrades guidance on strong interim results

Australian real estate funds manager Centuria Capital Group (ASX:CNI) announced its interim financial results for the half-year ended Dec. 31, 2025, reporting a statutory net profit of $54.6 million.

Driven by robust performance in its property funds and real estate finance divisions, the group has upgraded its full-year 2026 operating earnings per security guidance to 13.6 cents, representing an 11.5% increase over the previous financial year.

Total assets under management reached a record $21.8 billion, a 5.8% rise from the $20.6 billion recorded at the close of FY25.

The group's growth was bolstered by $0.5 billion in real estate acquisitions during the period and a significant increase in alternative real estate sectors, which now constitute 27% of its total real estate AUM.

The expansion includes the strategic acquisition of Arrow Funds Management, which grew the group’s agricultural portfolio to $1.3 billion.

Operating earnings per security for the half-year stood at 6.6 cents, up 6.5% from the prior corresponding period, while an interim distribution of 5.2 cents per security was declared. 

Management attributed the results to a diversified business model and increased activity from a network of over 15,500 private investors. 

Centuria indicated it would continue to focus on digital infrastructure and agricultural platforms while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital management.

The group's distribution guidance for FY26 remains set at 10.4 cents per security.

At the time of reporting, Centuria Capital Group’s share price was $1.94.
