The Group’s diversification aims to align investments with evolving investor preferences.
ResetData, Centuria’s AI infrastructure joint venture, accelerated its deployment of GPU capacity, signing a deal with CDC Data Centres and securing $165 million in project financing. Management highlighted a 250MW+ pipeline for future data centre expansion, laying groundwork for expected revenue growth from AI and digital services.
A sizeable $300 million equity raise in the second half boosted liquidity, supporting both growth in real estate and scaling the ResetData JV. Centuria’s sustainability focus continued, aiming for 100% renewable electricity and strong employee engagement.
What did Centuria Capital Group management say?
John McBain, Centuria Joint CEO, said:
Centuria’s strong FY26 results are underpinned by the Group’s increased real estate activity over the period. Despite the prevailing economic and geopolitical conditions, these results were delivered through both organic acquisition growth and inorganic growth with the acquisition of the Arrow Primary Infrastructure Fund (“Arrow”), strengthening the diversification and capability of our platform.
What’s next for Centuria Capital Group?
Looking ahead, Centuria has provided FY27 guidance for ONPAT of $130 million, a 14% increase over FY26, and maintains a DPS forecast of 10.4 cents per security. The company expects EBIT to grow around 20%, powered by further real estate acquisitions and expansion of its AI infrastructure operations.
Management believes that the enlarged capital base and continued rollout of ResetData’s powered AI services will drive new customer revenue, with the growth impact expected to be most visible in the latter half of FY27 and into FY28.
