4. Key Performance Drivers
Hily Holding's H1 2026 performance was supported by higher rental income from its investment property portfolio and stronger earnings from associates, particularly its investment in Waha Capital. The Group also benefited from an impairment reversal on its associate investment. However, lower fair value gains and reduced investment income from financial assets, together with weaker revenue from contracts with customers, moderated overall profitability compared with the previous year.
5. Outlook & Forward Guidance
Management stated that the Group continues to operate normally despite ongoing regional geopolitical developments, with no material impact on its financial position or liquidity. Hily Holding remains focused on expanding its investment property portfolio, maintaining adequate funding resources and pursuing long-term value creation through its diversified investment strategy.
6. Investor Takeaway
Hily Holding delivered a resilient first-half performance despite a softer investment environment. Supported by growing recurring rental income, strong associate contributions, a solid balance sheet and continued investment in strategic assets, the Group remains well positioned to create sustainable long-term value for shareholders.
