Singapore’s JustCo Holdings Debuts on SGX, Targets 100+ APAC Centers by 2029

Founded and headquartered in Singapore, $JustCo(JCO.SI)$ is a leading flexible workspace platform operator across the APAC region. It has a multi-brand platform targeting three broad customer segments, ranging from startups, SMEs and Large Corporates requiring bespoke office environments.

Its brand portfolio comprises luxury offering The Collective; flagship and premium brand JustCo; and essentials brand the boring office, enabling it to address a wide spectrum of customer preferences and price points. Customers include global brands such as $Coupang, Inc.(CPNG)$ $DiDi Global Inc.(DIDIY)$ , $General Electric Co(GE-W)$ , Klook, $Moderna, Inc.(MRNA)$ , $Palo Alto Networks(PANW)$ , $Pinterest, Inc.(PINS)$ , $Tencent Holding Ltd.(TCEHY)$ , Tory Burch and $ZEEKR(ZK)$

JustCo has an established network of 54 Centres across 12 cities, namely Bangkok, Bengaluru, Gurugram, Ho Chi Minh City, Hsinchu, Melbourne, Osaka, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Taipei and Tokyo, offering a total of approximately 37,500 workstations, and a NLA of approximately 1.89 million square feet.

Its vision is to become the global benchmark for flexible workspace, and it plans to operate over 100 Centres in over 20 cities by 2029.

JustCo has a dual operating model comprising of a lease model and a management contract model. Under the lease model, JustCo leases space from landlords and funds all upfront capital investment and operates workspaces directly, capturing full operating upside while actively managing occupancy and cost efficiency. 

In the management contract model, JustCo operates workspaces under arrangements with landlords where it either (i) retains a portion of the revenue or operating profits as fees (or, in certain cases, pay a minimum base rent if the landlord’s share of revenue or operating profits fall below that base rent), (ii) receive recurring management fees, or (iii) pay fixed rent. Unlike the lease model, the landlord funds all or a substantial portion of the upfront capital investment. This asset-light model enables expansion with zero or partial upfront capital investment, reduces balance sheet risk and improves return on invested capital.

JustCo is offering 32.1 million shares at S$0.94 apiece, which includes 6.3 million shares by way of a public offer in Singapore. At the same time but separate from the offering, it has also entered into cornerstone agreements with cornerstone investors for the sale of 74.3 million shares. 

JustCo will raise gross proceeds of S$100 million from the offering and issuance of cornerstone shares, of which S$92.2 million are due to the company. Some S$81.7 million in net proceeds are intended to be used for strategic investments and capital expenditure to support expansion plans in new and existing markets.

Key Risks (Refer to page 51 of the IPO Offer Prospectus for the full list)

  • Any inability to identify and secure suitable buildings and properties for new Centres or co-living spaces in the future could adversely affect JustCo’s business, financial condition, cashflows, results of operations and prospects.

  • JustCo may face competition from other potential tenants for the premises as the renewal of leases and management contracts may be subject to renegotiation of rental rates, management fees, and other material terms at the relevant time.

  • JustCo’s lease obligations are generally medium- to long-term in nature, while most of their members enter into membership agreements with short-term commitments, which may expose them to occupancy and revenue volatility during the lease term.

Financial & Valuation 

  • JustCo’s revenue increased by 12.5% to US$144.2 million in FY2025 from US$128.2 million in FY2024, primarily driven by higher membership fees following acquisition of the remaining equity interests in their Japan operations with effect from 1 July 2025, as well as improved occupancy rates and a higher number of occupied workstations.

  • JustCo’s financial profile has strengthened, underpinned by robust revenue growth, margin expansion and a strong cash position of approximately US$104.0 million as at 31 December 2025.

  • JustCo’s Cash EBITDA – underlying operating cashflows generated by the business, after adjusting for non-cash, non-operating and one-off items – has been growing over the years. The Management considers this as a useful indicator of ability to generate recurring cashflow from core operations. Cash EBITDA margin expanded from 3.0% in 2023 to 9.4% in 2025. 

  • JustCo has not drawn down on loans from financial institutions since inception and hence does not have any outstanding external bank debt.
