Fiscal Year 2026
-
FY 2026 saw a 9.4% drop in trading profit and a 7.1% decline in net rental income, but the business remains stable and is repositioning for growth in the flex office market. The medium-term goal is to boost trading profit before interest by over 50% through targeted refurbishments, simplified pricing, and capital recycling.
-
Occupancy and rental income declined due to large customer exits and asset disposals, but cost savings, improved retention, and enhanced customer satisfaction signal early progress in the Fix, Accelerate, and Scale strategy. Capital discipline and targeted investments support recovery efforts.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Adjusted profit rose 1.2% to GBP 66.8 million, with a 1.4% dividend increase, despite occupancy falling to 83%. Strategic focus is on operational excellence, capital recycling, and targeting high-growth SME segments in London to rebuild occupancy and drive income-led growth.
-
Earnings and dividend growth continued, with trading profit up 5.1% and rental income up 5% year-over-year. Occupancy was temporarily impacted by large customer move-outs and refurbishments, but strong demand for smaller units and operational improvements support future growth.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Strong trading performance with 10% rent roll and 9% trading profit growth, despite a 9.5% property valuation decline. Robust balance sheet, high SME demand, and significant rent roll growth opportunities underpin positive outlook.
