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.
-
First-half results met expectations despite a challenging market, with like-for-like occupancy down but improved conversion and retention rates. Cost efficiencies, asset disposals, and AI initiatives support recovery, while capital discipline and a stable dividend underpin shareholder value.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Adjusted profit and EPS rose slightly year-over-year despite a 2.4% property valuation decline and lower occupancy. Strategic focus is on operational excellence, capital recycling, and targeted CapEx to drive income growth and recover occupancy in a competitive London flex market.
-
Earnings and dividend growth continued despite a slight dip in rental income from disposals, with strong demand for smaller units and robust letting performance in refurbished spaces. Financial flexibility improved through extended debt maturities, and significant reversionary potential is expected to drive future growth.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Strong trading performance with 10% rent roll and 9% profit growth, despite a 9.5% property valuation drop. Dividend rose 9%, balance sheet remains robust, and future rent roll growth of 6% per annum is projected, supported by resilient SME demand and flexible leasing.
