ASX RELEASE
13 MAY 2025
PRELIMINARY PORTFOLIO VALUATION UPDATE
Further to the announcement on 16 April 2025, Abacus Storage King (ASX:ASK) (‘ASK’) has undertaken independent external valuations of 100% of its property portfolio as at 31 March 2025. In accordance with ASK’s accounting policy[1] and in line with prior practice, the properties have been valued on a standalone basis.
The preliminary draft valuations have resulted in a portfolio value uplift of A$165.7 million[2] or 5.5%, driven predominantly by income growth from improved operating performance, occupancy, lease up and recently completed developments and expansions. The weighted average cap rate for the portfolio has firmed 7 basis points to 5.49%.
The unaudited valuations are expected to increase ASK’s pro forma NTA by circa $0.13 per security. The valuations are subject to finalisation and audit. The final valuations will be available as part of the FY25 results to be released on 14 August 2025.
A summary of ASK’s portfolio as at 31 March 2025 is presented below.
