Portfolio valuation update

Dexus today announced that 172 of its 176[1] assets, comprising 29 office properties and 143 industrial properties have been externally valued as at 31 December 2024.

The draft external independent valuations have resulted in a total estimated decrease of circa $267.6 million[2] or 2.1% on book values across the stabilised portfolio and development assets for the six months to 31 December 2024.

The value of the office portfolio decreased circa 3.2% driven by higher capitalisation rates and discount rates, partially offset by market rental growth. The industrial portfolio increased by circa 1.4%, with rental growth largely offsetting the impact of higher capitalisation rates and discount rates.

Ross Du Vernet, Dexus Group CEO and Managing Director said: “As a long-term investor, we have confidence in the value of our high-quality portfolio through the cycle. Positively, the rate of decline in office valuations has slowed in the six month period, with improving transaction volumes and an increase in interest from institutional buyers.”

The weighted average capitalisation rate across the total stabilised portfolio expanded by circa 12 basis points over the past six months from 5.90% at 30 June 2024 to 6.02% at 31 December 2024. The weighted average capitalisation rate of the stabilised office portfolio expanded by circa 12 basis points from 6.05% at 30 June 2024 to 6.17% at 31 December 2024. The stabilised industrial portfolio weighted average capitalisation rate expanded by circa 9 basis points from 5.45% at 30 June 2024 to 5.54% at 31 December 2024.

Valuations will be finalised and details relating to specific individual property valuations will be available in Dexus’s HY25 results which will be released to the Australian Securities Exchange on Tuesday, 18 February 2025.

Authorised by the Board of Dexus Funds Management Limited.
