Outlook and Earnings Guidance
We remain concentrated on delivering defensive, resilient cashflows to support secure and growing distributions to our security holders. To achieve this, our focus will continue to be on:
-
Improving our comparable NOI through strong leasing, increased fixed rent reviews and proactive expense management
-
Curating our portfolio through selective acquisitions and disposals
-
Reinvesting in our centres to drive value
-
Growing our funds under management
-
Maintaining a proactive approach to capital management including an on-market security buy-back, asset recycling and interest rate hedging
Assuming no significant change in market conditions, our FY26 earnings guidance is at least FFO of 15.9 cents per security and at least AFFO of 14.0 cents per security. The distribution payout ratio is expected to be approximately ~90% of FFO and ~100% of AFFO.
