The primary investment objective of Duxton Water (“the Company”) is to build a portfolio of permanent water entitlements and utilise this portfolio to provide flexible water supply solutions to our Australian farming partners. The Company generates a return by offering irrigators a range of supply solutions including long-term entitlement leases, forward allocation contracts and spot allocation supply.

Portfolio Managers’ Update
Dividend Declared
Operational Update
On 29 August 2025, Duxton Water announced an interim dividend of 3.72 cents per share, payable on 31 October 2025. This represents the Company’s 17th consecutive and increasing dividend, bringing total dividends paid since inception to 52 cents per share. Further details, including key dates, are available in the Company’s recent ASX announcement.
August NAV Update
The Company’s NAV increased by 1 cent during August, driven by strategic trades, additional entitlement allocations, and improved allocation prices. Over the past six months, NAV has grown by 9.1% (or 12.2% pre-tax).
Water Markets
The permanent water market experienced subdued trading activity in August. Entitlement price movements were mixed, with Murray entitlements generally holding firm or rising, while Goulburn and Murrumbidgee entitlements softened slightly. As a result, changes across the permanent portfolio largely offset each other.
By contrast, allocation prices rose by approximately 6% across most catchments. While July rainfall temporarily reduced prices at the start of August, the return of average to drier conditions across the southern Murray-Darling Basin supported a rebound. Allocation prices ended winter 2025 at their highest seasonal levels since 2019.
Demand for leases was subdued for the month of August. However, irrigator interest has risen significantly in early September. The Company currently has several lease offers out with both new and existing customers to consider.
August marks the beginning of the irrigation season. Duxton Water remains well-positioned to meet irrigator demand through its diversified portfolio of leases, forwards, and allocation holdings. Currently, 53% of the portfolio is leased, supported by approximately $1 million in forward contracts due for delivery in the coming months. Forward contracts provide a hedge against price volatility while maintaining flexibility to meet irrigators’ allocation needs.
Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”)
The Company proposes to change its name from ‘Duxton Water Limited’ to ‘Rivco Australia Limited’. Following the approval of the internalisation of management at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 30 May 2025, the Board believes the new name better reflects the Company’s long-term strategy, vision, and independence as a dedicated Australian water business. It also provides clearer differentiation from the Company’s former externally managed structure.
An EGM will be held on 2 October 2025 to seek shareholder approval for the proposed name change. Further details are available in the Company’s recent ASX announcement.
