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
The 2025–2026 water year commenced on 1 July 2025. In the lower Murray, allocation prices reached as high as $350/ML in the first two weeks of July, before easing back to $260/ML at the end of the month. These were the highest opening allocation prices seen in the lower Murray since July 2020.
At 31 July 2025, 52% of the entitlement portfolio is leased with a weighted average lease expiry (“WALE”) of 3.7 years. This is the Company’s highest 31 July WALE since inception. Management continues to engage proactively with its irrigation partners to increase lease coverage and enhance portfolio utilisation.
Demand for leases was robust in May and June but softened in July as rainfall increased and near-term irrigation requirements remain minimal. Despite recent rain events and an above-average three-month rainfall outlook, major storages remain at their lowest levels for this time of year since 2020.
These reduced dam storage levels have resulted in the lowest opening allocation determinations to NSW general security entitlements since 1 July 2020. The Company anticipates that rainfall and inflows to major dams in the coming months will influence allocation determinations and spot prices leading into summer.
In addition to new leases, the Company has locked in several forward contracts that will be delivered throughout the new water year. These forward contracts act as a hedge against spot market price volatility and provide the Company with increased revenue stream visibility.
July also saw recognition of new-season unleased allocations, which contributed positively to portfolio performance and contributed to a 1-cent increase in NAV per share during the month.
Several small parcels of lower Murray entitlements were also acquired at attractive prices during the month.
Separately, the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water released the 2025 Murray–Darling Basin Evaluation Report. Of the 450 GL targeted for recovery by 31 December 2027, 157.3 GL has been recovered or contracted, leaving 292.7 GL outstanding. The quantum and timing of any further water buyback programs outside of the EOI 1 and EOI 2 that were completed late last year, will be communicated by the Commonwealth Government in due course.
Regarding the 605 GL SDLAM target, which primarily involves water recovery through infrastructure projects, the estimated shortfall ranges from 190 to 315 GL. The Company understands that this target is not currently planned to be achieved through water buybacks. However, the report also indicates that, given the costs associated with these projects, water buybacks have proven to be a more efficient method thus far.
The Company is looking forward to releasing its half-year report in the coming weeks.
