Chair Address - Annual General Meeting 2026
The Notice of Meeting was distributed on 17 April 2026 and will be taken as read. The formal part of the Meeting comprises the presentation of the Financial Report, Directors' Report and Auditors' Report for the year ended 31 December 2025 (as detailed in the 2025 Annual Report), along with resolutions relating to: The adoption of the Remuneration Report;
- The re-election of myself, Georgina Lynch as Director;
- The grant of performance rights to the Managing Director and CEO, Hadyn Stephens; and
- The amendments to the Trust Constitution.
Before we move to the formal business of the meeting, I will provide a short overview of Waypoint REIT's performance for the 2025 financial year.
Waypoint REIT delivered another solid result for the year ended 31 December 2025, with Distributable EPS of 16.64 cents representing a 1% improvement on the 2024 financial year. Although modest, it was pleasing to see a return to earnings growth after three consecutive years of stable earnings, with top-line rental growth and lower securities on issue as a result of the $50 million on-market buyback completed during the year offsetting the impact of asset sales and higher interest costs.
As at 31 December 2025, Waypoint REIT owned a portfolio of 395 fuel and convenience properties across Australia valued at $2.86 billion, up approximately 2% for the year with a valuation increase of $102 million more than offsetting the impact of non-core asset sales. The portfolio had an occupancy rate of 99.9% and a weighted average lease expiry of 6.4 years, with 90% of leases being 'triple net' and 94% of income derived from our major tenant, the ASX-listed Viva Energy Australia.
Waypoint's weighted average cap rate compressed by 11 basis points in 2025 to 5.61%, as a 75 basis point reduction in the RBA cash rate during the year supported an improvement in investor sentiment and transaction market activity. Waypoint REIT was able to take advantage of this improvement in market conditions to sell six non-core assets in 2025 for a combined consideration of $40.6 million, with proceeds used to fund approximately 80% of the $50 million on-market buyback completed during the year, which was completed at an average 10% discount to NTA.
As a result of valuation gains across the investment portfolio and a lower number of securities on issue as a result of the buyback, Waypoint REIT recorded strong growth in NTA per security of 14 cents or 5.1% to $2.90 for the financial year ended 31 December.
Waypoint REIT's balance sheet remains in good shape, with gearing of 32.7% at 31 December 2025 being at the lower end of our 30-40% target range and being largely unchanged, despite the completion of the buyback. $409 million of debt was refinanced during the year, lowering Waypoint's overall debt margin by 15 basis points, and we now have no debt expiring until March 2028.
Looking to the year ahead, interest rates and the Middle East conflict are obviously watchpoints for Australian businesses, and Waypoint REIT is no exception.
The RBA has raised the cash rate by 75 basis points already in 2026, which is dampening transaction market activity and may potentially lead to softer capitalisation rates across the sector as the year progresses.
Waypoint REIT
However, with 90% of Waypoint's debt being fixed or hedged for the 2026 financial year, the impact of higher interest rates on Waypoint's distributable earnings is expected to be negligible.
The conflict in the Middle East is causing widespread concerns for future fuel supply in Australia, and again the outlook here remains uncertain. Although this is an issue of some interest for Waypoint given the industry that we operate in, it is important to remember a couple of things.
Firstly, retail fuel volumes and margins in the first three months of 2026 were up on the first quarter of 2025, suggesting that operators are continuing to perform strongly in the current environment.
Secondly, and more importantly, Waypoint REIT does not currently have any direct operational exposure to the events impacting the Middle East. We are simply the landlord to operators, who have a contractual obligation to pay their rent for the term of the lease regardless of the underlying performance of their sites or business.
Accordingly, Waypoint REIT remains well-placed to deliver on the FY26 DEPS guidance issued in February, which we reaffirm today at 17.14 cents, representing 3% growth on 2025.
Thank you.
