EQS-Ad-hoc: Dexus Finance Pty Limited / Key word(s): Dividend/Real Estate Dexus (ASX: DXS) ASX release 15 December 2023 Portfolio valuation update and estimate distribution details for the six months to 31 December 2023 Dexus today announced that 173 of its 176[1] assets, comprising 33 office properties and 140 industrial properties have been externally valued as at 31 December 2023. The draft external independent valuations have resulted in a total estimated decrease of circa $762.4 million[2] or 5.2% on prior book values for the six months to 31 December 2023. Darren Steinberg, Dexus CEO said: “The value of the office portfolio decreased circa 6.0% on prior book values driven by higher capitalisation rates and discount rates, partially offset by market rental growth. The industrial portfolio decreased circa 2.1% on prior book values, with strong rental growth again largely offsetting the impact of higher capitalisation rates and discount rates. “We expect well-located quality assets to continue to outperform non-core locations and secondary assets.” The weighted average capitalisation rate across the total portfolio expanded by circa 34 basis points over the past six months from 5.11% at 30 June 2023 to 5.45% at 31 December 2023. The weighted average capitalisation rate of the office portfolio expanded by circa 32 basis points from 5.21% at 30 June 2023 to 5.53% at 31 December 2023 and the industrial portfolio weighted average capitalisation rate expanded by circa 42 basis points from 4.76% at 30 June 2023 to 5.18% at 31 December 2023. Details relating to individual property valuations will be available in Dexus’s HY24 results which will be released to the Australian Securities Exchange on Wednesday, 14 February 2024.
