Portfolio Overview

Centuria Office REIT is an ASX-listed real estate Investment trust focused on Australian office properties.

As at 30 June 2026, the trust held 18 office Assets with a portfolio value of approximately A$1.84 billion. The portfolio covered around 265,326 square metres of net lettable area across its properties.

The trust’s portfolio strategy remains centred on maintaining income from office assets through leasing activity, tenant retention and active property management.

Financial Position And Capital Management

The trust maintained a focus on managing Debt and Liquidity during FY2026.

Net gearing was 43.7% at the end of the financial year, while debt expiry management improved, with weighted average debt expiry extended to 4.3 years.

A portion of borrowings remained hedged, providing some protection against Interest Rate movements. Capital management remains an important consideration given the continued uncertainty around office property valuations and financing conditions.

Key Factors To Monitor

Future performance will depend on leasing outcomes, tenant demand and broader office market conditions.

Occupancy levels will remain an important measure, as office landlords continue to manage changes in workplace demand across different locations and asset grades.

Investors may also monitor progress against FY2027 funds from operations guidance, distribution levels, valuation movements and any further portfolio transactions.

The ability to maintain stable asset values while improving income generation will remain a key focus.

Risks

Office property continues to face structural changes, including evolving workplace requirements and differences in demand between locations and asset types.

Changes in property valuations, Capitalisation rates and interest rates can affect asset values and financial metrics.

The trust also remains exposed to tenant demand, Lease renewals and occupancy levels. A lower distribution outlook for FY2027 highlights the importance of balancing income payments with capital management requirements.

Key Takeaways

Centuria Office REIT entered FY2027 with a portfolio that showed relative stability in asset values and leasing activity, although the office sector remains challenging.

The trust’s focus will be on maintaining occupancy, managing debt, achieving leasing outcomes and balancing funds from operations with sustainable distributions.
