The group reported net tangible assets of AUD 4.11 per security, an increase of 3.3%. Like-for-like rental growth was 3.0% and weighted average lease expiry increased to 7.3 years following the Bunnings lease reset and internalisation of management.

Asset Management and Balance Sheet

The group reported an AUD 257.0 million increase in portfolio value, reflecting rent changes and a weighted average capitalisation rate of 5.25%. Large-format retail leasing spreads negotiated during the year averaged 23.6%. BWP identified asset repurposing projects at Fountain Gate, Broadmeadows and Noarlunga, as well as divestments in Morley, Port Kennedy and Chadstone. It issued an AUD 300 million medium-term bond in October 2025 and completed an AUD 228 million entitlement offer in May 2026 as part of refinancing and capital management.

What the Business Owns

BWP invests in and manages Australian commercial property, including Bunnings-leased assets and large-format retail centres. Rent is generated under property leases and affected by contracted reviews, changes in occupiers and space repurposing. The FY26 period also included transition to an internalised management structure. BWP distinguishes underlying recurring operations from fair value movements in reporting statutory profit, funds from operations and changes in net tangible assets.

Risks and Forward Activities

The risk factors include tenant concentration, redevelopment expenditure, periods when repurposed space earns no rent, funding costs and valuations. BWP reported that active redevelopment and leasing work continued alongside portfolio changes. Future updates may detail letting outcomes at repositioned properties, the financial effect of the internal management model and the results of capital recycling. Different valuation and cash-earning measures should be considered separately when describing the results.

The company disclosed portfolio transactions involving retail and commercial sites in Western Australia and Victoria. Its results also described leases reset with Bunnings and the transition of management arrangements. These measures were included alongside rental growth and financing activity, with future rental outcomes dependent on the underlying leases.
