Dexus (ASX:DXS), a major player in the ASX300, has reported a notable uplift in the value of its property portfolio as at 30 June 2025. The company has also provided an update on its distribution guidance for the second half of FY25 and legal proceedings involving its interest in the Australia Pacific Airports Corporation (APAC).
Valuation Update: $55 Million Growth Across Portfolio
In a comprehensive mid-year revaluation exercise, all 177 assets under Dexus’ management — consisting of 29 office buildings and 148 industrial properties — were externally reassessed. The results indicate a total increase of approximately $55 million, or 0.4%, in asset value across both stabilised and development assets.
The industrial segment led the uplift with a 0.9% rise, driven by robust demand and continued rental growth in logistics and warehousing spaces. Meanwhile, the office portfolio recorded a 0.3% increase, supported by positive trends in market rents, particularly for well-located and high-quality buildings.
CEO and Managing Director Ross Du Vernet acknowledged the valuation boost, citing confidence in premium property segments continuing to outshine broader market performance.
FY25 Second Half Distribution Guidance
Dexus has confirmed an estimated distribution of 18.0 cents per security for the six months ending 30 June 2025. Key dates include:
- Ex-distribution date: 27 June 2025
- Record date: 30 June 2025
- Payment date: 29 August 2025
The finalised details of the distribution will be presented in the full-year FY25 results, scheduled for release on 20 August 2025.
Legal Proceedings Involving APAC Interest
An update was also shared regarding Dexus’ stake in Australia Pacific Airports Corporation (APAC). The New South Wales Supreme Court has rescheduled its hearing to between 10 and 21 November 2025. Certain shareholders have challenged the validity of a notice issued by APAC. In response, Dexus has agreed to cover legal costs for the majority of these shareholders, including any potential adverse cost orders.
