- FY25 Lendlease REIT's DPU declined by 6.9% y-o-y to 3.6 cents, in line with our estimates and meeting 100% of our FY25e forecast.
- The drop was mainly due to a 10% y-o-y decrease in NPI, driven by rental arrears from Cathay, and a higher Euribor rate. However, 2H25 DPU rose 1.8% y-o-y to 1.80 cents, supported by a 9.8% y-o-y decline in financing costs.

- JEM Office contributes 12.5% of FY25 GRI, and the income vacuum from the divestment is expected to be partially offset by higher occupancy at Sky Complex Building 3 and capital top-up.
The Positives

- JEM outperformed 313@Somerset, supported by more resilient suburban demand amid a net outflow of outbound travellers versus inbound tourists.
- Sky Complex secured an office rental uplift of 1.7%, and LREIT expects occupancy for Building 3 to improve to ~50% by end-2025 (4Q25: 31%).
- We expect rental reversions to moderate in FY26e, with the Singapore retail portfolio posting mid to high single-digit growth, supported by muted new supply and sustained occupier demand.
