COMMERCIAL PROPERTY PORTFOLIO REVALUATION

As foreshadowed in the Group’s first quarter market update in October, Stockland has elected to undertake revaluations of the majority of its commercial property portfolio for the half year ending 31 December 2015, given market evidence of a tightening capitalisation rate environment. The preliminary results of these revaluations indicate an increase of approximately $430 million (approximately 5.0 per cent) in the collective value of these assets.

The revaluations reflect both rental growth and a tightening in the portfolio’s weighted average capitalisation rate, from 6.9 per cent at 30 June 2015 to 6.5 per cent.

Stockland notes that the revaluations remain subject to review by the Group’s external auditors and finalisation of period end adjustments such as capital expenditure and tenant incentives.Detailed information on the 31 December 2015 final portfolio revaluation will be available in the 1H16 results presentation, which will be released on 10 February 2016.
