Elite UK REIT adjusted NPI slips 3.7% to $62.3m in FY 2026

Lower borrowing costs lift distributable income and DPU.

Elite UK REIT reported net property income (NPI) down 3.7% to $62.3m (£36.0m) for the year ended 31 December 2025, reflecting asset repositioning expenses and lower dilapidation settlements, the manager said.

Revenue rose 1.3% to $65.7m (£38.0m). Borrowing costs fell by 20 basis points to 4.7%, contributing to a 4.6% increase in distributable income to $33.4m (£19.3m) despite the softer adjusted NPI performance.

Distribution per unit (DPU) rose 5.6% YoY to 3.03 pence for FY2025, whilst the net gearing ratio improved by 1.8 percentage points to 40.7% as at 31 December 2025.

Portfolio valuation increased 2.0% YoY to $734.7m (£424.7m) following asset repositioning initiatives and the acquisition of three government-leased properties completed in June 2025.

The REIT entered into $42.0m (£24.3m) of new lease agreements for Department for Work and Pensions-occupied properties, extending portfolio weighted average lease expiry to 7.2 years and reducing 2028 lease expiry exposure to 32.0% of gross rental income.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
