- Third consecutive semi-annual DPU rise despite divestment drag. <\/strong>Distribution per unit for 2H25 rose 12.1% YoY to 2.30 US cents, while FY25 DPU increased 8.1% YoY to 4.39 US cents. FY25 distributable income grew 5.7% to US$26.9mn despite a modest revenue decline to US$72.0mn, reflecting the absence of income from divested properties and sustained leasing momentum across the core grocery-anchored portfolio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nFY25 Financials Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In FY25, United Hampshire US REIT (UHU REIT) delivered distributable income of US$26.9mn, rising 5.7% YoY and DPU of 4.39 US cents, climbing 8.1% YoY. Gross revenue declined slightly by 1.7% YoY to US$72.0mn, attributable to the absence of income from three divested properties, Lowe’s and Sam’s Club at Hudson Valley Plaza (divested August 2024) and Albany Supermarket (divested January 2025). Excluding these divestments and Dover Marketplace, same-store gross revenue grew approximately 0.8% in 2H25, reflecting positive leasing momentum and an incremental contribution from Dover Marketplace (acquired August 2025). Net property income was similarly affected, declining 1.7% YoY to US$49.0mn, though the like-for-like NPI margin expanded, indicating improving portfolio quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\nResilient Operational Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As of 31 December 2025, UHU REIT’s Grocery & Necessity portfolio achieved 97.7% committed occupancy (up from 97.5% in FY24) with a WALE of 7.7 years. The REIT executed 30 new and renewal leases covering 422,032 sq ft in FY25, including quality tenants such as Walmart, Dollar Tree, HomeGoods, Florida Blue and M&T Bank. The tenant retention rate of 90% reflects the resilient and necessity-based nature of the portfolio. Lease expiry risk is well-contained, with only 2.9% and 5.6% of leases expiring in 2026 and 2027 respectively. Self-storage properties at Carteret and Millburn recorded occupancy of 85.9% and 91.2% respectively, with net rental rates remaining firm in 4Q25 despite broader sector headwinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\nValuation & Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We maintain an OUTPERFORM<\/strong> rating with a raised target price of US$0.69<\/strong> from the previous US$0.60. <\/strong>This is based on our valuation model, which considers a terminal growth rate of 2.0% and a lowered cost of equity of 8.1% from 9.4%. The proactive management positions the company well for further improvements to its portfolio, and its long-dated refinancing requirement enables it to remain stable for a longer period. Furthermore, its early refinancing of US$350mn enhances financial flexibility and removes refinancing risk until February 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\nRisks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Economic slowdown, regulatory changes, and sustained high or rising interest rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
