Fletcher Building Limited ( (NZ:FBU) ) just unveiled an update.
Fletcher Building’s Laminex AU unit has agreed to sell its Cheltenham manufacturing property in Melbourne to Forza Capital for A$53.8 million, in a deal subject to environmental due diligence and internal approvals expected by mid‑June 2026. The business will lease back the site for at least three years, providing continuity of operations while a broader review of Laminex AU’s manufacturing footprint is undertaken.
If the transaction completes in FY26 at the agreed price, Fletcher Building expects to book an estimated A$14 million gain on sale in its FY26 EBIT after associated costs. Management positions the move as part of a wider effort to optimise the group’s property footprint and support capital management objectives, signalling continued portfolio discipline and a more flexible approach to future manufacturing site configuration.
