Strong Operating Profit
Reported operating profit of $1.2 billion for H1 FY26, a little higher than management had expected at the prior quarter.
Material Growth in Work in Progress (WIP)
Work in progress is on track to increase from $14.4 billion to approximately $18 billion by June (≈+25%), with data center projects providing around 500 MW underway by June.
Power Bank Expansion
Owned powered land bank increased from 5 GW to 6 GW across 16 global cities (+20%), with the increase primarily in Australia and Continental Europe and ongoing planning/preconstruction to speed market delivery.
Large-Scale Capital Partnerships Established
Established a $14 billion data center development partnership in Europe and a $2 billion logistics partnership in the U.S., with another partnership expected in Australia; partnering strategy intended to accelerate development while recycling capital.
AUM and Fee Revenue Momentum
Total portfolio value of $87.4 billion at Dec; $75 billion external AUM and stabilized third-party AUM averaged $69 billion in the period (up over $4 billion vs prior corresponding half). Fee revenue was just over 0.9% of average stabilized third-party AUM, broadly in line with long-term expectations.
Improved Investment and Rental Income
Investment earnings were up $54 million overall (after a $5 million adverse FX effect); direct property net rental income increased by $59 million, largely due to higher directly owned assets following the Americas reorganization.
Strong Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Gearing remained low at 4.1% with $5.2 billion of liquidity (cash + undrawn lines) after funding acquisitions and CapEx; management reiterated a target operating EPS growth of 9% for FY26 and the ability to operate gearing within 0–25% policy range.
Development Completions and Leasing
$2.5 billion of developments completed in the half, with ~87% of those completions already leased, supporting near-term income conversion.
