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

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
