Stoneweg Europe Stapled Trust sees lower DPS by 7% YoY in H1 2025

This is mainly due to higher interest costs from refinancing.

Stoneweg Europe Stapled Trust (SERT) has reported that its distribution per stapled security (DPS) was $9.8 Singapore cents (€6.553 Euro cents) in the first half of 2025 (H1 2025), within market expectations and 7% lower than the prior year, due primarily to higher interest cost from refinancing and partially offset by net property income growth.

The group’s gross revenue rose 1.1% year-on-year (YoY) to $160.99m (€107.43m) and its NPI also increased by 2.2% YoY to $100.29m (€66.94m) in H1 2025.

The increases were driven by income from the redeveloped Nervesa21 in Milan and strong like-for-like growth in the logistics/light industrial sector.

The distributable income for H1 2025 decreased by 7.3% YoY to $55m (€36.7m), mainly due to a 23.9% rise in net interest costs.

The higher net interest costs were due to higher coupon rates on the €500 million six-year green bond issued in January 2025. The increase in net interest costs was partly offset by lower interest on unhedged floating-rate borrowings.

SERT reported that, overall, the average all-in rate for H1 2025 was 3.86%, up from 3.23% a year earlier.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
