Giant listed landlord Precinct Properties, with $3.3 billion of real estate, cut losses and suffered less brutal devaluations in its latest result due to what it called a “stabilising investment property market”.
The company made $150.5 million operating profit before indirect expenses in the year to June 30, 2024, up on 2023′s $138.9m.
Devaluations of $257.1m last year improved to a paper loss writedown of $105.2m in the latest year, showing less harsh devaluations of its multi-billion dollar portfolio.
Net profit after tax also improved from last year’s $147.2m loss to a $30.1m loss in the 2024 year.
Precinct said its core office performance had been strong with increased leasing activity and rental growth.
