The REIT had previously held down its payout ratio at just 10% but with improvement in leasing momentum of its US office properties that has resulted in higher committed occupancy, it is paying 50% for the July 1 to Oct 5 period.
Thanks to improving operational performance, Prime US REIT's revenue for the half year ended Dec 2025 was down 2.2% to US$66 million, and full year's down 5.4% to US$133.3 million. Income available for distribution was down 18.8% y-o-y to US$12.1 million for the half year, and down 24.8% y-o-y for the whole of FY2025 to US$28.7 million.
The REIT is paying a total 2HFY2025 DPU of 0.49 US cents, a jump from just 0.11 US cents paid in the year earlier, with higher distributable income payout ratio underpinned by improved cash flow visibility.
