Stockland Corp. Ltd. (SGP.AX,STKAF.PK), an Australian property company, reported that its profit after tax attributable to securityholders for the half year ended 31 December 2023 dropped to A$102 million from A$301 million in the prior year. Earnings per security were 4.2 cents compared to 12.6 cents last year.
Pre- and post-tax Funds From Operations or FFO was A$266 million, compared with A$353 million in the prior year. FFO per security (pre-and post-tax) was 11.2 cents, down 24.7% from the prior year. The decline primarily reflects a more material 2H skew for settlement volumes in Masterplanned Communities (MPC) business, as we previously foreshadowed, along with a higher weighted average cost of debt. No tax expense was recognized for the half.
A distribution of 8.0 cents per security was declared, reflecting a payout ratio of 72% of FFO.
The company maintained its fiscal year 2024 Funds From Operations per security guidance at a range of 34.5 to 35.5 cents on a pre-tax basis, with tax expense expected to be a high single-digit percentage of pre-tax FFO.
Distribution per security is expected to be within Stockland's targeted payout ratio of 75 to 85% of post-tax FFO.
