Landsec (LSE:LAND) has reported robust operational results for the fiscal year ending 31 March 2025, highlighted by a 5.0% rise in like-for-like net rental income. This growth contributed to stronger earnings and an enhanced valuation of its property portfolio. Looking ahead, the company has outlined plans to invest £1 billion in major retail assets and launch a £2 billion residential development platform by 2030. These initiatives will be supported by recycling approximately £3 billion of capital out of offices and non-core holdings.
This capital allocation strategy is designed to generate sustainable income growth and boost earnings per share (EPS), with a target of 20% EPRA EPS growth by fiscal year 2030. Key financial metrics for the period include a profit before tax of £393 million and a 6.4% return on equity. Operational highlights feature increased occupancy levels and lowered overhead expenses, underscoring ongoing efficiency improvements.
