Wereldhave Exceeds Forecasts with a Direct Result of 1.86 Euros per Share in 2025
On Tuesday, the real estate group Wereldhave released its annual results for 2025, which outperformed its earlier forecasts. The direct result per share reached 1.86 euros, surpassing the previously stated guidance of 1.80 to 1.85 euros.
Strong Performance Driven by Improved Operations and Portfolio Growth
Wereldhave recorded a direct result of 1.86 euros per share in 2025, exceeding its previous guidance set between 1.80 and 1.85 euros. This performance is attributed to improved operations and external growth of the portfolio. The occupancy rate of the portfolio reached 98%, the highest level since 2013. Comparable rent growth was over 6%, fueled by improvements in the Dutch retail market and the development of other revenues. The group also completed the sale of the Dutch real estate asset FSC Sterrenburg in December 2025 for 60 million euros at book value.
Cost Stability Amid Portfolio Growth and Inflationary Pressures
Wereldhave maintained a stable cost base despite portfolio growth and inflationary pressures. The total return to shareholders was over 51% for the fiscal year 2025. The group proposed a dividend of 1.30 euros per share for 2025, up 4% from the previous year. For 2026, Wereldhave anticipates a direct result per share between 1.85 and 1.95 euros.
