HomeCo Daily Needs REIT Earnings: Rental Upside Offset by Debt Costs for Now
HomeCo Daily Needs REIT, or HomeCo's, fiscal 2023 result met guidance and our expectations. Funds from operations, or FFO, grew 68% to AUD 177 million, reflecting a full year’s contribution from the Aventus Group acquisition. The additional units issued to Aventus shareholders meant FFO per unit fell a modest 3.4% to 8.6 cents per unit. Distributions held steady at 8.3 cents, reflecting an increase in the payout ratio to about 97% of FFO per unit. EBITDA grew 86% to AUD 247 million, in line with our forecast again reflecting a full year of the Aventus assets with margins improving slightly to about 69% from 67% a year ago.
