About 70% of Ingenia Communities’ midcycle EBITDA is from land-lease property sales and rent. Ingenia collects rent on about 16,000 property sites across land-lease, rental, and holiday park communities on Australia’s east coast. The firm’s strategy is to build higher-end communities primarily in Australia’s coastal and outer metropolitan areas. Following significant land acquisitions over the past few years, Ingenia has a pipeline of about 9,000 new dwellings, and more than a dozen sites currently in development or planning. All are targeting over-55s and leveraged to the thematics of an aging population and the rising cost of housing.

Ingenia Communities' fiscal 2026 underlying EPS of AUD 0.36 exceeded guidance, with settlements up 10% and development gross margins of 48% from 47% in the prior year, despite higher labor and material costs. A proposal to acquire Peet accompanied the results. Shares fell 6% on the announcement.

Ingenia expects stronger second-half fiscal 2026 earnings in its land lease development business, after a first half with fewer settlements, flat pricing, and a decline in EBIT margin from the prior year. A slowdown is typical at low points in the cycle as customers delay selling the family home.

Ingenia's first-half fiscal 2026 revenue of AUD 257 million and EBIT of AUD 85 million were both flat, with slightly fewer home settlements offset by annual rent increases and a larger rental base. Shares are down 4%.

Ingenia delivered a strong first-half result. Interim 2025 EBIT rose 48% to AUD 86 million, and underlying earnings rose 58% to AUD 0.17 per share. The results were driven by consumer price index-linked rent increases and solid 258 home settlements as previously disclosed. Results are in line with our expectations following the company's upgraded earnings guidance in January 2025.

We raise our fair value estimate for no-moat Ingenia by 6% to AUD 5.60 per share on upgraded fiscal 2025 earnings guidance. The firm’s fiscal 2025 EBIT and adjusted EPS targets are now 8% and 18% higher, respectively, at the midpoint. We lift our fiscal 2025 EBIT by 6% to AUD 165 million and underlying EPS by 20% to AUD 30 cents per share, both at the top end of the firm’s guidance range of AUD 162 million-AUD 165 million EBIT and AUD 29 cents-AUD 30 cents per share adjusted EPS.

We raise our fair value estimate for no-moat Ingenia by 15% to AUD 5.30 from AUD 4.60 after taking a fresh look at our cost of equity assumptions for our Australian land lease coverage. To this end, we have applied a 6.8% weighted average cost of capital from 7.7% previously. This assumes a lower cost of equity for the rental segment, about half of our valuation. We think this segment’s earnings are more predictable and lower risk than the group's holiday park and development businesses. We have also lifted our margin assumptions for the rental business, now 58% at the midcycle from 55% previously. We think the company can achieve some modest cost benefits from scale from operating more communities. Ingenia screens as fairly valued.
