The Sydney-listed company said it had completed a quarter of its divestment plan, as it reported a 13.9% drop in adjusted funds from operations — its preferred performance metric — for the six-month period ended December 31. "The market is, from an investment point of view, kind of bottoming," said Dexus CEO Ross Du Vernet in an interview. Australian landlord Dexus says net loss doubles and flags another weak year, shares plunge Australia property giant Dexus said its annual net loss more than doubled and flagged lower-than expected figures for a key earnings metric next year, sending its shares tumbling. The results underline how Australia's commercial property market has struggled to regain momentum after the pandemic emptied offices across major cities. Dexus' A$14.8 billion ($9.9 billion) portfolio of offices and warehouses shrank 12.9% or A$1.9 billion in value over the year ended in June.
