Workspace Group (LON:WKP – Get Free Report) released its earnings results on Wednesday. The company reported GBX 31.30 EPS for the quarter, Digital Look Earnings reports. Workspace Group had a negative net margin of 41.50% and a negative return on equity of 5.24%. The firm had revenue of £181.40 million for the quarter.
Here are the key takeaways from Workspace Group’s conference call:
- FY 2026 results weakened, with trading profit after interest down 9.4% to £60.5 million and net rental income down 7.1% to £113.4 million. The company also reported a loss before tax of £120.5 million.
- The company signaled a substantial step down in FY 2027 trading profit as it begins a transformation phase, with about £55 million of CapEx planned and additional refinancing pressure likely to hit earnings in FY 2028.
- Management framed the business as having a stable starting point, with occupancy at 81.6% and liquidity still strong at over £240 million. Debt maturities are manageable, and the company extended its £200 million revolving credit facility to June 2030.
- Workspace is shifting to an earnings-focused strategy centered on refurbishing existing assets, simplifying pricing, and moving into a “best value” position in flexible office space. Management expects low-risk refurbishment projects to generate returns well above the cost of capital.
- The company believes its four case-study buildings can deliver mid-teens incremental yields on cost and early-teens unlevered IRRs on under £20 million of total CapEx. Management also sees a medium-term path to trading profit before interest above £125 million, driven by higher occupancy, pricing, and added amenity revenue.
