Over recent quarters, revenue has moved between US$27.7 million in Q4 2024 and US$30.7 million in Q4 2025, while quarterly EPS ranged from a profit of US$0.03 in Q1 2025 to a loss of US$5.50 in Q2 2025, underscoring a wide swing in reported earnings even as the top line stayed within a relatively tight band. For investors, the latest print keeps the focus squarely on how efficiently NLOP is converting rent into sustainable cash flows and whether margins can settle into a more predictable range from here.

FFO Swings From US$19.4m Gain To US$44.6m Loss
- Across FY 2025, Funds From Operations moved from a US$19.4 million gain in Q3 to a US$44.6 million loss in Q4, while Q2 and Q1 showed gains of US$13.2 million and US$12.1 million respectively. This highlights how cash flow for this REIT shifted sharply within a single year even as quarterly revenue stayed in a US$29.2 million to US$30.7 million range.
- What stands out for a bearish narrative is how this FFO volatility lines up with the longer term pattern of earnings pressure, as losses have grown at about 50.1% per year over five years, and trailing twelve month net income excluding extra items sits at a loss of US$145.3 million. This fits the view that the business has been facing sustained profitability headwinds rather than a one off dip.
- Bears often focus on consistency, and here Q1 2025 net income excluding extra items was a small US$0.5 million profit compared with a US$64.2 million loss in Q3 and a US$0.1 million loss in Q4, so the brief profit did not change the broader loss making pattern.
- Critics also point to the unstable dividend track record and recent share price volatility alongside this earnings trend, so the mix of negative trailing twelve month earnings and the sharp Q4 swing in FFO provides that cautious stance with plenty of numerical backing.
Twelve Month Loss Of US$145.3m Frames The Year
- On a trailing twelve month basis to Q4 2025, NLOP generated US$118.9 million of total revenue and reported a net income excluding extra items loss of US$145.3 million, while basic EPS over the same period was a loss of US$9.81. This means the full year picture is dominated by negative earnings despite relatively stable revenue.
- Supporters of a more optimistic narrative tend to focus on the property and lease profile rather than these accounting losses, yet the figures still set a tough backdrop because the company has been unprofitable over the last year and losses have increased over the past five years. Any bullish angle has to reconcile the idea of long lease terms and corporate tenants with the reality of a sizable US$145.3 million trailing loss and a US$9.81 per share loss.
- Backers of a stronger long term story might argue that steady trailing twelve month revenue around US$118.9 million is at least a base to work from, but the fact that trailing twelve month revenue in earlier periods such as Q1 2025 and Q4 2024 was higher at US$127.5 million and US$142.2 million shows that the top line has also stepped down from those levels.
- That contrast, between the idea of predictable rent streams and the combination of falling trailing twelve month revenue and growing losses, is exactly what a cautious investor would want to examine closely when assessing how durable any bullish thesis really is.
DCF Fair Value Of US$103.68 Vs US$13.96 Price
- The valuation model currently points to a DCF fair value of US$103.68 per share, compared with a market price of US$13.96. This implies the stock trades about 86.5% below that model estimate, while at the same time the P/S ratio of 1.7x is slightly under the US Office REITs industry average of 1.8x but above the peer average of 0.9x.
- What is interesting for the general market opinion is how this large modelled valuation gap sits beside the weak profitability track record. Investors see an unprofitable REIT with a trailing twelve month net income excluding extra items loss of US$145.3 million and a basic EPS loss of US$9.81, yet also a label of "good value" in some models, which creates a clear tension between the low share price, the higher DCF fair value and the mixed relative P/S positioning.
