INSIDE THIS ISSUE OF INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY NEWS Bawdens share insights on how profit margin performance and productivity are critical to market stability. ISSUE 186 | NOVEMBER 2025 | 02 9630 8000 | PAGE 2 Ben Rodriguez: Director Asset Management, Esperance Saad: Associate Director Asset Management, Robert Ally: Director and Terry Saba: Director MARKET INSIGHT SPECIAL Profit Margin Pressure and Declining Productivity Impacting Industrial Property Demand Bawdens is Sydney’s leading SME-focused industrial property specialist. The firm, with $3.5 billion in assets under management, routinely releases unique research papers for the benefit of its clients and customers. In this issue, we bring together the findings from recent papers that revealed how interest rates affect industrial sales and how to correctly price industrial property in 2025 (see page 12), to reveal how profit margin performance and productivity are critical to market stability. Since 2024, despite interest rates falling from about 7.4% to about 6%, sales at the firm as a percentage of all deals fell from 22% to 15%. Since 2023, despite inflation falling from 7.0% to 2.4% in 2025, business confidence has noticeably declined. The decline in confidence can be understood as the outcome of the lag effects of increasing costs to businesses from the inflation experienced in 2023 and falling productivity today. Businesses are currently seeing this in their financial statements as falling profit margins. Correctly pricing property to meet current conditions will remain very important for successfully leasing or selling in 2025 and 2026.

Business profit margins have experienced pressure as costs increased, and confidence fell early in the year. Whilst a recovery in consumer confidence is anticipated later this year, which may support a rebound in profit margins, certain sectors within the industrial property market have remained in demand. The firm completed an SME survey of all lease transactions completed for the calendar year to date where the area of the building leased was less than 1000m². The results reveal the most popular sized building areas as a percentage of all transactions surveyed as follows: Perhaps not surprisingly buildings with an area of less than 250m² accounted for 42% of all deals completed. Highlighting the resilience of small business formation, and availability of cash, with activity remaining intact despite challenging conditions. Larger businesses requiring space between 500-750m² were less active with just 10% of property deals accounting or deals with this size. However, established businesses seeking more than 750m² accounted for 25% of all deals highlighting the benefits of mature cash flow from established enterprises. % Of All Deals Size 42% 0-250m² 23% 250-500m² 10% 500-750m² 25% 750-1000m²

Instagram Facebook LinkedIn YouTube Simply search | PAGE 12 MARKET INSIGHT SPECIAL How to Correctly Price Industrial Property in 2025-2026 Paying particular attention to the years 2024 and 2025. In this period, interest rates fell approximately from 7.4% to 6%, yet confidence fell, and so the number of sale transactions we completed fell from 22% to 15% as a percentage of all deals. This is because as productivity fell and the exchange rate of the AUD fell, it cost more to run a business in Australia. This has resulted today in business profit margins being reduced, creating a fall in business confidence. In this environment, competently managed businesses will not accept risk by paying more rent or a price for a property than what is acceptable to them. So it is very important to determine the correct price or rental for a property today. Only correctly priced properties are selling or leasing. Source: Finder As we enter the new financial year, we asked leading corporate property agency Bawdens to provide their thoughts about the year ahead and identify why understanding the importance of correctly pricing real estate for sale and lease is going to be critical in the year ahead. In a research paper recently released to clients, we examined the percentage of sales relative to total transactions completed, that is, sales and leases.
