土地證券集團(Land Securities Group PLC)週二公佈，本財年上半年税前利潤有所回升，並增加了股息支出。

這家商業地產開發商和投資公司在截至9月1日的六個月中實現税前利潤2.75億英鎊(合3.689億美元)。30億英鎊，而去年同期虧損8.35億英鎊。
Revenue decreased to GBP315 million from GBP327 million. The value of the company's combined portfolio rose to GBP11 billion from GBP10.8 billion.

The company's net tangible asset value per share stood at 1,012 pence as of Sept. 30 compared with 985 pence at the same date last year. Office-like portfolio vacancy rates stood at 4.4% compared with 3.1% at March driven mostly by vacant space at Dashwood. The company expects the vacancy rate to fall by March as it begins to let the space available.

"Our outlets portfolio saw like-for-like sales increase 7.9% versus 2019 for the 25 weeks after April 12 with values up 1.0% over the six months as a result. Shopping center sales also benefited from the strong post-pandemic recovery with brand partner sales now within approximately 3% of 2019 levels for this same period," the company said.
