FY25/26 Dividend Timeline

Occupancy continues to improve across centres

The company said occupancy continues to improve at a materially faster rate than during the second half of 2025. The previous occupancy announcement was made on 23 August 2026.

The Mayfield takeover completion earlier this year added centres to the Embark network, and integrating those sites is one factor behind the broader occupancy picture across the group.

  • At that time, spot occupancy for 30 centres was 80%.
  • 33 centres currently exceed 80% occupancy.
