Both years passed the same checks. Margins are shares of revenue; their change is in percentage points. n/m = not meaningful (prior-year figure at or below zero). Each year holds the figures from its own annual report; restated comparatives are not applied.
Margins over time
Net profit as a share of revenue for each year whose figures passed the checks (4 of 9 years from FY2017). The shaded line is the median of 9 other listed Real Estate property trusts, using each one’s same financial year where it passed the checks; the number of companies in each median is in the table. Gaps are years that were not charted.
APL peer median below the axis: year not charted (reason in the table).

Peer medians use only peer-years that passed the same checks; a median of fewer than two companies is not shown. Years are grouped by financial-year label, and year-end months differ between companies.
Not yet available: where the cash goes (operating cash flow to capex, dividends and debt) and underlying versus reported earnings. The figures they need are not yet validated.
Years not charted
These years are on file but their figures did not pass the checks, so no chart is drawn for them.
- FY2025: After placing every reported line, -$5.4m (79% of revenue) is left unexplained between EBIT and net profit. A residual that large usually means a line was mis-extracted, so the chart is not drawn.
- FY2024: EBIT is -$0.4m. This layout does not draw an operating loss.
- FY2023: EBIT is -$0.5m. This layout does not draw an operating loss.
- FY2021: After placing every reported line, $9.3m (93% of revenue) is left unexplained between EBIT and net profit. A residual that large usually means a line was mis-extracted, so the chart is not drawn.
- FY2020: After placing every reported line, -$19.2m (175% of revenue) is left unexplained between EBIT and net profit. A residual that large usually means a line was mis-extracted, so the chart is not drawn.
