Roughly half of XPML11’s leasable area is concentrated in the state of São Paulo, while the remainder is spread across seven other states, including regions in the Northeast, South, and North of Brazil. From an operational standpoint, the portfolio is also diversified by property manager, although SYN is responsible for over 30% of the total ABL.

XPML11’s regional tilt toward the Southeast aligns with its strategy of targeting economically robust areas with dense retail activity. While SYN oversees the largest share of the portfolio by ABL, the presence of other major operators, including Allos, JHSF, and Iguatemi, adds diversification in management approach and strengthens the fund’s bargaining position.

Sector Comparison & KPIs

XPML11 is the largest of 10 shopping mall FIIs listed on the IFIX. Its scale allows for a dedicated team of 4 analysts, 4 engineers, and a controller, a level of staffing rarely available to smaller funds.

XPML11’s 12-month dividend yield of 10.58% is 31 bps below the shopping FII median (10.89%). But given its size, it’s better benchmarked against peers like VISC11 and HGBS11.

XPML11s price-to-book value of 0.89x is above the median of its IFIX peers (0.80x), but less than HGBS11 (0.91x) and more than VISC11 (0.83x).

Aside from the COVID period, XPML11 has delivered consistent, inflation-beating dividends since 2019, despite several follow-on offerings. In fact, its dividend grew by a CAGR of 9.2% between 2019 and 2024.

More recently, between Q1’23 and Q1’25 the fund doubled its ABL and increased its unit count by 84%. Nonetheless, dividends were stable and price-per-book value actually increased.

The chart highlights XPML11’s ability to maintain stable monthly distributions even as it aggressively expanded its unit count. The spike in book value per unit during Q3'24 reflects a favorable portfolio revaluation. Despite temporary dilution from new units, the fund has sustained payouts at the upper end of its historical range, signaling solid cash generation from recent acquisitions.

This period of rapid growth could have led to dividend dilution or NAV compression if the fund had overpaid or deployed capital poorly. Instead, XPML11 not only maintained its payout, but its book value per unit rebounded sharply. This suggests the new assets were not dilutive and reinforces management’s disciplined execution.

Since Q1’23, XPML11 has delivered average same-store sales (SSS) growth of 6.4% per quarter, roughly in line with its largest peers (VISC11, HGBS11, MALL11, HSML11). The most recent quarter came in lower at 2.4%, primarily due to seasonal effects.

Vacancy rates have remained stable, ending April 2025 at 3.9%, down from 4.6% a year earlier. This is consistent with the average among peer funds. With over 4,700 tenant spaces, XPML11 has minimal exposure to any individual lessee, reducing concentration risk. Default rates (“inadimplência líquida”) have also remained under control, despite brief volatility in early 2025.
