<li>FY03/2026 headline ROIC is roughly 6.8%; removing property revaluation noise lifts it to 8.1%, while occupancy normalization suggests roughly 9–10%.</li>
<li>That narrows our original forecasting error but does not erase it: even seasoned-capital returns around 10–11% remain below our former 20% hurdle.</li>
