• Continued Net Losses and Declining NAV

  The company reported a GAAP net loss of ($691.6 million) for 2025, an increase from ($684.9 million) in 2024, and its accumulated deficit grew to ($4.8 billion). NAV per share for Class S shares declined from $21.82 in January 2025 to $20.14 in December 2025.

• Severe Share Repurchase Limitations Persist

  Share repurchase requests have consistently exceeded limits since October 2022. In January and February 2026, only approximately 3.5% and 3.2% of repurchase requests were satisfied, respectively, due to the 0.5% monthly NAV limit.

• Management Fee Waiver Linked to Repurchase Issues

  The Advisor has waived 20% of its management fee (reducing it from 1.25% to 1% of NAV) since May 2024, a measure tied to the company's inability to meet higher share repurchase limits.

• New $10 Billion Public Offering Launched

  The company commenced its fourth public offering on February 4, 2026, seeking to raise up to $10.0 billion in shares, indicating an ongoing need for capital.

Starwood Real Estate Income Trust, Inc.'s annual 10-K filing reveals a challenging financial year, marked by continued GAAP net losses of ($691.6 million) in 2025, following ($684.9 million) in 2024, and an increasing accumulated deficit of ($4.8 billion). Funds from operations (FFO) also saw a significant decline to $43.8 million in 2025 from $171.9 million in 2024. The Net Asset Value (NAV) per share for Class S shares consistently decreased throughout 2025, from $21.82 in January to $20.14 in December. A critical concern for investors in this non-traded REIT is the persistent and severe limitation on share repurchases; the company satisfied only approximately 3.5% of requests in January 2026 and 3.2% in February 2026, continuing a trend of unmet demand since October 2022. The Advisor has agreed to waive 20% of its management fee, reducing it from 1.25% to 1% of NAV, until repurchase limits are reinstated to higher thresholds, directly linking management compensation to shareholder liquidity. The company has commenced a new public offering of up to $10.0 billion in shares, indicating an ongoing need for capital. While the company successfully refinanced $3.0 billion in property-level debt in 2025 and an additional $1.7 billion in early 2026, and anticipates refinancing $1.2 billion in upcoming maturities, these efforts are set against a backdrop of declining asset values and significant shareholder illiquidity.
