Financials

Since the end of Q324, the company has successfully advanced c £30m of non-core disposals at a more than 20% premium to prevailing book values. On an annualised basis, these materially enhance earnings, while reducing LTV and eliminating voids. While the unsuccessful proposed all-share merger with API would have brought beneficial increased scale, the company continues to demonstrate its ability to organically deliver continuing income-focused returns from its diversified portfolio of higher-yielding, below-institutional sized regional assets. Rents have continued to grow and the portfolio continues to have strong income reversion potential.
