Investment summary
JLG’s H119 results showed that as at 30 June 2019 the NAV per share had risen 0.6%, to 325p. NAV growth was restricted by asset write-downs to Australian (13p/share) and European (11p/share) renewable assets. The write-down to the valuation of the renewable assets was offset, in part, by a strong performance in value enhancements from its existing projects (16p/share) which, along with the ’embedded’ sources of value creation (18p/share), contributed significantly to the fair value movement (35p/share). The DPS increased 2.2% to 1.84p per share, in line with our estimates. We have revised our forecasts to reflect the reduction in the value of some of the renewable assets seen during H1. Our revised forecast for FY19e NAV per share is now 353p (previously 360p). Despite the mixed H1, JLG remains confident for FY19e and beyond.
