The completion of its £110.5m (before costs) equity raise has reduced gearing, including full repayment of the £50m retail bonds, and provides additional flexibility to RGL’s capex and disposal programmes. LTV has been reduced from c 57% immediately ahead of the issue to c 41% and should fall further with continuing disposals. DPS has been reset at a level that we believe is sustainable, can grow and maintains a high dividend yield. With funding uncertainty lifted, investor attention is likely to refocus on operational performance and the wider outlook for the regional office sector. RGL’s own data show a strong return to the office, the supply of which continues to shrink, and although rising, current rent levels and increased costs do not justify new development The most recent IPF survey (May) showed an expectation of positive office sector total returns in each year to 2028, averaging 5.8% pa.
