Financials

Triple Point Social Housing REIT (SOHO) continues to acquire shares under its accretive share repurchase programme of up to £5m. Dependent on market conditions and pricing, the proceeds of the potential sale of property assets may also be deployed in further share repurchases. In FY22, indexed rental growth broadly offset higher borrowing costs and expected credit losses and the DPS target (5.46p) was met. A path has been set for restoring rent collection from the two in arrears (17% of rent roll) and the FY23 target will be announced with the Q123 update. Property valuations were robust versus the broader commercial property sector, resulting from long, indexed leases, and the NAV total return was a positive 5.7%. The company is well advanced with plans to roll out a new risk-sharing lease clause aimed at supporting lessees to address issues identified by the regulator.
