Target Healthcare REIT (Target) continues to approach full investment, having completed the acquisitions of four care homes in the quarter to 31 March and one more in April. Portfolio value stood at £274.6m at the quarter-end (31 December: £253.1m). The Q217 dividend was the main cause of a slight decrease in EPRA NAV per share to 101.5p (31 December: 101.8p); we expect full dividend cover to be achieved in FY18 as the company becomes fully invested. The secular trends of an ageing population and a persistent lack of modern care homes create a significant opportunity for further investment to underpin the attractive dividend yield.

Asset and income growth
Of the 8.5% increase in portfolio value, 50bp was due to growth of the like-for-like portfolio, driven by rent uplifts and some yield compression. The remainder (c £20.2m) was attributable to the acquisitions of two care homes in Dorset let for 35 years to existing tenant Care Concern, and two others, in Nottinghamshire and Essex, let to the group’s 16th tenant, Oakdale, and Care Concern. Diversification of income continued in April with the acquisition for £6.1m of a home in Dover, let for 35 years to Athena Healthcare. Before that acquisition, the portfolio had passing rent of £19.8m (net initial yield of 6.75%) and an average term of 29.6 years.
Outlook
Target aims to have LTV of c 20% (31 March: 10.9%), it currently has £20m of debt available for investment and is in the late stages of discussions with a new provider to obtain further funding. Interest rate swaps mean that the cost of existing debt will be 2.36% to June 2019 and 2.25% from then until September 2021. Target reports that it has several investment opportunities under review and, as noted above, the structural drivers underlying its chosen market are likely to keep the pipeline full. We continue to expect that Target will achieve full investment in the current financial year (ending 30 June) and that the FY18 dividend will be 100% covered as a result.
Valuation: Attractive long-term income
Target has the longest leases in its sector, inexpensive debt, low LTV and a prospective yield of 5.4% (FTSE EPRA NAREIT index 3.4%). We expect its growing portfolio of income streams to cover the attractive dividend fully in FY18, and Target’s shares have performed well in recent weeks as it approaches full investment. The 14% premium to the last reported EPRA NAV may continue to converge with other long-lease healthcare property investors (averaging c 21%) as that process continues.
