Urban Logistics confident in sector after solid results

Fri, 24th May 2019 09:35

(Sharecast News) - Specialist logistics real estate investment trust reported a 12.6% improvement in its EPRA net asset value per share to 137.96p in its year-end results on Friday.The AIM-traded firm said its portfolio valuation as at 31 March stood at £186.4m, while its EPRA earnings per share were ahead 42.7% year-on-year at 7.01p.A second interim dividend was declared, of 4.02p per share, making for a total of 7.00p per share for the financial period, which was a 10.8% improvement over the prior year.A total of £20.4m of equity capital was raised from new and existing investors during the year in April, while the firm said its total accounting return, being net asset value plus dividends, stood at 17.7% for the period."The group has delivered another strong performance over the financial period," said chairman Nigel Rich."Three years on from the company's IPO we continue to build an increasingly diversified and high-quality urban logistics portfolio with secure income from our tenants."Rich noted that, after the firm undertook a capital raise of £20m in April, it subsequently focussed on investment and asset management activity."The fundamentals of our market remain attractive and we are confident of continuing to deliver consistent returns for our shareholders."Chief executive officer Richard Moffitt added that Urban Logistics remained real estate's "top performing" sub-sector, with the company remaining focused on growing its portfolio and enabling its tenant base to meet the challenges of e-commerce, modern logistics and evolving infrastructure demands."Growth of online retail continues to create yet more demand for distribution warehousing. Supply is not keeping pace, meaning logistics assets, especially 'last-mile' fulfilment centres, offer investors the opportunity for capital appreciation and rental income growth."I also note that over 80% of our tenants hold the highest possible credit rating, demonstrating the security of our income."Looking ahead, Moffitt said the firm had a "high-quality" acquisition pipeline, and was continuing to assess the potential for additional equity financing to grow the business."Whilst capital values are falling in the retail property sector, we are witnessing continued improvement in our sector due to both rental growth and lease activity - our focus being on quality tenants and the improvement of both rental and lease terms."This translates to value increases at the asset level and we remain confident in our ability to continue sourcing opportunities at attractive yields."

Custodian amends terms and reaffirms commitment to abrdn merger

(Alliance News) - Custodian Property Income REIT PLC on Wednesday said that it believed the proposed merger with abrdn Property Income Trust Ltd had a "compelling strategic and financial rationale", as the pair agreed to extend the merger commitment date to Friday.

Custodian and abrdn are real estate investment trusts with a portfolio of properties in the UK.

In January, the pair agreed terms for an all-share merger, which would create a real estate investment trust with combined assets totalling GBP1.0 billion.

Per the agreement, abrdn Property Income shareholders will receive 0.78 new Custodian shares for each share in the company.

On Tuesday, Custodian reaffirmed its belief that the merger holds a "compelling strategic and financial rationale".

The company said that it would be waiving its one-off project fee in connection with the merger, which amounted to GBP350,000.

Custodian also announced a reduction in the management fees payable to its investment manager, Custodian Capital Ltd, for a period of two years following the merger's completion. This fee will now calculated as 0.75% of the combined group's net asset value less than or equal to GBP500 million, changed from 0.9% in respect of NAV up to GBP200 million and 0.75% up to GBP500 million.

Custodian said that thesee amendments "reinforce the financial rationale of the recommended merger and represents further alignment between CREI, Custodian Capital and the shareholders of the combined group".

Custodian urged abrdn shareholders to not take action regarding the separate offer by Urban Logistics REIT PLC for abrdn. In February, Urban Logistics offered abrdn shareholders 0.47 of its shares for each share in the company. Shares in Urban Logistics are currently flat at 118.00 pence each in London on Wednesday.

In a separate announcement, abrdn said that the deadline for Custodian to make a firm intention to continue with the merger or confirm that it does not want to participate in the scheme has been extended to Friday at 5pm. Both abrdn and Custodian have agreed to these terms.

Shares in Custodian were down 1.3% at 77.00 pence each. Shares in abrdn were down 0.2% at 55.00 pence each, both in London on Wednesday.

Urban Logistics REIT PLC - UK-focused logistics real estate investment trust - Says demand for space continues to outstrip supply in the "last mile, last touch delivery" sub-sector for essential goods in urban locations. Reports completion of seven lease events since October 1, which "are evidence of significant asset management opportunities available to the company". Says new leases generated around GBP500,000 in additional rental income with passing rent increasing by 31% for over 400,000 square feet. Another two leases are either in solicitors' hands or under offer, which Urban Logistics expects to "further reduce portfolio vacancy".
