Continued strong performance

 

Assura plc ("Assura"), the leading primary care property investor and developer, today announces its Trading Update for the third quarter ending 31 December 2019.

 

Jonathan Murphy, CEO, said:

 

"Assura continued to make strong progress in the third quarter. We expanded our market-leading portfolio with the acquisition of six high-quality assets and completed our third development of the year in Stow-on-the-Wold. We also grew our immediate pipeline of acquisition and development opportunities, reinforcing what was already our strongest in 10 years, to £252 million including 13 developments currently on site."

 

"With the new Government enshrining in law increased funding for the NHS and taking forward the Health Infrastructure Plan, better primary care facilities for patients, staff and services are at the heart of the agenda. In this context, Assura is well positioned to deliver high-quality assets and value for money for the NHS."

 

Building the portfolio

·; Current portfolio of 563 properties.

·; Development completed at Stow-on-the-Wold, taking total to three completed year to date at a total cost of £11.8 million.

·; Currently on site with 13 developments at the period end with a total development cost of £66 million.

·; Immediate acquisitions pipeline further increased to £96 million, up from £65 million at September 2019.

·; Total immediate pipeline, including on site developments, worth £252 million, up from £206 million at September 2019.

 

Growing the rent roll

·; Five lease re-gears completed in the quarter taking cumulative year-to-date re-gears to 18. These leases represent £1.7 million of the Group's rent roll, adding a weighted average of 10.2 years WAULT to those 18 leases.

Robust balance sheet
