Quarterly investor update
15 November 2023
GCP Infra is pleased to announce the publication of its investor report, which is available at www.gcpinfra.com.
At 30 September 2023:
· The net asset value was, as previously announced, 109.79 pence per ordinary share;
· The Company was exposed to a diversified and partially inflation protected portfolio of 51 investments with an unaudited valuation of £1.0 billion; and
· The portfolio had a weight-adjusted average annualised yield of 7.9%, principal outstanding of £1.0 billion and an average life of ten years.
In the quarter to 30 September 2023, the Company completed a refinancing of two existing loan notes secured against two waste-wood biomass projects, valued at c. £85 million as at 31 March 2023 and committed to a new £50 million loan note as part of a syndicated facility supporting the same, and one additional, biomass project. This refinancing generated £50 million of net cash proceeds that were used to repay the Company's revolving credit facility. Prepayment fees and valuation impacts totalling c. £10 million led to a c. 1.2 pence per ordinary share uplift to the Company's net asset value. At 30 September 2023, the Company had £104 million (30 June 2023: £154 million) outstanding under its revolving credit arrangements.
Share buyback programme
The Company remains committed to pursuing buyback opportunities in line with the strategy that has been set out previously, and to benefit from the investment opportunity that the Company's shares offer at the current price. At 30 September 2023, the Company had bought back 13,565,019 shares.
Company broker
On 10 October 2023, the Company announced the appointment of RBC Capital Markets ("RBC") as the Company's joint corporate broker, to work alongside Stifel Nicolaus Europe Limited. RBC's appointment was the result of a process that was run by the Company to identify and appoint a party to further support the delivery of the Company's strategy.
