INDUSTRIAL MULTI PROPERTY TRUST PLC

(the "Company" or together with its subsidiaries the "Group")

 

 

Industrial Multi Property Trust plc is today announcing an Interim Management Statement for the quarter ending 30 September 2014 and the period up until the date of this announcement. The information contained herein has not been audited.

Highlights:

· Adjusted net asset value ("NAV") per ordinary share - 234 pence as at 30 September 2014 (223 pence at 30 June 2014), an increase of 11 pence (+4.9%).

· Adjusted earnings per ordinary share ("EPS") - loss of 12.8 pence for the nine months to 30 September 2014 (loss of 7.7 pence for the six months to 30 June 2014).

· Portfolio valuation increased - the Group's property portfolio was valued at £79.3 million as at 30 September 2014 (£78.1 million as at 30 June 2014), an increase of £1.2 million (+1.5%).

· Occupancy improved - the occupancy level by estimated rental value stood at 87.6% as at 30 September 2014, compared with 86.2% as at 30 June 2014, an increase of 1.4%.

· New lettings achieved - 20 new lettings and 19 lease renewals achieved during the quarter ending 30 September 2014 (representing 6.3% of the estimated rental value ("ERV") of the total portfolio, based on the final achievable annual rent including stepped rent).

Revaluation and NAV

The Company's adjusted NAV per ordinary share was 234 pence as at 30 September 2014 which represents an increase of 4.9% from that reported at 30 June of 223 pence. Primarily, this increase resulted from the revaluation of the property portfolio.

The Group's property portfolio was valued at 30 September 2014 by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited at £79.3 million and will next be valued by an independent valuer as at 31 December 2014.

Adjusted EPS

The Company's adjusted EPS was a loss of 12.8 pence during the period ended 30 September 2014. Despite the improved occupancy and underlying rental income, the adjusted EPS loss continues primarily due to finance costs.

The Investment Adviser and Manager continues to progress the published strategy to deliver shareholder value, namely:

· To enhance net rental income.

· To reduce borrowings and to reduce the loan to value through limited strategic sales.

· To deploy capital when 'value add' opportunities are identified.

Occupancy across the portfolio has increased with 87.6% of the portfolio let as at 30 September 2014 based on the ERV, compared with 86.2% as at 30 June 2014. Progress continues to be made in letting void units; 20 new lettings and 19 lease renewals have been successfully completed in the quarter to 30 September 2014 at a final achievable annual rent, including stepped rent, of approximately £0.6 million per annum.
