Net Asset Value, Portfolio Update and Dividend Declaration

 

Net Asset Value

JLEN, the listed environmental infrastructure fund, announces that its unaudited Net Asset Value as at 31 March 2021 is £504.2 million (92.2 pence per share), a decrease of 3.7 pence per share since the last published NAV as at 31 December 2020, predominantly due to the impact of increased UK Corporation Tax rates from 19% to 25% from April 2023 for the remainder of the life of the portfolio, reducing the NAV by 3.7 pence. Other factors impacting the NAV include a small downward revision to power prices forecast which was broadly offset by portfolio enhancements including asset upgrades and cost savings.

Portfolio update

During the financial year to 31 March 2021, the renewables portfolio of the Company has performed well. The anaerobic digestion portfolio has continued its trend of outperformance, achieving a 2% positive variance against target and the solar portfolio also exceeded its generation target by 2%. Production of the wind portfolio showed a marginal negative variance of 1% against budget, mostly due to low wind speeds over the winter period.

In aggregate, energy generation was 0.4% above budget for the financial year to 31 March 2021. This is excluding the Bio Collectors food waste processing plant which, as previously reported, has experienced a reduction in the volume of waste tonnages delivered due to the ongoing pandemic.

The waste and wastewater concession-based projects continue to deliver distributions in line with expectations and have performed well against contractual targets.

Over the course of the year, JLEN has continued to grow its portfolio acquiring six new assets. This includes two assets which further diversify the Company's portfolio into grid scale batteries and low carbon refuelling for heavy goods vehicles.

Dividend

The Company also announces a quarterly interim dividend of 1.69 pence per share for the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 March 2021.

Together with the interim dividends paid during the financial year to date of 5.07 pence per share, the Company will have paid total dividends of 6.76 pence per share in respect of the year ended 31 March 2021, in line with the dividend target set out in the 2020 Annual Report.

The Company also announces an increase in the target dividend for the upcoming financial year to 6.80 pence per share for the financial year to 31 March 2022.
