JLEN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSETS GROUP LIMITED
("JLEN" or the "Company")
Net Asset Value Uplift
The Company expects to announce its unaudited Net Asset Value ("NAV") as at 31 March 2022 in mid-May 2022. While the Company has yet to finalise the 31 March 2022 NAV, the initial indication is that there will be a material increase in the NAV relative to 31 December 2021. An uplift in the range of 13 to 15 per cent is anticipated, although the portfolio valuation remains subject to independent third-party review as part of JLEN's usual year-end process.
The NAV uplift is driven primarily by a combination of higher short term power prices and inflation expectations in addition to gains from moving certain assets from acquisition cost to a discounted cashflow (DCF) valuation basis in accordance with JLEN's valuation policy.
JLEN will provide further information in the Q1 2022 NAV update announcement, expected in mid-May.
This announcement contains information that is inside information for the purposes of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014.
