Final disposals within Napier 50/50 Joint Venture

NewRiver REIT plc

("NewRiver" or the "Company")

Final disposals within Napier 50/50 Joint Venture

 

NewRiver and PAF Lux SCA, SICAV RAIF, acting on behalf of its compartment PAF - Bravo III Compartment ("BRAVO") are pleased to announce the completion of the disposal of Kittybrewster Retail Park in Aberdeen and Glendoe and Telford Retail Parks in Inverness for £62.6 million (NRR share: £31.3 million) to RI UK 1 Limited. The assets generated net rental income of £5.7 million (NRR share: £2.9 million) during FY23 and had a gross asset value of £64.4 million (NRR share: £32.2 million) at 31 March 2023. The sale proceeds will be used to reduce NewRiver's net debt as at 31 March 2023 by £31.8 million (net cash receipt of £19.8 million and repayment of secured debt of £12.0 million) to £169.5 million on a proforma basis which reduces NewRiver's LTV as at 31 March 2023 to 30.3% on a proforma basis.

 

The disposal comprises the final properties in the Napier Joint Venture, bringing the total sale receipts from Napier to £76.0 million, reflecting a blended net initial yield of 7.4%. Total receipts are 26% higher than the price paid when NewRiver and BRAVO acquired the portfolio in June 2019 from a UK Institution for £60.5 million, which reflected a blended net initial yield of 9.8%. Since acquisition the Napier Joint Venture has generated an IRR of 16% and following the disposal of Napier, NewRiver and BRAVO continue to own two assets within a separate venture.

 

Allan Lockhart, Chief Executive commented: "The Napier Joint Venture is a great example of why we like retail parks and working in capital partnerships. Over our four years of ownership and management, we have been able to crystallise compelling returns for ourselves and our partner by utilising our specialist retail platform at each stage of the process, all the way from disciplined stock selection to successful delivery of asset management plans in order to secure a successful exit. In addition, the disposal means that the strength of NewRiver's balance sheet position is further improved, with proforma LTV now at 30.3% and significant cash resources giving maximum flexibility and optionality around capital allocation."

 

NewRiver has completed several successful initiatives across the portfolio, with highlights including:

 

Kittybrewster Retail Park, Aberdeen

 

Let 10,000 sq ft unit which was vacant at acquisition to Wren Kitchens on 10 year lease

Following Harveys administration in 2020, quickly re-let 10,000 sq ft unit to Dreams on 10 year term
