Overview

 

The markets in which the Group operates continue to be undersupplied. In Moscow the vacancy rate for Grade A warehousing is below one per cent and demand for stock continues to outstrip new supply. Prime yields in Moscow are now around 11 per cent and vary between 12 and 13 per cent in the regional cities in which the Group operates.

 

At today's date, the Group has annualised net operating income ("NOI") on its completed portfolio of $192.2 million including pre let agreements ("PLAs") and letters of intent ("LOIs"), the majority of the latter being PLAs on the newly completed phases at Noginsk and Klimovsk.

 

A PLA has also been signed with Dixy, the large Russian supermarket operator, for 39,284 square metres ("sqm") of new, build to suit, space at the next phase of the Noginsk project in Moscow. The lease term is 15 years. Construction is about to commence and the building is expected to be delivered in the first quarter of 2015. Build cost is $48 million and total income of $8.5 million per annum is expected, the higher rental rate due to the specification of the building.

 

The total potential annualised NOI of the portfolio, including the new Noginsk building, is now $207 million.

 

Work on the foundations of the first two buildings of our development site at Padikovo on the Nova Riga highway to the north west of Moscow has commenced. The Group is in early stage discussions to obtain construction finance for the first phase of the project, totalling 100,000sqm.

 

 

 

Financial

 

There are no significant near term financing maturities on the portfolio. Focus has been on the more expensive finance secured on regional assets and the Group refinanced the debt secured on its Rostov asset, repaying the existing facility of $35 million. The draw on the new facility was $61 million.

 

Following the acquisition of the Sholokovo project in Moscow last year, a further $9.7 million was drawn on the facility secured on that asset.

 

The newly built phases at Noginsk and Klimovsk are being used as security to draw additional funds from existing lenders, of $23 million and $33 million respectively. These have been credit approved and both have progressed to the facility document stage.

 

Group cash balances now stand at $181 million.

 

The tender offer buy back of 1 in 40 shares at 80p, announced on 9 September 2013, was fully subscribed and 14,319,990 shares were purchased on 16 October 2013. These shares have been cancelled.

 

Glyn Hirsch, Chief Executive of Raven Russia said:

 

"We have a secure, core portfolio funding our progressive distributions. Our plan for managed, organic growth is also working well, evidenced by the demand for the additional phases at our Noginsk and Klimovsk projects. Including the pre let building under construction at Noginsk, the potential annualised NOI of the portfolio is now $207 million."
