Regional REIT Limited (LSE: RGL) ("Regional REIT", "the Group" or "the Company") today announces its Full Year 2016 Gross Investment Properties Valuation and Q4 2016 Dividend.

During 2016 the Group completed property acquisitions totalling £133.6m and disposals (net of costs) of £44.9m.

 

The Group's net loan-to-value ratio was c. 41% as at 31 December 2016.

 

 

Fourth Quarter 2016 Dividend Declaration

 

The Company will pay a dividend of 2.40 pence per share for the period 1 October 2016 to 31 December 2016. The dividend payment will be made on 13 April 2017 to shareholders on the register as at 3 March 2017. The ex-dividend date will be 2 March 2017.

 

In respect of the financial year 2016 Regional REIT has declared dividends amounting to 7.65 pence per share, at the higher end of its targeted dividend yield at the time of its Initial Public Offering (November 2015) of a dividend of 7-8% (based on the original offer price of 100 pence per share) and in line with the current analyst consensus.

 

 

Stephen Inglis, Group Property Director and Chief Investment Officer of London & Scottish Investments Limited, the Asset Manager, commented: "In the course of a challenging year for the UK commercial property market I am extremely pleased that we have delivered steady progress with the portfolio and, much as we anticipated, that the valuation has been sustained in the aftermath of the referendum vote. This performance has underpinned our confidence in the robustness of the UK's office and light industrial property markets and in our active asset management."

 

"Our dividend establishes us as one of the highest yielding REIT shares and delivers on a key commitment we made with the IPO. The dividend is underpinned by the income strength of the business."

 

 

The Group confirms that its 2016 Preliminary Results Announcement will take place on Thursday, 23 March, 2017 (previously announced as 30 March, 2017). For its full year 2016 results the Group will initiate an accrual for the Managers' Performance Fee (for the initial Performance Period ending 31 December 2018) and will undertake a partial impairment of goodwill.
