Portfolio update

 

As at 31 December 2021, the Company had cash of £153.8m and had drawn £120m on its £325m revolving credit facility. The Company also had undrawn commitments on existing investments collectively valued at £136.0m. The Company's invested portfolio consisted of 64 private debt investments and 12 infrastructure bonds across 8 sectors and 30 subsectors. It had an annualised yieldtomaturity (or yieldtoworst in the case of callable bonds) of 8.5% and a cash yield of 5.9%. The weighted average portfolio life is approximately 4.3 years. Private debt investments represented 93% of the total portfolio and 48% of the portfolio comprised floating rate assets. Investments which are preoperational represented 10.6% of total assets.

 

The Company's invested portfolio remains geographically diverse with 48% located across the US, 16% in the UK, 31% in Europe, and 5% in Australia/New Zealand. Currently the Company is not investing in Portugal or Italy but has selectively invested in opportunities in Spain. The Company's pipeline of economic infrastructure debt investments remains strong and is diversified by sector, subsector, and jurisdiction. At month end, approximately 100% of the Company's NAV consisted of either Sterling assets or was hedged into Sterling. The Company has adequate resources to cover margin calls on its hedging book.

 

The Investment Adviser continues to work closely with various stakeholders on the recovery of the Company's loan to Bulb Energy, while at the same time ensuring that the interests of consumers and the employees of Bulb are respected. The mark on the loan has been updated reflecting current information, resulting in a modest increase over the month. Further information will be provided as matters progress.

 

In addition, the Company's loan to a property in Washington DC that is leased to a private school has been slightly marked down this month due to a delay in the refinancing of the project. However, the owner of the property is actively engaged with new providers of capital to put the project on a stable footing and, should those efforts be successful, it is likely that a positive outcome can be secured for the Company's loan.

 

The Company has also received positive news on KWO, a German logistics and industrial park owner, as they have reached an agreement with the grid operator to settle past disputed environmental levy charges. This removes a material litigation risk from KWO and provides more predictability and visibility for the cash flows and the business model over the loan's tenor.

 

The Company's settled investment activities during December include:

 

• A purchase for $31.8m of Windstream bonds, a high-speed Broadband provider in the USA;

• An additional loan of €20.0m to Project Camden, an electricity generator in the Netherlands;

• A loan for £13.9m to Project Spinnaker, a highspeed Broadband provider in the UK;

• An additional $4.0m loan to Sunrun Radcliffe, a manufacturer of solar energy equipment in the USA;

• An additional $0.6m disbursement to Lanthanum, a leading developer of hyperscale data centres in the USA.

 

The following assets sold or prepaid in December:

 

• A loan of £42.4m to Project Rose, an accommodation provider in the healthcare industry, based in the UK;

• A partial sale of €15.3m of Madrid Metro bonds, a Spanish-based public transport refinancing project;

• A loan of $13.2 to Terra-Gen, a renewables energy developer for wind, solar and energy storage facilities, based in the USA;

• A partial sale of €1.5m of Ziton Wind Enterprise Bonds, a specialised operations and maintenance service provider for offshore wind farms, based in Denmark.
