About Pacific Industrial & Logistics REIT

Pacific Industrial & Logistics REIT plc is a property investment company, quoted on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, (AIM: PILR).

The Company has been established to invest in UK based industrial and logistics properties with the objective of generating attractive dividends and capital returns for its shareholders. Its investment strategy focuses on strategically located smaller single let industrial and logistics properties servicing high-quality tenants. Investment returns will be generated by an experienced management team focusing on quality stock selection and active asset management.

A number of structural and commercial factors currently support the attractive opportunity in the last mile/regional industrial and logistics real estate sub-sectors targeted by the Company, including: strong occupier demand, (driven by the growth of e-commerce and investment by retailers in their associated supply chain) and a decline in the supply of lettable space in industrial and logistics real estate across the UK (being more than one third lower than the most recent peak of 2009).

Acquisitions are targeted in the 6.5-7.5% net initial yield bracket, (with affordable underlying rents in the region of £4.50-£5.50 per sq. ft.), on an overall LTV of 35-40% and a significant margin over financing costs, thus presenting attractive income, capital growth and total return opportunities.
