KEY EVENTS IN JUNE 2020 AMONGST THE GERALD EVE TRACKED INDEX INDUSTRIAL STRATEGIES The industrial sector REITs share price increased 5% across June and is 3% down from pre- Covid-19 levels, showing exceptional performance relative to other sectors/strategies. It’s no secret that the industrial and logistics sector has not only been relatively unscathed by the coronavirus crisis, but in many cases actively boosted by it. Shifts towards online retail have been accelerated by the lockdown, and warehouses are set to be the major beneficiaries. Investor interest in the sector has continued its pre-crisis upward trajectory. • Warehouse REIT (WHR) announced on 6 July 2020 that they had successfully completed a £153m equity raise, ahead of the original £100m target in March. WHR report that this raise will be used to fund their near- term pipeline of acquisitions, stating that their total ‘firepower’ is now well in excess of £200m. • London Metric (LMP) reported Year-End results on the 10 June 2020. Contracted income was reported up 37% to £123.3m, assisted by the £455m Mucklow acquisition (amongst others). March quarter date rent collection recorded at 93%. NAV per share reported at 171.7p with current share price trading at NAV. Post year-end LMP have acquired £85m of assets including long income assets let to Kwik Fit and Euro Garages, an urban logistics unit let to Ocado and five supermarkets via a S&L with Waitrose. • Stenprop Limited (STP) – the company continues to deliver its transition plan to be wholly Multi Let Industrial (MLI) / Urban Logistics by March 2022 with currently around two thirds of its portfolio weighted to industrial vs 46% the previous year. STP reported Year-End results on the 12 June 2020. At 31 May 2020, 82% of the portfolio’s total rent invoiced for the March 2020 quarter date has been collected. Total dividend for the year ended 31 March 2020 of 6.75 pence per share (2019: 6.75 pence per share). NAV per share of 139p with share price currently trading at a c.16% discount. • SEGRO (SGRO) announced the acquisition of Perivale Park for £202.5m NIY 3.5% and raised £680m via a share placing and retail offer. SEGRO also announced the sale of City Park Vienna to Nuveen Real Estate for €65m concluding SEGRO’s presence in Austria, in line with the Group’s strategy. The sheds vs retail divergence couldn’t be more clearly shown through the share price performance (rebased from Feb 2016) of SEGRO vs Hammerson as below: Hammerson vs SEGRO – Share price (rebased from Feb’16) Source: Gerald Eve Research, Publicly Available Information Index = 100 250 200 150 100 50 0 Feb ‘16 Sept ‘16 Apr ‘17 Nov‘17 Jun‘18 Jan‘19 Aug‘19 Mar’20 geraldeve.com MIXED STRATEGIES Mixed sector/strategy portfolios are down on average 34% from pre-Covid-19 levels. In our view certain mid-cap entities have been harshly written down considering strong rent collection performance since February relative to other strategies and their respective asset sector weightings. It is unsurprising to note Private Equity are circling some of these mid-cap listed entities given the significant share price falls since February and the heavy discounts to NAV. Apollo’s proposed acquisition of the entire share capital of Atlantic Leaf, Tristan Capital’s acquisition of 13.2% of share capital of McKay Securities and Starwood’s acquisition of 29.4% of the share capital in RDI are recent examples. We expect this trend to continue into H2 with further M&A and consolidation. • McKay Securities (MCKS) reported Year-End results on the 9 June 2020. Portfolio valuation of £510m (March 2019: £482.7m). MCKS has minimal retail or leisure asset exposure in their portfolio with 77% weighted to offices and 18% to industrial. Total dividend for the year of 7.2p per share (March 2019: 10.2p), reduced by 29.4%. NAV per share of 329p with share price currently trading at a c.45% discount. Tristan Capital Partners are now a 13.2% shareholder. • Atlantic Leaf Properties Limited (ALP) – Apollo have announced the proposed acquisition of the entire share capital in ALP for approximately £152m or 80.5 pence per share representing a premium of over 33% against 60.53 pence per share prior to the statement, which reflects a c.22% discount to last reported NAV.
