The Q124 DPS was maintained at 1.2p but full year DPS will partly depend on Regional REIT’s chosen route for refinancing the £50m 4.5% unsecured bond maturing in August and its broader loan-to-value (LTV) reduction plans. It continues to make good progress with asset disposals but these are unlikely to be sufficient to fund repayment of the bond. Q1 sales were £15m (before costs) with sales of £1.1m completed since. The disposal programme includes 59 properties totalling £111m. Strong rent collection and leasing momentum was maintained, at rent levels above estimated rental value, and EPC ratings strengthened further. EPRA occupancy was little changed at 79.9% but, allowing for expiries and including asset sales (we estimate £1.4m pa of rental income), rent roll was £2.3m lower at £65.5m. Borrowings reduced by c £8m to c £413m with cash and equivalents of £33.5m little changed. Pro-forma LTV was 55.2%.
