Supermarket Income REIT (SUPR), listed on the premium segment of the LSE, invests in supermarket property, let to leading UK supermarket operators, on long, RPI-linked leases. The investment objective is to provide an attractive level of income, with the potential for capital growth.

SUPR’s supermarket assets provide visible income from long, mostly indexed, leases, and a strong occupier covenant. The grocery sector is non-cyclical, and SUPR’s mostly omnichannel stores straddle both the largest and fastest-growing segments of the market.

Financials

In FY24, rent reviews and accretive acquisitions more than offset the prior year contribution from its now divested, highly successful JV. Underlying EPS grew 4% to 6.1p, fully covering DPS. To underline its commitment to progressive dividends, the company targets a modest uplift in the current year to 6.12p. The JV sale allowed SUPR to pay down borrowings as interest rates remained high, but as the rate cycle starts to turn, it has identified attractive opportunities to resume accretive portfolio growth, both in the UK and in France. Earnings accretion on the recent Carrefour stores acquisition has been locked in with long-term, fixed rate, euro-denominated borrowing. With weaker property values, EPRA NTA/share fell to 90p (FY23: 98p) but was fairly stable in H2. Strong store sales growth, increased affordability of rents and falling interest rates suggest valuations may now increase.
