A Q124 update confirms continuing strong inflation-linked rental growth and improving rent collection (93.3% vs 90.2% in December). Triple Point’s (SOHO’s) FY24 DPS target is however unchanged at 5.46p as the board considers the impact of recently announced asset sale plans and the transfer of properties from one of its two struggling tenants, Parasol, to a new tenant, Westmoreland. SOHO continues to engage with MySpace where it has been seeking to agree a creditor agreement. Q124 DPS was 1.06x covered by EPRA earnings. Rental growth more than offset yield widening and NAV/share increased 0.3% to 114.2p. Heads of terms have been signed on the sale of a more than £20m portfolio, to fund share repurchases, while also maintaining a suitable level of leverage. While accretive to earnings and NAV, this may create a short-term earnings drag until the proceeds are deployed.
