VGP A solid investment, undiscovered behind JV walls

In this note, we review the pipeline and rental model in light of the current tariff uncertainty. We believe that VGP is not well understood in the market due to the complexity of its JV structure. VGP is a hybrid developer/investor that gradually shifts more to the latter. We model the financials on a look-through basis and value the consolidated cash flows including JV's. VGP understands the skill of leveraging its permitted landbank into yielding assets. The investments are largely recycled through a JV-partner. The development gains drive NTA appreciation and supports the share price over time. The 4m25 trading statement came in line with our estimates on new developments and completions. As the demand for logistic space in their core markets remains strong, VGP cautiously accelerates its development activity. We like the focus on the cash return potential and cheap valuation.
