This acquisition is part of Lar España’s strategy to increase its exposure to retail assets in exchange for office buildings. This strategy makes a lot of sense given: 1) the higher yield of retail assets that should lead to a larger DPS; and 2) LRE’s long track record of creating additional value on retail assets.
The c.6% net initial yield is in line with the average Lar España’s net yield (5.8% 2018e BKTS). In addition, Lar España will become an undeniable leader in the retail Parks segment. It could contribute to achieve synergies with tenants that operate in other Lar España’s retail properties and to attract new tenants to Rivas Futura.
We reiterate our Buy recommendation with a target price of €10.1/share.
