Update: Accelerated dividend cover

The interim results showed strong profit growth with good operational gearing as a result of ongoing cost and funding efficiencies. Cover of the progressive dividend lifted to 89%. Our revised forecasts now show full cover in H2 of the current year, with a prospective yield of 4.9%. Following a conclusive election result, there is continuity of policy towards the NHS, providing political and financial support for its five-year plan. In this context, the prospects for continuing asset growth look good. Property yields have contracted but funding conditions remain strong, maintaining a healthy spread and opportunity for ongoing accretive growth.
