Regional REIT - Lancing the boil?

Regional REIT (RGL) has declared an unchanged Q423 DPS of 1.2p per share and is making good progress with asset sales. However, with H223 property valuations following the market lower, and a subsequent further increase in the loan to value ratio (LTV), investors are focused on RGL’s refinancing plans, particularly the near maturity of its unsecured bonds. The company is considering a range of options, explored in this note, which likely include an equity raise. By removing uncertainty, an equity raise has the potential to materially improve the share rating.

Regional REIT - Underlying progress but leasing remains subdued

Regional REIT’s (RGL’s) Q323 trading update includes details of further leasing events, at rents ahead of market levels, and continuing asset sales, at or above book value. However, with the balance of occupiers remaining cautious, as economic prospects are assessed, rent roll and occupancy weakened. Supported by the strong ‘return to the office’, RGL continues to expect an acceleration in leasing, to provide the underpinning for its efforts to reduce gearing while maintaining income and dividends.

As LSTech is focused on similar verticals as AUSTRIACARD’s DTT business, the deal provides the potential for cross-selling as well as the enhancement of existing AUSTRIACARD solutions.

Brighton Pier Group - Sweating the assets

The popularity of Brighton Pier Group’s (BPG’s) diversified low-ticket leisure offer underpins confidence in a significant bounce back from its FY23 ‘annus horribilis’ as well as in potential benefits from new initiatives, notably a £1 admission fee to the Palace Pier (annually over four million visitors as a free attraction) during key summer trading for non-residents of Brighton. The coincidence in FY23 of harsh weather, train strikes and protracted disruption from a fire near the company’s most important site, the Pier, is surely exceptional and it is testimony to BPG’s resilience that H223...

Borussia Dortmund - London calling

Borussia Dortmund’s Q324 results demonstrated some phasing but it has made good progress year-to-date. The focus of attention now is the team’s progress to the Champions League final for the first time since 2013, having beaten more-favoured (by the bookmakers) and higher-funded teams along the way. Despite being less successful than usual in the Bundesliga, the club will take part in the Champions League next season as well as the revamped FIFA Club World Cup in the summer of 2025, which are all helpful in increasing the club’s global exposure and appeal.
