CTP CMD kicks off in Brno, EPRA EPS24 guidance in line
CTP issued a PR in which it guided the adjusted EPRA EPS24 within a range of EUR 0.80 - 0.82. That is a growth of 11-14% vs. adj. EPRA EPS23 of 0.72. We have adj. EPRA EPS24 at 0.83 and EPS23 at 0.71, so in line. The company is growing a bit faster than we expected, but is also guiding for higher cost-of-debt. The guidance assumes a like-for-like rental growth of around 5%, driven by indexation and reversion of expiring leases. Deliveries are expected to range between 1–1.5 m in 2024. CTP expects to pay out 70-80% of its adj. EPRA EPS. CTP adjusts the normal CTP for company specific costs that add about 6-8cts, but do not take into account the unrealised development gains of around 90 and 70cts per share over FY23 and FY24. CTP also confirmed its medium-term growth targets of 20m sqm of GLA and over EUR 1.2bn of rental income before the end of the decade.
The Group's financial framework remains:
• LTV target between 40-45%
• Target Yield on Cost of 11%
• WAULT above 6 years
• Occupancy around 95%
