Retail Estates FY23/24 Results: In line on lfl basis, aiming for a retail park BXL-Periphery

RET reported its FY23/24 results (March end) more or less in line with our estimates. EPRA Net profit grew LfL 9.77% yoy (excl. FBI refunds). EPS amounted to EUR 6.18 a LfL growth of 6.81%. We expected an EPRA EPS of EUR 6.28. The cost of debt rose to 2.3% (vs. 2.2% expected). NRI however surpassed our expectation at 138.8m vs. 137.9m expected. RET indicates it is considering a contribution in kind for a retail park in the Brussels periphery (no financial details). We estimate a 20-40m investment value and like the CiK strategy to grow as long as the P/NTA discount is > 10%. Occupancy was stable at 97.9%. RET guided its FY23/24 dividend of EUR 5.1, in line with our expectation of 5.07. The debt ratio increased 8bps to 44.62%. The FV of the existing portfolio was revised UPWARDS by 51.2m. The NAV rose to 80.94 +7.0% yoy. We maintain our Buy and EUR 76.0 target. Analyst meeting at 10h30 in Ternat
