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 equit...

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 dividen...

Regional REIT - Dividend rebase pragmatic and sustainable
Regional REIT’s (RGL’s) post-pandemic recovery in new lettings paused in H123, as occupiers adopted a cautious ‘wait and see’ approach, although rents increased and the strong ‘return to the office’ supports RGL’s expectation that leasing will accelerate. With DPS lowered to match reduced income prospects, the shares have fallen sharply, maintaining a sector-high dividend yield. Including asset sales focused on low-income properties, our forecasts show the rebased dividend to be fully covered an...

Regional REIT - Covered dividend with a 12% yield
Regional REIT (RGL) delivered a good income performance in FY22, led by strong leasing (well above pre-pandemic levels) and continued strong rent collection. DPS of 6.6p was fully covered and we forecast the same for FY23. Market-wide valuation yield widening reduced NAV and increased gearing, but RGL notes that it has ample headroom available across its debt facilities, which are fixed at a cost of 3.5%. In this note we explain why we think DPS is sustainable and review some of the key issues t...

Regional REIT - Operational progress supports DPS
Regional REIT’s (RGL) Q322 DPS declared of 1.65p is in line with its target of 6.6p for the year (+3%).

With all debt fixed/hedged for almost five years, interest costs are unaffected by rising interest rates, although higher bond yields are having a negative impact on asset values across the broad UK mark...

With pandemic restrictions lifted and the return to work underway, Regional REIT’s (RGL) H122 results show good and continuing operational progress. The sharp rise in energy prices affected property costs, but this should moderate with government support measures. Combined with income seasonality and fully fixed/hedged borrowing costs, RGL expects a stronger H222 performance and reiterated its full-year DPS target of 6.6p.
