The 3Q24 results are slightly above our expectations on the back of an improved operating margin. The guidance of EUR 1.15 EPRA EPS is reiterated. Home invest is one of the best performers to date among Belgian REITs. However, in the last month there was profit taking and negative news on regulation. As of 01/11/2024, rent increases in Brussels (66% portfolio) are on hold for 9 consecutive years. This was already the case for the 3-6-9 contracts but now impacts short term contracts and tenant de...
We update our model after the EUR 50.8m fair value of investment properties increase and announced asset sales. It is both the 4.2% like-for-like rental growth in 1Q24 and the adjustment to the valuation methodology that drove the fair value increase. This increases the average fair value/m2 from EUR 3080/m2 at YE23 to approximately EUR 3286/m2. This compares to an average of EUR 3.364/m2 in the Brussels Region where HOMI holds 67% of its assets. The EUR 40.6m asset sales have a 2.0% negative im...
Home Invest Belgium reports FY23 results slightly above our expectations. NRI increases 11.3% YoY on the back of 7.2% like-for-like growth. HOMI expects further top line growth above inflation due to strong market fundamentals like the 98.5% occupancy rate and close to 100% rent collection. In FY24 the focus is on portfolio rebalancing and delivering the committed projects. We increase our FY24 and FY25 EPS estimates by 4% and 5% respectively on the back of lower interest costs and a higher oper...
Last week, Home Invest Belgium raised EUR 26.7m in an accelerated book building at an issue price of EUR 14.90, 29.11% below last reported NTA at 1Q23 of EUR 21.02. The issue generates more liquidity to serve its current committed FY23-FY24 capex plan of 73.0m. We assume EUR 17.5m of this EUR 73.0m is already spent over 1H23. The equity raise has a pro-forma positive impact of 3.2% on the 1Q23 RREC debt ratio (JV debt incl.) and lowers our YE23 debt ratio estimate from 55.3% to 51.8%. Our EPRA N...
