The EUR 455m new October 2030 bond that GTC is using to refinance the EUR 494m June 2025 maturity has been priced at 95 cents to the EUR, translating into a 7.7% yield to maturity. This marks a key milestone for the company, which will be able to use the proceeds to repay the EUR 494m June 2026E tranche. This removes a key near-term going concern threat for GTC. However, it does not mean that the company will be out of the woods completely. GTC needs to still extend the bank loans in Germany and...

Yesterday, GTC announced that it has started to refinance the EUR 500m June 2026 bond tranche, of which there is EUR 494m outstanding. It is aiming to issue an EUR 455m 5Y (October 2030) secured bond with a 6.5% coupon. The new tranche will be issued initially by an entity separate from GTC Group. The liabilities would be later assumed by GTC, secured by pledges on its assets. The new tranche is anchored by Schroders, which may buy EUR 275-300m of the new notes. If successful, the refinancing wo...

GTC earned only EUR 23m in FFO I in 1H25, as the recurring results were under pressure from funding costs and a negative contribution from the German portfolio. At the same time, GTC spent EUR 14m in capex related to standing properties (excluding the spending on developments) during 1H25. The bond refinancing, cash flow and balance sheet remain the key focus. Following the EUR 84m loan taken against Galeria Polnocna, the pool of unencumbered, standing assets has shrunk further.

Liquidity is paramount. The dividends should have been paused earlier, but better late than never. Management's clearly stated focus on prioritising the addressing of maturities is encouraging. All rides on a successful refinancing and or sizeable disposals, which could remove the immediate tail risk. That said, even then, the equity looks fully valued, unless the post-deal FFO proves to be markedly stronger than the current trajectory suggests.
