Picton Property Income — Capital and income returns continuing

The Q119 NAV total return was 2.5%, with a high level of occupancy maintained and successful progress made with lease events. Picton’s portfolio has a strong bias towards industrial and regional office property markets, which remain robust with widespread rental growth. In addition, Picton’s portfolio continues to offer significant reversionary potential. Shareholders have approved conversion to REIT status, which is expected to take effect from 1 October 2018 and should enhance future profitability, with no material impact on investment and portfolio strategy.

Good progress; no material changes to forecasts

Income earnings during the quarter covered dividends per share of 0.875p by 121%. Like-for-like revaluation gains of 0.8% and gains on the disposal of two properties for £11.8m, 8.4% ahead of the March valuation, contributed to NAV growth of 1.5% to 91.8p. The NAV total return for the quarter was 2.5%. Lease events with a combined annual rent of £0.9m were completed in the period at an average 6.2% uplift to the March estimated rental value (ERV). Occupancy was maintained at a high 95%, dipping slightly from March (96%) due to asset management actions. A £33.7m debt repayment since the end of Q119 will save c £1m pa in interest costs, broadly matching the income impact of the disposals, while LTV has fallen to 25.5% (March: 26.2%). We have made only very minor adjustments to our forecasts for EPS and NAV, and no change to DPS.

Significant reversionary potential

Picton’s portfolio continues to be overweight regional industrial and office property and significantly underweight retail and leisure (with no shopping centre exposure). This positioning had a positive impact on returns in FY18 and Q119 and consensus expectations remain positive for FY19. As discussed in our recent outlook note, there is significant reversionary potential within the portfolio. At the end of FY18, the ERV was c £6.5m ahead of the contracted rent roll, representing the opportunity to lift income from existing assets further, through leasing vacant space, rent reviews and lease expiry opportunities.

Valuation: Well-covered DPS supports strong returns

Picton offers well-covered and growing dividends, providing a yield of c 4.0%, and trades at around its EPRA NAV broadly in line with peers. The current yield is below the median c 5% on a group of immediate peers as despite having a strong income focus, Picton also chooses to reinvest into the portfolio in ways designed to support occupancy and income growth, with the specific goal of enhancing long-term total return. Continuing this approach, it has significant opportunities to grow income and value further from the current portfolio.

Further details from the update

A summary of the NAV progression during the three months to 30 June 2018 (Q119) is shown in Exhibit 1. The c £6.0m movement in property values includes a £5.4m, or 0.8% like-for-like, portfolio revaluation movement and a c £0.6m gain on disposals after costs. Income earnings after tax of c £5.7m covered dividends for the quarter by 121%. In aggregate, net assets grew 1.5% and net asset value per share by a similar amount to 91.8p. As discussed below, the early retirement of £33.7m of debt, due to mature in July 2022, that has taken place since the end of Q119, will have a negative impact on Q219 NAV per share of c 0.7p but will reduce recurring interest expenses.

The composition of the Q119 net asset value can be seen in Exhibit 2. The reduction in the value of investment properties (stated net of lease incentives) in the quarter reflects the completed sales of two office assets for an aggregate £11.8m, 8.4% ahead of the March valuation, partly offset by the positive revaluation movement. As at 30 June 2018, the portfolio had a net initial yield of 5.4%, allowing for void holding costs (March: 5.5%). The increase in the cash balance broadly corresponds to the properties sold. Picton has also helpfully provided a pro-forma position that shows the end-Q119 position adjusted for the subsequent debt repayment.

On 20 July, Picton completed the early repayment of £33.7m of debt, due July 2022, reducing its total debt outstanding to £194.6m. The debt that was repaid was not due to mature until July 2022 and carried a fixed interest rate of 4.08%. It was repaid using £23m of cash resources, with the balance coming from one of the group’s revolving credit facilities, at a cost of 1.75% above Libor, or c 2.5% currently. The vast majority of the remaining debt (87%) is now fixed under long-term facilities, with the rest at variable rates. Average maturity extends to c 10.6 years and the weighted average cost of debt falls to 4.0%. In addition, Picton has secured other amendments to the loan documentation covering the c £80m debt balance with the lender involved, which will increase operational flexibility. We have adjusted our estimates (shown below) for the repayment, which results in an annualised interest saving of c £1.0m while incurring a one-off repayment fee of £3.2m and crystallising un-amortised loan arrangement fees of c £300k. The impact on NAV, to be recognised in Q219, will be a c 0.7p reduction.

Picton’s industrial portfolio (43% of the total) continued to drive the valuation performance, with a like-for-like gain of 3.4% in the quarter, supported by continuing rental growth. The office portfolio (34.5% of the total) saw a small 0.1% overall like-for-like valuation decline within which regional office performance was positive, with occupier demand remaining strong, while London offices, where Picton is underweight, saw a value decline reflecting a weaker rental outlook. Retail and leisure (22.5% of the portfolio), another area where the portfolio is underweighted, saw a 2.5% like-for-like value decline driven by high street retail property.

During the period, seven lettings, six lease renewals/re-gears and two rent reviews were completed, with a combined annual rent of £0.9m, on average 6.2% ahead of the March ERV. Occupancy remained high at 95% but was slightly lower than March (96%). The reduction reflects the surrender of two leases at business parks within the industrial portfolio, reflecting ongoing active management, where management expects to be able to re-let the units at rents significantly ahead of the previous passing rent.

Estimate revisions

Our revised estimates allow for the year-to-date property sales and debt repayment, which broadly offset each other at the level of EPRA earnings. The Q119 revaluation movement was consistent with our existing forecasts and EPRA NAV reduces slightly, with the Q119 disposal gain partly offsetting the upfront cost of the debt repayment.
