RENT COLLECTION AND PROPERTY PORTFOLIO VALUATION UPDATE
Schroder European Real Estate Investment Trust plc ("SERE" or the "Company"), the company investing in real
estate in European growth cities, today provides an update on rent collection, alongside an independent
valuation of the property portfolio as at 31 March 2021.
- Approximately 93% of rent due for the quarter ended 31 March 2021 has been collected, which is ahead
of the amount collected in the previous two quarters of 89%
- As at 31 March 2021, the property portfolio was independently valued at €274.3 million, a decrease of
0.6%, or €1.8 million, on the 31 December 2020 valuation of €276.1 million. Net of approximately €1.4
million of capital expenditure invested in the refurbishment of Boulogne-Billancourt over the quarter,
the valuation decreased by €3.2 million, or 1.2%
- Excluding the Boulogne-Billancourt capital investment, the like-for-like valuation movement during the
quarter was driven by the following:
o Improved yield re-rating at the Berlin DIY investment, delivering a valuation increase of €1.1
million, or 4.0%
o Improved yield re-rating across the industrial portfolio, delivering a valuation increase of €1.9
million, or 3.9%. As at 31 March 2021, SERE’s industrial exposure represents 19% of the
portfolio by value
o The value of SERE’s 50% interest in the Seville shopping centre declined by €6.2 million. This
reflects the recent increase in vacancy, declining ERVs and increase in risk to trading at
shopping centres from the pandemic in general, which has increased pressure on the yield of
the Seville asset as well. The majority of this decline had been reflected in the 31 December
2020 NAV, with the remaining exposure to this asset now representing 2.9% / €5.8M of the
NAV. This is the only asset in the portfolio where the valuers continue to adopt a material
uncertainty clause
- The bank which is financing the Seville property has indicated that it expects to instruct a new valuation
to formally test the Loan-to-Value (“LTV”) covenant in June 2021, which, based on the Company’s
revised asset value, is likely to show that the 60% LTV covenant has been breached. The loan is secured
solely against the Seville investment, with no recourse back to the Group or any other property. SERE
continues to work proactively with its lending partner regarding next steps and will provide a further
update in due course
- The Company has an aggregated loan to value ratio of approximately 25% as at 31 March 2021, with
no recourse to the Company and no debt maturity before 2023.
The Company will announce its half year results for the six months ended 31 March 2021 in early July.
