– Relative to FY19 reported net rental income of £532m: – FY19 net divestment activity expected to reduce net rents by £20m. Transactions exchanged post year end are expected to reduce rents by a further £10m. – Recently completed and committed developments expected to add £9m to net rents, partially offset by the impact of lease expiries of £5m on properties in the near term pipeline – The like for like impact of CVAs and Admins, net of leasing up affected space, is expected to be less than 3% of retail rents in FY20
– Expense expected to increase due to future share schemes returning to vesting position
– Weighted average interest rate 2.9%
– Undrawn facilities of £1.5bn as at 31 March, with commitment fees of c.30bps p.a.
– Proposed dividend for the year ending 31 March 2020 is 31.9 pence per share
– Capital activity has the potential to significantly impact
would reduce/increase profits by c.£4m and LTV by c.0.6%. As we expect to continue making retail sales, this is based on an average retail portfolio topped up NIY
– Based on current share price levels, £200m share buyback is expected to add 0.5p to EPS and £125m share buyback is expected to add 0.2p to EPS in FY20
