Occupancy / Void / WAULT

The Company had a vacancy rate of 7.6% as at end Q4 2023 (Q3 8.0%).  Although new leases were completed that would have reduced the vacancy rate to 4.4% on a like for like basis, we had a new vacancy on a logistics unit in late November. That unit is now under offer to sell.

Debt Facility and Gearing

API currently has two facilities with RBSI, an £85m term loan (fully drawn) and an £80m Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) of which £56.9m was drawn as at 31st December. Both facilities are at a margin of 150bps over SONIA and an interest rate cap on SONIA has been put in place at 4% over the term loan (all-in rate of 5.5%).  As at 31 December 2023, the Company had a Loan to Value (LTV) of 30.8%*.

*LTV calculated as debt less all cash divided by investment portfolio value

Dividends

A dividend of 1p will be paid for the quarter which means that the dividend is therefore being maintained at an annualised rate of 4p per share. The dividend cover for Q4 2023 is 83.4% (Sep 23 – 79.9%).  The Board has provided guidance of its intention to maintain the current dividend level.

Net Asset Value (“NAV”)
