On 12 June 2025, the Company published its half-yearly results for the period
ended 31 March 2025. The half-yearly report can be found on the Company's
website.
Capital allocation
The Company's Board of Directors reconfirm their commitment to the Company's
capital allocation policy set out in the 2024 Annual Report and Accounts,
continuing to prioritise repayment of leverage, as well as reducing
equity-like exposures and exposures in certain sectors, whilst also
facilitating the return of £50.0 million of capital to shareholders. At 30
June 2025, the Company had £43.0 million (31 March 2025: £41.0 million)
outstanding under its revolving credit arrangements, representing a net debt
position of £36.2 million (31 March 2025: £29.2 million) which compares to
the Company's unaudited NAV of £864.1 million (31 March 2025: £871.7
million).
As announced on 25 July 2025, the Company has agreed settlement terms relating
to the ongoing contractual claim under investment documentation relating to
the audits of the accreditation of a portfolio of solar projects under the
Renewables Obligation. The terms of the settlement are confidential however
the impact of the settlement was materially in line with the valuation
assumptions the Company has adopted and therefore the net asset value.
Proceeds of the settlement, which have been received by the Company post
period-end, were used in line with the Company's capital allocation policy to
prepay the Company's outstanding revolving credit arrangements. The net debt
position following the prepayment was £10.0 million.
Further supporting the capital allocation policy, the Company bought back
6,321,854 ordinary shares in the quarter, contributing a 0.22 pence per
ordinary share increase to NAV.
The Board and the Investment Adviser continue to focus on additional
opportunities for refinancings or disposals within the portfolio, in order to
achieve the targets set out in the capital allocation policy, with a number of
active processes.
