RNS Number : 4726K Grit Real Estate Income Group 21 December 2022
Grit Real Estate Income Group - Update research from QuotedData
21(st) December 2022
Going for growth
Pan-African property company Grit Real Estate Income Group (Grit) is on track
to complete the acquisition of a controlling stake in developer Gateway Real
Estate Africa (GREA) by May next year, which would unlock considerable
potential for net asset value (NAV) and income growth for the fund.
GREA's attractive pipeline of development projects includes diplomatic housing
let to the US government across the continent. Consequently, the composition
of Grit's portfolio will change dramatically over the next two years, with
corporate accommodation exposure growing materially and the US Embassy
becoming Grit's largest tenant. Industrial and data centres are also prominent
in the pipeline, while sales of properties in the retail and hospitality
sectors will further shape the portfolio towards favourable asset classes.
The recent major restructuring of its borrowing facilities (see page 18) and
plans to further reduce its loan to value (LTV - borrowings plus cash as a
percentage of portfolio valuation) have put the group on a firm financial
footing. Meanwhile, the re-establishment of its dividend track record should
contribute to a re-rating of its share price (its shares currently trade on a
49.5% discount to NAV).
