RNS Number : 8383I RM Infrastructure Income PLC 21 October 2024
RM Infrastructure Income Plc
("RMII" or the "Company")
LEI: 213800RBRIYICC2QC958
Net Asset Value
NAV Performance
The Company's NAV % Total Return for the month of September was -0.96%, which
brings the NAV % Total Return for the quarter to 1.71%.
The NAV % Total Return over the last twelve months was 4.25% and inception to
date (ITD) 47.61%.
The NAV as at 30(th) September 2024 was 87.73 pence per Ordinary Share. This
negative NAV return of -0.853 pence per share in September arose primarily
from an increase in the discount rate for investment loan Ref #39, as well as
a reduction in the valuation of the Company's wholly-owned student
accommodation property based in Coventry (investment loan Ref #68). Said
reduction in valuation resulted from a deteriorated occupancy level.
Summary for September 2024 (pence per share)
Net interest income +0.561p
Change in portfolio valuations -1.398p
Other -0.017p
Net NAV Movement -0.853p
Portfolio Activity
As at 30(th) September 2024, the Company's invested portfolio had an aggregate
nominal outstanding of circa £86 million across 20 investments. The average
yield was 11.90%, with a weighted average loan life remaining of circa 0.89
years. Overall, the portfolio is 94% invested in private market assets and 6%
in public bonds.
Q3-2024 was an active and successful quarter for the Company in terms of
portfolio realisation with a total of 5 repayments totalling circa £7.2m, all
of which resulted in full exits of said investment loans. All exits were
achieved at par apart from investment loan ref #79 against which 80p was
recovered, in line with the Company's assumptions and latest valuation.
· Investment Loan Ref #95a - c.£2.35m
· Investment Loan Ref #95b - c.£0.5m
· Investment Loan Ref #81 - c.£0.4m
· Investment Loan Ref #98 - c.£0.3m
· Investment Loan Ref #79 - c.£3.6m
In line with the realisation mandate, there was limited activity in terms of
drawdowns, with only two drawdowns under existing committed facilities:
· Investment Loan Ref #96 - c.£75k
· Investment Loan Ref #76 - £255k
Post period end, a short-term 2-month extension was provided to investment
loans Ref #66 & Ref #67 to enable the Borrower to complete on its
refinancing transaction, which is currently underway. There can be no
assurances that said refinancing process will successfully complete. In
addition, a 3-year extension was provided to investment loan Ref #39 to have
it co-terminus with the senior facility. However, the Sponsor will initiate
an exit process of said investment during 2025 and so terms applicable to this
extension have been structured accordingly. Our base case scenario at present
is therefore a full repayment early 2026, circa 1.5 year ahead of the extended
legal maturity.
The Company completed its first return of capital during the month of
September 2024, returning £17,486,194 of capital to Shareholders via tender
offer at 88.59 pence per share. Further details regarding the Company's
Managed Wind-Down and subsequent return of capital to Shareholders will be
announced by the Board as and when appropriate.
At period end, the Company had no outstanding debt with cash balances standing
at circa £4.5m of which circa £1.5m will be retained by the Company largely
to fund undrawn committed facilities and for working capital purposes.
The Company also announces that the Monthly Report for the period to 30th
September 2024 is now available to be viewed on the Company website:
