Further progress in resetting and reinvigorating the business

Business Review - resetting and reinvigorating

Following our June 2020 year end we confirmed that a resetting and reinvigorating of the

business was underway:

  • Strategy and business model remained appropriate but needed acceleration given events
  • Key elements of acceleration to include:
    • Disposals of Retail and Leisure assets, either where they have matured following investment, or where they are under-performing
    • Continue to reduce proportion of Retail and Leisurein the portfolio
    • Reduce Gearing and LTV
    • Create headroom for future growthto enable us to bring forward development sites

…delivered in the year:

    • Disposals of Retail and Leisure assets:
      • £48.0m receipt following sale of nine properties. Further £3.85m in October 21
    • Continue to reduce proportion of Retail and Leisure in the portfolio (excl Merrion MSCP):
      • Retail and leisure now 29% (FY20 40%), with pure retail only 21%*
    • Reduce Borrowings and LTV** (excludingfinance leases):
      • Net borrowings down 21% (£38m) to £146m, LTV** down to 48.3% (FY20: 53.2%)
    • Create headroom for future growth:
      • Headroom of £12m, with significant development pipeline in place
  • Disclosure in FY20 and HY21 results included the Merrion MSCP within retail and leisure assets - with the prior year adjustments recognised in the current year, the Merrion MSCP is now excluded from the analysis of retail and leisure
  • The calculation of LTV specifically excludes finance lease assets and liabilities. The FY21 statutory reporting and announcement of results includes all assets and financial liabilities (including finance lease right-of-use assets) and accordingly present a different percentage although the underlying

improving trend is the same. (These separately reported percentages were FY21: 51.3% and FY20: 56.0%)
