PROPERTY PORTFOLIO VALUATION
Schroder European Real Estate Investment Trust plc, the company investing in real
estate in European growth cities, today provides an update on the independent
valuation of the property portfolio as at 30 September 2023:
- The direct property portfolio was independently valued at €214.1 million. The like-
for-like decrease over the quarter of -1.9%, or -€4.2 million (see footnote 1 below),
was driven by continued outward yield movement, as investor sentiment continues
to be affected by the higher interest rate backdrop.
- The portfolio office assets (32% - see footnote 2 below) witnessed a marginal
valuation decline of -€0.75 million, or -0.9%. The St Cloud, Paris yield was unchanged,
whilst Hamburg and Stuttgart saw a decline of c.10 basis points and 35 basis points
respectively, with the latter offset by rental growth, reflecting the tight market
supply.
- The portfolio industrial assets (30% - see footnote 2 below) witnessed a valuation
decline of -€1.9 million or -2.6%, driven by c.25 basis points of outward yield shift
across the French logistics portfolio and select Dutch investments.
- The German retail portfolio witnessed a valuation decline of -€1.5 million, or -3.6%,
solely as a result of a 25 basis points outward yield shift in the Berlin DIY investment.
- Based on 30 September 2023 values and following the recent Dutch industrial loan
refinancing, the portfolio LTV is approximately 33% based on gross asset value and
24% net of cash (30 June 2023 LTV 31% gross and 23% net of cash).
- The Company remains well positioned with significant cash reserves and is
reviewing select sustainability-led capex initiatives in the portfolio, which should
optimise earnings growth and asset liquidity.
Footnote 1: In addition, the Company has a 50% interest in a joint venture in Seville which continues to be recognised at nil value
Footnote 2: Including available cash
