ABRIDGED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE
MONTHS ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2015
DIRECTORS’ COMMENTARY
Atlantic Leaf presents its results for the quarter and nine months ended 30 November 2015.
In line with management’s expectations, the Company earned adjusted headline earnings of
1.93 pence per share. This represents an increase of almost 22% over the adjusted headline
earnings of the second quarter when revaluations over the periods are excluded. Management
is pleased with the continued growth as the Company continues to acquire good quality assets.
During the quarter, the Company concluded two additional acquisitions. On 22 October 2015,
the Company purchased two new properties tenanted by the Inspirepac Group, at a total value
of GBP12.9 million with an expected forward yield of 6.7%. On 26 November 2015, the Company
acquired a new property tenanted by Gestamp Tallent Limited at a total value of GBP10.8 million
with an expected forward yield of 7.4%. Both acquisitions were financed with a combination
of new debt and existing cash. During the period, the company also successfully refinanced
a major portion of its debt portfolio (GBP54.6 million), in this process, the company repaid
GBP10 million and reduced the cost of the remaining GBP44.6 million from 7% to around 3,9%. This
will benefit earnings in the next period.
DIVIDEND PAID
The dividend of 3 pence per share declared at the six months’ results, was paid in December
2015. Shareholders were given the option to receive their dividend as cash or as a scrip dividend
and as a result, 372 657 new shares were issued to existing shareholders. Cash dividends of
approximately GBP1,45 million were paid.
COMPANY OUTLOOK
In line with the strategy to grow the asset base of the company, there are a number of potential
transactions that the company is evaluating which we are hopeful of completing before the
year end. Management is on track to meet its projected distribution of 7 pence per share for
the full 2015/16 year.
