ACQUISITION OF A TESCO IN ASHFORD AT 7.0% NIY
Supermarket Income REIT plc (LSE: SUPR), announces the acquisition of a Tesco omnichannel
supermarket in Ashford, Kent, for a total purchase price of £54.1 million (excluding acquisition costs),
reflecting an attractive net initial yield of 7.0% (See Note 1) (the "Acquisition").
Tesco, Ashford acquisition
The Acquisition of this top performing food store comprises a 93,000 sq ft gross internal area
omnichannel supermarket and a petrol filling station, situated on an 8.2 acre site. Tesco has traded
from the site for over 30 years and uses the store as an online fulfilment hub with 14 home delivery
vans, as well as offering Click & Collect services. The store is being acquired with an unexpired lease
term of nine years with annual RPI-linked rent reviews (subject to a 5% cap and a 0% floor).
The Company believes that current market conditions provide an attractive buying opportunity, at an
inflection point in the real estate cycle where supermarket property valuations are at multi-year lows
and long lease inflation linked assets can be acquired at accretive yields.
This Acquisition represents the first transaction for the Company as it redeploys the proceeds arising
from the formation of its recently announced strategic joint venture with funds managed by Blue Owl
Capital into a pipeline of attractive investment opportunities. The Company sees a number of
complementary routes to help drive growth, scale and liquidity whilst maintaining sector focus. This
may include increasing the tenant weighting to operators for which the Company currently has limited
or no exposure to, and across a broader range of store formats, whilst maintaining the quality of the
Company's income profile. The Company is pursuing earnings enhancing acquisitions with the
strategic objective of delivering a growing and fully covered dividend over the long term.
Rob Abraham, CEO of Supermarket Income REIT, commented:
"I'm very pleased that we have begun redeploying the proceeds arising from our recent joint venture,
acquiring this top trading Tesco supermarket at an attractive price, which will make a material
contribution to our earnings from day one. The team continues to work hard to execute on a number
of further pipeline opportunities as it focusses on scaling the business whilst delivering sustainable
earnings growth for our shareholders."
