AroundTown (ARNDTN: BBB+ neg): 1Q24 Results
REAL ESTATE
Stable results from Aroundtown which is a continuation of what the market wants to see. The tender exchange resulted in a reduction of €0.3b perps and will reduce coupon expense by €35m after 2024.
- Adj EBITDA €247m +1% yoy
- Net Rental Income €293m +2.8% like-for-like but -1% yoy due to disposals
- FFO I €76m
- ICR 3.9x. S&P's report saw this falling to 3.0x in FY24 not quite there yet.
- LTV 43% targeting <45%
- Average debt maturity 4.2y. average cost 2.2%. 76% Fixed Rate + 7% Capped
- Cash and liquidity covering 21% of debt (€2.9b)
The company has signed disposals totalling €9b since 1Q20 and used proceeds to reduce leverage. 13% office vacancy would be the one cause for concern.
