LXi REIT Upgrades Dividend Targets After Equity, Debt Deployment

7th Mar 2018 13:51

LONDON (Alliance News) - LXi REIT PLC announced Wednesday it is increasing its dividend targets following the full deployment of its equity and debt capital.

LXi is now targeting a dividend from the period of its initial public offering in February 2017 to March this year of 4.0 pence per share, 33% higher than the previous target of 3.0p.

For the year to March 2019, the aim is now 5.5p, 10% higher than the previous target of 5.0p.

This increase, it said, follows full deployment equity and debt capital at an average net initial property yield of 6.0%. This is higher than the original target and is higher than its average cost of debt of 2.9% per annum, which is fully fixed until July 2029.

Chairman Stephen Hubbard said: "Following our IPO in February 2017, we have carefully assembled a high quality portfolio of secure, long-let and inflation-linked assets, highly diversified by sector, tenant and geography, whilst maintaining capital discipline.

"Our disciplined and value-led approach is driving attractive long term and secure income and capital returns for our shareholders, ahead of original expectations, and we are well placed to deliver further value for the long term."

LXi shares were up 0.5% on Wednesday at 102.50 pence each.
