Tritax Big Box Fundamentals (BBOX)

FINANCING OF ASSET PRE-LET TO OCADO

Further to the announcement on 29 January 2015 that the Company had exchanged contracts to forward fund the investment of a new distribution warehouse facility located inside the M25 at Crossdox, Bronze Age Way, Erith, pre-let in its entirety to a subsidiary of Ocado Group Plc, the Board of Tritax Big Box REIT plc (ticker: BBOX) is pleased to announce that the Company has agreed senior debt financing secured on the asset. This facility has been agreed with Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen Girozentrale ("Helaba") to the value of £50.866 million, reflecting a loan to value ratio of approximately 50%.

The facility has a five year term with an option to extend this to a maximum of six years exercisable before the second anniversary of the facility, subject to lender consent. To efficiently match the terms of the forward funding contract, the facility has been structured to provide a twelve month loan to facilitate the construction period which will automatically convert into an investment loan for the remainder of the term at the point of practical completion of the building, targeted for the summer of 2016.

Including this loan, the blended margin payable across the Company's financings post practical completion will be approximately 1.70% above three month LIBOR.

Tritax Big Box REIT plc (ticker: BBOX), the only real estate investment trust giving pure exposure to very large logistics warehouse assets in the UK, will announce its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2015 on Friday, 21 August 2015.

Colin Godfrey, Partner of Tritax, said:

"2015 has been another significant year of development for the Company with 11 new investments creating an increasingly diversified and high quality portfolio, a new five year £500 million debt facility secured on attractive terms and offering substantial operational flexibility and strong share price performance underpinned by the long term, income-focused nature of the Company's real estate assets.

As we look forward to 2016, we believe the imbalance between supply and demand of Big Box assets is a theme which will continue to dominate the logistics sector driving further market rental growth."

DIVIDEND POLICY

Since the IPO, the Board has targeted an initial annual dividend yield (on a fully invested and geared basis) of 6% by reference to the IPO issue price of 100 pence. With effect from 1 January 2016 the Directors intend to adopt a progressive dividend policy and expect to provide guidance to investors in this regard during Q1 2016. Dividends are expected to be fully covered by earnings from the Company's portfolio.

MARKET CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK

The UK has one of the greatest warehouse space requirements in Europe driven by the strong economic outlook and the growth in internet sales which are expected to represent 19% of total retail sales by 2019, up from 13% in 2014 (source: eMarketer). Meanwhile, logistics availability in the UK has been decreasing since 2009 with the supply of speculatively developed Big Box assets extremely limited. As far as the Company's investment manager is aware, no Big Box assets of 500,000 sq. ft. or above are currently being developed speculatively.

Prime logistics yields have compressed by approximately 75 basis points since the Company's IPO in December 2013 and currently stand at approximately 5.0% with the potential for further compression in 2016 given the imbalance between supply and demand which is unlikely to be rectified in the short to medium term.

As a result of growing occupier demand and constrained occupational supply, strong rental growth has been evidenced during the last 18 months and is expected to continue through 2016 with the Company well placed to capture market rental growth given the profile of rent reviews across the portfolio.

Are you holding this one skinny? Seems pretty steady in an uncertain world and divi seems attractive.
