11 January 2021

The Arcona Property Fund N.V. has completed the annual revaluation of its real estate portfolio, which now comprises assets in 5 countries. The fair value of the 24-asset portfolio has been assessed by independent valuers at EUR 89.78 million, a 2.1% decline over 2020 in Euro currency terms. During the year the occupancy rate rose from 84.6% to 85.6% (as at end November) and the Loan to Value ratio improved from 50.0% to 47.1%. The Fund´s NNNAV has been adjusted to EUR 12.31 per share.

In detail, the 4- asset Czech portfolio increased in value by 0.7% in local currency (CZK), the 6-asset Slovak portfolio increased in value by 2.0%, the 11-asset Polish portfolio decreased in value by 5.3%, the 2 development sites in Ukraine slipped by 11.4% in value in USD terms and the single Bulgarian project slipped 6.5% in value.

 

Guy Barker, director of ACFM, commented that the modest value decline overall reflected the successful strategy of supporting vulnerable tenants through the disruptive initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The maintenance of good occupancy rates has been key to the preservation of capital values, whilst the portfolio overall has benefitted from a diverse tenant base and very limited exposure to the comparison retail and hospitality sectors.

The external valuation of the portfolio was carried out in accordance with Article 4:52a of the Financial Supervision Act.
