Simon Perkins, Chief Executive of McKay, said:
"Our consistent focus on our core office, industrial and logistics sectors across London and the South East, combined with successful development projects and the intensive in-house management of our portfolio, can be credited for the delivery of another positive set of results, with gains achieved across our key metrics.
"We do not take our ability to out-perform the market in the current environment for granted, and with the benefit of increased headroom have no intention of slowing down the active programme of portfolio initiatives that has helped McKay's assets stand out in a competitive landscape. The letting of our development and refurbishment schemes, the recycling of capital and the ability to utilise our increased loan facilities provide us with the opportunity to continue building on the substantial growth we have delivered over recent years, and unlock an attractive reversion.
"We remain wary of the political uncertainty affecting our operating environment and hope that some clarity will provide the basis for a more positive economic outlook. In the meantime, our focus on the strongest regions and sectors of the UK and their prospects to enhance our portfolio growth once confidence improves, provides us with an encouraging platform for the future."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to report a positive set of results for the half year period, despite the volatile political and economic backdrop.
Overview
These results have been generated by the continued delivery of our active programme of portfolio initiatives and underpinned by our focus on the resilient office, industrial and logistics markets of London and the South East.
Rental income from the portfolio increased by 20.8% to GBP12.61 million (September 2018: GBP10.43 million), benefiting from lettings secured on our recent development projects and other portfolio projects. This increase, offset to a degree by a lower level of capitalised interest, resulted in a substantial 17.6% increase in adjusted profit before tax to GBP5.08 million (September 2018: GBP4.32 million).
Our continued investment in the portfolio, and our active in-house management, has continued to deliver portfolio gains ahead of the MSCI benchmark, with the portfolio estimated rental value ("ERV") growing by 1.9% to GBP33.30 million pa (on a like-for-like basis), the portfolio valuation of GBP492.14 million generating a 1.0% (GBP5.06 million) surplus and a total property return for the period of 3.4% (September 2018: 3.8%). The valuation gain and a GBP1.72 million surplus from the sale of Station Plaza, Theale in May 2019 at a price of 32.7% ahead of book value, contributed to a 2.1% increase in NAV per share (EPRA) to 333 pence (March 2019: 326 pence) and an increase in shareholders' funds to GBP313.93 million (March 2019: GBP311.08 million).
These gains have been achieved as a result of our strategic focus on enhancing the income potential of the portfolio. In addition to the gains achieved over the period, we still have the potential to secure a 24.3% (GBP6.51 million pa) reversionary increase in rental income, being the difference between the current level of contracted income and ERV.
Having grown the portfolio value over recent years, we were able to secure an increase in loan facilities at the beginning of the period, providing additional headroom for acquisitions and portfolio expenditure. This facilitated the acquisition of an office asset in Newbury post period end, referred to below, and provides scope for further value enhancing investment.
Market review
The protracted uncertainty over Brexit across our markets has held back occupier demand and resulted in lower levels of office occupier take up. Despite this, the highly restricted supply of modern business space, especially across our South East office markets, has helped maintain rental values and is set to support future rental growth, especially with a recovery in business confidence.
There is still considerable pent up demand from a wide range of domestic and overseas buyers seeking to invest in our markets. However, the volume of transactions has been lower over the period with the investment market characterised by a shortage of supply due to political uncertainty. This has supported capital values which have also held steady.
In the South East office market, which accounts for 52.3% of the portfolio (by value), larger occupier transitions are down on last year due to business uncertainly and a lack of available space. As a result, total occupier take up to the end of Q3/2019 of 1.31 million sq ft, was 6.8% below the ten year Q1 - Q3 average. Based on identified demand in the market of 3.18 million sq ft we anticipate full year take up to be in the region of 10.0% below the ten year annual average of 1.92 million sq ft. Occupier choice remains increasingly limited, with vacancy rates at an all time low of 1.8% for new supply and 6.3% for Grade A. Looking forward, the pipeline remains constrained with just three new office developments totalling 340,000 sq ft predicted to complete in 2020, which is less than half the ten year average. Building obsolescence is also compounding the lack of supply and continues to be one of the key drivers of occupier demand. The increasing importance of sustainable, modern business space to attract and retain employees is set to increase competition, and put upward pressure on rental values, particularly with the benefit of greater business certainty.
In the London office market, the development pipeline has picked up as a response to vacancy rates well below the ten year average. However, continued occupier take up and demand for the limited stock available has held rental levels steady.
The South East industrial and logistics market, which accounts for 17.6% of the portfolio (by value), continues to perform well, driven by the growth of e-commerce. Take up to the end of Q3/2019 totalled 5.70 million sq ft across the South East, which is a 23.0% increase over the same period last year and the highest take up ever recorded. Set against this is low supply totalling 4.50 million sq ft, which equates to just 0.8 years worth of supply calculated against the five year average take up. It is within this market that our major development at Theale Logistics Park (134,430 sq ft) is due to complete shortly.
Portfolio income and asset management
Throughout the portfolio, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Creating and managing sustainable and efficient buildings is an essential strand of our offer to prospective occupiers, while the efficiency of design provides lower utility bills and higher levels of workspace satisfaction for our tenants. Our Sustainability Strategy was first launched in 2013, and has delivered some notable achievements including a 44.0% reduction in carbon footprint and high sustainability ratings on new developments and major refurbishments. We were also pleased to achieve the prestigious three-star rating for the fourth year in succession by the widely recognised Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark ("GRESB"). This measures the real estate sector against Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") targets and confirms our progress and standing in this important area.
This approach assisted with the completion over the period of ten open market lettings, with a combined contracted rental value of GBP490,000 pa, 2.3% ahead of ERV. The largest of these lettings was at Pegasus Place, Crawley, which consists of three office buildings totalling 50,790 sq ft. The comprehensive refurbishment of Pegasus 2 (12,720 sq ft) was completed in July 2019. Prior to completion we let the ground floor (3,820 sq ft) at a contracted rent of GBP100,000 pa, setting a new record rent for Crawley of GBP27.00 per sq ft. The remaining two floors are being marketed and generating good interest.
The second major refurbishment over the period comprised the upgrading and modernisation of two office floors, the reception and other common areas at Mallard Court in the centre of Staines (21,860 sq ft). Works completed in August 2019 and achieved the early letting of part of the first floor at a rental level in line with ERV. Marketing of the remainder of the space is also generating encouraging interest. The building upgrade has incorporated new technology to introduce smart management of the building services and access controls, which can be operated through a dedicated app. This will enable our occupiers to control their heating and lighting, book meeting rooms, control building access and to be kept informed of travel updates, amenities and local retail offers. We will be monitoring the success of this, with a view to rolling the same technology out to other portfolio properties.
Our flexible offer of smaller suites, co-working space and communal kitchens at One Crown Square, Woking (50,190 sq ft) and at 329 Bracknell (32,800 sq ft) is continuing to prove attractive to occupiers. At Bracknell, we achieved 100% occupation during the period and at Woking we welcomed, amongst others, Handelsbanken as a new occupier committing to a ten year lease with a five year break at a contracted rent of GBP60,000 pa. We also accepted a negotiated payment for an early surrender of the ground floor banking unit (3,802 sq ft) and simultaneously exchanged contracts to let the space to a gym operator, thereby also improving the building's offer for existing and future tenants.
At Switchback Office Park in Maidenhead (37,155 sq ft), having relocated the tenant of Unit 4.1 (3,886 sq ft) to our Brentford office asset, we speculatively fitted out the empty space to attract the increasing number of tenants seeking ease of occupation. This has proved to be very successful having secured a five year lease commitment of the entire space at a contracted rent of GBP100,000 pa, 4.6% ahead of ERV.
In addition to the income generated from new lettings, we also settled five rent reviews at a combined contracted rent of GBP1.65 million pa, representing a 12.6% uplift over the prior rent passing and a rental level equivalent to ERV. The payment of back dated rent to the review date also resulted in a one-off addition to rental income for the period. The reviews, which were across a range of assets, have also contributed to the release of some of the reversionary income potential of the portfolio.
We now manage all our assets in-house, providing our tenants direct access to, and regular dialogue with, our Occupier Services team. This aids quick decisions, efficient turnaround times and closely managed service charge expenditure. This supports our ability to maintain close relationships with our occupiers and the prospects for tenant retention. This proved to be the case over the period with 75.0% of tenants choosing to stay in occupation at lease break or expiry.
Portfolio occupancy at the end of the period was 87.1% (March 2019: 87.9%) or 91.1% excluding developments (March 2019: 91.0%). The majority of the portfolio void has been recently refurbished, enhancing the letting prospects for the remainder of the year.
At the end of the period, the portfolio remains well placed to deliver additional income and future value from the portfolio reversion as set out below.

1. Like-for-like, excluding Station Plaza, Theale
Acquisitions and disposals
In May 2019, we completed the freehold disposal of Station Plaza, Theale to an owner occupier at a price of GBP8.23 million. We acquired the asset, which consists of three office buildings totalling 41,420 sq ft, for GBP8.46 million in September 2014, and have had the benefit of GBP900,000 pa of income since then. It had been our intention to refurbish the buildings on lease expiry in July 2019 but the sale price, which represented a 32.7% premium to the March 2019 book value, delivered our anticipated refurbishment profit without taking any of the construction, planning or letting risk.
Given the strength of overseas investment demand in the Central London office market referred to above, we have recently instructed agents to explore the opportunistic disposal of 30 Lombard Street, EC3. In the event of a sale completing, we will unlock the full value created by our success with the scheme and recycle the proceeds into acquisitions and other asset management initiatives that provide us with greater future growth prospects.
Also since the end of the period, we have completed the acquisition of Rivergate, a multi-let office building fronting Newbury Business Park, for GBP15.5 million at an initial yield of 7.5%. The building provides 61,385 sq ft of lettable space over three floors which is fully let to six occupiers at a rent of GBP1.29 million pa. This is an earnings enhancing addition to the portfolio, whilst the low rental value and the potential to add and refurbish space also provide scope for future growth.
Development programme
The construction of Theale Logistics Park, our 134,430 sq ft distribution warehouse development at Junction 12 of the M4 motorway, is progressing well. Practical completion of the scheme, which will deliver best in class product in an under supplied market, is due early in the new year. The scheme delivers a 39.0% increase in lettable floor area compared with the previous warehouse building on the site, and will double the rental value to circa GBP1.48 million pa, making a significant contribution to earnings once let. Our active marketing campaign continues to generate interest, although tenant commitment in this sector is more typical once the building is complete.
Valuation
The external independent valuation of the portfolio by Knight Frank LLP as at 30th September 2019 was GBP492.14 million. The valuation surplus for the period was 1.0% (GBP5.06 million), outperforming the MSCI index which fell by -1.1%. Our active portfolio management contributed to the 1.9% increase in ERV (MSCI: 0.1%) which had a positive impact on valuation, supplemented by the release of development gains.
At sector level, our office portfolio increased in value by 0.3% and our industrial and logistics portfolio by 2.7% (MSCI: 0.1% and 1.6% respectively).
The net initial yield on contracted income was 5.1% (31st March 2019: 5.3%) and the reversionary yield at full ERV was 6.3% (31st March 2019: 6.6%), reflecting the 24.3% potential income growth still to come.
Finance
Adjusted profit before tax, our measure of recurring profit excluding valuation movements, profit on disposal and other one-off items, increased by 17.6% to GBP5.08 million (September 2018: GBP4.32 million), primarily due to an increase of GBP2.17 million in gross rental income, which ended the period up 20.8% at GBP12.61 million (September 2018: GBP10.43 million). IFRS profit before tax was GBP11.17 million (September 2018: GBP11.40 million).
The most significant contribution to the increase in gross rental income was GBP1.47 million from 30 Lombard Street, EC3 following the letting in January 2019. Also contributing to the increase in gross rental income was GBP240,000 of back-dated income from rent reviews settled during the period.
Non-recoverable property costs of GBP1.40 million (September 2018: GBP1.26 million) were slightly higher mainly due to an increase in rates and other void costs on recently completed refurbishments prior to reletting. After taking these costs into account, net rental income increased by 22.8% (GBP2.10 million) to GBP11.27 million (September 2018: GBP9.17 million).
Administration costs of GBP2.40 million were 26.6% lower than the comparable period last year (September 2018: GBP3.26 million) due to a variation of the IFRS 2 share-based payment assumptions. Excluding the accounting benefit of this variation, administration costs of GBP2.79 million for the period were unchanged (September 2018: GBP2.82 million).
Interest payable increased to GBP3.34 million (September 2018: GBP2.02 million). This anticipated increase was partly due to higher levels of drawn debt, which ended the period at GBP173.00 million (September 2018: GBP161.00 million), and a reduction in capitalised interest on development projects. Contributing to the increase in drawn debt was development and refurbishment expenditure over the period totalling GBP10.58 million, offset by net sale proceeds from the disposal of Station Plaza, Theale of GBP8.07 million. The ratio of net debt to portfolio value (LTV) at the end of the period was 34.6% (March 2019: 33.3%).
Inclusion of 30 Lombard Street, EC3 as one of three properties held for sale has triggered a deferred tax provision of GBP960,000, payable only in the event of a successful disposal.
After taking these movements into account, adjusted earnings per share increased by 17.2% to 5.39 pence (September 2018: 4.60 pence), and the EPRA earnings per share increased to 5.86 pence (September 2018: 4.10 pence).
IFRS net asset value increased by GBP2.85 million to GBP313.93 million over the period, benefiting from the GBP3.90 million valuation surplus (including IFRS 16). As a result, EPRA net asset value per share increased by 2.1% to 333 pence (March 2019: 326 pence).
Our financing position was strengthened over the period with completion in April 2019 of the refinancing of three bilateral loans totalling GBP125.00 million into one club facility of GBP180.00 million. This increased our total facilities to GBP245.00 million, providing additional headroom for acquisitions and capital expenditure on refurbishment and development projects.
Dividend
The Board is pleased to declare an interim dividend of 2.8 pence per share, maintaining the level of dividend paid for the same period last year. This will be paid as an ordinary dividend on 2nd January 2020.
Outlook
The letting of our development and refurbishment schemes, the recycling of capital and the investment of firepower from our increased loan facilities provide us with the opportunity to build on the substantial growth we have delivered from the strategic investment in our portfolio over recent years.
We hope that by the end of the year, political clarity will provide the basis for a more positive economic outlook. In the meantime, our focus on the strongest regions and sectors of the UK and their prospects to enhance our portfolio growth once confidence improves, provides us with an encouraging platform for the future.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
Six months to 30th September 2019
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
-- the condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU;
-- the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by:
(a) DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements; and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and

S Perkins
Chief Executive Officer
G Salmon
Chief Financial Officer
Identification of business risks
The Group's principal risks and uncertainties are consistent with those noted in the Annual Report for the year ended 31st March 2019 which include compliance with financial covenants on bank borrowing, tenant default, liquidity and interest rate movements on bank borrowing. The Directors consider that the significant areas of judgement that have a material effect on the Group's performance are valuation of investment properties and financial instruments. These are unchanged from those identified in the Annual Report for the year ended 31st March 2019.
Going concern
The Interim Report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Group will be able to meet its liabilities as they
fall due, for the foreseeable future. The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts which show that the cash generated from operating activities will provide sufficient cash headroom for the foreseeable future.
The Group is in full compliance with its borrowing covenants at 30th September 2019 and is expected to be in compliance for the next 12 months.
INDEPENT REVIEW REPORT TO MCKAY SECURITIES PLC
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30th September 2019 which comprises the Group Profit and Loss and other Comprehensive Income, the Group Statement of Financial Position, the Group Cash Flow Statement, the Group Statement of Changes in Equity and related notes 1 to 12. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
Directors' responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
As disclosed in note 1 (page 13), the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRS's as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30th September 2019 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Six months to 30th September 2019
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The annual financial statements of McKay Securities Plc ("the Group") are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as adopted by the European Union. This condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.
As required by the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the financial statements have been prepared applying the accounting policies and presentation that were applied in the preparation of the Company's published Group financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2019.
The following accounting standards and guidance were adopted by the Group during the year:
IFRS 16 Leases (effective year ended 31st March 2020)
IFRS 16 Leases establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases, with the objective of ensuring that lessees and lessors provide relevant information that faithfully represents those transactions. The standard specifies how entities reporting in accordance with IFRSs will recognise, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. IFRS 16's approach to lessor accounting is substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17 Leases. The standard is effective for annual period beginning on or after 1st January 2019. No material impact has been experienced with the adoption of IFRS 16 as the Group has no current lease commitments.
The Board approved the unaudited interim financial statements on 15th November 2019.
2 Alternative Performance Measures
The Group uses a number of Alternative Performance Measures ("APMs") which are not defined or specified within IFRS. The Directors use these measures in order to assess the underlying operational performance of the Group and allow greater comparability between periods but do not consider them to be a substitute for, or superior to, IFRS measures. Adjusted profit before tax is in note 3. EPRA earnings per share is in note 6. EPRA net asset per share is in note 11.
