First Quarter Company Update
Strong operational performance, enhanced balance sheet strength and well positioned for growth
NewRiver will hold its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") at 10:00am today and is providing the following trading update in respect of the first quarter ended 30 June 2023.
Allan Lockhart, Chief Executive, commented : "The excellent operational performance that we delivered in our last financial year has continued into our first quarter with a good leasing performance leading to a further increase in occupancy and a leasing retention rate of nearly 100%. We continue to see strong occupational demand underpinned by a resilient UK consumer.
Our cash position during the quarter increased to GBP137m driven by disciplined capital recycling and our excellent operational performance further enhancing what we believe to be one of the strongest balance sheets in our sector and a market leading yield gap.
We now have significant growth opportunities available to us - underpinned by our substantial cash holdings and through the expansion of our capital partnerships, driven by our extensive sector expertise. We will allocate our capital wisely as and when attractive opportunities arise; in the meantime we are generating a return on the majority of our cash holdings of 5% ."
