H1 24 results – Capital recycling creates the opportunity for more attractive future yields
Analyst: Bjorn Zietsman

Mkt Cap £297m | Share price 130.5p | Prem/(disc) -12.3% | Div yield 9.3%

Event
RECI reported its interim results this morning. NAV per share as at 30 September 2023 was 147.7p and RECI generated an annualised NAV total return of +9.4% (dividend yield of 9.1%). EPS increased c.51% y/y to 6.8p mainly as prior period losses from the bond portfolio and currency instruments reversed with RECI generating gains in the current period. Expenses have been well contained, with other operating expenses (excl. management and administration fees) declining c.32% y/y. Finance costs increased +63% y/y due to the impact of higher interest rates.

The portfolio comprises 45 positions with an aggregate value of £334.1m. RECI had cash of £14.9m at the month end.

The outlook statement cites caution around current macro-economic conditions, but confidence in Cheyne’s management expertise which positions RECI well, stating that scheduled portfolio repayments will boost available cash resources for investment into attractive higher yielding opportunities identified by Cheyne. RECI’s latest investor presentation showed: (i) The portfolio experienced no defaults; (ii) Cash reserves are targeted at between 5% and 10% of the NAV (September’s cash levels were c.4.8% of the NAV); (iii) The outlook is positive, guiding for a growing opportunity set as bank lending becomes more constrained. RECI stated they have a strong pipeline of floating rate senior loans.

Liberum view

RECI’s portfolio of real estate debt offers higher yielding returns than direct real estate investments whilst still being underpinned by tangible property in the event of default, thereby offering investors a higher risk adjusted return profile than direct real estate. Moreover, RECI also pays a higher dividend yield than UK REITs. When compared to banks, RECI is more capital efficient as its permanent capital structure allows for lower regulatory capital requirements enabling a higher return on equity than some traditional bank lenders.

The opportunity set for more attractive non-bank real estate debt investments can only expand (in our view) as banks lenders continue to tighten their lending on liquidity concerns in a rising rate environment and increasing need to maintain capital adequacy and increase deposit rates. The H1’24 performance is in line with our expectations. The opportunity set for new investments is very strong in this environment and the current 9.3% dividend yield represents attractive relative value, particularly given the focus on senior loans at low LTVs. We expect the company to continue rotating its bond portfolio into senior loans as it views senior loans as offering better risk adjusted returns

NAV +0.5% MoM, £5.9m of market bond portfolio realised

Mkt Cap £297m | Share price 129.0p | Prem/(disc) -13.1% | Div yield 9.3%

Event
RECI’s NAV per share as at 31 October 2023 was 148.4p representing a +0.5% NAV total return MoM (+8% over the last 12 months). The change in the NAV for the month largely relates to 1.1p of interest income, -0.4p decrease in asset valuations, 0.1p in FX offset by expenses of -0.2p.

The portfolio comprises 36 positions with an aggregate value of £321.4m. The weighted average LTV is reported at 10.1%. RECI had cash of £22.7m at the month end.

RECI’s latest investor presentation showed: (i) The portfolio experienced no defaults; (ii) Cash reserves are targeted at between 5 and 10% of the NAV (October’s cash levels are c.6.6% of the NAV); (iii) The outlook is positive, guiding for a growing opportunity set as bank lending becomes more constrained. RECI stated they have a strong pipeline of floating rate senior loans.

Liberum view

October’s performance is broadly in line with expectations. The opportunity set for new investments is very strong in this environment and the current 9.3% dividend yield represents attractive relative value, particularly given the focus on senior loans at low LTVs. Despite wider market challenges in October, RECI successfully realised £5.9m (net of repo financing) of value from its Market Bond portfolio, realising a small loss equivalent to 0.4p per share against the NAV; these proceeds will be reinvested in senior secured mortgage loans on attractive terms. We expect the company to continue rotating its bond portfolio into senior loans as it views senior loans as offering better risk adjusted returns.

Initiation of share buyback programme
Analyst: Joachim Klement and Shonil Chande

Mkt Cap £291m | Share price 127.0p | Prem/(disc) -14.4% | Div yield 9.4%

Event

RECI has announced its intention to initiate a share buyback programme, beginning today and extending to 31 March 2024. The maximum purchase amount will be £5m (1.5% of last reported NAV of £339.9m), within RECI’s general authority to purchase a maximum of 34.4m shares (15% of outstanding shares).

Under the terms of the programme, the maximum price payable per share must not exceed the higher of:

105% of the average middle market quotations for the previous five business days
the higher of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the LSE
Liberum view

This morning’s announcement will come as good news to investors and is in response to RECI’s current 14% discount to NAV. The short duration of RECI’s loan and bond portfolio (less than 2 years) means that capital can be recycled into both buying back shares and/or new loans with very attractive IRRs. The buyback programme only makes RECI more attractive, in our view, with the shares yielding 9.4% and the return outlook further improved by the new higher interest rate environment. The addition of the buyback, assuming full utilisation, implies a total yield (buyback yield + dividend yield) of c.11%.

The weighted average LTV of 60% provides significant downside protection and all of the loans continue to perform in line with expectations. We expect the share price to respond positively to this morning’s announcement.

Addition of a marginal buyer should complement volumes that have held well

Not all share price discounts are created equal and in this environment, the addition of a significant buyer can have a material impact. Compared to many alternative funds, where volumes have declined significantly this year, volumes and liquidity have held up well in RECI’s case, without repurchasing shares. RECI is one of the top 10 highest-yielding funds within the AIC universe, on a NAV basis, and one that remains attractively positioned given the floating rate short-duration focus.



There are several ways to evaluate the impact of share repurchases. These include the impact on the share price, the impact on the discount, the impact on discount volatility, NAV accretion, and impact on the bid/ask spread. Based on our tracking across these metrics for alternative funds, given RECI’s portfolio characteristics and liquidity profile, there is a good chance that the buyback programme will have a material impact on the discount. Useful case studies YTD include Fair Oaks Income and Sequoia Economic Infrastructure, which share some of the relatively higher-yielding and floating rate exposure characteristics. The impact on NAV accretion will be relatively more modest given the initial size and the fact that RECI’s discount is not especially high, compared to many alternative funds.

Front page of Hardman's report (paid for research)...

RECI’s current discount to NAV (15%) suggests to us that some investors could be concerned that potential issues with commercial real estate (CRE) will dramatically affect the trust’s assets. In our view, the key reasons why they should not lie in RECI’s management of its position as a debt provider and in its asset selection. We note i) CRE equity holders take first losses (with a 60% LTV, RECI has a big cushion), ii) when accounts have got into difficulties, RECI has typically seen more funds injected by the equity backers, iii) CRE equity holders suffer from rising rates, as value transfers from equity holders to debt providers, and iv) RECI has limited office exposure (none in the US) – the sector most exposed to working from home.
► CRE equity holders vs. debt: CRE equity holders are affected directly by falling CRE prices, rents and rising borrowing costs. The risks to a debt provider to CRE (like RECI) arise from the probability of a borrower defaulting and loss in the event of default, not CRE prices alone. We detail below how RECI materially reduces both of these factors.
► July 2023 factsheet: The underlying NAV rose 1.5p,due to recurring interest income(1.0p).
Cash was £17m, and gross leverage £90m. The book has 45 positions (30 loans, gross
drawn value £371m, and 15 bonds, fair value £35m – down from 26 and £90m,
respectively, at end-March). The weighted average LTV is 60%, and the yield is 10.8%.
► Valuation: In the five-year, pre-pandemic era, on average, RECI traded at a premium to NAV. In periods of market uncertainty, it has traded at a discount. It now trades at a 15% discount, a level not seen since late 2020. RECI paid its annualised 12p dividend in 2022, which generated a yield of 9.5% ‒ expected to be covered by interest alone.
► Risks: Credit cycle and individual loan risk are intrinsic. All security values are currently under pressure. We believe RECI has appropriate policies to reduce
the probability of default and has a good track record in choosing borrowers.
Some assets are illiquid. Much of the book is development loans.
► Investment summary: RECI generates an above-average dividend yield from
well-managed credit assets. Income from its positions covers the dividends.
Sentiment to marketwide credit risk is currently difficult, but RECI’s strong
liquidity and debt restructuring expertise provide extra reassurance. Where
needed, to date, borrowers have injected further equity into deals.
