To have maintained collection and deferred payment levels at 87% to date reflects the quality, uniqueness and diversified nature of our portfolio and the collaborative and strong relationships we have built in partnership with our tenants over many years. "I am also pleased with the significant and swift progress made on our disposal programme. £41.2m of sales since our June year end has allowed us to significantly reduce debt, lower the proportion of retail and leisure assets in our portfolio, increase financial headroom, and create greater flexibility for the future as we reset and reinvigorate the business."

13:08		speedsgh: PurplePelmets - I know it is somewhat out-of-date now that the 2020 Final Results have been released (we are still awaiting release of the 2020 Annual Report) but according to the 2019 Annual Report, the Ziff family owns 52% of the company's shares. AFAIAA it has been at this level for a while and hasn't changed materially since release of the 2019 Annual Report. HTTPS://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/tcs-plc-uploads/tcs-plc/files/bbcab04031_2019-10-25-08-57-20.pdf Again out-of-date but this analysis of TOWN by Maynard Paton (published March 2018) is well worth a read for background info if you haven't already seen it.

06:28		spectoacc: Some interesting sales, all at or near to book value, which is a plus. However, not sure the headline of selling some "retail" assets really accounts for the fact that the lion's share of the sales was of Waitrose/Aldi/Home Bargains, 3 very strong covenants. But all a positive for the LTV: "Town Centre Securities PLC, the regional property investor and car park operator, today announces that it has sold four retail properties in Scotland and London for a total sum of £35.2m. The units sold comprise of two Waitrose stores in Milngavie and Glasgow; an Aldi/Home Bargains store in Milngavie; and a high street retail store in Chiswick, London. The details of the sales are as follows: Two Waitrose Stores: · Sold as a single lot to Wire Oast Ltd on a freehold basis for £23.2m. Unconditional contracts have been exchanged with a completion date agreed of 8 October 2020 · The stores are located in Milngavie and Glasgow and total 70,000 square feet · As at 30 June 2020, the combined assets were valued at £23.2 million on a freehold basis and generated annual net rent of £1.23 million Aldi/Home Bargains Store: · Sold to Magell Ltd on a freehold basis for £10.66m · The store is located in Milngavie, Scotland, totals 36,500 square feet and is let to Aldi and Home Bargains · Contracts have been exchanged and will complete follow the completion of the sale of the two Waitrose stores · As at 30 June 2020, the property was valued at £10.825 million on a freehold basis and generated annual net rent of £0.5 million Retail property, Chiswick · The sale of this London property took place through an auction process in August. Let to a local florist on the ground floor with residential upper floors, the property sold for £1.4m · As at 30 June 2020 the property was valued at £1.13 million on a freehold basis and generated annual net rent of £0.1 million The proceeds of all sales will initially be used to reduce bank debt and thereby improve LTV. Edward Ziff, Chairman and Chief Executive of TCS, said: "These disposals represent an acceleration of our strategy to reposition TCS's portfolio; reducing our retail exposure, and enabling a significant reduction in bank debt. "We have successfully navigated an extremely difficult period as a result of the COVID-19 disruption, and have continued to receive high levels of rent receipts. That said it has become increasingly clear that we need to reset and reinvigorate the business. These disposals represent the beginning of that process. "Reducing indebtedness and increasing headroom for growth ensures TCS is better placed to move forward beyond the current period of uncertainty." "

"The active management of our portfolio has ensured delivery of resilient earnings and a stable valuation. Of particular note, is the increase in value of the Merrion Estate. The ongoing diversification of our portfolio, with our retail assets representing only 35% of the portfolio, will continue as we actively look to further sell retail assets."

13:33		speedsgh: Even though it was written back in March 2018, the following Maynard Paton article is an excellent, highly informative, almost forensic analysis of TOWN at that point and much of it holds true today. A highly useful starting point for undertaking investment research on the company. I note that at the time of writing the shares were trading at 281p which represented a 25% discount to the company's 375p NAV (as at 31/12/2017). Today the shares are trading at c185p which represents a 48% discount to the company's latest published NAV of 354p (as at 30/6/2019). There is also a very interesting graph (extracted from SharePad) which shows that the TOWN share price has pretty much consistently traded at a discount to NAV over the past 15-20yrs, albeit rarely as deep as the current discount.

12:41		speedsgh: Whilst acknowledging that they are talking their own book below, I am inclined to agree with their statement below that in the long term the current share price will prove to have been an opportunity. In view of the board and their families' large shareholdings, I also suspect that there is low probability of the "59-year history of maintaining or increasing dividends" not continuing for years to come. ------------------------------------------------------ From the Finals... Creating long-term value for shareholders Our objective has always been to generate value for our shareholders, with a particular emphasis on income and dividend, and we are very proud of our unbroken, 59-year history of maintaining or increasing dividends. A source of frustration in recent times has been the disconnect between our share price and net asset value per share. We firmly believe that our long history of value creation combined with our material development pipeline should present an excellent investment opportunity for investors. £1,000 invested in TCS shares 50 years ago would today be worth circa £580,700 on a total return basis, equivalent to a CAGR of 13.6% per annum (Source: Datastream). Furthermore, again over the last 50 years, the TCS share price has increased in value by an average annual rate of 9.1%, compared to the FTSE All Share at 7.0% (As at 9/8/19)
