For what it's worth Henderson smaller cos added wkp to their portfolio a while ago so we are not alone in seeing upside from these distressed levels.

If you renew borrowings at current rates and change capitalisation rates in accordance with normalised interest rates property valuations drop sharply - this is what lies ahead for all property companies in the UK and explains the weak share prices. There is much further to go, but not in the next few weeks, 2023 will be bloody. Property funds closing to redeemers is the canary the coal mine - soon there will cease to be a market until prices painfully adjust to long gilts at 5% and heading up.

Residential will also crater

What does it say about the CFO's judgement that he bought at £5 a month back - not a lot, I would suggest

Goldmann Sachs yesterday predicted 20% falls in commercial property by the end of 2024 and financing costs rising by 75%.
Lucky that WKP has the majority of its interest costs fixed.
Sitting on a 40% discount so hard not too think it's cheap....just sentiment that's killing it.

Good update I'd say. They sorted the McKay debt in Q2.

I agree sliceofpie, it must be pension funds selling this down here. It's on a 65% discount based on last NAV

WKP have some really 1st Class Offices modern or recently refurbished, Management has done a good job, Mayfair, Royal Parks etc, will be a beneficiary, of flexible office working. Good value here. As Central London centric locations will maintain liquidity, Sovereign Wealth funds etc. only buy in London. Tempted but still falling so will wait a few more weeks or so.

I missed the update in July. https://www.investegate.co.uk/workspace-grp-plc--wkp-/rns/first-quarter-business-update/202207210700062061T/

LTV is 32% due to the McKay acquisition but this will go below 30% as they sell off the non-core properties. Anyway discount back up now to a crazy looking 45%.

4 July. Barclays cuts Workspace Group price target to 640 (800) pence - 'underweight'

Epra NTA is 988p so this is already on an very large 45% discount. LTV is only 23%


and massive headroom on covenants;

All outstanding borrowings require compliance with LTV and Interest Cover covenants. As at the tightest test date in the scenarios modelled, the Group could withstand a reduction in net rental income of 51% and a fall in the asset valuation of 56% compared to 31 March 2022 (pro-forma including McKay) before these covenants are breached, assuming no mitigating actions are taken.

Yes prospects look good here, just need Mr Market to start appreciating that fact. Remains far too cheap imho. Sale of McKay non core interests could see a jump near term as well possibly if price achieved is decent.

As a holder of McKay, pleased to see WKP make something on the deal too. The market never appreciated the value, partly due to McKay directors
May encourage more corporate activity in the sector

Workspace Group plc last week completed the acquisition of McKay Securities plc. Following completion, Workspace's portfolio comprises gross property assets of £2.9bn with 5.5m sq. ft. of lettable space. Workspace has allotted 10,513,098 new ordinary shares of £1 each as part of the consideration for the transaction, nearly 5% equity dilution. Long term investments are up around 23% on end FY21 levels, pointing to a commensurate boost to revenues to come. Obviously the sector has been hard hit by COVID and multiple lockdowns, share price is still close to 50% below pre-Pandemic levels. The balance sheet is solid with plenty of cash, but valuation is average and the share price lacks momentum. A name to monitor for now....
