$192m increase in Centuria Industrial REIT’s Portfolio within Q3 FY21

• 8.1% portfolio value increase on a like for like basis, during Q3 FY21¹
• 46bps increase in total portfolio WACR to 4.96%²
• Proforma NTA increased to $3.32 per unit³
• Total portfolio value increased to $2.6bn⁴.

Australia’s largest listed pure-play industrial fund, Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP), today announced its total portfolio value increased within the March quarter by $192million¹ to $2.6billion⁴ on a like for like book value basis.

Of its 61 industrial assets, 56 were independently valued⁵ resulting in healthy increases in capital values and overall capitalisation rate compression across the portfolio, which is evident from recent market transactions.

During FY21 to date, CIP transacted $757million worth of industrial assets, which alone generated a $64million uplift towards its total portfolio revaluation gain.

The weighted average capitalisation rate (WACR) tightened 46 basis points from 5.42% to 4.96%².

Subsequently, proforma Net Tangible Assets (NTA) increased from $2.99 to $3.32 per unit³.

Jesse Curtis, CIP Fund Manager, commented, “Currently, Australia’s industrial property market is experiencing a substantial re-rate, attracting significant investment demand from both domestic and international capital.

“Major transactions in the market continue to show capitalisation compression, complemented by strong tenant demand from e-commerce and a scarcity of investment grade assets.”

Key valuation movements include:

The CIP portfolio has a healthy 9.8 year Weighted Average Lease Expiry (WALE) and a 97.7% occupancy⁶.

Curtis concluded, “With evidence of continued major transactions in the industrial sector expected, CIP’s is well positioned to be a major beneficiary of the strong performing Australian industrial market.”
