March 2024
(pence)
NAV at the beginning of period 103.69
Operating Income available to distribute (4) 0.65
Reclassification of Realised FX gains from not distributable to distributable income following (1.72)
loan repayments (5)
Realised FX hedging gains reclassified as available to distribute following loan repayments (6) 1.56
Unrealised FX gains / (losses) (7) 0.27
NAV at the end of the period 104.45
(4) Operating Income available to distribute comprises loan income recognised in the period less the cost of debt facilities utilised by the Group and operating costs incurred. It includes realised foreign exchange gains and losses that are available to distribute except where the realised gains and losses relate to the settlement of hedges that were previously rolled forward and the gain or loss on that roll forward was classified as unavailable to distribute (see notes 5 and 6 below). These movements are shown separately in the table above.
(5) On occasion, the Group may realise a gain or loss on the roll forward of a hedge if it becomes necessary to extend a capital hedge beyond the initial anticipated loan term. If this situation arises the Group will separate the realised FX gain or loss from other realised FX gains or losses and not consider it available to distribute or as a reduction in distributable profits. The FX gain or loss will only be transferred to distributable income when the rolled hedge matures or is settled due to the loan repayment, and the final net gain or loss on the capital hedges over the life of the loan can be determined. The March reconciliation of NAV above shows the reversing of such an FX gain (or proportion thereof) following the repayment of one such loan and the partial repayment of two such loans.
(6) This relates to the transfer of historic realised gains on capital hedges that were rolled (as described under note 5) from undistributable to distributable income due to the final settlement of capital hedges (or a portion thereof where a loan has only partially repaid) less realised FX losses during the month on the repayment of loan amounts and the settlement (or portion thereof) of the rolled hedges.
(7) Unrealised foreign exchange gain/losses relate to the net impact of changes in the valuation of foreign exchange hedges and the sterling equivalent value of Euro loan investments (using the applicable month end rate). Mismatches between the hedge valuations and the loan investments may occur depending on the shape of the forward FX curve and this causes some movement in the NAV. These unrealised FX gains / losses are not considered part of distributable reserves.
