* Sirius Real Estate, the FTSE 250 real estate investment company, has made eight material announcements since our last report on the company (on 12th April 2022).
* Sirius Real Estate has made eight noteworthy announcements since our last report (on 12th April 2022).
*For us, the key highlight of the announcements is that the company has performed exceptionally well in the six months ended 30th September 2022, growing funds from operations (FFO) by 47% over the period.  
*The key highlights of the announcements are as follows:
*Accordingly, we have updated our forecasts, and estimate that the expected return of an investment in Sirius Real Estate over the next 12-months is 57%. In other words, an £100,000 investment in the company is expected to return £157,000 in 12-months time.
**ccc.
*We note that the degree of risk associated with an investment in Sirius is relatively 'low', with the company's shares having an adjusted beta<ref name=":0">Research shows that an investment has two main types of risks: 1) non-systematic and 2) systematic. Systematic risk is the risk related to the overall market, and non-systematic risk is the risk that's specific to an individual investment. Evidence shows that taking on non-systematic risk is inefficient, and it's, therefore, best to eliminate it; and in most cases, elimination is fairy easy to do [by holding a diversified portfolio of investments (i.e. around 15 investments)]. Accordingly, when assessing the riskiness of an investment, it’s best to look at the systematic risk only (i.e. ignore the non-systematic risk). A key measure of systematic risk is beta, and a main way to determine the riskiness of an investment is to compare the beta of the investment with the beta of the market, which is 1. For example, Sirius's adjusted beta (5 years, monthly data) is 1.06, and is, accordingly, 6% above the market beta (of 1); assuming that a 'low' level of riskiness is 10% or less above the market beta, then the riskiness of investing in the company is considered to be relatively 'low' (1.6%<10%). For estimating an asset's beta, in terms of time period, and frequency of observations, the most common choice is five years of monthly data, yielding 60 observations. In terms of the benchmark, we suggest using the iShares MSCI World ETF. One study of U.S. stocks found support for five years of monthly data over alternatives. The beta value in a future period has been found to be on average closer to the mean value of 1.0, the beta of an average-systematic-risk security, than to the value of the raw beta. Because valuation is forward looking, it is logical to adjust the raw beta so it more accurately predicts a future beta.</ref> that is 1.6% above the market (1.016 vs. 1).
*Accordingly, we have updated our forecasts, and estimate that the expected return of an investment in Sirius Real Estate Limited over the next 12-months is 197%. In other words, an £100,000 investment in the company is expected to return £196,841 in 12-months time.
*All-in-all, assuming that a suitable return level in the next 12 months is 10% or more, then an investment in the company is considered to be a 'suitable' one.
*We note that the degree of risk associated with an investment in Sirius is relatively 'low', with the shares having an adjusted beta that is 6% above the market (1.06 vs. 1).

== Reaffirmed Investment Rating ==
On the 7th November 2022, Sirius Real Estate announced that the rating agency Fitch Ratings has reaffirmed the company's BBB investment grade rating with 'Stable Outlook' (Long-Term Issuer Default Rating).  


Cash flows from operating activities increased by 37.5% to €48.1 million (H1 FY2022: €35.0 million), and mainly due to the disposal of properties, cash flows from investing activities was negligible (H1 FY2022: negative €107.5 million).

The total dividend per share for the period increased by 32.4% to 2.79 cents (H1 FY2022: 2.04 cents).
In its rating, Fitch noted that it expects Sirius's income to remain stable, due to an active focus on occupancy and low affordable rents for the company's out-of-town locations. It also highlighted the benefits of the Sirius operating platform and the resilience of its core, high-yielding portfolio. Fitch anticipates that total average portfolio occupancy levels will remain above 80%.


Funds From Operations (FFO) increased by 47.0% to €48.5 million (H2 FY2022: €33.0 million).
== Early refinancing of next major debt expiry ==
On 6th October 2022, Sirius Real Estate announced that it has completed the early refinancing of the the company's next major debt expiry, a €170 million facility with Berlin Hyp AG, approximately one year in advance of the facility's due date.  


The company said it continues to expect to trade in-line with consensus and management expectations for the full year.
The refinancing comprises a new 7-year, €170 million facility at a fixed interest rate of 4.26%, which will replace and redeem the existing facility upon its expiry on 31 October 2023.


Given the rising interest rates and the uncertainty that this and the many other factors affecting the German and UK property markets are causing at the moment, the company has prioritised improving its debt ratios and building up its cash reserves. Net LTV, which reduces the loan balance by free cash (excluding restricted cash balances) in its calculation, was 41.0% (FY2022: 41.6%) whilst interest cover at EBITDA level was 8.1x as at 30th September 2022 (FY2022: 7.3x). The group added that it's fully committed to continue reducing its net LTV to be well within 40% or below in the near term.
As of 30 September 2022, the group had a total of €993 million of outstanding debt, €750 million of which is unsecured. The remaining €243 million comprised mortgage-backed debt, of which the most significant tranche is the newly refinanced €170 million Berlin Hyp AG facility referred to above.
 
This refinancing facility extends the group's total weighted average debt expiry from 3.8 years to 5.0 years. When the new facility commences just over a year from now, the group's weighted average cost of debt will increase from 1.4% to 1.9%.
 
The company has €1.6 billion of unencumbered assets and in excess of €138 million of free cash available. Within the next 12 months, Sirius has a total of €35 million of debt expiring, which it is confident of either extending terms with the existing lenders, replacing with new lenders or paying down.
 
== Acquisitions and disposals update ==
On 4th October 2022, Sirius Real Estate announced that it has completed three acquisitions in Germany, for €44.6 million.
 
These acquisitions were all notarised prior to the end of June and have been predominantly funded using capital recycled from three strategic disposals in Germany and the UK for a combined €33.6 million.
 
The disposals have been made at a premium to book value.
 
The three disposals were of assets that offered limited further growth opportunities due to location and/or condition, and comprised:
 
The notarisation of a €1.0 million 3,200 sqm non-income producing land plot in Heiligenhaus, Germany which had a book value of €250,000 at the time of notarisation. This asset is being sold to a supermarket chain as part of its expansion plans, with the transaction expected to complete in January 2023.
 
The three new acquisitions totalling €44.6 million currently generate a combined total of €2.3 million of rental income and €1.6 million of net operating profit annually. The three acquired assets have a combined occupancy of just 54% and offer a range of avenues for Sirius to leverage its significant value creation expertise to grow rental income. The acquired assets comprise:
 
# A €39.8 million (including costs) mixed-use property in Düsseldorf, Germany, situated 2.6 km from the city's international airport. The property comprises mainly office and warehouse/light industrial space and is 55% occupied, offering good value add potential.
# A €3.9 million (including costs) primarily warehouse asset located in a well-developed commercial area in Dreieich, Germany, that is strategically adjacent to an existing property owned by Sirius.  We intend to convert the property into a self-storage facility, adding to our existing SmartSpace Self-Storage brand that now exists in 32 locations across Germany.
# A €0.9 million (including costs) small 239 sqm vacant office building in Potsdam. The property is placed strategically at the entrance to one of the Company's existing sites and directly adjacent to the world famous Babelsberg Film Studios.
 
The company said that it has identified a number of asset management initiatives within the three newly acquired properties which will allow us to grow rental income and occupancy by leasing into markets where we see continued strong demand for our products.
 
The company added that it expects to slow its acquisition pipeline. We will also continue to seek to dispose of non-core or mature assets as and when we feel the timing is right.
 
== Change of Chief Financial Officer ==
On the 16th August 2022, Sirius Real Estate announced that for personal reasons, Diarmuid Kelly has decided to step down as the company's Chief Financial Officer.
 
Alistair Marks, the Chief Investment Officer and former CFO of the company, has stepped in as the interim CFO. The company has begun the search for a new CFO.
 
== Sale of Bizspace Camberwell ==
On 16th May 2022, Sirius Real Estate announced the sale of a business park asset for £16 million, representing a 94% premium to the valuation that the asset was initially acquired by the company in November 2021 (i.e. in less than eight months). The proceeds will be used to invest in higher yielding UK opportunities.
 
Key features of the asset include:
 
* It's located in Camberwell, London.
* It's multi-tenanted.
* It comprises approx. 34,700 sq. ft. of industrial and office space, and is 91% occupied.
* The sale price represents a net initial yield (NIY), which is the current annualised rent, net of costs, expressed as a percentage of capital value, after adding notional purchaser's costs, of around 2.0%.
 
== Board changes ==
On 13th June 2022, the company announced two board changes.
 
Caroline Britton was appointed to succeed James Peggie as the Senior Independent Director. Caroline has been a non-executive Director of Sirius since June 2020 and chairs the Audit Committee and is a member of the Nomination Committee of the Board.
 
Joanne Kenrick was appointed to succeed James Peggie as the chair of the Remuneration Committee. Joanne has been a non-executive Director of Sirius since September 2021 and is a member of the Nomination and Sustainability and Ethics Committees of the Board.
 
James Peggie will continue as a non-executive Director and a member of the Audit, Nomination and Remuneration Committees of the Board.
 
== Final results ==
On 13th June 2022, the company announced its full year results for the year ended 31st March 2022.
 
During the 12-month period, revenue increased by 27% to €210 million (FY2021: €165 million), and the gain on revaluation of investment properties jumped by 41% to €210 million (FY2021: €165 million); however, mainly due to an impairment charge, higher administrative expenses and interest expenses, the net profit remained more-or-less unchanged at €147 million (FY 2021: €147 million).
 
In terms of the financial position of the company, the net current assets increased by more than 3x to €55 million (FY 2021: €17 million), and the net asset value (NAV) rose by by 28% to €1.19 billion (FY 2021: €0.93 billion).
 
Cash flows from operating activities increased by 15% to €82 million (from €71 million), and mainly due to the acquisition of a subsidiary and purchase of investment properties, cash flows used in investing activities increased by almost 6x to €430 million (from €74 million). Cash flows from financing activities swung to €431 million (from negative €54 million), driven by the proceeds of loans and the issue of share capital. The total dividend per share for the year increased by 16% to 4.41 cents (from 3.80%).
 
Funds From Operations (FFO) increased by 22.5% to €74.6 million (2021: €60.9 million).

== Reaffirmed Investment Rating ==
On the 7th November 2022, Sirius Real Estate announced that the rating agency Fitch Ratings has reaffirmed the company's BBB investment grade rating with 'Stable Outlook' (Long-Term Issuer Default Rating).
In its rating, Fitch noted that it expects Sirius's income to remain stable, due to an active focus on occupancy and low affordable rents for the company's out-of-town locations. It also highlighted the benefits of the Sirius operating platform and the resilience of its core, high-yielding portfolio. Fitch anticipates that total average portfolio occupancy levels will remain above 80%.
== Early refinancing of next major debt expiry ==
On 6th October 2022, Sirius Real Estate announced that it has completed the early refinancing of the the company's next major debt expiry, a €170 million facility with Berlin Hyp AG, approximately one year in advance of the facility's due date.
The refinancing comprises a new 7-year, €170 million facility at a fixed interest rate of 4.26%, which will replace and redeem the existing facility upon its expiry on 31 October 2023.
As of 30 September 2022, the group had a total of €993 million of outstanding debt, €750 million of which is unsecured. The remaining €243 million comprised mortgage-backed debt, of which the most significant tranche is the newly refinanced €170 million Berlin Hyp AG facility referred to above.
This refinancing facility extends the group's total weighted average debt expiry from 3.8 years to 5.0 years. When the new facility commences just over a year from now, the group's weighted average cost of debt will increase from 1.4% to 1.9%.
The company has €1.6 billion of unencumbered assets and in excess of €138 million of free cash available. Within the next 12 months, Sirius has a total of €35 million of debt expiring, which it is confident of either extending terms with the existing lenders, replacing with new lenders or paying down.
== Acquisitions and disposals update ==
On 4th October 2022, Sirius Real Estate announced that it has completed three acquisitions in Germany, for €44.6 million.
These acquisitions were all notarised prior to the end of June and have been predominantly funded using capital recycled from three strategic disposals in Germany and the UK for a combined €33.6 million.
The disposals have been made at a premium to book value.
The three disposals were of assets that offered limited further growth opportunities due to location and/or condition, and comprised:
The notarisation of a €1.0 million 3,200 sqm non-income producing land plot in Heiligenhaus, Germany which had a book value of €250,000 at the time of notarisation. This asset is being sold to a supermarket chain as part of its expansion plans, with the transaction expected to complete in January 2023.
The three new acquisitions totalling €44.6 million currently generate a combined total of €2.3 million of rental income and €1.6 million of net operating profit annually. The three acquired assets have a combined occupancy of just 54% and offer a range of avenues for Sirius to leverage its significant value creation expertise to grow rental income. The acquired assets comprise:
# A €39.8 million (including costs) mixed-use property in Düsseldorf, Germany, situated 2.6 km from the city's international airport. The property comprises mainly office and warehouse/light industrial space and is 55% occupied, offering good value add potential.
# A €3.9 million (including costs) primarily warehouse asset located in a well-developed commercial area in Dreieich, Germany, that is strategically adjacent to an existing property owned by Sirius.  We intend to convert the property into a self-storage facility, adding to our existing SmartSpace Self-Storage brand that now exists in 32 locations across Germany.
# A €0.9 million (including costs) small 239 sqm vacant office building in Potsdam. The property is placed strategically at the entrance to one of the Company's existing sites and directly adjacent to the world famous Babelsberg Film Studios.
The company said that it has identified a number of asset management initiatives within the three newly acquired properties which will allow it to grow rental income and occupancy by leasing into markets where it sees continued strong demand for its products.
The company added that it expects to slow its acquisition pipeline, and that it will also continue to seek to dispose of non-core or mature assets as and when it feels the timing is right.
== Change of Chief Financial Officer ==
On the 16th August 2022, Sirius Real Estate announced that for personal reasons, Diarmuid Kelly has decided to step down as the company's Chief Financial Officer.
Alistair Marks, the Chief Investment Officer and former CFO of the company, has stepped in as the interim CFO. The company has begun the search for a new CFO.
== Sale of Bizspace Camberwell ==
On 16th May 2022, Sirius Real Estate announced the sale of a business park asset for £16 million, representing a 94% premium to the valuation that the asset was initially acquired by the company in November 2021 (i.e. in less than eight months). The proceeds will be used to invest in higher yielding UK opportunities.
Key features of the asset include:
* It's located in Camberwell, London.
* It's multi-tenanted.
* It comprises approx. 34,700 sq. ft. of industrial and office space, and is 91% occupied.
* The sale price represents a net initial yield (NIY), which is the current annualised rent, net of costs, expressed as a percentage of capital value, after adding notional purchaser's costs, of around 2.0%.
== Board changes ==
On 13th June 2022, the company announced two board changes.
Caroline Britton was appointed to succeed James Peggie as the Senior Independent Director. Caroline has been a non-executive Director of Sirius since June 2020 and chairs the Audit Committee and is a member of the Nomination Committee of the Board.
Joanne Kenrick was appointed to succeed James Peggie as the chair of the Remuneration Committee. Joanne has been a non-executive Director of Sirius since September 2021 and is a member of the Nomination and Sustainability and Ethics Committees of the Board.
James Peggie will continue as a non-executive Director and a member of the Audit, Nomination and Remuneration Committees of the Board.
== Final results ==
On 13th June 2022, the company announced its full year results for the year ended 31st March 2022.
During the 12-month period, revenue increased by 27% to €210 million (FY2021: €165 million), and the gain on revaluation of investment properties jumped by 41% to €210 million (FY2021: €165 million); however, mainly due to an impairment charge, higher administrative expenses and interest expenses, the net profit remained more-or-less unchanged at €147 million (FY 2021: €147 million).
In terms of the financial position of the company, the net current assets increased by more than 3x to €55 million (FY 2021: €17 million), and the net asset value (NAV) rose by by 28% to €1.19 billion (FY 2021: €0.93 billion).
Cash flows from operating activities increased by 15% to €82 million (FY2021: €71 million), and mainly due to the acquisition of a subsidiary and purchase of investment properties, cash flows used in investing activities increased by almost 6x to €430 million (FY2021: €74 million). Cash flows from financing activities swung to €431 million (FY2021: negative €54 million), driven by the proceeds of loans and the issue of share capital. The total dividend per share for the year increased by 16% to 4.41 cents (FY2021: 3.80%).
Funds From Operations (FFO) increased by 22.5% to €74.6 million (FY2021: €60.9 million).

As with any investment, investing in Sirius carries a level of risk. Overall, based on the company's market beta (i.e. 1.06), the degree of risk associated with an investment in Sirius is 'low'. For us, currently, the biggest risk to the group is changes in inflation and interest rates movements, ultimately leading the company to breach its loan facility covenants.

== Risks ==
As with any investment, investing in Sirius carries a level of risk. Overall, based on the company's market beta (i.e. 1.016), the degree of risk associated with an investment in Sirius is relatively 'low'. Here, to estimate the adjusted beta<ref name=":0" />, we used the iShares MSCI World ETF to represent the market portfolio; and in terms of the time period and frequency of observations, we used five years of monthly data (i.e. 60 observations in total), which is supported by a study and is the most common choice.
For us, currently, the biggest risk to the valuation of the company relates to macro-economic factors, in particular unexpected and sudden changes in inflation and interest rates movements, ultimately resulting in a reduction in the affordability and, therefore, demand of the company's assets/properties. With that said, the company has a diverse tenant base, with its top 50 tenants generating 45% of annual income in Germany, and 26% of annual income generated by the top 100 tenants in the UK. Sirius also has no material dependencies on specific industries, and a track record of buying and building high-returning investment opportunities.

Accordingly, we estimate that the expected return of an investment in Sirius Real Estate Limited over the next 12-months is 57%. In other words, an £100,000 investment in the company is expected to return £157,000 within 12-months from now. The assumptions used to estimate the return figure can be found in the table below.
Accordingly, Stockhub estimates that the expected return of an investment in Sirius Real Estate Limited over the next 12-months is 197%. In other words, an £100,000 investment in the company is expected to return £196,841 in 12-months time. The assumptions used to estimate the return figure can be found in the table below.


Assuming that a suitable return level in the 12 months is 10% and Sirius Real Estate Limited achieves its expected return level (of 197%), then an investment in the company is considered to be a 'suitable' one.
