The operating environment in Poland, where Redefine owns a diverse property portfolio valued at R38 billion, is improving with stable and positive operating metrics coming out of a market that was in an unprecedented inflationary environment last year. CEO 'Andrew Konig said during the release of Redefine's interim results for the half year ending 29 February 2024 that the energy price crisis, which was the biggest driver of inflation in that jurisdiction, has softened, with the cost of electricity having quickly recovered and returned to almost pre-crisis levels. This, together with other policies introduced to spur economic recovery by the new administration, is leading to an increase in consumer disposable income and Redefine’s Polish retail platform EPP has benefitted. EPP portfolio: Key outcomes for HY24 • Turned renewal reversions from negative (HY23) to positive at 2.7%. • Improved tenant retention to 97.5%, from 97.2% in HY23. • Increased the unexpired lease term to 4.9 years, from 4.3 years in HY23. • Increased the renewal success rate by GLA to 57%, from 39% in HY23. Redefine lifted its ownership level in EPP during the period from 95.5% to 99.2%, which presents opportunities for tax and operational efficiencies. König said the logistics sector in Poland is also benefitting from solid market fundamentals, underpinned by the reconfiguration of supply chains in the region. Once again, operating metrics across European Logistics Investment, Redefine's polish logistics platform located in key hubs, look positive, with three 100% pre-let developments in progress. König said Redefine sees tremendous growth potential in Polish self-storage, which is immature by European standards. “Redefine is positioned to capture the upside with its ‘baby in the making’, a Polish self-storage logistics platform, that will be looking to increase its NLA to 50 000sqm in due course.” Read the full interim results report here: https://lnkd.in/dqm-3uUk #RedefineProperties #SAREIT #ListedProperty #Poland
