Trading update and dividend declaration
Trading update
The board of Highcroft Investments PLC is pleased to report that
81% of the rent invoiced and due to date for Q4 of the current
financial year has been collected (Q3: 83%; Q2: 78%). The group is
working in conjunction with its tenants to collect outstanding cash
and minimise bad debts. The group continues to operate robustly,
despite the unusual and unpredictable times created by the COVID-19
pandemic and the board is mindful of the on-going effect on the UK
economy, our tenants and all our stakeholders. Consequently, the
group continues to take a cautious approach to working capital
management and is focussed on continuing to deliver long-term
shareholder value post COVID-19.
Dividend declaration
The directors have agreed an interim property income
distribution of 21p (2019 21p) per share, payable on 6 November
2020 to shareholders on the register at 23 October 2020 (with an
ex-dividend date of 22 October 2020).
Outlook
We said in our interim results announced in September that the
on-going property investment environment, in particular the retail
sector, would be likely to remain challenging for the remainder of
the year and into 2021 and this remains the case. However, we
believe that our diversified asset selection criteria and tenant
mix within our current portfolio creates a strong base from which
to continue to develop our business and generate further
shareholder value.
