2020 Objectives

Increase investment position in secured mortgage loans, across both senior and mezzanine opportunities on solid risk adjusted returns
-
Utilise funds management capability to partner with other investors to gain access to larger loan positions that would ordinarily be too large for CVC alone
Investment Summary

With tightening credit markets and property value volatility, this has generated greater loan opportunities that are generating higher returns and improved security on loans

Given the current state of the market, there has been a greater focus on risk management, with more rigorous deal assessment process and investment management, including independent review of project feasibility, developer, project sensitivity and market analysis

Year to Date
1 JULY 2019 – 30 JUNE 2020
Following year end, CVC has commenced the implementation of the revised strategy which has seen:
-
Divestment of $33m of listed equities realising profits of approximately $3m from these positions. Currently held listed investments (11 positions down from 43 as at 30 June 2019) are tracking near 30 June 2019 values over the portfolio as at November;
-
Proceeds of listed equities sales have predominantly been committed or redeployed into property backed lending, providing for income generation in a secure environment. Total investment of approximately $60m in this segment;
-
CVC has entered into unconditional contracts to purchase a greenfield development site suitable for a neighbourhood shopping, medical and childcare centre in Marsden Park, NSW. Settlement is forecast H2 FY2020, with development to occur in H1 FY2021;
-
A further $26m has been committed from external investors into the Eildon Debt Fund which is managed by Eildon Funds Management a wholly owned subsidiary of CVC Limited;
-

CVC Outlook
1 JULY 2019 – 30 JUNE 2020
-
Implementation of the simplified strategy is continuing with a transition from less concentrated positions to high conviction exposures leveraging off CVC core capabilities;
-
Remaining active in property backed lending at this stage of the property cycle;
-
Continued progression of key direct property investments that can unlock substantial long term value for shareholders;
-
Equities performance for FY2020 will be largely determined by higher value positions in portfolio such as TFL, LON, UBI, MSV, CYC, TLX;
-
Private equity portfolio is being actively managed inline with the wider business objectives to maximise value and streamline portfolio;
-
Transition to the new investment strategy provides uncertainty regarding the profit for the year ending 30 June 2020 and payment of dividends.
