Asset revaluations result in $12.35 million[1] or 8.8% uplift
GARDA Capital Limited ( GARDA ) as the responsible entity of GARDA Diversified Property Fund ( Fund or GDF ) announces a $12.35 million or 8.8% increase in the value of its property portfolio compared to the previous independent valuations completed in 2015. Adjusting for capital expenditure accounted for in the fair value of the portfolio at 31 December 2015 ( 1H ), these revaluations represent an $11.1 million or 7.8% increase to the 1H carrying values.
The increase in property values for the GDF portfolio has been driven by a combination of increasing net property income and the compression of capitalisation rates, as GARDA continues to execute its capital improvements program.
As a result of the revaluations, the Fund’s overall weighted average capitalisation rate has tightened 55 basis points to 8.35%.
The valuation of the Fund’s portfolio as at 1 June 2016 is summarised in the table below.

The revaluations, in combination with an updated mark to market movement on derivatives and allowance for capital expenditure items, are expected to increase the value of GDF’s net tangible assets ( NTA ) by approximately $0.10 per unit which would result in a pro forma NTA of $1.12 [1,3 ] per unit compared to the Fund’s NTA of $1.02 as at 31 December 2015.
The loan to value ratio of the Fund decreases from approximately 31.7% to 29.8%¹.

GARDA’s Managing Director, Matthew Madsen, commented that “following the listing of the Fund in July 2015, the key focus has been to deliver on the forecast annual income distributions of 9 cents per unit, mitigate near term leasing risk, and to continue to execute the capital improvements program. The substantial increase in property valuations is reflective of these activities and the continued improvement in capitalisation rates across the markets in which GDF is exposed to.”
