ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
December 2014 Property Valuations
SCA Property Group (ASX: SCP) (“SCP”) is pleased to announce the results of its property valuations as at December 2014.
Fifteen of SCP’s completed properties were independently valued in Australia and New Zealand. In addition two of the properties acquired (The Markets and Prospect Vale) after June 2014 were also independently valued. The remaining 61 completed properties were internally valued.
Overall, the total portfolio capitalisation rate improved by 22bps to 7.61% at December 2014 (from 7.83% at June 2014), and the total value of investment properties increased by $176.9m to $1,794.4m. The components of this increase were:
-
Australian completed properties valuation increased by $41.1m;
-
New Zealand completed properties valuation increased by $1.6m (NZ$1.7m); and
-
Acquisitions completed during the period added $134.2m (including a $4.1m increase in the value of Claremont, and a $4.2m increase in the value of Greystanes).
The solid progress we have made during the period on reducing our specialty vacancy supports these valuation increases.
For financial reporting purposes the impact of these valuation increases on net tangible assets will be reduced by stamp duty paid on the acquisitions during the half year, the value of improvements made to the properties, lessor works and tenant incentives, and straight-lining.
