SWEF: September 2024 NAV

Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited (the “Company”) (Ticker: “SWEF”)

Net Asset Value, 30 September 2024

This announcement contains price sensitive information.

As at the close of business on 30 September 2024 the unaudited net asset value (NAV) of the Company’s Ordinary Shares was 105.61p (31 August 2024: 105.02p). The 30 September 2024 NAV shown here has been calculated before taking into account the €12.9 million provision made and announced on 21 October 2024 related to Office Portfolio, Ireland and the dividend of 1.375 pence per Share announced by the Company today both of which will be recognized in the October 2024 NAV. Please refer to the Reconciliation of NAV per share movements below for more information.

Net Asset Value in total:

The Cash and cash equivalents balance in the table above includes a cash reserve to cover undrawn loan commitments in the portfolio, totaling £23.0 million, as set out in the table below.

Capital amounts drawn as at 30 September 2024 and amounts committed but undrawn as at 30 September 2024 are shown below.

(1) The balances shown corresponds to cash advanced.

(2) Euro amounts drawn converted at the month end spot rate.

(3) Excludes interest which may be capitalised.

The difference between amounts drawn in the table above and “Loans advanced” in the first table is accrued income.

Reconciliation of NAV per share movements for the month ended 30 September 2024:

(4) Operating Income available to distribute comprises loan income recognised in the period less operating costs incurred. It includes realised foreign exchange gains and losses that are available to distribute except where the realised gains and losses relate to the settlement of hedges that were previously rolled forward and the gain or loss on that roll forward was classified as unavailable to distribute (see note 5 below). 

(5) On occasion, the Group may realise a gain or loss on the roll forward of a hedge if it becomes necessary to extend a capital hedge beyond the initial anticipated loan term. If this situation arises the Group will separate the realised FX gain or loss from other realised FX gains or losses and not consider it available to distribute or as a reduction in distributable profits. The FX gain or loss will only be transferred to distributable income when the rolled hedge matures or is settled due to the loan repayment, and the final net gain or loss on the capital hedges over the life of the loan can be determined.

(6) Unrealised foreign exchange gain/losses relate to the net impact of changes in the valuation of foreign exchange hedges and the sterling equivalent value of Euro loan investments (using the applicable month end rate). Mismatches between the hedge valuations and the loan investments may occur depending on the shape of the forward FX curve and this may cause some movement in the NAV. These unrealised FX gains / losses are not considered part of distributable reserves.

All figures herein are published based on current information, estimates and judgements.
