The three key adjustments are as follows: o Reclassification of two of the Group’s Multi Storey Car Parks (‘MSCPs’) from freehold investment properties to freehold properties within car park activities o Application of a single accounting policy to all types of leasehold car park properties, whether long term, short term or right of use asset o Reclassification of the Group’s investment in a listed entity from current to non-current asset investments *Alternative performance measures are detailed, defined and reconciled within Notes 4 and 10 of this announcement COVID-19 impact, response and recovery Impact • Estimated £6.2m impact on income from COVID-19 in the year, driven by: o £1.0m impact in the property business, primarily bad debt o £4.5m CitiPark impact due to lost car parking income during the nationwide lockdowns o £0.7m ibis Styles hotel impact due to lockdowns and hotel closure Response • Temporary closure of car parks to minimise overhead costs, furloughing CitiPark operational branch staff and some head office staff, and TCS board took a 20% salary and fee reduction • Our long history of engagement with tenants has ensured good outcomes achieved in most cases Recovery • The revaluation gains on our office and development portfolio ensured a net revaluation increase over the entire portfolio, despite further reductions in retail and leisure assets • Rent receipts remain strong; as at 18 November 2021 of the £41.4m rent, service charge and VAT billed since March 2020, £38.3m or 92.6% has been paid, with a further £0.4m or 0.8% agreed to be deferred, totalling 93.4% • Of the remaining £2.7m, £2.1m has been waived, mostly in return for improvements in the terms of length of leases. On the remaining £0.6m no agreement has yet been reached Resetting and reinvigorating the business for the future We are now seeing a broadening recovery across all segments of our business. As stated this time last year, the Board has focused on resetting and reinvigorating the business, in particular accelerating the disposal and debt reduction programme. Progress against the strategy is detailed below: Actively managing our assets Our long-standing strategy of active management and redevelopment, to drive income and capital growth, has continued: • The proportion of retail and leisure assets in the portfolio has reduced to 29% from 40% in June 2020, and down from 60% in 2016. Pure retail now represents only 21% of the total portfolio and of that, 52% is in the resilient Merrion Estate • The capital values of both 123 Albion Street and Ducie House have increased, reflecting the completion of their respective refurbishments • Whilst we saw six tenants either entering administration or CVAs (no exposure to any high-profile retail failures), the exposure is modest, representing circa 4% of income. We remain confident in maintaining occupation in the majority of these units Maximising available capital A conservative capital structure, with a mix of short and long-term secure financing, has always underpinned our approach: • £40m of disposal proceeds were used to part repay Group borrowings • Bought back for cancellation of £6.5m of our £106m 2031 5.375% debenture • Since the year end we have refinanced our NatWest facility, which now expires in August 2024 and extended our Lloyds facility by two further years out to June 2023 Investing in our development pipeline Our development pipeline, with an estimated GDV of over £600m, is a valuable and strategic point of difference for TCS which we continue to progress and improve. Notably, in the past year: • We completed the works to implement the planning consent for our next PRS development, Eider House, in Manchester’s Piccadilly Basin Acquiring and improving investment assets to diversify our portfolio We continue to improve investment assets, and will consider new acquisition opportunities that offer the opportunity for both diversification and growth: • Completed the £4m redevelopment of the office space at 123 Albion Street, Leeds and secured leases with StepChange Debt Charity and the Instant office Group for all the remaining vacant space • Potential valuable opportunity to redevelop and modernise our Wade House office (having been vacated by StepChange Debt Charity), the third of our four Merrion Estate offices Current trading – strong first half performance expected • Strong rent receipts in the first quarter ended 30 September 2021 • Recoveries in both the car park and hotel operations as the economy has reopened • Further disposals agreed
