Executive summary

  • Announced proposed combination with TRIG to form the UK's largest listed infrastructure investment company with net assets over £5.3bn, subject to shareholder approval.

  • Achieved strong operational and financial performance in H1 2025, with robust NAV growth and strategic disposals exceeding targets.

  • Portfolio rotation reduced exposure to short-duration PPP and healthcare assets, supporting long-term value creation.

  • Maintained focus on sustainable NAV growth, reinvestment into longer-duration, earnings-generating assets, and covered dividend expectations.

  • Over £730m of disposals completed in the last 24 months at strong valuations, supporting portfolio flexibility.

Financial highlights

  • Earnings per share rose to 6.1p (prior period: 2.2p), and total investment income for the six months was £145.8m.

  • Dividend cash cover improved to 1.10x (March 2025: 1.07x), supporting covered dividend targets of 8.35p for FY26 and 8.50p for FY27.

  • Over £730m of disposals in the last 24 months, including £225m of UK PPP asset sales in H1 FY26, exceeding disposal targets.

  • Share buyback programme contributed 0.9p NAV accretion, with £60m of shares repurchased in H1 2025.

Outlook and guidance

  • On track to deliver covered dividend targets for FY26 (8.35p) and FY27 (8.50p), with surplus cashflow for reinvestment.

  • Share price implies a long-term annual expected portfolio return of 9.6–9.7% net of costs over a weighted average asset life of 32 years.

  • Focus remains on disciplined capital allocation, further disposals, and selective new investments.

  • Infrastructure megatrends such as decarbonisation, digitalisation, and demographic change underpin long-term growth prospects.

  • Well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities from pricing dislocation between public and private markets.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
