Assura PLC

Primary Health accelerates growth through the merger with Assura: portfolio rose to around £6bn, gross rental income climbed 122% and like-for-like growth was 3%. At the same time leverage metrics increased after a £1.2bn bridge financing; LTV is 57% and net debt/EBITDA is 10.4x. Management plans deleveraging via two joint-venture transactions (about £103m and ~£700m) and cost synergies, expects full synergies in 2026/2027 and remains committed to dividend growth. Despite strong operating metrics the stock fell by ~2% after the results as investors emphasised short-term refinancing and execution risks. » More on de.investing.com
