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

 

 

	April 2024 (pence)
NAV at the beginning of period	104.45
Operating Income available to distribute (4)	0.75
Unrealised FX gains / (losses) (6)	(0.17)
Dividend declared	(1.38)
NAV at the end of the period	103.65

 

(4) Operating Income available to distribute comprises loan income recognised in the period less the cost of debt facilities utilised by the Group and operating costs incurred  The Operating Income available to distribute also includes any realised foreign exchange gains or losses upon settlement of hedges, except those described in note 5.

(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 considered part of distributable reserves when the rolled hedge matures or is settled and the final net gain or loss on the capital hedges 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 causes some movement in the NAV. These unrealised FX gains / losses are not considered part of distributable reserves.
