Net Asset Value, Factsheet and Notice of Results
The Board of Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust plc (the "Company" or "ORIT") announces that the unaudited net asset value ("NAV") of the Company as at 31 December 2021 on a cum-income basis was £577.7 million or 102.26 pence per ordinary share.
The Company's unaudited NAV has increased by £86.9 million or 3.10 pence per ordinary share compared to 30 September 2021. This uplift was driven primarily by increases in wholesale energy pricing in Sweden, Poland and the UK (+£22.3 million), particularly in the short-term.
Other drivers of the 31 December 2021 NAV include an increase in short term UK inflation assumptions (+£5.4 million), and the Company's recent fundraise, raising net proceeds of £72.4 million. These movements were partially offset by dividends paid of £6.2 million or 1.25 pence per ordinary share, net FX movements after hedging of -£3.2 million and other net movements of -£3.8 million, including transaction costs relating to acquisitions made during the quarter.
