LondonMetric refinances £1.5bn debt to cut costs and extend maturities

LondonMetric Property ( (GB:LMP) ) just unveiled an announcement.

LondonMetric Property has refinanced £1.5 billion of unsecured term loans and revolving credit facilities through a £1.3 billion syndicated facility and a £200 million bilateral facility, replacing nearly all unsecured debt maturing over the next four years. The new package, which includes staggered term loans and RCFs with two plus one year extension options, lowers average margins and commitment fees, is expected to deliver annual cash savings of about £6 million and extends the company’s average debt maturity to 4.4 years.

The refinancing diversifies LondonMetric’s lender base by adding two new lenders to its existing group, significantly reduces refinancing risk until the 2029 financial year and leaves only £186 million of debt maturing over the next two years, which is expected to be covered by asset sales and undrawn facilities. Management positions the move as a key step in strengthening the capital structure and supporting the company’s wider funding strategy, including potential future debt capital markets issuance and disciplined growth while containing finance costs for stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LMP) stock is a Sell with a £205.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on LondonMetric Property stock, see the GB:LMP Stock Forecast page.
