• Redefine Properties Limited maintains its financial covenant ratio, surpassing expectations.
• The loan to value ratio (LTV ratio) is measured at 42.2%, well below the maximum limit of 50%.
• Redefine’s adherence to the covenant demonstrates its commitment to responsible financial management and the protection of stakeholders.

Redefine Properties Limited announced the successful maintenance of its financial covenant pertaining to the loan to value ratio (LTV ratio) as of August 31, 2022. The LTV ratio, a critical metric that should not exceed 50%, has been measured at an impressive 42.2%.

The financial covenant applies to Redefine’s R30 billion Domestic Medium-Term Note Programme, designed to ensure responsible debt management and safeguard the interests of the company’s stakeholders. By meeting this covenant, Redefine demonstrates its dedication to maintaining a robust financial position and sustainability within the market.

By maintaining a lower LTV ratio, Redefine effectively mitigates potential risks associated with fluctuations in property valuations, offering added protection to its noteholders.

The successful maintenance of a healthy LTV ratio showcases Redefine’s prudent financial management practices, proactive risk mitigation strategies, and the overall stability of its extensive property portfolio. This achievement further solidifies Redefine’s position as a reliable and trustworthy REIT within the South African market.
