Charter Hall Long WALE REIT (ASX: CLW) today announces the results of December 2022 portfolio valuations.

December 2022 portfolio valuations
CLW had 93% of the portfolio by gross asset value independently valued as at 31 December 2022 with the balance of the portfolio having been independently valued at 30 June 2022.

The valuations resulted in a $64.6 million, or 0.9% net uplift on prior book values, increasing the overall portfolio value from $7,151 million1 to $7,215 million during the six-month period to 31 December 2022. The portfolio’s weighted average cap rate has expanded 5bps from 4.36% to 4.41% and excluding the impact of the Metcash lease extension, the portfolio’s weighted average cap rate expanded 10 bps.

The unaudited impact of the valuations announced today are expected to increase CLW’s estimated pro-forma June 2022 NTA per security from $6.17 to $6.26, an increase of 9 cents per security, or 1.4%2, reflecting the high percentage of uncapped CPI-linked rent-review assets in the portfolio.

A summary of the CLW portfolio valuation by sector as at 31 December 2022 is outlined below:
