JOHN LAING ENVIRONMENTAL ASSETS GROUP LIMITED
("JLEN" or the "Company")
Net Asset Value and Dividend announcement
JLEN, the listed environmental infrastructure fund, announces
its unaudited Net Asset Value ("NAV") as at 30 June 2017 and
interim dividend for the quarter ended on that date.
The Company's unaudited NAV as at 30 June 2017 was GBP339.5
million or 100.0 pence per share, compared to GBP340.0 million or
100.1 pence per share as at 31 March 2017.
Short term electricity prices and forecasts for longer term
prices from an established market consultant reduced slightly over
the June quarter leading to a reduction in the portfolio valuation
of the renewable energy assets.
Availability across the environmental processing assets and the
renewables portfolio during the last quarter has generally been
good, apart from the Branden solar project that concluded its
connector replacement programme after the quarter end and is
continuing to address periodic issues with inverter unavailability
with the inverter manufacturer. Excluding Branden, electricity
generation for the renewables portfolio during the quarter was in
line with budget. Revenues at the waste management and wastewater
treatment facilities were in line with expectations.
The Company also announces a quarterly interim dividend of
1.5775 pence per share for the quarter ended 30 June 2017, in line
with the dividend target set out in the 2017 Annual Report.
