INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

 

This interim management statement relates to the 6 months ended 30 June 2020 and contains information that covers the period from 1 January 2020 to 15 October 2020, the date of publication of this interim management statement.

 

BUSINESS REVIEW

 

The company is a subsidiary of Canary Wharf Group plc and its ultimate parent undertaking is Stork HoldCo LP, an entity registered in Bermuda.

 

The company is a finance vehicle that issues securities which are backed by commercial mortgages over properties within the Canary Wharf estate.  The company is engaged in the provision of finance to the Canary Wharf group, comprising Canary Wharf Group plc and its subsidiaries ('the group').  All activities take place within the United Kingdom.

 

At 30 June 2020, the company had £1,428,849,920 (31 December 2019 - £1,443,512,520) of notes listed on the London Stock Exchange and had lent the proceeds to a fellow subsidiary undertaking, CW Lending II Limited ('the Borrower') under a loan agreement ('the Intercompany Loan Agreement').  The notes are secured on a pool of properties at Canary Wharf, owned by fellow subsidiary undertakings, and the rental income therefrom.

 

Results for the period

 

As shown in the company's Income Statement, the company's loss after tax for the 6 month period was £4,940,024 (period ended 30 June 2019 restated - profit of £14,989,032).

 

This loss included hedge reserve recycling recognised in the Income Statement of £4,969,727 (period ended 30 June 2019 - loss of £14,918,021 including fair value adjustments).  Including the hedge reserve recycling recognised in other comprehensive income the profit for the period was £29,703 (period ended 30 June 2019 - £71,012).

 

The balance sheet shows the company's financial position at the period end and indicates that net assets were £5,427,168 (31 December 2019 - £5,397,465).

 

The weighted average maturity of the company's securitised debt is 12.0 years (31 December 2019 - 12.3 years).  The weighted average interest rate of the securitised debt is 6.1% (31 December 2019 - 6.1%).

INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT (Continued)

 

In the opinion of the Board, these Financial Statements enable shareholders to make an informed assessment of the results and activities of the Company for the period ended 30 June 2020.

 

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

 

Since 31 December 2019 the UK economy has been significantly impacted by the Covid-19 virus which has caused widespread disruption and economic uncertainty.  Such disruption and uncertainty has continued beyond 30 June 2020 and is ongoing at the date this interim statement was approved.  Covid-19 has not however impacted upon the reported results of the company.

 

This does however create uncertainty around the future valuation of investment property held as security for the company's loan notes and the impact on the company's loan minus cash to value covenant.  At the date of approval of the financial statements however, the directors do not consider that this is likely to give rise to a breach of covenant within the next 12 months.

 

The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to continue its operation for the foreseeable future.  Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

 

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

The risks and uncertainties facing the business are monitored through continuous assessment, regular formal quarterly reviews and discussion at Canary Wharf Group plc board level and Canary Wharf Group Investments Holdings plc audit committee and board level.  Such discussion focuses on the risks identified as part of the system of internal control which highlights key risks faced by the company and allocates specific day to day monitoring and control responsibilities to management.  As a member of Canary Wharf Group, the current key risks of the company include the cyclical nature of the property market, concentration risk and financing risk.

 

Cyclical nature of the property market

 

The valuation of the Company and Group's assets are subject to many external economic and market factors.  Following, uncertainty in the Eurozone experienced in recent years, the implications of UK withdrawal from the EU, a General Election and renewed turmoil in the financial markets following the spread of the coronavirus, the London real estate market has had to cope with fluctuations in demand.  The full impact of the coronavirus is not yet possible to predict.  A sustained global epidemic will however inevitably effect short and medium term economic performance and confidence, with adverse implications for the property market.  The real estate market has to date, however, been assisted by the depreciation of sterling since the EU referendum and the continuing presence of overseas investors attracted by the relative transparency of the real estate market in London which is still viewed as both relatively stable and secure.  Although previous Government announcements, in particular the changes to stamp duty in the residential property market, have contributed to a slowing of residential land prices the residential market has been underpinned by continuing demand.  Sales in the residential buildings at Wood Wharf and Southbank Place have accordingly remained relatively strong despite continuing uncertainties which are unhelpful to confidence across the wider real estate sector.

 

INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT (Continued)

 

Concentration risk

 

The majority of the Canary Wharf Group's real estate assets are currently located on or adjacent to the Canary Wharf Estate with a majority of tenants linked to the financial services industry.  Wherever possible steps are taken to mitigate or avoid material consequences arising from this concentration and to diversify the tenant base.

 

Financing risk

 

The broader economic cycle is reflected in movements in inflation, interest rates and bond yields.

 

The company has issued debenture finance in sterling at both fixed and floating rates and uses interest rate swaps to modify its exposure to interest rate fluctuations.  All of the company's borrowings are fixed after taking account of interest rate hedges.  All borrowings are denominated in sterling and the company has no intention to borrow amounts in currencies other than sterling.

 

The company enters into derivative financial instruments solely for the purposes of hedging its financial liabilities.  No derivatives are entered into for speculative purposes.

 

The company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

 

The company's securitisation is subject to a maximum loan minus cash to value ('LMCTV') ratio covenant.

 

The maximum LMCTV ratio is 100.0%.  Based on the 30 June 2020 valuations of the properties upon which the company's notes are secured, the LMCTV ratio at the interest payment date in July 2020 was 42.7%.  The securitisation is not subject to a minimum interest coverage ratio.  A breach of certain financial covenants can be remedied by depositing eligible investments (including cash).

The loans to a fellow subsidiary undertaking bear fixed rates of interest between 5.41% and 7.07% and are repayable in instalments between 2005 and 2037.

 

Other amounts owed by group companies are non-interest bearing and repayable on demand.

 

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT

for the 6 months ended 30 June 2019 (Continued)

 

The amount of the loan due within one year comprises £16,578,210 (31 December 2019 - £16,792,230) of interest and £29,325,200 (31 December 2019 - £29,325,200) of capital.

 

The A7, B3 and C2 tranches of the intercompany loan are carried at fair value.  The A1, A3, B and D2 tranches are carried at amortised cost.  The total fair value of the loans to fellow subsidiary undertakings at 30 June 2020 was £1,986,701,158 (31 December 2019 - £1,988,296,841), calculated by reference to the fair values of the company's financial liabilities.  In the event that the company were to realise the fair value of the securitised debt and the derivative financial instruments, it would have the right to recoup its losses as a repayment premium on its loans to CW Lending II Limited.  As such, the fair value of the loans to group undertakings is calculated to be the sum of the fair value of the securitised debt and the fair value of the derivative financial instruments.  The carrying value of financial assets represents the company's maximum exposure to credit risk.

The company's securitised debt was issued in tranches, with notes of classes A1, A3, A7, B, B3, C2 and D2 remaining outstanding.  The class A1, A3 and B notes were issued at a premium which is being amortised to the income statement on a straight line basis over the life of the relevant notes.  At 30 June 2020 £14,771,993 (31 December 2019 - £15,667,363) remained unamortised.

 

At 30 June 2020, there were accrued financing costs of £17,965,025 (31 December 2019 - £18,578,262) relating to increases in margins as described below.

 

The notes are secured on 6 properties at Canary Wharf, owned by fellow subsidiary undertakings, and the rental income stream therefrom.

 

The securitised debt has a face value on 30 June 2020 of £1,428,849,920 (31 December 2019 - £1,443,512,520), of which £764,288,920 (31 December 2019 - £778,951,520) carries fixed rates of interest between 5.95% and 6.8%.  The other £664,561,000 (31 December 2019 - £664,561,000) of the securitised debt carries floating rates of interest at LIBOR plus a margin.  The company uses interest rate swaps to hedge exposure to the variability in cash flows on floating rate debt caused by movements in market rates of interest.  The hedged rates of the floating notes, including the margins, are between 5.30% and 6.74%.

 

The floating rate notes are carried at fair value through profit or loss.  The fixed rate notes are carried at amortised cost.  The total fair value of the securitised debt at 30 June 2020 was £1,578,538,792 (31 December 2019 - £1,639,201,552).  The fair values of the sterling denominated notes have been determined by reference to prices available on the market on which they are traded. 

 

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT

for the 6 months ended 30 June 2019 (Continued)

 

At 30 June 2020, the fair value of the interest rate derivatives resulted in the recognition of a liability of £408,162,366 (31 December 2019 - £349,095,289).  The fair values of the derivative financial instruments have been determined by reference to the market values provided by a third party valuer. 

 

The securitisation continues to have the benefit of an arrangement with AIG which covers the rent in the event of a default by the tenant of 33 Canada Square over the entire term of the lease.  At 30 June 2020, AIG had posted £128,993,887 as cash collateral in respect of this obligation.

 

The company also has the benefit of a £300 million liquidity facility provided by Lloyds Bank plc, under which drawings may be made in the event of a cash flow shortage under the securitisation.

 

8.        CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS

 

As at 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2019, the company had given security over all its assets, including security expressed as a first fixed charge over its bank accounts, to secure the notes referred to in Note 7.

 

9.        PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT

 

In previous years the company has noted within its Strategic Report a mismatch in the accounting treatment applied to its financial instruments, whereby derivatives were measured at fair value with securitised debt and intercompany loans measured at amortised cost.

 

FRS 102 allows financial instruments to be measured in accordance with IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments.  Following the adoption of IFRS 9 in the EU, the company has, on 1 July 2019, changed its accounting policy for financial instruments to that of the measurement criteria of IFRS 9.

 

The interest swaps, associated floating rate securitised debt and associated tranches of the loan to a fellow subsidiary undertaking have been designated as Fair Value through Profit or Loss ('FVTPL'), eliminating the accounting mismatch and providing more reliable and relevant information.

 

The fixed rate securitised debt and the associated tranches of the loan to a fellow subsidiary undertaking continue to be carried at amortised cost as this does not cause an accounting mismatch.  IFRS 9 does not permit a designation as FVTPL under these circumstances.

 

Prior to 1 July 2019, financial instruments were carried under the measurement criteria of IAS 39.  The A7 and D2 derivative financial instruments were carried at FVTPL.  The B3 and C2 derivatives financial instruments were designated as effective hedges of the corresponding notes and carried at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income.  All other financial instruments were carried at amortised cost.  The hedging relationships were terminated on 1 July 2019 with the adoption of fair value accounting for the floating rate securitised debt.  The balance in the hedging reserve will be amortised to the income statement over the remaining life of the corresponding notes.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT

for the 6 months ended 30 June 2019 (Continued)

 

Under the previous accounting policy, the fair value adjustment resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset.  Under the new accounting policy, the deferred tax on the fair value movements nets to nil.
