Author's Opinion

The performance is similar to the previous quarter. In terms of debt, there is a 1.7% maturity this year from uncommitted revolving credit facilities drawn and 12.6% maturing in 2024. Coupled with the moderate fixed rate debt at 76%, the near-term impact of further interest rate increases should be minimal. 

From the slides for Decoding KORE's Strategy to Navigate the Volatile US Market (Hosted by REITAS) dated 19th Oct, the portfolio valuation would need to fall by approx. 23% to reach the 50% gearing limit. The interest coverage ratio of 3.3 is also well above the loan covenant’s minimum of 1.5.
