UPDC’s Revenue to Loss Before Tax Bridge – H1 2019 (in ₦ mn)

Commentary

• Since 2016, UPDC has generated losses on account of its heavy debt burden

• Over the years, UPDC sold assets to meet obligations; however, given the quantum of debt, external injection of capital is required to materially reduce leverage

• UPDC historically relied on commercial paper (CPs) issuance to meet its obligations, with total CPs outstanding increasing from ₦10.4bn in 2014 to ₦14.3bn by 2018

• In 2018, UPDC took mark-to-market adjustments on its portfolio and recorded losses on asset sales, which led to ₦8.9bn in non-cash

expenses

The UAC Unbundling aims to streamline UAC’s corporate structure and ensure focus on its core

sectors. Envisaged benefits of the unbundling include

• Deconsolidation of a business (i.e. UPDC) that has a different cashflow profile and capital needs

from the rest of UAC’s portfolio

• Increased management focus on the rest of UAC’s portfolio

• In addition to owning shares in UAC, UAC Shareholders will also own shares in UPDC and units in

the REIT, providing shareholders with investing flexibility

• By virtue of their ownership of UPDC REIT units, each shareholder of UAC will have a direct

exposure to the REIT which has paid dividends in every year since its establishment

• Positions UPDC to thrive as a standalone entity targeting appropriately structured capital and

pursuing growth initiatives

• Strengthened management teams at UPDC and UPDC Hotels Limited (our Hospitality Asset)

• Reduced operating cost

• Improve cash management

• Efforts are ongoing to further strengthen UPDC’s governance and management

1. Repositioning the portfolio: continue to harvest capital from low yielding projects (c. ₦4bn year-to-date).

Liquidity will be utilised to redeem the corporate bond and invest for growth

2. Improve Hotel Performance: historical stance has been to sell the hotel with limited focus on interim

ongoing performance. Focus is on getting the hotel to profitability

3. Invest in yielding assets: currently exploring developments with initial cash on cash yield of >10%. UPDC

will focus on assets with guaranteed offtake/attractive initial yields

Strategic focus of UPDC Hotels Limited 24

• UPDC’s historical stance was to sell the hotel with limited focus on short-term

ongoing performance. Our strategic focus is now to return the hotel to

profitability

• The critical pieces to the future performance of the hotel are

• addressing energy costs (c.40% of revenue)

• improving occupancy

• Energy costs have been a major drag on performance. Adopting energy

efficiency initiatives will lead to improvements in profitability

• Initiatives to drive occupancy include

• Increased marketing efforts with a focus on the conferencing segment

and corporates in its immediate proximity

• Exploring alternative access to the hotel via waterways

Strategic plansOverview

• UPDC Hotels Limited, a subsidiary of UPDC Plc (95%

stake), owns the Festac 77 Hotels, also known as

Golden Tulip Hotels, a 471 room hotel with 9

conference rooms and a banquet hall

Conclusion

Page 26: UAC of Nigeria Plc & UACN Property Development Company Plc … UPDC … · • UAC’s exposure to UPDC was ₦10.8bn as at Dec 2018, with a further ₦4.5bn in potential exposure

Conclusion 26

• UAC has explored options to address the variance between UPDC’s profitability and cash flow profile relative to other entities within the

group

• UPDC has struggled of recent with high levels of leverage resulting in losses since 2016

• Investors in the UPDC REIT have had limited liquidity; UPDC REIT dividends that could have flowed to UPDC shareholders have been

absorbed by UPDC

• The recently announced strategic initiatives are aimed at resolving the challenges identified above and position UAC, UPDC, and UPDC

REIT to maximize stakeholder value

• We believe that the initiatives will

• Simplify UAC Group structure and increase management focus on the consumer facing portfolio

• Recapitalise UPDC, positioning the company for growth, with flexibility to target appropriate structured and tenured capital

• Provide liquidity in the UPDC REIT and allow for dividends to flow directly to UPDC shareholders

• The outlook for UPDC is a business with significantly improved capital structure that is positioned for growth

• Critically we have and continue to take steps to strengthen management and governance at UPDC and UPDC Hotels
