Operating Income available to distribute comprises loan
income recognised in the period less operating costs incurred. It
includes realised foreign exchange gains and losses that are
available to distribute except where the realised gains and losses
relate to the settlement of hedges that were previously rolled
forward and the gain or loss on that roll forward was classified as
unavailable to distribute (see note 5
below).
(5)
On occasion, the Group may realise a gain or loss on the roll
forward of a hedge if it becomes necessary to extend a capital
hedge beyond the initial anticipated loan term. If this situation
arises the Group will separate the realised FX gain or loss from
other realised FX gains or losses and not consider it available to
distribute or as a reduction in distributable profits. The FX gain
or loss will only be transferred to distributable income when the
rolled hedge matures or is settled due to the loan repayment, and
the final net gain or loss on the capital hedges over the life of
the loan can be determined.
(6)
Unrealised foreign exchange gain/losses relate to the net
impact of changes in the valuation of foreign exchange hedges and
the sterling equivalent value of Euro loan investments (using the
applicable month end rate). Mismatches between the hedge valuations
and the loan investments may occur depending on the shape of the
forward FX curve and this causes some movement in the NAV. These
unrealised FX gains / losses are not considered part of
distributable reserves.
All figures herein are published based on current
information, estimates and judgements.
