JFrog stock rises as Cantor Fitzgerald maintains Overweight rating after strong Q2
MADRID - abrdn European Logistics Income plc has completed the sale of nine logistics assets in Gavilanes, Madrid for a net consideration of approximately €146 million, the company announced Thursday.
The transaction, structured as a corporate disposal involving the sale of Spanish subsidiaries holding the property assets, is part of the company’s managed wind-down program. The portfolio, comprising 122,000 square meters of lettable area, was sold to what the company described as a leading long-term investor and developer of logistics properties in Europe.
Eight of the nine units were fully let at the time of sale, with one unit of approximately 11,260 square meters remaining vacant. Key tenants include Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Carrefour (EPA:CARR), and several other companies.
The portfolio was valued at €168.6 million as of March 31, 2025. The company noted that by executing the disposal through a share sale, it avoided crystallizing associated latent capital gains tax liability that would have been incurred through individual asset sales.
This transaction marks significant progress in the company’s managed wind-down, with 16 of its 27 assets now sold, generating aggregate gross sales proceeds exceeding €293 million. Of the 11 remaining assets, one disposal is expected to complete shortly, with three more anticipated to conclude in Q4 2025.
Following recent sales, the company’s outstanding fixed rate debt has reduced from €218 million to €99.5 million, with an all-in interest rate of 1.4%.
The company plans to make an additional capital distribution in September 2025 reflecting the net proceeds from the Madrid portfolio sale and another anticipated disposal. This follows a previously announced return of approximately £49.5 million to shareholders, payable on August 13, 2025.
The information is based on a press release statement from the company.
