Financial Plan
The basis of preparation, the projected profit and loss, cash flow and balance sheet, the book-value versus sponsor-fair-value analysis and the key ratios underpinning Urbanova.
13.1 Basis of Preparation
- Sponsor anchors preserved: revenue, EBITDA,
cumulative units and portfolio fair value are exactly as per the sponsor
brief. - Independent re-derivation below EBITDA:
depreciation (buildings and infrastructure 2.5% straight-line on
in-service cost, half-year convention; technology 20% straight-line);
interest (blended 10.25% senior; 11.5% RCF standby); taxation at 27%
with section 20 assessed-loss carry-forward subject to the
80%-of-taxable-income limitation. - Investment property at cost: the balance sheet
carries property at depreciated cost, the lender-conservative
convention. The sponsor’s fair-value trajectory is disclosed separately
(Section 13.5) and drives the exit case only. - Balance sheet integrity: assets less liabilities
less equity is asserted to equal zero in every projection year; the
model fails loudly otherwise.
13.2 Projected Profit and Loss
| Rm | FY2027 | FY2028 | FY2029 | FY2030 | FY2031 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 180 | 520 | 1 150 | 2 400 | 4 100 |
| EBITDA | -45 | 85 | 310 | 780 | 1 450 |
| Depreciation | (12) | (39) | (72) | (111) | (160) |
| EBIT | -57 | 46 | 238 | 669 | 1 290 |
| Net interest expense | (0) | (36) | (128) | (231) | (360) |
| Profit before tax | -57 | 10 | 110 | 438 | 930 |
| Taxation (27%, s20) | – | (1) | (16) | (118) | (251) |
| Net profit after tax | -57 | 9 | 94 | 320 | 679 |
| Assessed loss carried fwd | 57 | 49 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The FY2027 net loss of R57m arises from the sponsor’s negative EBITDA
plus first-year depreciation, before material debt is drawn. The
assessed loss shelters FY2028 almost entirely and part of FY2029 under
the 80% cap; the effective tax rate normalises toward 27% by
FY2030–FY2031. By FY2031 the Company earns R679m after tax, a 16.6% net
margin.
13.3 Projected Cash Flow
| Rm | FY2027 | FY2028 | FY2029 | FY2030 | FY2031 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating cash flow (NPAT + dep.) | -45 | 49 | 165 | 430 | 839 |
| Capital expenditure | (1 250) | (1 405) | (1 488) | (1 625) | (2 083) |
| Equity drawn | 1 500 | 1 100 | 800 | – | – |
| Senior debt drawn | – | 700 | 1 100 | 1 700 | 1 600 |
| Senior principal repaid | – | – | (392) | (392) | (392) |
| Net cash movement | 205 | 444 | 186 | 113 | -36 |
| Closing cash | 205 | 649 | 834 | 947 | 911 |
Working capital movements are modelled as broadly neutral: rental is
collected monthly in advance while development creditors and retention
balances offset construction WIP; the R650m working-capital allocation
within the raise provides the buffer. Closing cash never falls below
R205m and no revolving-facility drawings are required under the base
drawdown schedule, the R8.5bn raise is sufficient for the plan as
modelled, provided drawdowns track the schedule in Section 14.
13.4 Projected Balance Sheet
| Rm | FY2027 | FY2028 | FY2029 | FY2030 | FY2031 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Investment property (cost less dep.) | 1 238 | 2 604 | 4 019 | 5 534 | 7 456 |
| Cash and equivalents | 205 | 649 | 834 | 947 | 911 |
| Total assets | 1 443 | 3 252 | 4 854 | 6 481 | 8 368 |
| Senior debt | 0 | 700 | 1 408 | 2 715 | 3 923 |
| Revolving facility | – | – | – | – | – |

| Retained earnings / (losses) | -57 | -48 | 46 | 366 | 1 044 |
| Total equity | 1 443 | 2 552 | 3 446 | 3 766 | 4 444 |
| Check (A − L − E) | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 |
13.5 Book Value vs Sponsor Fair Value
RISK
FY2031 book value is R 7 456 m against sponsor fair
value of R18,800m, an R11 344m unrealised revaluation.
Roughly 20% of that uplift is supportable from development margin at
stabilisation (Section 5.1); the balance requires the sponsor’s implied
±9.6% exit yield to hold and the sales programme to deliver. Under IFRS
the Company may elect the fair-value model for investment property;
lenders should nonetheless covenant on cost-based LTV and cash-based
DSCR.
13.6 Key Ratios
| Ratio | FY2027 | FY2028 | FY2029 | FY2030 | FY2031 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EBITDA margin | (25.0%) | 16.3% | 27.0% | 32.5% | 35.4% |
| Net margin | -31,7% | 1,8% | 8,1% | 13,3% | 16,6% |
| DSCR (EBITDA / debt service) | n/a | 2,37x | 0,60x | 1,25x | 1,93x |
| Interest cover | n/a | 2,37x | 2,42x | 3,37x | 4,02x |
| Net debt (Rm) | -205 | 51 | 574 | 1 768 | 3 012 |
| Net debt / EBITDA | n/m | 0,6x | 1,9x | 2,3x | 2,1x |
| LTV on book value | 0,0% | 26,9% | 35,0% | 49,1% | 52,6% |
| LTV on sponsor fair value | 0,0% | 20,0% | 19,6% | 21,7% | 20,9% |
Debt service in FY2029 comprises R 128 m interest plus
the first R 392 m principal instalment against EBITDA of
R310m. The breach is a structural timing mismatch , not
a solvency event — closing cash of R834m covers the shortfall four times
over. Structural fixes, in order of lender preference: (i) sculpt
amortisation to the EBITDA ramp (level-DSCR profile ≥1.20x); (ii) extend
grace to three years; (iii) fund a debt-service reserve account of R320m
(six months’ peak service) at close. The plan recommends (i) plus a
R250m DSRA.
