Working Capital, Treasury & Cash Management
The working capital, treasury and cash management underpinning Urbanova.
- Treasury policy: minimum cash floor of R150m plus next six
months’ committed equity contribution to construction; surplus swept to
call accounts with the two facility banks. - Working capital allocation of R650m within the raise covers the
FY2027–FY2028 operating deficit, deposits float regulation (separate
trust accounts per the Rental Housing Act) and VAT timing on
construction. - VAT: developments are largely exempt residential supplies, input
VAT on construction is a true cost embedded in the R470k unit cost,
while the sales programme recovers inputs; the model treats this
conservatively by embedding VAT in capex. - Interest-rate policy: minimum 70% of drawn senior debt fixed or
hedged for ≥5 years; the 10.25% model rate is a fixed-equivalent, so
hedging cost is already in the numbers. - Counterparty policy: no more than 60% of cash with a single bank;
both facility banks must be SA D-SIBs. - Distribution policy: nil until DSCR ≥ 1.35x on two consecutive
test dates (per the term sheet in Section 16C); thereafter 40–60% of
distributable income, balance retained for Phase 3.
