Bull points
- We are happy to report that within a few weeks of our Q2 earnings conference call, we took decisive strategic actions designated to enhance long-term shareholder value and narrow the gap between our net asset value or NAB of $725 per share and our share price.
- Since implementation, we have drawn $7.8 million to redeem preferred shares. We have made good headway and now have $23.7 million of preferred shares remaining, down from $39.5 million at the start of the year.
- To date, we have repurchased about 250,000 shares at an average price of $3.16 per share. Together, these actions highlight both our positive outlook and our efforts to achieve a share price that is more in line with the value of our asset portfolio.
Bear points
- Total debt outstanding was $203.3 million, up from $192.9 million at the end of 2023, reflecting cash used for the strategic shareholder actions I mentioned earlier.
- 2024, we've seen sort of a reversion to that norm. And we would expect now we would sort of be back on that pace of single digit top line growth in our transient revenue.
