Impact Healthcare REIT PLC on Wednesday announced positive quarterly performance driven by rising occupancy and fees.

The London-based owner of care homes and other healthcare properties in the UK said net asset value per share rose 4.2% to 117.31 pence at March 31 from 112.60p a year prior.

The dividend target for the full year stands at 6.95p per share, up 2.7% from 6.77p.

Independent valuations concluded the company’s portfolio is now worth £660.8 million up from £542.1 million due to acquisitions and rising property prices.

‘Rent reviews in the quarter, all inflation-linked, raised rents by 4% for those properties. Tenant performance continued to improve driven by continued stable bed occupancy and rising fees,’ the company said.

Furthermore, net initial yield marginally declined to 6.9% from 7.0%.

Impact Healthcare shares were down 0.2% to 88.40 pence each in London on Wednesday noon.
