March NAV 104.52p/sh; sale process ongoing

LSE: BSIF | GBp 78.60 | Sector Perform | Price Target GBp 85.00

Sentiment: Neutral

Bluefield Solar has reported its latest NAV at 104.52p/sh as of 31 March, a 3.28p/sh (-3.0%) decline in the quarter (31 December 25:

107.80p/sh). Key movements include the quarterly dividend payment (-2.25p/sh), change in ROC/FiT subsidy inflation indexation

(-1.56p/sh) and below budget generation (-7.1%) due to low solar irradiation (-0.37p/sh). There is no new detail on the ongoing

fund sale process, with the transaction continuing to 'progress in line with expectations'.

We expect a neutral reaction this morning, given the key NAV movement in the quarter (the ROC/FiT indexation impact) was

expected and similar to initial guidance at a c.-2p/sh impact. Meanwhile, investor focus is on the fund sale process where there is

no material update today. We think a lack of material downward revisions to NAV/sh during the sale process this quarter remains

encouraging for potential realisable value, given other renewable funds have previously reduced asset valuations in response to

pricing / demand during specific asset sales processes. Inframation has reported that four bidders (Octopus Energy, I Squared

Capital, Icon Infrastructure, and GLIL) remain involved in the process, with USS dropping out in late April. BSIF currently trades

at a ~25% discount to its newly reported NAV, versus a ~36% average for solar funds, which in our view reflects the probability
