RE:RE:Hmmm..
RE:RE:Hmmm..what covenant is connected to the interest coverage ratio for artis? i can see it for the investment grade credit rating as they are out of line on that. but does it matter if they are liquidating asset and just killing debt? they had no trouble rolling it over into YE on credit facility side - obviously keeping max flexibility when it comes to dispositions.
i would assume these metrics could improve as artis killed $350 million of floating rate debt in 2023 and rates are expected to fall in 2H 2024 which will be a tailwind for variable exposure. also the ability to lock in mortgages on encumbered assets could help in that regard. assume they aren't doing it now as they expect rates to fall and want to keep max flexibility for continued asset sales. thoughts?
