NAV - or Net Asset Value - is a calculation that provides investors with a view into how the unit price of the property may perform over time based on fundamentals. NAV per Unit can be used to determine the value per share (“Unit”) compared to the current market price and help investors forecast future value.

NAV per Unit is determined using four key variables: valuation, principal balance of existing debt, interest in the operating company, and the total number of shares outstanding.

On May 18, 2022, TESLU filed an SEC 1-U to announce the status of its recent public offering, its assessment of NAV per Unit, and its expected distribution for the fiscal second quarter ending June 30, 2022. Let’s use this filing to better understand the concept of NAV.

‍Estimated Valuation & Corresponding Net Asset Value (NAV) for 286 Lenox Ave‍

286 Lenox Ave was valued by management at $11.3 Million at the time of the IPO. This valuation was determined using an independent third-party appraisal of the property, as well as a valuation analysis based on market conditions and comparable sales.

Let’s say we want to find the NAV per Unit as of the end of Q1 2022.

NAV per Unit is calculated by taking this valuation, less the outstanding principal balance of the property’s existing indebtedness, multiplied by the interest in the operating company, and then divided by the total number of Units outstanding as of March 31, 2022, the last day of the quarter.

‍Here’s the back of the napkin math:

‍$11,300,000 (Valuation of the property) 

Less (-) $6,754,724 (outstanding debt principal as of March 31, 2022)

NAV = $4,545,276 

Multiplied (X) by 40.65% (the Interest in the operating company) 

Divided (/) by 7,134 (the total number of outstanding units at the quarter-end)  

NAV per Unit = $258.99

‍‍NAV per Unit over time

‍As the operating company continues to meet its loan payment obligations, the outstanding principal balance of the debt will decrease, and the NAV per Unit will correspondingly increase, assuming no change in valuation.
