Write a comment..-REITs - Conveying Positives on the Proposals Author: kltrader | Publish date: Tue, 23 Aug 2016, 11:06 AM
Highlights We attended a panel discussion by the prominent REIT managers organized by Malaysian REIT Managers Association (MRMA) yesterday pertaining to the proposed revision of REITs guidelines with the following key takeaways. Long Term Positive. The panellists are positive on the proposed greenfield development as it enables them to grow the DPU in the longer term within maturing REITs space and assure that there will be no short term DPU dilution as all the development costs (inclusive of financing charges) will be geared and capitalized. Development Risks Mi tigated. They are confident that the associated risks will be well-mitigated given their management expertise and proven track records as well as via checks and balances within the proposals such as 15% threshold for development, 50% capping on gearing limit, 2 years holding period post development and stricter disclosures requirements. Private Leases. Allowing private lease arrangement would provide more flexibility and open up more investment opportunities such as possibility of acquiring interest in Malay Reserve Land. On the flip-side, it increases the risk to the REIT in the event of contractual or ownership dispute. Possible M&A activities? The provision of allowing the change of REIT manager by way of a resolution passed by a simple majority of unitholders voting at a general meeting may help to keep REIT manager on their toes but it also opens up possible M&A activities. Property Management and Internal Management provisions allow REIT to further diversify their income by acquiring interest in the REIT managers as well as property management companies that manage the assets owned by the REITs and managed by same REIT managers with possible downside on potential conflict of interest. Catalysts Potential acquisition of quality assets to achieve growth as softer property outlook presents such opportunity. Further improvement in sentiments and higher retail spending. Venturing into potential high yielding development activities. Regulatory intervention in limiting the supply for office/mall. Risks (1) Prolonged erosion in consumer sentiment; (2) Failure to execute the planned asset injections and strategy; (3) Significant slowdown in broad economic activities. Ratings OVERWEIGHT Maintain OVERWEIGHT with limited downside risk given the accommodative monetary conditions, sustainable and attractive yield amid low global yield environment. Top Picks Maintain BUY on MQREIT (TP: RM1.34) given its high dividend and sustainable yield of ~7%. Maintain BUY on PREIT (TP: RM1.95) banking on its income growth in FY17 post acquisitions and major reversion with DPU yield of 5.5% at current price. Maintain BUY on KLCCSS (TP: RM8.35) given its projected DPU yield of 5.1% (vs targeted yield of 4.6%); stable asset and premier assets location.

MRCB-Quill REIT (BUY) - 9MFY16 Results: Steady as it grows Author: kltrader | Publish date: Thu, 27 Oct 2016, 09:22 AM
Results Reported 9MFY16 gross revenue of RM97.7m (+18.3% yoy), which translated to normalised net profit of RM45.8m (+23.7% yoy), accounting for 77.8% and 78.8% of HLIB and consensus FY forecasts, respectively. Deviations Lower than expected property operating expenses. Dividends None as it is usually declared on a semi-annual basis. Highlights Yoy, higher revenue (+2.2%) recorded due to additional revenue from Platinum Sentral and higher rental income from step-up rent adjustment of some properties. Excluding one off gain from divestment of Quill Building 10 last year, net profit recorded a marginal increase of 0.6% given higher expenses incurred. Qoq, lower revenue (-0.2%) was recorded due to lower rental income from QB8 while operating expenses were marginally higher, resulting net income contracted by 1%. YTD, revenue grew (+18.3%) due to additional income from Platinum Sentral and step-up rent adjustments. Growth in bottom-line was higher (+23.7%) as operating expenses were well managed. Overall occupancy rate was healthy at 97.2%. In terms of renewals, 64% of lease expiry in FY16 (7% of total NLA) has been renewed with only 8% not renewed. Despite the lacklustre office market, MQREIT’s office space is relatively stable and well-guarded from its long WALE (>5 years) with well-spread NLA expiry (13% and 26% expiring in FY17 and FY18, respectively). Once the acquisition of Menara Shell is concluded, asset size will grow to circa. RM2.27bn, which allows management to achieve greater scale in asset management. The potential yield accretive asset injection is expected to complete by end of year and will be funded via placement exercises with equity/debt ratio of circa 65/35. Risks High gearing compare to industry average. Slower rental reversion rate for office market. Forecasts We lower our property operating expenses assumption for FY16, resulting in higher PAT by 1.9% and higher DPU at 8.5 sen while leaving FY17 & 18 numbers unchanged. Rating BUY ↔, TP: RM1.34 ↔
We continue to like MQREIT given its high dividend yield, stable assets in prime location of KL Sentral with high occupancy rate and healthy WALE profile. Inclusive of Menara Shell, its portfolio assets have increased to RM2.2bn (from current RM1.6bn) and would then graduate into bigger cap space. Valuation Maintain BUY recommendation with unchanged TP of RM1.34 based on targeted yield of 6.5% (2SD below 1 year historical average yield spread of MRCB -Quill REIT and 10- year government bond).

MAYBANK: Maintain BUY 3Q16 results were in line whereby the higher YoY revenue was offset by higher non-operating expenses. We nudge up FY16-18 net profit forecasts by 0.6-1.9% as we adjust our key assumptions, but our MYR1.35 DDM-TP is intact. We continue to like MQREIT for its resilient earnings and sustained distributions which are backed by long-term office tenants. https://factsetpdf.maybank-ke.com/PDF/37473_CN__9fc5057a09b54344b5a2a871eb7d42a9.pdf
The proposed placement exercise has an overly diluting effect on the shareholding of minority unit holders. It would be appropriate for the Co to also include a restricted offer for the existing unit holders. This practice was adhered to in one Singapore REIT in its recent placements to raise funds for its asset acquisition.
