  • The acquisition is accretive at the distribution level, with the annualised pro forma financial effect on Cache’s DPU for FY2011 expected to be an additional 0.03 cents per unit after applicable taxes in China, and offers the potential for future capital appreciation. 
  • The transaction also allows investors to gain exposure to a segment of the market which they may not be able to do so efficiently.

Saizen Reit Divests Alpha Shinonome and Rise Gofuku

Saizen Reit Divests Alpha Shinonome and Rise Gofuku:
Key Points
  • The manager Saizen REIT wishes to announce the divestments of Alpha Shinonome and Rise Gofuku from the property portfolio of Yugen Kaisha (“YK”) Shintoku.
  • YK Shintoku has, on 31 May 2011, entered into a sale and purchase agreement for the divestment of Alpha Shinonome (“ASN”) to an independent private investor (the “ASN Buyer”) for a cash consideration of JPY 74,402,500 (S$1.1 million 1 ) (the “ASN Sale Price”). The divestment of ASN was completed on the same day upon the payment of the full amount of the ASN Sale Price by the ASN Buyer.
  • ASN, located in Hiroshima, was built in December 1984 and comprises 27 residential units. It contributed about 0.2% (or approximately JPY 9.5 million) of Saizen REIT’s annual revenue in the financial year ended 30 June 2010 (“FY2010”).
  • YK Shintoku has, on 31 May 2011, entered into a sale and purchase agreement for the divestment of Rise Gofuku (“RG”) to an independent private investor (the “RG Buyer”) for a cash consideration of JPY 234,780,942 (S$3.6 million) (the “RG Sale Price”).

  • RG, located in Kumamoto, was built in April 2006 and comprises 34 residential units, 1 commercial unit and 2 car parking units. It contributed about 0.6% (or approximately JPY 26.3 million) of Saizen REIT’s annual revenue in the FY2010.
  • Given the small sizes of ASN and RG relative to the entire portfolio of Saizen REIT, the Current Divestments are not expected to have any material impact on the financial position of Saizen REIT.

Perennial China Retail Trust plans to raise S$776.2m from IPO

Perennial China Retail Trust plans to raise S$776.2m from IPO - Channel NewsAsia

Key Points
  • Perennial China Retail Trust (PCRT) to raise S$776.2m in IPO.
  • Units are priced at S$0.70 each.
  • The business trust will develop retail space in China.
  • Initial S$1.1 billion property portfolio of five properties in Shenyang, Foshan and Chengdu. 
  • Acquisition of around S$3.0 billion worth of assets in the pipeline.  
  • Projected annualised dividend yield of 5.30% for 2011 and 5.51% for 2012.
  • PRCT is expected to commence trading on the SGX on 9 June. 
Author's Note
The business trust was supposed to list in March but has withdrawn the plan due to adverse market conditions. For this IPO, the unit price is set at the lowest end of the indicative price range from S$0.70 to S$0.76 due to "market volatility" in recent weeks. 

PRCT is a property based business trust like Ascendas India Trust. While PRCT is focused on retail properties in China, Ascendas India Trust is focused on industrial properties in India. A business trust has some fundamental differences from a Reit. For more details, you may read an earlier article I have written about the subject matter - All about REIT - REIT, Business Trust, and Shipping Trust.

Some things to consider with regards to this IPO:
  • The projected yield of 5.3% for 2011 is not that attractive if we compare it to the most of the S-Reits and other business trust. Capita Retail China Trust, a reit that is also focused in the retail sector of China, currently yields about 6.9%, while Ascendas India Trust, another property business trust, currently yields about 6.7%.
  • The recent IPO performances of Hutchison Port Holdings Trust (HPH Trust) and Mapletree Commercial Trust have been disappointing, with the share price falling below IPO price since their listings.
  • Mr Market is currently not in a very good mood due to the Greek debt crisis, the end of QE2, etc.
  • There has been extensive cooling measures being taken in China to tackle inflation and cool the property market. China related property stocks have generally not performed too well, example being Capitaland, which has recently hit its 52 weeks low in share price.
  • In terms of management it should be in very good hands as the CEO of PCRT, Mr Pua Seck Guan, was formerly the chief executive of the CapitaMall Trust and also the Capitaland retail chief.

Mapletreelog achieves significant milestone in South Korea

Mapletreelog achieves significant milestone in South Korea:
Key Points
  • Mapletree Logistics Trust Management Ltd. (“MLTM”), as Manager of Mapletree Logistics Trust (“MapletreeLog”), has today signed a Conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement with Korea Port Processing Co. Ltd (“KPPC”) for the acquisition of KPPC Pyeongtaek Centre in Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (the “Property”). The Property will be acquired at a purchase price of KRW 75.6 billion (approximately S$85.9 million).
  • Comprising two blocks of dry goods warehouses with a total gross floor area of about 100,900 sqm, the Property is one of the largest facilities in the Gyeonggi-do province. There is also potential for organic growth as it has yet to maximise its permissible plot ratio, which will yield an additional  gross floor area of close to 20,000 sqm. This can be tapped upon to meet additional requirements in the future.
  • The Property provides an initial net property income yield of 8.6%. The vendor, KPPC, will lease the entire property for a period of 5 years with an annual rental escalation of 3.0%.
  • The acquisition is expected to be completed by 3Q 2011. 
  • Upon its completion, MapletreeLog’s portfolio will increase to 98 properties and the book value of the total portfolio would be approximately S$3.7 billion. 
  • Given the sizeable acquisition, the contribution of South Korea to the total portfolio’s gross revenue is expected to increase from 2.7% to 5.6%. Consequently, KPPC will be the first Korean customer in MapletreeLog’s list of top ten customers; thus further diversifying its customer base.
  • MapletreeLog has sufficient financial flexibility and capacity to fund the acquisition. Assuming that the purchase price and other acquisition costs of the Property are fully funded by debt, MapletreeLog’s gearing level will increase to about 41% (after taking into account all acquisitions and divestments announced to date).

Saizen Reit Q1 2011 Quarterly Earnings Report

Saizen Reit Q1 2011 Quarterly Earnings Report:
Key Points
  • Revenue and income decreased year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter for the third quarter ended 31 March 2011 (“3Q FY2011”), due mainly to the sale of 18 properties between September 2010 and March 2011, of which six properties were sold in 3Q FY2011.
  • The average occupancy rate was 91.0% in 3Q FY2011, as compared to 91.8% in the third quarter ended 31 March 2010 (“3Q FY2010”) and 90.8% in the previous quarter ended 31 December 2010 (“2Q FY2011”). Overall rental reversion of new contracts entered into in 3Q FY2011 was marginally lower by about 3.6% (3Q FY2010 and 2Q FY2011: lower by about 4.7% and 3.2% respectively) from previous contracted rates.
  • Loan of YK Shintoku to be fully repaid by end of May 2011. YK Shintoku and YK Shingen divested three properties each in 3Q FY2011, at a weighted average discount of about 2% to valuation.

Partial loan repayment using sale proceeds as well as principal repayments made from YK Shintoku’s operations cash flow in 3Q FY2011 had reduced the loan balance of YK Shintoku to JPY 4.8 billion (S$73.1 million) as at the end of March 2011. YK Shintoku has commenced a repayment planwhich will enable its loan to be fully repaid by the end of May 2011.

  • 1Q2011 DPU of 1.001 cents is 16.1% less than the DPU for 4Q2010. This is largely attributable to the distribution being diluted as a result of the recent Rights Issue.

    • Upgrading of 30 Toh Guan Road to improve the building façade and technical capabilities to enhance the quality of the property.
    • Renegotiation of several leases which resulted in the smoothing out of CIT’s lease expiry profile, reducing the combined lease expiry concentration in 2013/2014 from 54.6% (by income) as at 31 December 2010 to 53.4% (by income) as at 31 March 2011.
