Higher TP on RNAV Uplift
- Results humdrum. Improved EPS on higher rents. Growing commercial exposure.
- Raise RNAV by 12% for higher capital value for London office assets and GBP strength. Partially offset by weaker AUD. Market price implies zero value to its Sentosa homes.
- Maintain BUY with higher SGD3.05 TP, still at 35% discount to RNAV of SGD4.71.
Results humdrum; improved EPS on higher rents
- 2Q15 net income of SGD16.7m (+36.9% YoY), broadly inline.
- Higher rental contribution from its commercial assets was the key highlight for the quarter.
- Net gearing remained healthy with BVPS unchanged at SGD3.90.
- Over the past month, the company announced the acquisition of two London properties for a total of GBP190m, which brings its total investments to GBP0.5b over the past two years.
- With London office at 30% of its GAV and Singapore office (The Metropolis) another 40%, we believe the company is evolving to be a stable commercial proxy.
Market assigned zero value to its Sentosa homes?
- At current stock price of SGD2.02, we believe the market has assigned zero value to its Sentosa homes.
- Liquidating its portfolio of office assets at our estimated market value of SGD3b to pay offSGD1.1b of debt implies an equity value of SGD1.9b (SGD2.78/shr).
- Even if we mark down another SGD544m for other off-balance sheet liabilities, the implied value of SGD1.3b (SGD1.97/shr) remains not far from the stock price.
Higher TP on 12% uplift to RNAV
- We raise our RNAV by 12% to SGD4.71 (from SGD4.23) to incorporate higher capital values for its London office assets and a stronger GBP. This is partially offset by a weaker AUD.
- With over 70% of GAV from stable income producing assets, we deem the steep 57% RNAV discount excessive.
- Maintain BUY with SGD3.05 TP.
