AIMS AMP (AAREIT SP) - Downside priced in 

The downsides are reasonably in the price 

• We fully factor in the downside risk of 20 Gulway’s possible non-renewal by master tenant CWT, and assume it fully converts to a 90% occupied multi-tenanted property. 
• We factor in 1% extra vacancies in the rest of the multi-tenanted portfolio to hedge weak demand/strong supply conditions. 
• Even still, our DPUs are only docked 1-2.8%. 
• Applying our yield target of 7.5% raises our TP to SGD1.47 from 1.45 for a 10% capital upside, upgrade to BUY. 

Factoring in the downsides 

• 20 Gulway, AAREIT’s largest and most advanced warehouse property is currently master tenanted with CWT in phases: 20% of the property is contracted till Dec 2016, 42% till 2017, and 38% till 2019. 
• We assume that 
  1. the property will be progressively converted to multi-tenanted as the master leases expire, 
  2. occupancy of the property will be at c.90% from the 100% as a master lease, and 
  3. underlying rents would be renewed closer to market rents of c.SGD1.36 vs. the current c.SGD1.18. 
• In addition we take the view that challenging leasing conditions will continue in 2016-17 due to a weak economy and strong supply, and further dock our multi-tenanted occupancy assumptions by 1% over FY3/17-18 to 90.1%. The result is that FY3/17-18 DPU is cut 1.3/2.8% to 11.1/11.5 Scts. 

Redevelopment potential 

• Portfolio has inherent untapped GFA of 801k sf, which if fully redeveloped can increase NLA by > 8%. 
• Property yields based on development costs are often in the high single digits. We price in this development potential by tightening our yield target by 25bp to 7.5%. 

Compelling relative value 

• AAREIT trades at 605bp above the 10yr SGS yield, close to the cycle mean of 629bp. 
• In comparison, SREITs are now trading at 439bp above the 10yr, which is close to 413bp, -1SD below the mean. 
• We believe AAREIT represents better relative value compared to the sector, especially with downside risks reasonably factored in.
