SLB DEVELOPMENT LTD. (SGX:1J0)
SLB Development - Building Recurring Income From Real Estate
Strong home sales in 2021 lifted 1H22 earnings by 117% to S$12m.
- All 3 residential projects of SLB Development (SGX:1J0) (20%-owned Riverfront Residences, 20%-owned Affinity @ Serangoon and 42%-owned REZI 24) are fully sold before the cooling measures were imposed on 16 Dec 2021.
- SLB Development's 51%-owned industrial project INSPACE contributed positive gain of ~S$2.3m. It also booked S$1.8m rental income from freehold industrial property Thye Hong Centre, which was acquired for S$112.5m, or S$550/sf ppr. Annual rental is expected rise to about S$5m (cap rate 4.4%) after asset enhancement initiative (AEI) that drove a 30% rental uplift.
- SLB Development's other projects on hand include
- a 10%-stake in the en-bloc acquisition of Peace Centre for S$650m or about S$1,385/sf ppr, to be re-developed into a 60:40 commercial/residential development; and
- a 9-10% stake in Gaobeidian, a mixed-use development project spanning 5.3m sqm land in Hebei Province.
Building recurring income.
- SLB Development is building recurring 17 shophouses in Jalan Sultan for S$74.8m to be converted into co-living space. Weave Living will take a significant majority stake.
Strengthening its balance sheet.
- SLB Development's net debt as at end Nov 21 was S$107m, or net gearing of 57.8%.
- We expect substantial cash inflow of S$190m in 2022/2023 from the residential projects and INSPACE, as these reached TOP. About S$35m might be deployed as equity at the Peace Centre project.
Valuation.
- SLB Development trades at 40% discount to book. The discount should narrow when fee income and carry interest become a significant and stable income stream.
