Axis-REIT to acquire Tesco JB for RM75m

Axis Real Estate Investment Trust (Axis-REIT) proposed to acquire the Tesco JB Hypermarket Complex for a total lump sum cash consideration of RM75.6 million from Bukit Indah (Johor) Sdn Bhd.

The latest acquisition will increase the assets under management to over RM1.2 billion, Axis-REIT said in a filing to Bursa Malaysia today.

Axis-REIT trustee, OSK Trustees Bhd, has entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Bukit Indah Johor for the proposed acquisition.

The proposed acquisition will be funded by existing bank borrowings of Axis-REIT.


 

Axis REIT Managers Bhd, the management company of Axis-REIT, intends to utilise a debt facility of RM75.60 million from Axis-REIT’s existing credit lines.

The proposed debt financing will increase Axis-REIT”s gearing ratio to 39 per cent of audited total assets as at December 31, 2009, which is below the gearing limit of 50 per cent prescribed by the REIT guidelines.

Axis REIT Managers expects the proposed acquisition to contribute positively to the fund’s earnings for the financial year ending December 31, 2010.

The proposed acquisition is expected to be completed on or before October 31, 2010.

The Tesco JB Hypermarket Complex is located within the main commercial precinct of Setia EcoCity in Taman Bukit Indah, a comprehensive mixed development project. — Bernama

AmanahRaya – BT

Buy, target price RM1.16

MAYBANK Investment Research is keeping its “Buy” call on AmanahRaya Real Estate Investment Trust (ARREIT) (5127) for its strong, resilient organic earnings growth and attractive 9.4 per cent 2011 yield.

Its near-term catalysts are yield-accretive acquisitions (expected to be more than 7 per cent yield) and the potential emergence of new shareholders.

“This could raise our 2011-2012 earnings forecasts by 0.1-10 per cent, ARREIT’s shareholder profiles and provide additional funding source for future acquisition,” the research house said.

It maintains its earnings forecasts and discounted cash flow derived target price of RM1.16 per share.
Maybank Investment also noted that ARREIT was said to be close to securing a few assets (retail and office buildings) in the Klang Valley from a government-linked company.

Total value of the assets is estimated to be up to RM300 million and their purchase will be funded through a debt equity mix.

Post-acquisitions, ARREIT’s total asset value will increase by up to 33 per cent to around RM1.2 billion from RM913.3 million currently.

Its management aims to hit RM1.5 billion asset size by June next year.

AmFIRST REIT nets RM25 revenue in Q1

AmFIRST Real Estate Investment Trust (AmFIRST) has registered a revenue of RM25.11 million for its first quarter ended June 30, 2010, up by 6.17 per cent from RM23.65 million in the same quarter last year.

Its net property income rose 15.94 per cent to RM17.66 million from RM15.23 million previously. However, the company’s income after tax declined marginally to RM9.94 million from RM10.58 million previously due to higher interest expense that resulted from the overnight policy rate (OPR) hike and provision for doubtful debt, AmFIRST said in a filing to Bursa Malaysia today.

“Despite a marginal slip in income after tax for the first quarter period, we are pleased to report a positive start to the year with a fair performance of all six AmFIRST’s assets during the three-month period,” said Lim Yoon Peng, chief executive officer of Am ARA REIT Managers Sdn Bhd, the manager of AmFIRST.

During the three-month period under review, the overall occupancy rate of AmFIRST’s property portfolio recorded a slight increase to 82.92 per cent from 82.36 per cent.

Occupancy rates for AmFIRST’s three buildings located within Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle stood well above 95 per cent with two of it, Bangunan AmBank Group and AmBank Group Leadership Centre registered 100 per cent occupancy.

“Our asset management team, together with the appointed property managers are actively promoting the existing vacant space at Menara Merais, Kelana Brem Towers and The Summit Subang USJ,” Lim said.

“Judging from the feedback and enquiries received from potential tenants, we hope to seal a few tenancies within the second quarter period ended September 30, 2010,” he said, adding that a more aggressive leasing effort will be undertaken amid the growing competition and supply of office and retail space.

AmFIRST, which earlier this year completed the refurbishment of Menara Merais, has lined up asset enhancement works on its other properties to make it attractive to potential and existing tenants. — Bernama

Hektar – BT

Buy, fair value price RM1.23

AMRESEARCH Sdn Bhd has maintained a “buy” call on Hektar REIT Bhd’s (5121) due to its future earnings potential which are in line with expectations despite a weak occupancy.

In its research note, AmResearch said Hektar has attractive yield and defensive assets under its portfolio with a fair value of RM1.23 a unit under review pending a meeting with the management.

Hektar reported a net income of RM9 million for second quarter 2010, taking its first half earnings in 2010 to RM19 million.

Net income grew by 7 per cent on the back of 4 per cent increase in rental income. This is mostly driven by stronger occupancy in Mahkota Parade following its asset enhancement exercise.
Similarly, Wetex Parade showed stronger occupancy to 92 per cent, from 90 per cent as at end of last year.

However, Subang Parade’s tenancy dropped to 95 per cent (from 100 per cent) as some of its tenants moved out, most notably Toys R US.

While this is a slight setback to the portfolio, AmResearch said this gives an opportunity for Hektar to redesign its mall concept at certain floors, thus enhancing its mall.

At current price, the REIT is trading at par to its net asset value of RM1.28 per unit and its current yield of 9 per cent remains attractive comparing against 10-year government bonds (4.2 per cent) and fixed deposit of 2.8 per cent,

Hektar REIT Q2 net income up 3.2pc

Hektar Real Estate Investment Trust’s (Hektar REIT) net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010 rose by 3.2 per cent to RM9.1 million, or 2.85 sen per unit.

Its revenue rose by 1.6 per cent to RM22.2 million compared with the preceding year’s quarter.

In a statement today, Hektar Asset Management Sdn Bhd, the manager for Hektar REIT, said the results demonstrated the advantages of diversity within its portfolio.

Its chief executive officer, Datuk Jaafar Abdul Hamid, said the refurbishment and re-launch of Mahkota Parade has been fruitful as occupancy and rental reversions were showing positive signs.

 
“Mahkota Parade’s occupancy has improved to approximately 96.9 per cent and rental reversions saw an average seven per cent increase for the recent quarter,” he said.

Hektar REIT declared a second quarter dividend per unit of 2.50 sen, up 4.2 per cent.

It said based on the closing price of RM1.24 on June 30, this represented an annualised yield of 8.1 per cent. — Bernama
