l Equity Research l Singapore l Real Estate Investment Trusts 12 November 2014 Fortune REIT High rental reversion rate continues Fortune REIT reported strong 3Q14 results. 3Q14 DPU was OUTPERFORM (unchanged) HKD 0.1030, up 24.4% YoY, mainly driven by robust PRICE as of 11 Nov 2014 PRICE TARGET reversion (24.6% YTD) in its existing portfolio. HKD 7.25 HKD 7.62 We continue to like Fortune’s exposure to suburban malls for the segment’s defensiveness, non-discretionary focus, rental growth from a low base and continuous AEI. Its occupancy rate dropped to 97.1% due to fractional vacancy from AEIs at Belverdere, which commenced in September. Excluding this, the occupancy rate of the rest of the portfolio was high at 99.1%. UP/DOWNSIDE +5.1% Bloomberg code Reuters code FRT SP FORT.SI Market cap 12-month range HKD 13,503mn (USD 1,741mn) HKD 5.60 - 7.53 EPU adj. est. change 2014E - 2015E - Maintain Outperform. Including a 5.9% 2015E dividend yield, our price target implies potential return of 11%. An encouraging set of 3Q14 results. Fortune reported 3Q14 DPU of HKD 0.1030, up 24.4% YoY. NPI rose 33% YoY to HKD 287mn. Average passing rent was up 8.5% YoY to HKD 35.7psf. Reversion rose to 24.6% YTD from 21.2% in 1H14. Excluding Kingswood, the rental reversion rate was close to 20% and for Kingswood alone, it was above 30%, management said. Higher cost-to-revenue ratio in 3Q14. The cost-to-revenue ratio was 29.1% in 3Q14 (1H14: 26.3%). Management attributed this to seasonality from higher utility expenses in the summer, and higher leasing commission fees for more leasing activity. We expect the cost-to-revenue ratio to fall in 4Q14, as only 13.1% of GFA will be renewed in 4Q14 vs. 16.7% in 3Q14. Management expects the cost-to-revenue ratio to remain at 26-28% for the full year. Slight drop in NAV due to seasonality. NAV per unit dropped 0.18% to HKD 10.99 in 3Q14 from HKD 11.01 in 1H14, while valuation remains unchanged. This is mainly due to a decline in cash after paying dividends in August. As seen in Figure 5, this decline in NAV is the lowest in the past 10 years. Kingswood continues to shine. After the acquisition of Kingswood, Fortune’s passing rent rose 10%, without any AEI. Management said it is conducting a feasibility study on the mall and may undergo AEI, likely in 2015-16; we are confident about its rental growth potential, as its spot rent is 30% below the neighbouring mall owned by Link REIT. This should bode well for Fortune’s rental reversion in the coming two years. Reiterate Outperform.
