Summary of the Press Release. Click Here for more detail report

Singapore, 26 April 2007

The Board of Directors of Cambridge Industrial Trust Management Ltd. (CITM), the Manager of Cambridge Industrial Trust (CIT), is pleased to announce that 1.434 cents per unit is available for distribution based on distributable income generated during the period from 1 January 2007 to 31 March 2007.

Mr Wilson Ang, Chief Executive Officer of the Manager, said, This has been a busy quarter for us. After refinancing our bridge loan, we went on to complete the acquisition of two new properties, 63 Hillview Avenue (part of) and 55 Ubi Avenue 3 valued at S$91 million which will contribute an annual gross revenue of S$6.35 million to CIT. We have also announced four Option Agreements worth S$58.3 million which upon completion, will contribute an additional annual gross revenue of S$5.71 million. Together with signed MOUs worth S$115 million as at 31 March 2007, we are targeting to acquire approximately S$500 million worth of properties this year.

Stable and Secure Yield

CIT's total net distributable income was S$7.4 million. This represents an annualized yield of 7.09% based on the closing price of S$0.82 per unit on 30 March 2007. All the properties are signed with long leases ranging from 5 to 10 years, with fixed rental escalation. The weighted average remaining lease term of CIT portfolio remained stable at 7.1 years as at 31 March 2007.

Property Portfolio

As at 31 March 2007, CIT has a portfolio of 29 properties with 475,374.1 sq m of lettable area valued at S$622.0 million. The weighted average land lease on these properties is 41 years, excluding freehold property which comprises 7% of total lettable area. Approximately 45% of the portfolio of properties is in the logistics and warehousing sector, with the next significant segment in the light industrial space accounting for 30%; the remaining properties are represented across a well-diversified spectrum of tenant uses such as car showrooms, self-storage facilities as well as industrial and warehousing.

Full Occupancy Backed by Strong Demand

The overall occupancy of CIT s portfolio of 29 properties remained at 100% as at 31 March 2007. 45% of CIT s property portfolio is in the high-growth logistics and warehousing sector, and 30% is in the light industrial space for which demand remains strong and which the management believes is likely to improve for quasi-office usage from the current rental pressure on prime office space in the Central Business District.

Acquisition Pipeline

CIT has signed and announced Option Agreements valued at approximately S$58.3 million. If successfully concluded, the legal completion for the acquisition of these properties is expected in the second to third quarter of 2007. In addition, several Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Agreements were signed for the acquisition of properties with an aggregate value of about S$115 million.

Capital Management

CIT has fixed its interest rate exposure by entering into a 12-month interest rate swap on 65.0% of the outstanding borrowings as of 31 March 2007. The bridging loan facility of S$400 million has been replaced by a Variable Funding Note (VFN) structure of up to S$ 390 million and an overdraft facility of up to S$10 million. As at 31 March 2007, an amount of S$281.7 million is outstanding under the VFN.

Cambridge Industrial Trust (CREIT SP, $0.82) Buy - Defensive with growth

Cambridge Industrial Trust (CIT) stands out as most defensive amongst industrial S-reits. FY07 yield of 7.3% is a significant 90-290bps above its comparable peers and backed by a stable income stream. The low P/book NAV of 1.22x indicates little acquisition upside have been factored into share price despite a visible asset pipeline. Rewarding partnerships with logistics services supplier CWT and Mitsui as well as wide business networks, have and would continue to supply a ready stream of new purchases. Acquisition-led growth coupled with organic expansion should translate to a DPU Cagr of 7-8% over the next 2 years. Amongst industrial S-reits, CIT has the greatest scope to enhance its properties which could boost asset backing and overall yields in the medium term. Our DCF-backed price target of $1.01 translates to a potential absolute return of 30%. Recommend buy.

Industrial and logistics-focussed reit. Cambridge Industrial Trust (CIT), an industrial and logistics-focussed reit has one of the most defensive income profile. Long rental contracts ensure sustainable earnings while higher-than-industry-average security deposits would iron out any rental fluctuations from tenant movements.

Growth via acquisitions. Its objective to expand asset base by $500m pa is within reach. In addition to the $119m worth of new buys, it has the first right of refusal and last look at CWT's assets within the first 3 years of listing. Of the 2.3-2.6msf pipeline, 1.2msf are scheduled to complete this year. Beyond this, CIT can tap from C & P Holdings' assets.

Inbuilt organic engine. It is well placed to leverage on the rising industrial market with inbuilt rental escalation clauses of 5-7% every 2-3 years. An estimated 78% of portfolio space is up for renewal in FY08, translating to a 4% organic increment to DPU.

The RNAV angle. A portion of CIT's assets can be redeveloped to maximize floor area. We reckon rebuilding only those properties with <1x plot ratio to their maximum potential, could raise total GFA by 34% and add 10cts or 15% to asset backing, based on current levels. More importantly, these additions do not incur corresponding land costs and returns from these improvements should further enhance overall portfolio yields. These have not been factored into our present estimates.

Attractive risk-reward ratio. CIT offers value in view of its high yield, low beta and defensive attributes. At low P/book NAV of 1.22x, little acquisition expectation appears to have been built into share price and any newsflow should likely surprise on the upside. At our DCF-based price target of $1.01, assuming increasing asset base by $500m over the next 12 months, yield would still be attractive at 5.9%. Recommend buy.


The first independent industrial Reit Cambridge Industrial Trust (CIT) is a Singapore-centric industrial property trust. Since listing with an initial portfolio of 27 properties, its stable of assets has grown to 31 properties totaling 5.4 msf GFA valued at $650m. In terms of GFA, the 5 largest assets account for 41% of portfolio value and 48% of gross floor area.

Diversified tenant mix and trade sectors. CIT's properties are fully occupied and well diversified amongst various trade sectors such as logistics, warehousing, light industrial and car showroom. This ensures a stable income stream. Its top 5 tenants CWT (including subsidiary Jurong Districentre), YCH, Lam Soon and ODC, contributes 53% of topline.

In addition, 45% of rental revenue comes from tenants which are SGX-listed/affliated tenants. Long lease terms, high income security. CIT has a defensive earnings profile. Revenue stream is highly visible given the long lease tenures, ranging from 5-10 years. Weighted average lease to expiry is at 7.9 years, far superior than the 6.3 and 5.9 years of its listed peers A-reit and Mapletree Logistics Trust respectively. In addition, CIT holds an average 14 months of security deposit from its tenants (or an average of 1.8 months per year), almost twice the industry norm of 1 month per year of lease.

Growth drivers in place


The key performance driver in the S-reit sector, apart from dividend yield, is total returns ie DPU growth via acquisition and organic expansion. In this respect, we see CIT as being well positioned to deliver these objectives through its ability to grow portfolio aggressively due to its relatively small size vis-à-vis other listed industrial reits and inbuilt step-up rental structure.

Our present FY07 and FY08 DPU estimate of 6cts and 6.4cts respectively translates to a 7-8% Cagr over the next 2 years. This is premised on revenue from the existing portfolio of leases as well as share of additional income from the $119m new acquisitions made known to date.

Acquisition growth opportunities exists

4 pillars to expand portfolio size. CIT's near term DPU growth would be driven by new purchases as the earliest rental reversions from existing leases are in 2008. To this end, the group has identified 4 strategic prongs to grow asset base, with the aim to increase its portfolio value by $500m pa. CIT's mandate allows it to acquire in Singapore as well as
around the region including Malaysia, China and Vietnam.

Announced $119m worth of new buys to date. Through leveraging on its network of contacts in Singapore, CIT had been able to grow its portfolio by 22% to $650m since listing in July 2006. More importantly, the average entry yield of 7% is earnings accretive when compared to the current implied return of 6.2% and WACC of 5.5%. These properties could add $9m or 20% to revenue annually. Moreover, these new purchases are at present financed through debt, which should enhance bottomline even further.

Post acquisition, gearing would rise close to 48%, above its target of 40% but still well below the 60% ceiling allowed for reits with ratings from a credit rating agency. (CIT has obtained a credit rating of 'BBB-' from Standard and Poor's International LLC). In view of this, an equity raising exercise cannot be ruled out, particularly when the group continues to acquire more properties.

Rewarding partnerships. Despite not having a developer sponsor, CIT's acquisition pipeline is visible. It has strategic tie-ups with 2 joint venture partners, CWT and Mitsui, that have proven rewarding as an acquisition source. In addition, CIT can also tap CWT's parent C&P Holdings' for potential targets.

First right and last look of assets from CWT. CIT has the first right to the properties owned by CWT, who is also its joint manager, with a 20% stake in CITM. Within CWT's pipeline, a total 2.3-2.6msf of new space under development is slated to be completed progressively over the next 2-18 months that could potentially be injected into the reit. Of these, 1.2msf comprising CWT Hubs 1 and 2 and CWT Cold Hub are anticipated to complete this year and could be potential targets for CIT. We estimate these could be worth $150m based on current market values. In the longer run, CWT Commodity Hub as well as the Shanghai logistics facility and properties from CWT's parent C&P Holdings, could form a possible pipeline for CIT's acquisition trail.

Its tie-up with partner Mitsui, which also owns 20% of CITM, can potentially reward with its strong Japanese network in Singapore and around the region. Mitsui is one of Japan's largest trading houses and a manager of a Japanese Reit. The Mitsui group and their partners' assets are part of the potential acquisition pipeline for CIT. To this end, a Mitsui manager, Tetsuya Karasawa, has been seconded to CIT's Board.

Low premium accorded for acquisition potential. The industrial space market in Singapore appears to be getting competitive with 4 listed reits and another one in the pipeline. Hence, the pace of acquisition and yields could moderate. However, we view CIT as being most defensive as little expectation had been imputed into share price on this front.

Its P/Book NAV of 1.22x is much lower than A-reit's and Mapletree Logistics' 1.64x. Moreover, its smaller size would mean a similar dollar acquisition would translate to a meaningful accretion in size compared to its larger peers. In addition, CIT's independent nature could be a boon as industrial developers and owners would not view CIT as a potential competitor for the same space.

Organic DPU growth from 2008

Rental cycle bottomed out. CIT is well placed to benefit from the industrial sector recovery through capital and rental value reflation. Its acquisition of industrial assets, at or close to the trough of the market, and the expected rise in capital values and leasing rates should impact positively on asset backing and earnings. According to property consultants, net new demand for industrial space of 10.4msf in 2006 is 27% higher than previous period and outstripped supply for third consecutive year. Average occupancy rate improved to 90.3%, pressuring rents by 4.2% in 2006. Rental levels and industrial property prices are projected to rise by a further 5-8% this year.

Structured rental growth to be felt from 2008. Most of CIT's contracts have inbuilt escalation clauses that provide room for organic growth.Typically, rates for a 5-year contract would be increased in Year 3 while those for a 7 and 8-year contracts would be increased in Year 3, 5 and 7. Organic growth should kick off strongly in FY08, at about 4% as 77-79% of revenue and NLA is due to reversions. Beyond this, growth is likely to average 2.5% pa from FY2009-2011.

The RNAV angle

Sizeable asset enhancement potential. A number of CIT's assets are currently underdeveloped. These buildings, if redeveloped to maximize plot ratio could add value to the asset. Assuming only the floor area of those properties that are below 1x plot ratio are maximized, this could add 1.83sf GFA or 34% to total floor space. In terms of value, these additions could increase asset backing by 10cts (+15%) based on current market values. More importantly, the new areas when leased, should generate much higher returns as they do not incur further land costs. As the time frame of these activities is uncertain, we have not factored it into our present estimates.

Experienced management

CIT is managed by Cambridge Industrial Trust Management (CITM), a 60/20/20 joint venture between Cambridge Real Estate Investment Management, CWT Distribution and Mitsui & Co. The amalgamation of manager shareholders with entrepreneurial skills, in-depth industry knowledge, regional logistics insights and Japanese network opportunities provides CITM with the management breadth and depth to drive shareholder value in the longer run.

Helming CITM is CEO Mr Ang Poh Seong, who was with property consultant Colliers International for 13 years. CIT is likely to benefit from his extensive experience and knowledge of the local property and industrial markets.

Salient concerns


Concerns of an overhang of vendor units exist but appear to have moderated. Vendor shareholders received units in CIT as part payment for the initial properties sold to the reit. These make up close to 37% of the total issued units. Since the cessation of the lock-up period at end Jan 2007, only a small number of these shareholders have pared down their holdings. While the concern of an overhang exists, we believe with the current economic pick-up and stronger balance sheet of the vendors, prospect of an overhang appears to have moderated.

Valuation

Highest yielding industrial reit. CIT offers FY07 yield of 7.3%, a wide spread of 90-290bps over its listed comparables - Macarthurcook Industrial, A-reit and Mapletree Logistics. This is an anomaly in view of its low beta and defensive attributes.

Downside risk is low. The stock is also attractively rated on a P/book NAV of 1.22x compared to the 1.56x of A-reit and Mapletree Logistics and 1.25x of newly listed Macarthurcook Industrial. This indicates a low expectation of acquisition growth had been imputed into current share price. Any newsflow on this front could provide an upside surprise.

30% absolute return from present level. Our DCF value assumes growing portfolio by $500m from its initial $530m and maintaining gearing level at 40%. Our price target, which is based on parity to DCF, translates to a potential absolute return of 30%. At the projected target price, FY07 yield would be 5.9%, still attractive to its comparables. Recommend buy.

Cambridge REIT - Philip


14-Mar-2007

Cambridge Industrial Trust ("CIT") is the first independent industrial real estate investment trust (REIT) in Singapore, established with the objective of investing directly or indirectly in income-producing real estate related assets, which are used mainly for industrial (including warehousing) purposes. CIT’s initial portfolio comprised 27 properties, which are all located in Singapore. CIT’s key financial objectives are to deliver stable and regular distributions to unitholders, in addition to long-term growth in distribution per unit, by acquiring high yielding properties both locally and overseas.

Diverse Industrial Portfolio. CIT’s initial portfolio comprised 27 properties with approximately 426,725 sq m of lettable area. Majority of the properties are located close to current and future transport infrastructure and designed with building specification that can cater to a wide range of tenant mix. As at Dec 06, the total appraised value of the whole portfolio amounted to S$531m, leading to an annualised gross revenue for FY06A of S$43.2m. All the leases of the properties are structured under a built-in rental escalation model, providing a stable income rise for CIT. The weighted average term of the leases by acquisition value for the properties is approximately 7.9 years.

Positive Industrial Outlook. According to Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), prices of multiple-user factory space increased by 6.8% and rentals increased by 4.1% for 2006. In addition, occupancy rates improved to 90%. We expect to continue to see more rental and capital growth in the industrial sector. Currently, Singapore has rises to the 20th position in industrial space cost- six places higher than last year.This is due to the strong manufacturing sector as well as the spillover effect from the surging office market.
The timing of CIT’s acquisitions is well planned with the upturn of the industrial market. The recent acquistions done after IPO are focused on light industrial buildings. We expect the current high rental rate in the commerical sector to divert some attention to light industrial sector. Moreover, we view the rental escalation model structured into the long leases of CIT positively, due to the expected stability in rental rate .

First independent industrial REIT. Both CIT and its manager are not controlled by or dependent on any property developer. CIT will be viewed more positively when it approaches property owners who are also property developers, as they would not be perceived as being in competition with the property owner’s property related development businesses. Moreover, some of the property owners themselves will become unitholders as well as tenants of CIT. This aligned interest creates advantages and flexibility for CIT to access a large pool of potential properties located locally or overseas.

Stable and high distribution. At the current share price of S$0.81, our forecasted annual yield is 6.8% and 7.5% for FY07 and FY08 respectively. This is much higher than the Singapore REITs average yield. FY07F yield represents a healthy spread of 3.73% as compared to a risk free rate of 3.07% (Singapore 10-year bond as of 12 March 2007), and is above the market average spread of 1.10%. Compared to the other listed REITs in Singapore as well as other major REITs markets, CIT REIT offers an attractive risk adjusted investment with high distribution.

Valuation.
Using Dividend Discount Model (DDM), our derived fair value for CIT is S$0.95. This translates to a 5.7% yield and a price to net asset value of 1.43x for FY07F. In our relative comparison, our fair value is above the average S-REITs/industrial yield and below the average price to net asset value. At the current price of S$0.81, we recommend a Buy for CIT with a 18% return.

The first one you posted is for their IPO allotment and the 2nd one is for purchases done in Aug-06. See,

PART III 1. Date of change of Deemed Interest

I wonder why they didn't submit their announcements earlier! But, I won't be surprised if they hv started buying recently as I noticed that the selling by Brilliant is well absorbed.




Thank for the information. At least now I know where to look for the correct information already. :)
