Property Fund/REIT Sector


Refer to important disclosures at the end of this report

DBS Group Research . Equity

Take shelter in volatile market

The sector now comprises 51 PFPOs and five REITS


with a combined market capitalisation of Bt333bn
(US$9.3bn), representing 2.6% of the SET

The sector is offering generous 2015F distribution


yield of 6.6%, a hefty premium to Thai 10-year
government bond yield of 3.0%

We prefer office and retail PFPO/REITs; there is


excess supply in the industrial space sector

Our preferred picks are CPNRF, CPTCG, FUTUREPF,


SPF and TLGF. These PFPOs/REITs possess good
assets and offer relatively generous distribution yield
of 6-8%, while liquidity is quite decent.

A safe haven in the volatile market. The Thai


PFPO/REIT sector has gained 2.4% YTD, out-performing
the SET Indexs 7.7% loss. Most Thai PFPOs/REITs are
generating strong recurring income streams which
should be less exposed to internal and external risks.
They are also paying generous dividend yields of about
6-8%, mostly quarterly.
Potential upside to yields of property funds which
convert to REITs. The SEC and the Revenue
Department have yet to reveal the transactions costs
involved in converting to a REIT. Since 2014, all new
setups have to be under the REIT structure and existing
PFPOs can no longer increase their capital. On this note,
PFPOs which have access to a pipeline of injection assets
would have to convert in order to grow their fund/trust
sizes. REITs are allowed to take on higher net gearing of
up to 35% of NAV (up to 60% if they have investment
grade rating) vs 10% maximum under the property fund
scheme, suggesting distribution per unit and yields
should rise after conversion.
Our preferred Funds/REITs. We prefer retail and office
to industrial PFPO/REITs, given more balanced demandsupply outlook for the former two asset segments. We
like CPNRF, FUTUREPF, and TLGF in the Retail asset
segment, POPF and CPNCG for Office assets, and
TGROWTH for Industrial assets. We also like SPF (airport
assets) and IMPACT (exhibition centres).

Yield, Valuation and Recommendation


Sector is offering generous 2015F distribution yield of
6.6%. This is a hefty 340bps premium to the Thai 10-year
government bond yield of 3.0% currently. Most funds pay
quarterly dividends, while some pay semi-annually.

Offering better yields than other investments. The following


chart shows Thai PFPO/REITs also pay higher yields than
bank deposits, government and corporate bonds, and
dividend yields of listed corporates.

We prefer Office and Retail over Industrial PFPO/REITs. The


Office sector is now in an up-cycle. With limited new supply
entering the market, the occupancy and rents should
continue to rise. On the Retail front, occupancy remains
high at over 90% for prime retail malls. Nonetheless, the
weak domestic consumption could derail rental hikes in the
near term. But quality malls in good locations should
continue to do well. And for the Industrial sector, high
vacancies amid weakening demand and abundant supply
remain our key concerns. In addition, rents can hardly rise
because of the current high vacancy rate.
Our top picks are CPNRF, FUTUREPF, SPF, CPTGF, and TLGF.
The key factors we take into consideration include:

Industry subsector Prefer office, retail over industrial

Location of the assets

Quality of the assets and the anchor tenants

Quality of the property manager

Potential for rental reversion

Potential growth prospects

CPNRF holds leasehold rights to operate four successful


CentralPlaza shopping malls in several locations. They are
Central Rama 2, Central Rama 3, Central Pinklao, and
Central Chiangmai Airport. Portfolio occupancy rate has
always been high at 90% and the fund has been paying
consistently higher dividends since its inception.
Nonetheless, we expect dividend yield to come down to
6.1% in 2015 as Central Pinklao undergoes renovation,
before surging to 7.7% and 8.4% in 2016 and 2017,
respectively. CPNRF plans to convert into a REIT after more
details on transaction costs are available. Successful
conversion would allow higher gearing, which means upside
to yields.

Samui Airport Leasehold Property Fund (SPF)


Riding on Samuis tourism recovery
SPF holds leasehold right to operate Samui Airport until
2036. Tourist arrivals have continued to improve in 2Q15
following the lifting of martial law. We estimate the funds
DPU will grow 4% this year and 7% each in 2016-17 on
rising number of passengers and flights. The fund is
currently offering generous dividend yield of 6.9% for 2015,
and 7.4% in 2016. Key risk is a sharp drop in Samui
tourism. Nonetheless, downside risk is protected by annual
revenue guarantee of Bt570m from Bangkok Airways, the
Property Manager, which suggests a dividend yield of 3.2%
at current price.

Tesco Lotus Retail Growth Property Fund (TLGF)


Decent yields
TLGF invests in 23 Tesco Lotus shopping malls throughout
Thailand. The majority of the assets (60% of total leasable
area) are freehold assets. Tesco is the anchor tenant,
accounting for 58% of total leasable area and 28% of total
rental income. Occupancy rates have been high at 98-99%
since its inception. The fund now offers generous dividend
yield of 6.2%. Tesco Lotus has granted right of first refusal
to TLGF to acquire its existing and future malls. The
successful conversion to a REIT structure would allow the
fund/REIT to borrow more for future acquisitions and rely
less on equity financing. This should lift distribution per unit
and yields.

REIT regulations took effect on 1 Jan 2013. The Securities


and Exchange Commission (SEC) has barred existing PFPOs
from increasing capital, and new IPOs of PFPOs from 2014
(except those who had submitted their applications in 2013
and which listing process had not been completed). All new
setups have to be under the REIT structure. Existing PFPOs
can convert to the REIT structure, but there have so far
been no details on the conversion costs. As a result, there
have not been any applications for conversion. Nonetheless,
some larger funds such as CPNRF and TLGF are waiting for
details from the SEC and are likely to convert into the REIT
structure.

2009

The first Thai PFPO, UOB Apartment Property Fund


(UOBAPF, or BOA Apartment Property Fund at that time)
entered the market in late 2003. The sector enjoyed strong
growth in 2005 and 2006, when the listing of several new
PFPOs boosted the sectors market capitalisation
significantly. But growth slowed when the Bank of Thailand
(BOT) introduced the 30% unremunerated reserve
requirement (URR) in late 2006 -for foreign investors who
invested in Thai PFPOs, to prevent speculation on the Thai
baht. But subsequently on 3 Mar 2008, the BOT lifted the
URR for short-term capital inflows, citing an improving
economy. The sectors market capitalisation surged again in
2012-2014 when a number of large funds entered the
market before the expiry of the deadline to set up new
property funds.

Source: SET, DBS Vickers

First REIT listed in 2014. The first Thai REIT, Impact Growth
Real Estate Investment Trust (IMPACT), was listed on the
SET on 1 October 2014. Since then, there have been four
other REIT listings on the SET.
51 PFPOs and 5 REITs listed on the SET currently. Todate,
there are 51 PFPOs and 5 REITs listed on the SET with a
combined market capitalisation of Bt333.4bn (US$9.3bn).
The sector accounts for 2.6% of the SETs total market
capitalisation currently. Initially, these PFPOs were listed
under the Property Sector. But as the number of PFPOs
grew, the SET created a separate Property Fund & REIT
sector in 2009.

Page 10

Growth driven by new listings rather than secondary


offerings. Sector growth in the last decade was driven
mainly by the listing of new PFPOs/REITS, rather than the
growth of existing funds. Of the total, only a few including
CPNRF, TFUND, TLOGIS, and TLGF, have turned to the
market for secondary offerings to acquire new assets. Note
that the maximum gearing allowed for property funds is
only 10% of NAV, meaning that they need to increase
capital for major asset acquisitions as the level of debt alone
would not be sufficient.

Key differences between PFPO and REIT


Both PFPO and REIT have the same objective, which is to
invest in income-generating assets. Both must pay out at
least 90% of their net income as dividends, making them
high-yield investment alternatives.

Nonetheless, the legal structure, type of assets they can invest


in, leverage limit, holding restrictions, and taxation of
dividends differ. The key differences are listed below.

Property Fund/REIT Sector

Major sponsors
Major sponsors. The following table lists the major
sponsors of the assets for Thai PFPOs/REITs, together with
their current holdings. The top sponsors include TCC Land,
Central Pattana (CPN), Bangkok Land (BLAND), Ek-Chai
Distribution System (TESCO), TICON Industrial Connection
(TICON), and WHA Corporation (WHA).
Benefits to sponsors. Injecting their assets into PFPOs/REITs
is an alternative fund-raising exercise for these companies,
as it helps to unlock the value of their assets and most of
them normally recognise huge disposal gains. The proceeds
were normally used to finance their expansion plans or

develop new properties. They can still own the assets by

income from the funds/REITs. Most also retain the property
management role and receive property management fees
from the funds/REITs.
More assets to be injected. Many of these companies still
have a pipeline of assets that can be injected into the REIT.
Among these are TICON and WHA which are now planning
secondary offerings for their REITs. WHA is also planning to
inject their office assets into a new office REIT to be set up.
CPN has a number of assets that can be injected into a REIT
but is waiting for details from the SEC regarding the
conversion into a REIT.

Price Performance
Sector has yielded 13% average annual returns to investors
in last six years. This comprised about 6% price
appreciation and 7% distribution yield p.a. The total returns
are lower than the SET average return of 14% during the
same period, but the level of risk in investing in PFPO/REIT is
much lower. This is mainly because PFPO/REITs normally
invest in recurring income assets which generate steady cash
flows. In addition, it is strictly governed by the SEC to pay
out not less than 90% of net income. The borrowing limit
is also capped at 10% for PFPOs and 35% for REIT; there is
no limit for other stocks.

Industry Outlook
Office Bright outlook
Favourable demand-supply situation. According to CBRE
(Thailand), the total supply of office space in Bangkok
increased by 86,000 sqm in 1H15 to 8.4m sqm. Among the
major Grade A Buildings completed was Bhiraj Tower at
Emquartier located on Sukhumvit Road, with a total lettable
area of 47,500 sqm. Occupancy rate remained flat at 90.7%
at end-1H15. Net take-up surged to 97,000 sqm in 1H15,
slightly exceeding the total new supply during the period. It
is estimated net take-up of office space for the whole of
2015 will exceed 200,000 sqm.

Future supply not a concern. It is estimated that 103,035


sqm of new supply will be completed in 2H15, 75% of
which are located in non-CBD areas. In 2016, about
119,210 sqm of new supply will enter the market, all of
which will be outside the CBD.
Office: Future supply will be mostly non-CBD

Vacancy rate to fall further. With take-up expected to


outpace new supply, we estimate vacancy rate would
continue to fall and there could be a deficit in office space
supply by the year 2020.

Bangkok office rents are still cheap vs regional peers. The


following chart shows prime office rents in major cities in
Asia Pacific. According to Knight Frank, Bangkok office
rents are still one of the cheapest in Asia, averaging
US$29.1/sqm/month in 2Q15 vs US$96.6 in Singapore and
US$173.1 in Hong Kong.

Rising rents. According to Knight Frank Thailand, average


office rental rate in Bangkok increased 7% y-o-y to
Bt674/sqm/month in 2Q15. Rents rose in all segments,
thanks to the strong increase in demand coupled with
moderate new supply. The rising rents and limited new
supply in CBD have led many occupiers to relocate to
emerging business locations, e.g. on Rama 9 and
Ratchadapisek streets where rents are cheaper. Looking
forward, rents should continue to trend up as demand
growth outpaces supply growth.

Retail Competition grows as supply rises


Demand vs supply. Total retail space in Bangkok increased
by 169,040 sqm to 6.9m sqm in 1H15, according to CB
Richard Ellis. The major developments that opened in 1H15
were The EmQuartier with total lettable area of 50,000 sqm,
The Hub which is an expansion of Zeer Rangsit, with a total
area of 70,000 sqm, and The Rest Area community mall
with 3,040 sqm of lettable area at Prachachuen Toll Plaza
on Si Rat Expressway. Take-up rate was about 50,000 sqm
in 1H15, raising occupied space to 6.3m sqm at end-1H15.
Occupancy easing but remains strong. Despite the rising
supply, occupancy rate has eased from 94% at end-2014 to
93.1% at end-1H15, as supply grew faster than demand.

Falling consumer confidence. According to data from the


University of Thai Chamber of Commerce, Thailands
consumer confidence index has been dropping steadily for
eight consecutive months to 72.3 in August, a 15-month
low. This was the result of a combination of factors
including the recent bombing at the Rajchaprasong
intersection, the sharp drop in exports, the low agricultural
produce prices which have led to low farm incomes, a
slowing Chinese economy, global economic uncertainties,
and the sharp correction in the Thai stock market.

Bangkok retail rents still among the cheapest in Asia. The


following chart shows prime retail rents in Asia Pacific.
According to Jones Lang Lasalle, rents in shopping centers in
CBD in Bangkok averaged US$667/sqm/year, still much
lower than US$4,366 in Singapore and US$15,642 in Hong
Kong.

Retail sales index fell 3.5% y-o-y in 1H15. With consumer


confidence falling amid global economic uncertainties and a
slowing domestic economy, Thailands retail sales index also
fell by 3.5% in 1H15, after falling 5.9% in 2014.

Industrial High vacancies


Ready-Built Factories (RBF)
Excess supply. Total new RBF supply increased by 92,000
sqm in 1H15 to 2.5m sqm, according to CB Richard Ellis.
But net take-up rate had slowed to only 10,000 sqm in
1H15 amid the slowing economy. According to Knight
Frank Thailand, as much as 70% of RBF supply is located in
Chonburi, Rayong and Samut Prakan, because these are the
major locations of various industrial hubs and home to
Thailands automotive industry.

Rising vacancies. According to Knight Frank Thailand, total
supply of warehouse rental space increased by 101,327 sqm
in 1H15 to 3.5m sqm at end-1H15. This has dropped from
an increase of 310,000-440,000 sqm semi-annually in the
previous years, as rental warehouse developers slowed
down expansion plans amid weakening demand, which is in
turn the result of deteriorating exports and a slowing
economy. Vacancies rose to 22% in 1H15.

Rents are stagnant. Average rental rate of warehouses


eased to Bt160/sqm/month in 1H15, given weak demand
and rising vacancies. The largest drop was in the Eastern
Seaboard, because of high competition in the area.

Vacancy rate rising steadily since heavy flooding in 2011.


With the increase in supply far outpacing demand, vacancy
rate continued to rise from 33% at end-2014 to 35% at
end-1H15.

Rents remain flat. The average factory rental rate inched up


a meager 1.4% to Bt217/sqm/month in 2Q15, according to
Knight Frank Thailand. With demand likely to remain slow,
we expect rental rate of RBF to remain quite stagnant
during the rest of this year.

Industry Focus
Property Fund/REIT Sector

The industrial property funds/REITs that offer the highest


2015 dividend yields include 101 Montri Storage Property
Fund, Hemaraj Industrial Property & Leasehold Fund (HPF)
and Ticon Industrial Growth Leasehold Property Fund
(TGROWTH), which are offering 8.0%, 7.8%, and 7.6%,
respectively.

Industrial REIT offering average 7.1% yield in 2015. There


are now 15 listed property funds/REITs that invest in
industrial assets including ready-built factories, logistic
warehouses and storage. These funds are now offering
generous dividend yield of 7.1% at current price. This is
relatively high, but we are concerned about the
sustainability of the yields of some industrial funds over the
medium- to long-term, given weak demand and still high
vacancy rates. Some funds are now being saved by the
temporary revenue guarantees by the sponsors, which mean
their yields could drop in the future.

LOW RISK BUT ATTRACTIVE YIELD

Last Traded Price: Bt10.00 (SET : 1,381.80)


Price Target : Bt10.80 (9% upside)

BUY, with Bt10.80 TP based on DCF valuation. CPTGF is


offering attractive distribution yield of 8.0% (FY15F), payable
quarterly. The fund invests in leasehold rights to three office
buildings that are strategically located in the prime business
areas of Bangkok, including Silom, Fortune Town and
Phayathai area. Note that these buildings also offer retail rental
space. The office buildings currently enjoy high average
occupancy rate of 98%, except for office space of C.P. Tower
II (Fortune Town) which is at 93% given the location and age
of the building.

Positive rental reversion to drive growth. With the prime


area of each building, we expect growth to come from
rental reversion (estimated at 3.0 - 5.0% p.a. for retail rental
space and +10% every three years for office rental space).
Also, the geographical diversification helps to reduce
concentration risk.

Earnings Drivers:
Invests in leasehold rights to three office buildings in
Bangkoks prime areas. These are successful office buildings
in good locations with 98% average occupancy rate. The
Funds assets include i) C.P. Tower I (Silom), ii) C.P. Tower II
(Fortune Town), iii) C.P. Tower III (Phayathai). With all of the
assets being in prime locations, the Fund stands to benefit
from future rental rate hikes. The remaining tenure of the

CAGR, respectively. Occupancy at C.P. Tower III had risen
from 46.4% in 2010 to 100% in 2015, or at 8.4% CAGR.
Payout assumptions. We currently assumed 97%payout ratio
throughout our forecast period. CPTGF has paid Bt0.20
quarterly DPU in 1Q15 and 2Q15, respectively. In addition,
the fund has announced par reduction of Bt0.004 in both
1Q15 and 2Q15.

DPU to surge in 2016 and 2017. Major renovation is now


under way at CentralPlaza PInklao mall, which contributes
22% of the funds total revenue. We estimate DPU will drop
by 25% in 2015 because of revenue lost during the
renovation. But, DPU will surge in 2016 and 2017 after the
renovation is completed; the management estimates rents at
CentralPlaza Pinklao should increase by about 9-10%.

Reiterate BUY, Bt18.00 TP (DCF valuation). CPNRF is Thailands


largest property fund and is one of the most liquid property
funds in Thailand. It has strong recurring income base from
four successful CentralPlaza shopping malls in diversified
locations. The fund now offers generous dividend yield of
6.0% for 2015 (payable quarterly), a hefty premium over Thai
10-year government bond yield of 2.8%. And yields should
rise to 7.7% in 2016 and 8.5% in 2017 following the
completion of major renovation at CentralPlaza Pinklao.

Conversion to REIT structure could lift future yields. CPNRF is


awaiting details on the total costs to convert from the existing
property fund structure to a REIT. The fund would like to
convert to a REIT and grow by acquiring more assets from
sponsor Central Pattana (CPN). With the larger trust size and
higher gearing allowed under the REIT structure, we estimate
distribution yield under a REIT structure would be higher.
Valuation:
Our target price for CPNRF is Bt18, based on discounted cash
flow (DCF) valuation methodology.
Key Risks to Our View:
Key risks are (i) the lower-than-expected occupancy rate, and
(ii) weaker-than-expected rental rate reversion.

CRITICAL DATA POINTS TO WATCH


Earnings Drivers:
A portfolio of four successful malls in diversified locations.
CPNRF currently operates four successful shopping malls in
Thailand, three of which are located in Bangkok and one in
Chiangmai. The four malls are CentralPlaza Rama 2,
CentralPlaza Rama 3, CentralPlaza Pinklao, and CentralPlaza
Chiangmai Airport. Average occupancy rate at the four malls
had dropped to 90.9% at end-2Q15 from 96.6% at end2014, as CentralPlaza PInklao is under renovation.

Rental Structure

Major renovation at CentralPlaza Pinklao. This project


currently contributes 27% of the funds total revenue. The
renovation includes improvements to the building and facade,
decoration of common areas, expansion of leasable area at
the mall by 5,820 sqm (27%), and revising merchandise mix
to meet customer needs. The renovation will be done in two
phases, covering 85% of the mall area in 2Q15-4Q15, and
the remaining 15% in 1Q16-2Q16. The mall will remain open
during the renovation period. Total investment cost for the
project is Bt350m, and estimated IRR is 11%.

Assets

Potential DPU hiccup in 2015. We estimate the funds DPU


will drop by 25% in 2015, given revenue lost during the
renovation. But, it will surge in 2016 and 2017 after the
renovation is completed. Management estimates rents would
increase by about 9-10% after the renovation.

Rental rate reversion. CPNRF managed to renew and sign 81


new leases covering 10,268 sqm, or 5% of total leasable area
in 1H15 at average rental reversion rate of 5.8% p.a. This is
impressive considering the weak domestic consumption YTD.
Going forward, we have assumed CPNRF will grow rental rate
by about 5% p.a. Note that leases for 19% of leasable area
will expire in 2H15, 22% in 2016, and 23% in 2017.

Converting to REIT could lift future yields. CPNRF is awaiting


further details on the transaction costs involved. The fund
would like to convert to a REIT and grow by acquiring more
assets from sponsor CPN. A REIT can gear up to 35% of total
assets and to 60% of its assets if it has an investment grade
credit rating, compared with 10% maximum gearing for a
property fund. We estimate the larger trust size and higher
gearing allowed under the REIT structure would lift
distribution yields.

fund size, the fund needs to convert to a REIT. Further
details, e.g. the related transaction costs, have yet to be

Rising mall traffic will support future rate hikes. Mall


traffic has been rising since 2006, except during the major
flooding in 2011 and 2013. Daily customer count has risen
from 122k in 2006 to 164k in 2014. We conservatively
forecast 2.2% increase in rental rate for this year because of
the slower economy, but assumed it will improve to 3.5% and
3.2% in FY16 and FY17, respectively, and stabilize at 3% from
FY18 onwards.

BUY with DCF-based TP of Bt22.30. Amid the current lowinterest-rate environment, the Fund offers attractive 7.1% yield
in FY15, higher than 10-year government bond yield of 2.65%
and dividend yield of 3.6% for DBS Thailand universe.
Supported by growing mall traffic, revenue growth should be
sustainable at c.3% p.a.

Valuation:
We value FUTUREPF at Bt22.30, based on DCF valuation
(WACC: 6.9%, Terminal value of Bt0 at the end of 2041). Even
with conservative assumptions of 3% annual increase in rental
income and stable occupancy rate for most of the 27 years,
the Fund still offers 25% upside to our target price.
Key Risks to Our View:
Leases for 40% of the Funds leasable area will expire in FY16.
While we expect occupancy rate to be stable and rents to
increase by 3.5% next year, the extended economic slowdown
could result in lower-than-expected lease renewals and rental
hikes.

Bridge construction will not affect earnings


Rangsit Plaza, the other owner of Future Park Rangsit mall, is
closing FUTUREPFs share of leasable area (1,336 sqm) in
order to construct a bridge to link the old building and the
upcoming new phase. That is why occupancy rate at the main
area fell from 97% in 2014 to 92% in 2Q15. However, 2Q15
rental income (+1% y-o-y) was stable because of
compensation from Rangsit Plaza.

Earnings Drivers:
Traffic to remain healthy
Customer traffic has been increasing since 2006, except
during the heavy flooding in 2011 and 2013. Daily customer
count has risen from 122k in 2006 to 164k in 2014, and
peaked at 165k in 1Q15. However, traffic fell 10% q-o-q to
148k in 2Q15 because of renovation work at Centrals mall
and part of Robinsons (total leasable area of 1,936 sqm)
from 20 April to 30 September 2015. Customer count is
expected to normalize to above 160k in 4Q15 and 2016.

Customer traffic (000 people)

Rental hikes to drive growth


Following the economic slowdown and lackluster rate
increases in 1Q15 (+4%) and 2Q15 (+1%), we conservatively
forecast 2.2% rental hike for this year, 3.5% and 3.2% in
FY16 and FY17, respectively, and 3% p.a. from FY18
onwards. Assuming occupancy rate is stable, total rental
income would grow at the the same rate as rents.
Opportunity for rental reversion
Of the total leasable area (59,986 sqm) of shopping space,
20% will see its leases expire in 2H15 and 40% in 2016. If
the economy grows strongly next year, the upcoming
contract renewals might lead to higher-than-expected rental
hike.

Revenue Breakdown 2014

Upside to occupancy rate at common space


FUTUREPF divides its leasable space into main area (56,986
sqm) and common area (8,514 sqm). The main areas
occupancy rate has been around 98% since 2011, and we
expect it to be the same going forward. The occupancy rate
for the common space was 85% in 2014, and we expect it to
gradually improve to 90% in 2019. Currently vacant space in
the common area leaves room for upside to our forecasts.

Aggregate Leverage (%)

Balance Sheet:
As of end-2Q15, FUTUREPF had Bt450m debt, representing
only 6.8% of NAV and 60% of FY15F net investment income.
The fund is scheduled to repay Bt60m every year, so the debt
will be fully repaid by 2022.
Share Price Drivers:
High yield in the low-rate environment
FUTUREPF is offering attractive 7.1-7.4% yields in FY15FFY16F, compared to 2.65% yield for 10-year government
bonds and 3.6-3.9% dividend yield for stocks under DBS
Thailand coverage (75% of the SETs market cap).

FY16. While we expect occupancy rate to be stable and
rents to increase by 3.5% next year, the extended economic
slowdown could result in lower-than-expected lease
renewals and rental hikes.

Future Park Rangsit, a shopping mall in Rangsit, Bangkok,
Thailand. It collects rent from common (8,514 sqm) and
shopping (59,986 sqm) areas with a remaining leasehold life
of 27.5 years. The Fund has a solid track record of income
growth; revenue grew at a 3-year average of 11.6% despite
the political instability in FY14 (3.6% growth). Historically,
FUTUREPF raises rents by 2.5%-3.7% per year.
Ninety-three percent of the leases (shopping space only) are
under fixed-rate rental contracts while the rest 7% is under

Recommend BUY, Bt12 TP (DCF Valuation). The interim


dividend declared for the first quarter of FY16 is Bt0.175/unit.
This implies 6.3% annualised yield, which is much higher than
current Thai 10-year government bond yields. And yield are
forecast to rise along with net earnings, to 6.4% in FY16 and
6.6% in FY17.
Owns completed and freehold assets
The REIT owns the largest exhibition and convention assets in
ASEAN region covering 66% market share in Thailand (at end
March). The REIT has right of first refusal to future assets
developed by IMPACT and with its freehold rights over the
assets, the REIT will enjoy benefit from assets appreciation in
the future.

Strong growth outlook


We expect growth to be driven by (i) revenues from a
diversified group of customers, (ii) the growing MICE (Meeting
Incentive Convention and Exhibition) market, supported by
higher domestic demand and the AEC initiative, and (iii)
acquisition of new assets.
Accessibility by MRT pink line
The MRT pink line (Khae Rai Min Buri) will run past Mueng
Thong Thani, where the REITs assets are located. This would
drive access traffic, and in turn, boost asset value.
Valuation:
We value IMPACT at Bt12, based on DCF valuation.
Key Risks to Our View:
Key risk is a drop in occupancy rate at the REITs assets as a
result of a slower economy and political and safety issues.

CRITICAL DATA POINTS TO WATCH


Earnings Drivers:
Higher occupancy rates. The REIT expects overall occupancy
rate to improve to 58%-63% over the longer-term, driven by
the growing MICE market, supported by higher domestic
demand and the AEC initiative. Furthermore, the REIT is able
to attract and retain customers because of its strategicallylocated assets with full facilities. IMPACT currently has 66%
of the total MICE market share in Thailand (at end March).
This indicates strong earnings growth ahead.
Higher ARR (Average Rental Rate). The management plans to
raise rents for new leases and renewals by 4%-10%
depending on current rent, rental period, and other factors.
The REITs diversified asset offering gives it flexibility to meet
demand for a large range of meetings and exhibitions.
Specifically, the REIT has a major competitive advantage in
being able to offer the space for meetings and exhibitions
that require a large area. The REIT is also targeting to grow
the international customer segment because they can
normally charge higher rental rates. Hence, we expect ARR to
increase by 5%-7% y-o-y.
Cost-saving projects. The REIT is trying to keep cost of
services at less than 15% of total service income (14.2% in
1Q15). This has led to several cost-saving initiatives that were
implemented since last year, including switching to LED light
bulbs, improving efficiency of the cooling tower. The REIT is
also considering solar panel installations in parking lots and
TES (Thermal Energy System) to reduce electricity costs.

ARR

Customer Segment breakdown for FY14/15

Acquisitions in 2016. The REIT will acquire three key assets in


2016 with a total value of Bt2.5-3bn: i) Novotel Bangkok
IMPACT (380 rooms, occupancy rate 75-90%, average room
rate Bt2,500/night); ii) The Geneva office building (50,000
sqm, occupancy rate c.85%, rent Bt280-340/sqm/month);
and iii) indoor car park near the Geneva building.
Furthermore, BLAND is constructing an IBIS hotel (587 rooms
with average room rate of Bt1,000/night) which may be sold
to the REIT when completed. These suggest strong earnings
growth from 2016 onwards.

Leverage & Asset Turnover (x)

Balance Sheet:
Investment properties accounted for 96% of total assets at
the end of June. The properties will be revalued annually. The
REIT has a strong balance sheet with a low leverage ratio of
0.24x at end June, represented by Bt3.9bn long-term loans.
However, leverage could surge if the REIT decides to finance
2016 acquisitions with debt. Since incorporation, the fund
has paid out an average of 96% of distributable earnings
with total amount of Bt0.595 per unit, and the management
plans to retain this.
Share Price Drivers:
Improvement in overall occupancy rate. The REITs average
occupancy rate is still not stable (55% in FY14, 49% in 1Q15)
and could miss its latest target of 58-63%. Hence, occupancy
rate will be a key revenue and earnings driver in the future.
Key Risks:
Slowing economy, political turmoil and safety issues. These
could lead to lower occupancy rates at the REITs assets,
which would reduce investment income.

COMPANY BACKGROUND
IMPACT is one of Thailands leading property funds. The
Fund has invested in IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, the
largest exhibition and convention center in South East Asia,
covering a total exhibition area of over 122,165 sqm. The
REITs assets are i) IMPACT Arena, ii) IMPACT Forum, iii)
IMPACT Exhibition Hall 1-8, and iv) IMPACT Challenger.
Customers of the REIT can be split into three main
segments: Public Sector, Domestic Private Sector and
International Private Sector.
The REITs revenue is driven by occupancy rate which can be
affected by economic, political and safety issues, and rental
rates. The REIT absorbs the operating expenses and the fund
management fees and capital expenditures, but the REITs
profit is exempted from tax. The REIT is able to acquire new
assets in the future in accordance with regulations.

BUY

MODERATE GROWTH POTENTIAL

Last Traded Price: Bt10.40 (SET : 1,381.72)


Price Target : Bt11.40 (10% upside)

Recommend BUY, Bt10.4 TP (DCF valuation). LHREIT has


declared Bt0.022/unit interim dividend for the first half of
FY15. This implies 7.9% annualised yield, higher than the
current Thai 10-year government bond yield of 3.0%. Yields
are forecast to rise along with net earnings, to 7.0% in FY16
and 7.0% in FY17.
Prime location, easy accessibility
The REIT owns Terminal 21, a retail mall with 34,058 sqm of
leasable space, including the food court. The asset is located in
the middle of a major business district (Asoke District) where
there are large office buildings and hotels. Terminal 21 is easily
accessible by both MRT and BTS, which will continue to drive
traffic to the store.

Potential Catalyst: Moderate earnings growth

Unique theme and proactive marketing


Terminal 21 differentiates itself from other malls with its
unique concept of offering shoppers the experience of
shopping in major cities around the world, all under one roof.
They also have an attractive mix of retail and F&B offering to
attract both local customers and tourists.
Mild growth outlook
Occupancy is currently close to 98% of total leasable area.
Hence, we expect growth to be mostly driven by positive rental
reversions and an increase in the share of variable rent
contracts (i.e. as a % of store turnover).
Valuation:
We value LHSC at Bt11.4, based on DCF valuation.
Key Risks to Our View:
Key risk is a drop in occupancy rate as a result of a slower
economy and political and safety issues, and lower-thanexpected average rental rate.

CRITICAL DATA POINTS TO WATCH

ARR and Occupancy rate

Earnings Drivers:
Higher ARR (Average Rental Rate). The leases are divided into
two types: (i) fixed rate contracts which accounts for 85% of
total rental income, and (ii) variable rate contracts which are
mostly signed with the F&B and cinema operators. The fixedrate contracts are normally for one to three years, with a rent
review upon renewal. The variable-rate contracts are linked to
the revenues generated by the lessees. We expect overall ARR
to increase by 10% every three years.
High occupancy rates. The REITs portfolio occupancy rate is
currently at 98% of total leasable space with 588 lessees. We
expect occupancy rate to be stable or reach 100% in some
months, because the convenient access and stylish interior
design of the property will attract both local customers and
tourists. Hence, earnings growth should remain relatively
stable in the near future.

Net Property Income and Margins (%)

Development in the surrounding area. The REITs asset is


located in one of Bangkoks major business districts. It stands
between office buildings, hotels, and condominiums. Given
easy access to the Asoke District, there are many property
development projects, including condominiums and malls.
These will drive traffic to the district, as well as Terminal 21,
which suggests growth ahead.
NAV

Rent opportunity in common area. The REIT also has a


common (1,600 sqm) available for rental for special events,
such as promotional product fairs that could run from a few
days to a month. If the REIT expands the common area, there
is a room for upside to our forecasts.

Balance Sheet:
Investment properties accounted for 90% of the REITs total
assets end June. The REITs leverage ratio is only 0.11x,
represented by Bt1.1bn long-term loans. The low leverage,
indicates a strong balance sheet. The REIT has no plans to
acquire new assets in the near-term, which means net
gearing will drop as the REIT starts to repay the loan. Since
incorporation in December 2014, the REIT payout has been
c.90% of distributable earnings, or Bt0.022 per unit, implying
0.2% dividend yield (based on IPO price). The REIT will raise
dividend payout ratio to 95% in the future.

Key Risks:
Political turmoil, safety issues and slowing economy. The
political and safety issues could lead to lower traffic at
Terminal 21, which could drive down occupancy rates. And
a slowing economy would make it challenging for the REIT
to increase rents. These would reduce investment income.

BUY

ATTRACTIVE DIVIDEND YIELD

Last Traded Price: Bt13.30 (SET : 1,381.72)


Price Target : Bt14.00 (6% upside)

BUY, Bt14.0 TP (DCF valuation). The Fund has declared


Bt0.262/unit interim dividend for 2Q15; we are expecting
8.1% dividend yield for FY15F. This is higher than the current
Thai 10-year government bond yield of 3.0% and dividend
yield of 3.6% for DBS Thailand universe. And, yields will rise
along with net earnings, to 8.3% in FY16 and 8.8% in FY17.

Potential Catalyst: Rental rate hike and healthy occupancy rate

Diversified, prime location of assets


The Fund has leased three assets in different locations: (i) UBC
II Building in Prompong, (ii) Ploenchit Center Building in
Ploenchit, and (iii) Bangna Tower. The diverse locations allow
the Fund to capture rising traffic in several areas and minimise
asset concentration risk (to avoid income being disrupted at all
assets by a single event). This helps to generate stable income.

Convenient access
Both the UBC II Building and Ploenchit Center are located in
prime locations and accessible by BTS. And, Bangna Tower is
on Bangna Trad Road, one of the main transportation routes
for goods, and is only 20-km from Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Consequently, traffic at these assets is supported by easy
access.
Potential growth outlook
Portfolio occupancy has been sustainable at 96-99%, and
considering strong demand for the assets, the Fund expects
average rental rate to increase by 10-15% every three years.
Valuation:
We value POPF at Bt14.0, based on DCF valuation.
Key Risks to Our View:
Key risks are (i) a drop in occupancy rate, (ii) lower-thanexpected average rental rate, and (iii) non-renewal of leases.

Prime Office Leasehold Property Fund

CRITICAL DATA POINTS TO WATCH

Occupancy rate (%)


Occupancy rate (%)

Earnings Drivers:
Leasehold rights to three buildings in prime locations. They
are (i) UBC II Building in Prompong, (ii) Ploenchit Center
Building at Ploenchit, and (iii) Bangna Tower. The buildings
are located in prime areas and along the main roads leading
into and out of Bangkok, and register high average
occupancy rates of 96-99%. The remaining tenures of the
lease are 10 - 29 years, which means they will continue to
generate revenues for that period. And, the diversified
location of the assets reduces concentration risk.
Healthy occupancy rate. The Funds portfolio occupancy rate
has been hovering at 96-99% of total leasable space in the
past few years. The Fund expects occupancy rate to be stable
because the convenient access and availability of full facilities
will continue to drive demand for the assets.
Average rental rate (ARR) hikes. ARR dropped in 4Q14
because the Fund had added Bangna Tower which
commands lower ARR than the other two assets because of
location. However, the Fund will be able to raise rents
regularly because the assets are in prime locations. We expect
growth to come from positive rental reversion which would
increase overall ARR by 10-15% every three years.
Strong facilities offering. The properties operated by the Fund
have full facilities, i.e. meeting rooms, catering rooms, fitness
facilities, parking lots, etc. One of the largest advantages is
sufficient parking lots for tenants and visitors; most of the
other office buildings in the Central Business District are
facing a shortage of parking space. In addition, the Fund has
kept parking fees stable so far; this suggests room to raise
fees (and income) when there is stronger demand for the
parking lots.

Prime Office Leasehold Property Fund

Balance Sheet:
Investment properties accounted for 97% of the Funds total
assets at end June. Total borrowings amount to Bt455m
(long-term loan), implying low leverage at 0.08x. This
indicates a strong balance sheet and also complies with the
SECs property fund regulations. The Fund has no plans to
drawdown more loans. Hence, net gearing will improve as
the Fund repays the loan.

BUY

OFFERING GENEROUS YIELDS

Last Traded Price: Bt19.60 (SET : 1,381.72)


Price Target : Bt21.40 (9% upside) (Prev Bt21.40)

Reiterate BUY, Bt21.40 TP (DCF valuation). The fund offers


generous dividend yield of 6.9% for 2015 (payable quarterly),
a hefty premium over the Thai 10-year government bond yield
of 2.65%. And the yields should rise to 7.4% in 2016 and
8.0% in 2017, in line with a recovering tourism industry on
Samui. Unlike many other PFPOs and REITs which are now
running at nearly full capacity, SPF is operating at below its full
capacity, suggesting hefty upside potential.

Potential Catalyst: Strong recovery of Samui tourism


Where we differ: n.a.
Analyst
Chanpen SIRITHANARATTANAKUL +662 657 7824
chanpens@th.dbsvickers.com

A prime beneficiary of recovering tourism. SPF derives revenues


from departing passengers and incoming flights at Samui
Airport. With politics getting calmer and martial law lifted in
April, we conservatively expect tourist arrivals to grow 5% in
2015, 7% each in 2016-2018, and 5% thereafter until 2036.
Note that despite the political uncertainty, SPFs passenger
numbers still expanded at 7% CAGR over the last decade.

Clears key hurdle. Bangkok Airways (BA), the property


manager, had received approval from the Department of Civil
Aviation to increase the maximum number of flights to Samui
Airport from 36 to 50 effective November 2014. This should
remove earlier concerns about capacity.
Valuation:
We value SPF at Bt21.40, based on the DCF model.
Key Risks to Our View:
Key risk is a sharp drop in tourists to Samui. Nonetheless,
downside risk is protected by annual revenue guarantee of
Bt570m from Bangkok Airways, the Property Manager, which
suggests a dividend yield of 3.2% at current price.

CRITICAL DATA POINTS TO WATCH


Earnings Drivers:
Compelling growth story. Unlike many other PFPOs and REITs
which are now running at nearly full capacity, SPF is
operating at below its full capacity. The fund has ample room
to grow - current traffic is only 1.1m passengers per year
compared to its maximum capacity of over 2m passengers at
Samui Airport. In addition, Bangkok Airways (BA), the
property manager, had received approval from the
Department of Civil Aviation to increase the maximum
number of flights to Samui Airport from 36 to 50 effective
November 2014. This should remove earlier concerns over

Recovering tourism industry. Despite the low season,


passenger and flight volumes improved substantially in 2Q15
following the lifting of martial law in April. June traffic was
most impressive, with passenger volume surging 11% y-o-y
and flight volume 9%. The positive momentum should
continue into the high tourist season on Samui in 3Q15. We
conservatively expect passenger volume to grow 5% in 2015,
and 7% each in 2016-2017. Note that despite the political
uncertainty, SPFs passenger numbers expanded at 7% CAGR
over the last decade.
Increasing international passenger service charge. BA, the
property manager, has secured the Department of Civil
Aviation (DCA) approval to raise passenger service charge
(PSC) for international passengers at Samui Airport from
Bt600 to Bt700. This was effective June 2015. Under the
agreement with BA, SPF will get 20% of the increment and
the rest will go to BA. SPF share of PSC is now Bt340 per
passenger on international flight (from Bt320 earlier).
Although the impact of the PSC hike is small, it will still lift
revenues.
Rising number of flights in line with passenger growth. The
average daily number of flights to Samui Airport is about 36
vs 50 flights maximum permitted currently. We expect the
number of flights to continue to increase along with
passenger numbers. Note that BA accounts for a large
portion of flight volume at Samui Airport. Other airlines
include Thai Airways, Silk Air, and Firefly. BA currently flies
directly to three international destinations from Samui, and
back. These are Hong Kong, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur.
The company plans to increase flight frequency to these
international destinations soon, while offering direct flights to
new destinations in the medium to long term. These
additional flights and services should help to support growth
in the future.

Revenue Is On The Rise

Samui Airport Property Fund

Distribution per Unit (Bt)

Balance Sheet:
Balance sheet is strong with net a cash position and virtually
no debt. SPF has no operating expenses or capex, as these are
borne by Bangkok Airways, the Property Manager. The fund
has only annual fund expenses of about Bt40m. Hence, any
increases in revenue would flow directly to the bottom line.
The fund normally pays out 100% of cash profits every
quarter. Such distribution has been risen steadily since its
inception, in line with rising passenger and flight numbers.
Despite the political unrest in 2014 which has led to military
coup in May 2014, SPF managed to pay flat dividends as
compared to 2013.
Share Price Drivers:
Recovering tourism industry. Since the funds revenues and
profits are tied directly to Samui tourism, the strong tourist
recovery will be a key driver of both earnings and share price.
1Q and 3Q are normally high seasons for Samui tourism.

Key Risks:
Political unrest. Political unrest, like what happened in 2014
which led to the implementation of martial laws, will affect
tourist arrivals to Thailand including Samui Airport, and
hence, revenues of the fund.
Reliance on a single asset. SPF relies on a single asset to
generate its revenues, which is Samui Airport, and tourism
on Samui.
COMPANY BACKGROUND
SPF is one of Thailand's leading property funds. The Fund
invests in leasehold rights to operate Samui Airport for 30
years (2006-2036). Bangkok Airways, the sponsor, has
voluntarily agreed to retain at least 25% stake in the fund
for 20 years in order to align its interests with the fund. BA
has 25.1% stake in the fund.
SPFs revenues correlate with the number of passengers and
flights flying from and to Samui Airport, based on the
following formula. All operating expenses and capital
expenditure are borne by the operator, Bangkok Airways.
This eliminates operating cost risks at the fund.

TLGF is offering decent distribution yield of 6.0% (FY16F),
payable quarterly. We have conservatively assumed 95%
payout ratio in our projections vs 100% historical payout. The
fund invests in freehold and leasehold rights to 23 successful
malls that are strategically located throughout Thailand, thus
reducing concentration risks. These malls currently enjoy high
occupancy rate of 99%.

Potential Catalyst: Strong rental reversion, Convets to a REIT

Net investment income to surge this year. The main contracts


with anchor tenant Tesco Lotus, which cover 58% of total
lettable area and account for 28% of revenues, are subject to
10% rental reversion this year. And, 648 other contracts (nonTesco Lotus) covering 30,312 sqm or 9% of total lettable area
are expiring in FY16 and subject to renewals at 5% higher
rents, at least.

Mulling conversion to a REIT. TLGF is still awaiting the SECs


regulations on transaction costs to transfer assets from a
property fund to a REIT. The funds current borrowing is
Bt2.6bn, representing 9.8% of total assets, slightly below its
10% ceiling. Tesco Lotus has granted right of first refusal to
TLGF to acquire its existing and future malls. The successful
conversion to a REIT structure would allow the fund/REIT to
borrow more for future acquisitions and rely less on equity
financing. This should lift distribution per unit and yields.
Tesco Lotus has a lot of potential assets that can be injected
into the REIT in the future.
Valuation:
We value TLGF at Bt15.10 based on DCF valuation.
Key Risks to Our View:
Key risks are (i) lower-than-expected rental reversion, and (ii)
weaker-than-expected occupancy rate.

Property Fund
Revenue Breakdown (1Q15/16) (%)

CRITICAL DATA POINTS TO WATCH


Earnings Drivers:
Portfolio of 23 shopping malls in good locations throughout
Thailand, most of which are freehold assets. Freehold assets
represent 60% of TLGFs total leasable area of 336,291
sqm, and 77% of the appraised value of the assets. These
are successful malls in good locations with 99% average
occupancy rate. 12 of the malls are located in Bangkok and
11 in the provinces. The geographical diversification helps to
reduce concentration risks. With a lot of the assets being
freehold and in good locations, the fund stands to benefit
from future capital appreciation.

Rental Reversion (%)

Proven track record, average 99% occupancy. Tesco Lotus is


the largest anchor tenant, occupying 58% of the funds
leasable area and generating 28% of revenue.
Growth drivers. We expect growth to come from rental
reversion (+estimated at 5.0% p.a. for non-Tesco Lotus
space) and acquisitions. History suggests the fund had been
increasing rents by 8.0-20.0% upon lease renewal for nonTesco Lotus space. The contracts with Tesco Lotus are for a
period of 10 years and renewable automatically for two
terms of 10 years each (total 30 years). Rents are raised by

Mulling conversion to REIT. TLGF is still awaiting the SECs


regulations on the transaction costs involved to transfer the
assets to a REIT. The funds current borrowing is Bt2.6bn,
representing 9.8% of its net asset value, slightly below its
10% ceiling. Tesco Lotus has granted right of first refusal to
TLGF to acquire its existing and future malls. The successful
conversion to a REIT structure would allow the fund/REIT to
borrow more for future acquisitions and rely less on equity
financing. This should lift distribution per unit and yields.
Tesco Lotus has a lot of potential assets that can be injected
into the REIT in the future; it operates 133 malls in Thailand
(including the 23 malls under TLGF), and is building more.

Dividend payout assumptions. We currently assume 95%


dividend payout ratio in our projections vs 100% payout
historically. This reflects the current net gearing which has
hit the ceiling, suggesting the fund needs to reserve cash for
any capital expenditure that may arise.

Balance Sheet:
Total borrowings amounted to Bt2.6bn, representing 9.8% of
its net asset value at end-1Q16.
Share Price Drivers:
Strong rental reversion. Strong rental reversion could lift
rental income and distribution per unit.
Converting to a REIT. The successful conversion would mean
the REIT can gear up more. It will then rely less on equity
financing. This should lift DPU and yields.

Acquisition growth stalled unless the fund converts to a REIT


All property funds, including TLGF, can no longer increase
capital to acquire additional assets. To be able to grow the
fund size, the fund needs to be converted to a REIT. But that
cannot be done until the SEC finalises further details, such
as transaction costs.

18 Sep 2015

BUY

RESILIENT INDUSTRIAL SPACE LESSOR

Last Traded Price: Bt12.20 (SET : 1,381.72)


Price Target : Bt12.90 (6% upside)

BUY with DCF-based TP of Bt12.90. Amid the low-interestrate environment, the fund offers attractive annual yield of
c.8% over the next three years, higher than the current 2.65%
yield for Thai government bonds and 3.6% yield for stocks
under DBS coverage. It has a solid track record of healthy
occupancy rates and offers 16% total return (price upside +
dividend yield) at the current market price.

Potential Catalyst: Strong economic recovery and rental hike


Where we differ: N/A
Analyst
Wasu Mattanapotchanart +662 658 7826
wasum@th.dbsvickers.com

Withstanding the economic slowdown.


While the occupancy rates at other property funds under
TICON are in the range of 71-76% and declining because of
the slower economy, TGROWTH has been resilient. Its
occupancy rate had bottomed out at 93% in 2H14 and has
rebounded to 96% in 1H15, close to its peak of 98-100% in
2013 and early 2014. We estimate occupancy rate at
96%/97%/95% for FY15/16/17.

Key Risks to Our View:


Economic slowdown and high-household-debt-to-GDP ratio
(c.85%) could result in extended weak automotive sales in
Thailand. This could, in turn, cause autopart makers (33% of
total leasable areas) to downsize production capacities. Also,
lackluster global growth could hurt exports of electronics parts.
Electronics firms account for 20% of TGROWTHs leasable
area.

Economic recovery could push up occupancy rates


We project the Funds occupancy rate will be in the range of
95-97% over the next five years, before dropping to 90%
from 2020 onward. The majority its clients are involved in
autoparts (33% of leasable area), logistics (21%), and
consumer products (6%), so TGROWTHs occupancy rate
could beat our estimates during economic upturns. This
would present a mild upside to our forecast earnings and TP.
Its occupancy rate had peaked at 98-100% in 2013 and early
2014.

The majority of TGROWTHs rental contracts are for three
years, and the Fund usually raise rents by 5-10% when the
contracts expire, implying 1.7%-3.3% hike p.a. The actual
hikes would depend on the prevailing demand-supply
situation and the size and location of the rental assets. We
forecast average rent would increase by 2.5% p.a. over the
next four years, before slowing to 2% p.a. over FY21-24, and
1% thereafter.

This is in stark contrast with the other TICON-owned property


funds, of which occupancy rates continue dropping. TFUNDs
occupancy rate has fallen from 95.6% in 4Q11 to 70.6%
now, and TLOGISs has fallen from its 95% peak in 2Q13 to
76% in 2Q15. Hence, we believe that TGROWTH would be
able to weather the recession better than other TICON funds.

Earnings Drivers:
Occupancy rates remain healthy
TGROWTHs operations have been resilient. Despite the
ongoing economic slowdown, its occupancy rate had
bottomed out in 2H14 at 93% (factory: 100%, warehouse:
88%) and rebounded in 1H15 to 96% (factory: 100%,
warehouse: 93%).

Balance Sheet:
At the end of 2014, TGROWTH had Bt460m debt, equivalent
to 8.1% of NAV. We expect debt to drop to Bt422m (7.4%
of NAV) by the end of this year, and the Fund to be debt-free
by 2026, assuming no acquisition of new rental assets.

Attractive yield
TGROWTH is offering attractive annual yield of c.8% for the
next three years, compared to 2.65% for 10-year Thai

under DBS coverage (75% of the SET market cap) in FY1516F.

Key Risks:
Domestic and global economic slowdown
The slower economy and high household debt could result
in extended weak automotive sales in Thailand; falling auto
production could make its autopart makers (33% of
TGROWTHs total leasable area) to downsize production
lines and warehouse space. Also, lackluster global growth
could hurt exports of electronics parts (20% of total leasable
area).
