CapitaMall Trust: Resilient quarter
CapitaMall Trust (CMT) reported its 3Q14 results which
were in-line with ours and the street’s expectations. Gross
revenue increased 2.9% YoY to S$164.6m, while DPU grew
at a stronger 6.2% to 2.72 S cents. We expect S$11.2m, or
0.32 S cents/unit of taxable income retained in 1H14 to be
distributed in 4Q14. Despite softness in its shopper traffic
and tenants’ sales psf, we note that the magnitude of
decline has moderated, while portfolio occupancy rate was
stable at 98.5%. Positive rental reversions of 6.3% were
also achieved for 9M14. We retain our forecasts given this
in-line set of results. CMT is trading at 5.7% FY14F and
6.0% FY15F distribution yield, above its 10-year average
blended 12-month forward distribution yield of 5.3%.
Maintain BUY, with an unchanged fair value estimate of
S$2.20. This implies total potential returns of 21%.

3Q14 results within expectations
CapitaMall Trust (CMT) reported its 3Q14
results which were in-line with ours and the
street’s expectations. Gross revenue
increased 2.9% YoY to S$164.6m,
underpinned largely by the completion of the
AEIs at Bugis Junction in Oct 2013 and Sep
2014, coupled with higher rentals on new
and renewed leases. DPU grew at a stronger
6.2% YoY to 2.72 S cents (ex-dividend on 24
Oct), partly due to a +0.3 ppt increase in its
NPI margin to 69.3%. For 9M14, revenue
rose 3.7% to S$493.6m, while DPU climbed
5.7% to 7.98 S cents. This constituted
74.9% and 72.6% of our FY14 forecasts,
respectively. The latter is within expectations
as S$11.2m, or 0.32 S cents/unit of taxable
income retained in 1H14 is expected to be
distributed in 4Q14.

First REIT: Another reliable performance
 3Q14 DPU +3.1% YoY
 Another record DPU
 Trim forecasts but retain HOLD
3Q14 results in-line with our
expectations
First REIT’s (FREIT) 3Q14 results came in
within our expectations. Revenue,
distributable income and DPU rose 4.6%,
6.1% and 3.1% YoY to S$23.8m, S$14.7m
and 2.02 S cents (ex-dividend on 24 Oct),
respectively. Notably, its DPU achieved
another record high (+1% QoQ), aided by
organic growth in its portfolio and a full
quarter of contribution from Siloam Hospitals
Purwakarta (SHPW), which was acquired in
May this year. For 9M14, revenue,
distributable income and DPU jumped 14.7%,
13.5% and 8.3% to S$69.4m, S$43.3m and
6.01 S cents; and this formed 74.4%, 72.0%
and 72.4% of our FY14 projections,
respectively.
Softness in retail scene; but portfolio
still resilient
CMT recorded a 1.5% and 3.0% YoY decline
in its shopper traffic and tenants’ sales psf in
9M14, respectively, in-line with the softness
in Singapore’s retail sales. Nevertheless, we
note that the magnitude of decline has
moderated (shopper traffic and tenants’ sales
psf were down 2.0% and 3.7% in 1H14,
respectively). Its portfolio occupancy rate
was also stable at 98.5% as at end Sep
2014, versus 98.6% as at end 1H14 and
98.5% as at end Dec 2013. CMT managed to
achieve positive rental reversions of 6.3% for
9M14, despite a slight drag coming from IMM
(-2.8%). We expect the situation to improve
at IMM, as management plans to carry out
Phase 2 of AEIs to incorporate more outlet
stores. Three other malls are also undergoing
AEIs at the moment.
More acquisitions could come in 4Q14
Management believes the victory by Joko
Widodo at the recent Indonesian presidential
elections augurs well for the economy and
the healthcare sector, in particular. Hence,
we expect FREIT to maintain its core focus on
the Indonesian market for future
acquisitions-fuelled growth. Siloam
International Hospitals, a subsidiary of
FREIT’s sponsor Lippo Karawaci, recently won
the Healthcare Services Provider of the Year
title in the Frost & Sullivan Indonesia
Excellence Awards 2014. Its Strategic
Development Director, Dr. Anang Prayudi,
highlighted plans to achieve growth of ~3040% via greenfield projects and M&A
activities. We expect FREIT to be a
beneficiary of this trend, and believe it is
currently in negotiations with Lippo Karawaci
on possible acquisition targets, with 4Q14 a
possible timeline for an agreement to be
reached.
Maintain BUY
In terms of financial position, CMT has
maintained a comfortable gearing ratio of
34.1%, with an average cost of debt of
3.6%. We retain our forecasts given this inline set of results. CMT is trading at 5.7%
FY14F and 6.0% FY15F distribution yield,
above its 10-year average blended 12-month

Pare estimates slightly; maintain HOLD
We trim our FY14 and FY15 forecasts slightly
by 2.8%, as we input higher tax expenses
and a larger unit base in our model to
account for its distribution reinvestment plan.
Correspondingly, our DDM-derived fair value
estimate declines from S$1.21 to S$1.18.
Despite our lowered DPU forecast, FREIT still
offers a healthy FY14 and FY15 dividend yield
of 6.8% and 7.0%, respectively.
Nevertheless, we are maintaining our HOLD
rating on the stock as valuations appear fair,
in our opinion, with the stock trading at 1.3x
FY14F and FY15F P/B. (Wong Teck Ching

Proposed rights issue to strengthen
balance sheet
The large provisions charged during the
quarter weakened Tigerair’s balance sheet
tremendously and reduced its book value by
91.9% from S$278.7m as at 31-Mar to
S$22.6m as at 30-Sep. It announced last
week the proposal to undertake an 85-for100 rights issue to raise gross proceeds of up
to ~S$234m at S$0.20 per rights share. SIA
has undertaken to subscribe for its pro rata
entitlement as well as excess rights shares
up to total of S$140m. In addition, SIA
announced that it will convert all of its
perpetual convertible capital securities
(PCCS) holdings into shares prior to the
rights issue, raising its stake in Tigerair from
40% to ~55%. Simply put, if the rights issue
is approved, the minimum gross proceeds
that Tigerair should receive is at least
S$138m.
.
Tiger Airways: Wings clipped by weak
balance sheet
 Large provisions charged to
2QFY15
 Proposed rights issue has SIA’s
support
 Change in valuation; maintain
SELL
Change in FV estimate; maintain SELL
With large provisions and a weak
performance in 2QFY15, we increase our
forecasted FY15F net loss by 145.3% to
S$254.4m. But given the reduction in cash
burden from the sublease of the 12 aircraft,
we narrow our FY16F estimated net loss by
62.7% to S$6.0m. We also have not factored
in the effects of the rights issue as it is only
at the proposal stage. With the tremendous
drop in book value, we change our valuation
methodology to EV/EBITDA instead P/B. We
will review our estimate again when the
rights issue is approved. Hence, at 8x FY16F
EV/EBITDA (regional LCCs average blended
FY15F/16F EV/EBITDA: 8.2x), we lower our
FV estimate to S$0.21 (prev: S$0.35) while
maintaining a SELL rating. We will revisit our
estimate once again when the rights issue is
approved. (Eugene Chua)
Disappointing 2QFY15 results once
again
Tiger Airways Holdings (Tigerair) reported a
10.5% YoY decline in its 2QFY15 revenue to
S$146.7m while its 1HFY15 revenue declined
21.1% to S$315.7m due to exclusion of
Tigerair Australia, meeting 96.2% of our
forecasted 1HFY15 revenue. It also recorded
a 107.7% YoY increase in 2QFY15 core loss
to S$26.6m, mainly due to weaker yields
albeit higher traffic volume, which led to a
126.0% increase in 1HFY15 core loss to
S$44.3m. Tigerair’s 2QFY15 results were
further worsened by large provisions
amounting to S$159.1m. Out of the
S$159.1m, S$99.3m was provided for
onerous aircraft lease contracts while the
remaining provision was for the loss
expected from the planned divestment of
Tigerair Australia. Taking into account these
provisions, Tigerair’s 2QFY15 net loss
amounted to S$182.4m, against its 2QFY14
PATMI of S$23.8m.

Sembcorp Marine: Secures orders worth
S$222m
Sembcorp Marine (SMM) announced that its
subsidiaries Sembmarine SLP and Jurong
Shipyard have secured offshore energy
related contracts valued at a combined
S$222m. Sembmarine SLP has won a
contract from Siemens to design and build
the offshore substation platform for the
Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm, while Jurong
Shipyard has been contracted by regular
customer MODEC to complete the repair and
life extension, and conversion of a VLCC into
a FPSO vessel as part of the TEN
Development Project. With these contracts,
SMM has secured new contracts worth about
S$3.9b YTD, accounting for close to our full
year new order win estimate. Maintain BUY
with S$4.18 fair value. (Low Pei Han)

Singapore Airlines: To take control of
Tiger Airways
Singapore Airlines Limited (SIA) last Friday
announced that it had entered into an
irrevocable undertaking with regards to the
rights issue of Tiger Airways Holdings Limited
(Tigerair). SIA currently holds a 40% stake
[~394.6m ordinary shares and 189.4m nonvoting perpetual convertible securities
(PCCS)] in Tigerair. As part of its
undertaking, SIA will be converting all of its
PCCS into 358.7m new Tigerair shares at a
price S$0.565 per share, bringing its stake in
Tigerair up to ~55% before the rights issue,
effectively taking control over Tigerair. As
part of the Whitewash Resolution of PCCS,
SIA is not required to make a general offer
and has no intention to do so. Furthermore,
SIA also undertakes to subscribe in full its
pro rata entitlement (~55%) of the rights
issue as well as any excess rights up to a
total of S$140m. Buying Tigerair’s shares at
a significant premium is probably a strategic
move to gain control to align Tigerair’s
direction with Scoot as well as to participate
in the rights issue with a larger base. As the
Tigerair’s rights issue is still in its proposal
stage, we continue to maintain our HOLD
rating with unchanged fair value estimate of
S$10.05 on SIA. (Eugene Chua)
