CityDev's 1Q earnings more than double to $200 mil on higher margins & Manulife Centre divestment gain
SINGAPORE (May 15): City Developments (CDL) has announced earnings of $199.6 million for the 1Q ended March, rising 133.8% from restated 1Q18 earnings of $85.3 million on strong profit margins and the realisation of a pre-tax divestment gain.The bottomline growth came despite a 29.5% y-o-y decline in revenue to $746.2 million from $1.06 billion a year ago, in the absence of revenue recognition from The Criterion executive condominium (EC) in its entirety over the previous quarter.Excluding contributions from The Criterion, the group says 1Q19 revenue would have increased by 6% due to healthy residential sales in Singapore and China.In Singapore, CDL and its joint venture (JV) associates sold 173 residential units with a total sales value of $516.3 million, as opposed to 459 units valued at $792.6 million in 1Q18, due to the higher-margin Boulevard 88 project along Orchard Boulevard.In China, the group’s wholly-owned subsidiary CDL China Limited (CDL China), together with its JV associates, sold 113 residential units and one villa in 1Q, achieving a total sales value of RMB 358.8 million ($72.0 million).Rental properties led profit growth in terms of business segments due to recent acquisitions and the divestment of Manulife Centre.This was followed by the property development segment due to key local projects such as Gramercy Park, New Futura, The Tapestry, Whistler Grand, South Beach Residences – as well as overseas projects like Hong Leong City Center in Suzhou and Hongqiao Royal Lake in Shanghai.The hotel operations segment, however, registered a loss over the quarter due to factors that include a challenging US region where it continued to be loss-making, on top of refurbishments that affected two major hotels in the group’s key gateway cities of London and Singapore, as well as higher financing costs.Over the quarter, the group also recognised a $144.3 million pre-tax gain from the divestment of Manulife Centre, which is in connection with the CDL’s second Profit Participation Securities (PPS) structure developed in 2015.“While Singapore will always remain our home ground, our overseas efforts have borne fruit and provided much needed diversification to our earnings. Although global economic and political events have led to market uncertainties, our geographically diversified and income-stable portfolio in Singapore and overseas will enable us to better navigate through these challenges. At the same time, we will continue to actively explore attractive investment opportunities to grow our business,” comments CDL’s executive chairman Kwek Leng Beng.Shares in CDL closed 0.7% higher at $8.68 on Tuesday.

These included existing residents in the East looking to purchase “an iconic property”, he adds.The freehold project’s location in prime District 15, and proximity to the Tanjong Katong MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, were also factors that drew buyers looking for projects with “good investment value”, he notes.“We are very encouraged by the strong take-up at Amber Park’s first weekend launch,” adds Chia. “Sales for this project are off to a good start, indicating healthy demand for well-located projects that are exceptionally designed.” Amber Park is designed by acclaimed architect, Chan Soo Khian, principal of SCDA Architects, who is known for many of his luxury residences and resorts.

IREIT stake acquisition provides more than just recurring income growth for CityDev, says Jefferies
SINGAPORE (May 3): Jefferies is maintaining “buy” on City Developments (CDL) with a target price of $12 based on 0.84 times book value. This follows news of the developer acquiring a 50% stake in IREIT Global’s manager, along with a 12.4% stake in the REIT from Tikehau Capital and another investor for a total consideration of $77.8 million.On completion of the acquisition, CDL and Tikehau Capital will own IREIT’s manager equally.To recap, the acquisition is part of CDL’s plans to develop a fund management business while as it winds down its profit participation securities (PPS) under the leadership of CEO Sherman Kwek. The aim is to attain $900 million in EBITDA from recurring income within 10 years.In a report on Thursday, analyst Krishna Guha says he sees the acquisition of IREIT and its manager as complementary to CDL’s existing presence in Europe, and in line with stated corporate strategy to achieve assets under management of $5 billion by 2023.“The partnership with Tikehau will help source investment opportunities in Europe and grow AUM. The stake complements [CDL’s] presence in Europe. It has exposure to hotels and offices through CDL HT and First Sponsor Group, and potential partnership/consolidation may not be ruled out,” says Guha.Furthermore, the analyst notes how the price of the deal at 76 cents per unit represents a 1.33% premium over IREIT’s 29 April closing price of 75 cents. The pricing for CDL’s stake in the trust manager also comes at a slight premium, he adds, versus that of the recent merger deal between ESR-REIT and Viva Industrial Trust.“ESR paid $62 million for annualised fee of $8.2 million or about 7.5 times versus 9.5 times for IREIT trust manager. The stake in trust manager will be equity accounted for and the stake in IREIT will be a financial investment. Management feels that current stake in REIT and the trust manager is strategic and the levels are appropriate. It is mindful of not consolidating the REIT in view of the current accounting regime,” notes the analyst.“We like the group's effort to grow fund management platform and expand its network of capital partners. The deal is in line with few consolidation related transactions that we have seen in recent times… The group conservatively holds investment properties at cost. While the residential segment in Singapore is slow, Singapore residential accounts for less than 15% of group RNAV,” he adds.As at 2.52am, shares in CDL are down by 3 cents at $8.97 while IREIT units are trading 1.94% lower at 76 cents.

CityDev acquires $27.5 mil site in Leeds to develop 664-unit build-to-rent project
SINGAPORE (Mar 4): City Developments (CDL) is expanding into the rapidly-growing UK private rented sector (PRS) with the acquisition of a £15.4 million ($27.5 million) freehold site from Alpha Real Trust.Located at Monk Bridge in Leeds, the site is about a 10-minute walk to the Leeds Train Station and two kilometres to the Leeds City Centre which comprises the financial, civic, shopping and cultural quarters.CDL plans to develop a 664-unit build-to-rent residential project with retail space located within the site’s attractive heritage arches beneath a viaduct. The project is expected to be completed in 2023 at an estimated total development cost of $250 million. Net yield is expected to be 5.0% annually.In addition, a public park will be developed on the viaduct, providing spaces for public functions, outdoor film screenings, pop-up restaurants and a pedestrian walkway leading to the the train station and city centre. Residents will enjoy private gardens, a sports area within the estate, leisure and retail facilities at their doorstep, and a wide range of services including concierge, parcel collection and a car sharing rental scheme.Full planning permission has been obtained for the site which has a residential and commercial Net Lettable Area of around 386,000 sf and 16,000 sf respectively. The acquisition price translates to about $142 psf for the 193,752 sf site.Sherman Kwek, CDL group CEO, says, “Expanding into the UK PRS is in line with our strategy to grow CDL’s recurring income. Due to increased labour mobility and the growing popularity of renting, we see strong growth potential for this sector. Moreover, the PRS is a key part of the government’s agenda to solve the UK’s housing supply-demand imbalance. Brexit is expected to have limited impact on this sector as demand is mainly driven by locals.”To enhance recurring income, CDL last year acquired two prime Grade A London commercial properties for approximately $1.02 billion. The two freehold buildings, 125 Old Broad Street (the former Stock Exchange Tower) and Aldgate House, are poised to benefit from the tightening of London’s existing office stock and limited new supply which will drive rental growth.As at 10.03am, shares in CDL are down 13 cents at $8.68.
