FIRST REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
We initiate coverage on First Real Estate Investment Trust
(First REIT) with a BUY rating and a fair value of S$1.380
based on a dividend discount model. First REIT’s 6.4% FY15F
yield is anchored by long master leases, with ~95% of the
rental income from Indonesia’s healthcare sector backed by
Lippo Karawaci and Siloam Hospitals. First REIT stands to
benefit from its sponsor’s huge asset pipeline which may
continue to offer very attractive yield.

Distribution underpinned by long master leases. First REIT
boasts of a long portfolio WALE of 10.7 years, with the first
renewal coming due only on 2017. As ~98% of the rents are priced
and paid in SGD with rental growth rates at twice Singapore CPI
growth, subject to a cap of 2% and a floor of 0%, the long master
leases offers a partial hedge against inflation.
A huge asset pipeline ahead. After acquiring 12 properties and
enlarging the portfolio nearly fourfold to S$1.2b since IPO in 2006,
we estimate that 28 more assets remain in the pipeline. Typically
acquired at high 9% to high 10% rental yield with at least 9%
discount to valuation, the acquisitions have been highly accretive
to DPU and NAV.
Asset sustainability with long lifespan. The Indonesia assets,
which constitute ~96% of property valuation, are on Hak Guna
Bangunan (Right to Build), which is essentially leasehold tenure.
Nevertheless, there is a possibility for renewal after the expiration
of the initial lease period of 30 years and an additional term of 20
years. Meanwhile, First REIT is poised to benefit from the
developments in the Indonesia healthcare market.
Initiate BUY with target of S$1.38 with more upside on
acquisitions. We see a 15% upside (incl dividends) with our DDM
-derived price target. The target price could prove to be
conservative, given that it is based only on the current portfolio of
assets. If we assume that First REIT acquires another 6 properties
with purchase and lease details (e.g. size of asset and NPI yield)
that is similar to the average of the most recent 6 acquisitions, our
target price rises to S$1.49 (23.0% upside).
