Half Year Result
Price Target: $1.83/sh
Investment Case:
FRI has reported a first half result in line with our expectations at $11m NPAT. We
are looking for a stronger second half of $17m on the way to $28m full year, our
unchanged full year forecast. The ultimate result will be a function of sales rates on two
large projects at Toccata and Subi Stand. In 2016 and beyond the pipeline supports
a return to growth, with applicable presales robust to date. That said, sentiment is
weak and the media vocal in relation to potential supply, notwithstanding that not
all supply will get built. As a consequence FRI lacks obvious catalysts. In our view
however FRI, as low cost producer will retain market share through the cycle, and is
supported by a current 7% yield. Buy maintained.
Key Points:
•
FRI has reported a first half NPAT of $11m. We were looking for $10m and we
have no reason to amend our current full year NPAT forecast looking for $28m.
•
The ultimate result will be a function of sales rates on two large projects at Subi
Stand and Toccata. These projects will see construction complete in the next
few months after which sales activity will recommence in earnest.
•
In the meantime sales activity in off the plan product, which will impact 2016
and 2017, has been robust, and FRI now has pre-sales contracts worth $428m, a
healthy position.
•
The business has cash of $49m with a further $20m to come after settlement of
the Gateway building in Victoria Park in March 2015.
•
As a consequence of the sale of this building our forecast rental income for 2016
decreases and our forecasts for 2016 reduce from $33.9m to $30.9m. The balance
sheet improves however by the $20m in cash realised and FRI can generate a
return on this capital in future years beyond the income lost.
•
In 2016, we see resumed growth off a lower base as remaining Toccata and Subi
Strand product is settled together with new projects i) Norwood, ii) Springs
Arbor North, iii) Unison in Maylands and iiii) Linq in Northbridge.
•
As always, FRI is subject to construction and settlement timetables which may
impact earnings half over half and even year over year, and this may well be a
feature of 2015 and 2016.
•
That said, notwithstanding some recent negative press and speculation around
apartment supply and a cooling WA economy, we continue to believe:
1. Perth is fundamentally under supplied in terms of apartment choice
compared to many other cities of similar size,
•
2.
Not all the current supply on offer “off the plan” will get built,
3.
Apartment living will become an increasingly accepted housing alternative
in Perth as the city continues to grow and
4.
As low cost producer with proven delivery capability, FRI is well placed to
maintain its healthy market share.

Revenue forecast
Revenues per the above will not equate to reported revenues due to equity accounted
developments. This does not impact our view of reported profits
We note:
•
We see reduced earnings in 2015 a consequence of our conservative sales
assumptions on the Subiaco and Toccata projects.
•
We see further growth in 2016 as three new projects, i) Norwood, ii) the Springs
Arbor North, iii) the Linq project in Northbridge and iiii) Unison project in
Maylands complete and settle. Presales on these projects have been steady and
construction on all three have commenced or will do so shortly.
•
In 2017 the massive Concerto project (currently under construction) completes
and in general the pipeline of available opportunities is robust and growing.

Headwinds
•
It is clear the number of new apartment buildings available for investors to
consider has increased.
•
Whether these opportunities are ultimately built is a function of achieving the
necessary presales to enable the project to be banked.
•
In addition, as the mining boom unwinds, rent rates are decreasing and this may
impact investor appetite.
•
Finally, the media is talking up all of the above which does not help sentiment
generally.
Mitigation
•
We continue to believe that the market will sensibly address the supply and
demand equation, as the nature of presales required to finance a project acts as
a supply brake of sorts over the medium term.
•
This is not to suggest short term peaks in supply may not occur from time to time,
particularly if a number of marginal projects scape over the presales threshold
at the same time potentially resulting in an excess of supply upon completion.
•
When this happens new supply doesn’t receive presales, the excess supply is
eventually cleaned out, and the cycle resumes.
Long term
•
Finbar continues to be one of the low cost producers in the WA market with a
proven track record of delivery.
•
We also continue to believe Finbar product will see a sustained share of the
available demand, demand we believe will increase over the medium to long
term as WA residents look for alternative living arrangements in a sprawling city.
The case precedent for this in other growing cities in clear.
•
Short term demand will likely moderate as rents reduce and investors potentially
slow however ultimately we see a city continuing to grow over time that is
fundamentally underserviced in terms of apartment living.
Investment Thesis
•
Investment sentiment as it pertains to WA is clearly poor as the mining
construction cycle ends and low commodities prices create job and economic
uncertainty.
•
Finbar is not immune from this and we see no immediate catalysts, particularly
as, Finbar has been unable to be definitive in terms of 2015 earnings with the half
year result. This is because timing on the sale of remaining product at Subiaco
and Toccata is unknown.
•
That said, we see pipeline the of opportunity as sufficiently robust to maintain
and ultimately increase the dividend even as earnings fluctuate somewhat with
timing of projects and FRI currently yields 7.7% fully franked.
•
We see this as a floor, and while catalysts are skinny and consequently FRI may do
some further time over the next 6 months at current levels, we continue to like
the business, its track record and management.
•
In the meantime the stock trades at 10.6x our reduced 2015 forecasts, hardly
demanding.
•
We maintain our Buy recommendation with a long term view, despite some
potential short term earnings fluidity.
