In June, PLife REIT has completed the pre-emptive refinancing exercise to ensure it has no refinancing needs for its existing debt portfolio until FY2014. It has put in place a four-year S$80.0 million committed and unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Facility”) to term out short-term loan facilities. Concurrently, the Facility has been utilised to pre-emptively purchase and cancel S$35.75 million of the outstanding S$50 million Floating Rate Notes (“FRN”) maturing in FY2013. The S$14.25 million of the FRN will be term out using the Facility when the FRN falls due in March 2013. Attributed to its prudent financial risk management, PLife REIT has not been affected by the volatility in Japanese Yen exchange rate in FY2012. PLife REIT’s natural hedge strategy adopted since its first investment in Japan in 2008 to borrow loans denominated in Japanese Yen for its investments in Japan insulates it from exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. In 1Q 2012, in view of the increasingly volatile Japanese Yen exchange rate, PLife REIT has pro-actively extended its Japanese Yen denominated net income forward hedge for another five years till 1Q 2017. These proactive financial risk management measures have strengthened PLife REIT’s resiliency against foreign exchange risks, thereby enabling it to maintain a stable net asset value and distributable income to Unitholders. As at 31 December 2012, PLife REIT’s gearing level stood at a healthy 32.9%. With a “BBB” investment grade credit rating from Fitch Ratings and further debt headroom of S$322.9 million before reaching gearing level of 45%, PLife REIT’s robust balance sheet strengthens its resilience against market uncertainties and provides it with access to attractively-priced funding to support its future growth.
