Suntec Real Estate Investment Trust Annual Report 2014 Suntec Real Estate Investment Trust Annual Report 2014 CELEBRATING TEN YEARS OF SUCCESS OUR MISSION Forging ahead to create, provide and deliver premium value to all stakeholders of Suntec REIT. The world’s preeminent sparkling wine, Champagne is the result of a unique process of cultivation perfected over centuries. The essence of its value and exclusivity lies in the premium grapes grown only amid the terroirs of the Champagne region of France, a secondary fermentation process that gives rise to its distinctive bubbles, and a combination of grape varieties that is unique to each Champagne house. Suntec REIT is equally meticulous in cultivating its portfolio, from selecting quality and well located assets to solid fundamentals with growth potential. The result is a legacy of stable and sustainable return to our stakeholders.

As at 31 December 2014, Suntec REIT’s portfolio comprises office and retail properties in Suntec City, Park Mall, a one-third interest in One Raffles Quay and a one-third interest in Marina Bay Financial Centre Towers 1 and 2 and the Marina Bay Link Mall, all strategically located in the growth corridors of Marina Bay and the Civic and Cultural District within Singapore’s Central Business District. Suntec REIT also owns a 60.8 percent interest in Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre. Suntec REIT holds a 100.0 percent interest in a commercial building located at 177 Pacific Highway, North Sydney Australia which is currently under development. Suntec REIT is managed by an external manager, ARA Trust Management (Suntec) Limited (the “Manager”). The Manager is focused on delivering regular and stable distributions to Suntec REIT’s unitholders, and to achieve long-term growth in the asset value of Suntec REIT, so as to provide unitholders with a competitive rate of return on their investment. ABOUT ARA TRUST MANAGEMENT (SUNTEC) LIMITED Suntec REIT is managed by ARA Trust Management (Suntec) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARA Asset Management Limited (“ARA”), Asia’s premier integrated real estate fund manager which is listed on the Main Board of the SGX-ST since November 2007. ARA currently manages real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and private real estate funds that are invested in the office, retail, logistics/industrial, hospitality and residential sectors in the Asia Pacific region, complemented by its in-house real estate management services and advisory services.

The Manager is responsible for the management and administration of Suntec REIT, as well as the implementation of Suntec REIT’s strategic long-term growth. 1 Nurturing optimal GROWTH Creating the finest Champagne begins with the quality of the grapes and hand-picking them at the peak moment of ripeness when acidity and sugar are in balance. At Suntec REIT, we apply the same degree of precision and knowledge to the acquisition and management of premium assets, creating a strong foundation for stable and sustainable growth. Crafting maximum VALUE A seasoned Champagne master crafts cuvées from a skilful blend of three dominant grape varieties to create wines of consistent quality. Through proactive asset management, asset enhancement, prudent capital management and seeking growth opportunities, Suntec REIT has refined its strategy of creating value. Delivering premium RESULTS It takes careful nurturing, professional care and diligent effort to create a fine vintage Champagne. The resulting golden bubbles is akin to the team’s passion and dedication to deliver premium value to our unitholders in the first decade of our journey.

CELEBRATING A DECADE OF ACHIEVEMENTS 2014 marked a significant milestone for Suntec REIT as we commemorated our 10th anniversary. The first ten years has been an exciting and rewarding journey for our stakeholders. Suntec REIT’s portfolio grew from a single property asset to five properties with our Assets Under Management (“AUM”) growing from S$2.2 billion in 2004 to S$8.8 billion as at end December 2014, making us the second largest REIT by AUM on the Singapore Stock Exchange. With our mission of “Forging ahead to create, provide and deliver premium value to all stakeholders”, we have remained disciplined and steadfast in our focus. In June 2012, we embarked on a major asset enhancement initiative (“AEI”) to reposition and revitalise the Suntec City retail mall (“Suntec City”) and upgrade Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre (“Suntec Singapore”) to a world class, state-of-the-art convention and exhibition centre. The remaking of Suntec City entailed extensive closure of parts of Suntec City in phases. This resulted in a temporary decline in our retail revenue the last two and a half years. Phases 1 and 2 of the AEI were completed in June 2013 and June 2014 respectively and we are nearing completion of the final phase. Notwithstanding this major AEI, Suntec REIT delivered a total distribution per unit (“DPU”) of 93.5 cents and a total return of 189.5% to our unitholders in the first ten years of our journey. On the capital management front, we have raised a total of S$9 billion of financing since our initial public offering. Driven by management’s strategy of prudent and proactive capital management, our strong track record in raising finance is a testament to the strong fundamentals of our underlying assets. ROBUST FINANCIAL AND OPERATING PERFORMANCE FOR FY 2014 For the year ended 2014, I am pleased to report that Suntec REIT’s gross revenue and net property income of S$282.4 million and S$191.6 million were 20.6% and 28.9% higher year-on-year respectively. This was due to the opening of Suntec City Phase 1 and Suntec Singapore in the second half of 2013. In FY 2014, we achieved a distributable income of S$230.3 million which was 9.1% higher year-on-year. This was mainly due to the higher net property income attained following the completion of Phases 1 and 2 of the AEI, increased contribution from Suntec Singapore and income received from 177 Pacific Highway in North Sydney, the latter which is currently under development. Amidst the on-going AEI, we continued to deliver a stable DPU of 9.4 cents for 2014 which was a slight increase of 0.8% year-on-year.

  • AEW Asia Research Perspective Q215 in Progress .Indd
    GENERAL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW Globally the economy is expanding at a moderate pace and key commodity prices AEW Asia Research Perspective Q2 2015 are much lower than they were at the beginning of the year. Growth expectations for 2016 and 2017 were broadly unchanged over the quarter while near-term global growth is expected to be slightly lower than initially anticipated. The Asian Development Bank is projecting growth of 2.8% in 2015 increasing to about 3.2% per annum over the following two years. Looking forward, global activity should be supported by continued low commodity prices and generally still-benign fi nancing conditions, notwithstanding the expected modest tightening in U.S. monetary policy. In the second half of 2015, it is likely that we will see a divergence in central bank policy in the major economies. In the U.S. it is widely expected the Federal Reserve will raise the Federal Funds Rate before the end of the year, perhaps as early as their September meeting. This is an important event for global capital markets as it will mark the Federal Reserve’s fi rst rate increase since 2006, and the fi rst increase since the policy rate hit zero at the end of 2008. Meanwhile, we anticipate that other central banks, such as the Bank of Japan and European Central Bank, will continue their highly accommodative monetary policies until at least the end of the year. In line with this central banks in the Fund’s target markets are also easing. Most notably the Bank of Korea reduced its policy rate to 1.5%, a record low, while the Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) is loosening its policy stance with lower benchmark interest rates and lower reserve requirement ratios.
