Company Update Malaysia 22 July 2019 Property | REITS Al-Salam REIT (SALAM MK) Neutral (Maintained) Mixed Outlook Ahead Target Price (Return) MYR0.90 (-1%) Price: MYR0.91 Market Cap: USD126m Avg Daily Turnover (MYR/USD) 0.07m/0.94m We resume coverage on Al-Salam REIT with NEUTRAL recommendation Analyst and TP of MYR0.90, 1% downside. We believe the outlook of its key asset – Komtar JBCC – has changed due to competition from new malls in Johor Muhammad Syafiq Bahru. With the absence of its anchor tenant, Metrojaya, we believe the +603 9280 8867 REIT’s earnings will be supported by the newly acquired QSR properties, and [email protected] full-year contribution from Mydin Gong Badak. Komtar JBCC. We expect Komtar JBCC’s revenue to drop this year, mainly due to lower occupancy rate of 62% (vs 95% in FY18) as a result of the departure of its anchor tenant – Metrojaya at end-2018. Metrojaya previously occupied 30% of the mall’s NLA, while the mall contributed 3% of the REIT’s revenue in FY18. The ex-Metrojaya area is now undergoing reconfiguration to create more space for mini anchor tenants and speciality stores, as these Share Performance (%) tenants typically command higher rental rate psf. YTD 1m 3m 6m 12m Competition – the key challenge. Komtar JBCC has not benefited from the Absolute 11.2 (4.3) 2.9 11.9 0.6 spillover of footfall despite being located next to City Square. We are also Relative 12.4 (5.5) 0.4 12.6 2.5 cautious on the overall prospects of Komtar JBCC given competition from 52-wk Price low/high (MYR) 0.77 - 0.94 new malls in Johor Bharu. Paradigm Mall, Johor Bahru – opened in late 2017 – is about 12km away from Komtar JBCC. The mall has a strong occupancy rate of 93%, and total NLA of c.697 sqf. Meanwhile, the newly opened Midvalley Southkey Megamall, only 6km away from Komtar JBCC, commenced operations in April, with total NLA of 1.5m sqf and committed occupancy of 85%. Given the sizes and tenant mix of these two new malls, we believe they would exert additional pressure to Komtar JBCC’s rental reversion moving forward considering that 75% of its tenants are up for renewal next year. Mydin’s first full-year contribution. The acquisition of Mydin Gong Badak was completed in September last year at a purchase consideration of MYR155m – fully funded via borrowings. The acquisition is yield accretive to the REIT of c.6.4%, and contributed about MYR3.5m of revenue in FY18. Meanwhile, the REIT also recently completed another batch of acquisitions – Source: Bloomberg 17 QSR properties in March. We believe the full-year contribution of Mydin, and new QSR properties would help cushion the absence of income from Metrojaya in Komtar JBCC. Gearing near the roof. Post-completion of the acquisition of 17 QSR properties in 1Q19, the REIT’s gearing has reached 48%. As another five QSR properties are targeted to be acquired in September, its gearing may rise to 49%. We believe this is at a critical level, as the REIT might hit the gearing limit of 50%, in the event Komtar JBCC suffers negative revaluation. Thus, we do not rule out the potential of share placement going forward. NEUTRAL. Our DDM-based TP of MYR0.90 is based on 95% dividend payout, and 1% terminal growth rate. We resume coverage on the REIT – our previous recommendation was Buy and TP of MYR1.20.
