We recently met with management and came away well-assured on the near-term outlook of the REIT. While the hotel segment leaves much Loong Kok Wen, CFA to be desired, our view on KLCCSS is still positive given its stable office +603 9280 8861 segment that seems largely unperturbed by the supply glut in the market, and [email protected] the promising outlook of its retail segment post-reconfiguration of the former- Parkson space, which should unlock value. Promising outlook for the retail segment. With Parkson closing its outlet in Suria KLCC in Mar 2019, the space it once occupied has now been divided into smaller lots, each measuring <10,000 sqf – suitable for specialty stores encompassing a diversified mix of tenants in fashion, cosmetics and food & Share Performance (%) beverage segments. Management guided that the mix will comprise 80-100 of YTD 1m 3m 6m 12m both local and exclusive, international “first-to-market” names. The Absolute 6.1 (0.2) 0.4 4.5 5.3 transformation of 80% of the total NLA – comprising the area at the ground Relative 11.9 0.8 5.7 8.9 17.3 floor, first floor and half of the second floor – is expected to complete by Dec 52-wk Price low/high (MYR) 7.41 - 8.48 2019, while the remaining 20% (remaining half of the second floor) will be completed in mid-2020. We remain upbeat on this reconfiguration, as smaller- sized tenants generally command higher rental psf. KLCCP Stapled (KLCCSS MK) Price Close Stable income contribution from office segment. Despite the ever- 8.5 threatening oversupply in the office segment in the market, we expect 8.0 minimal downside risk for KLCCP Stapled as three of five of its prime Grade- 7.5 A office buildings ie Petronas Twin Towers, Menara 3 Petronas and Menara 7.0 Dayabumi, are on a triple net lease with Petronas, and enjoying long-term 6.5 leases as well as full occupancy. Note that 40% of Menara ExxonMobil is also 6.0 occupied by one of the subsidiaries of Petronas, and hence, tenancy for this Jul-19 building is also relatively stable. Oct-18 Jan-19 Apr-19 Mar-19 Jun-19 Feb-19 Sep-18 Dec-18 Nov-18 Aug-19 May-19 Staying cautious with the hotel segment. Management has not seen a strong pick-up in average room rate (ARR) over the years for Mandarin Source: Bloomberg Oriental. KLCCSS plans to capitalise on the re-launch of its newly-refurbished rooms and further encourage growth for this segment with initiatives also in place for its F&B segment. We remain cautious on the hotel segment as business activities are likely to remain soft given sluggish market conditions, coupled with increasing competition from new 5-star hotels nearby as well as alternative accommodation options. Revising earnings forecast and TP by 1-2%. We make minor adjustments in our earnings forecast to reflect the incremental rental from the reconfigured Parkson space. Correspondingly, our DDM-based TP is increased to MYR8.62 following our earnings revision. A downside risk to the stock is the prolonged weakening of local consumer sentiment. r Forecasts and Valuation Dec-17 Dec-18 Dec-19F Dec-20F Dec-21F Total turnover (MYRm) 1,367 1,406 1,420 1,456 1,488 Net property income (MYRm) 1,011 1,049 1,052 1,103 1,127 Reported net profit (MYRm) 671 698 725 766 786 Total distributable income (MYRm) 671 698 725 766 786 DPS (MYR) 0.36 0.37 0.38 0.41 0.42 DPS growth (%) 1.4 2.4 3.8 5.6 2.5 P/BV (x) 1.13 1.08 1.08 1.08 1.08 Dividend Yield (%) 4.4 4.6 4.7 5.0 5.1 Return on average equity (%) 4.5 4.6 4.7 4.9 5.0 Return on average assets (%) 3.8 3.8 3.9 4.1 4.2 Gross Gearing (%) 12.7 14.4 14.3 14.2 14.1 Source: Company data, RHB See important disclosures at the end of this report 1 Market Dateline / PP 19489/05/2019 (035080) KLCCP Stapled Malaysia Visit Note 24 September 2019 Property | REITs Financial Exhibits Asia Financial summary Dec-17 Dec-18 Dec-19F Dec-20F Dec-21F Malaysia Recurring EPS (MYR) 0.37 0.40 0.42 0.44 0.45 REIT EPS (MYR) 0.40 0.40 0.42 0.44 0.45 KLCCP Stapled REIT DPS (MYR) 0.36 0.37 0.38 0.41 0.42 KLCCSS MK BVPS (MYR) 7.22 7.55 7.55 7.55 7.55 Weighted avg adjusted shares (m) 1,805.33 1,734.84 1,734.84 1,734.84 1,734.84 Valuation basis Valuation metrics Dec-17 Dec-18 Dec-19F Dec-20F Dec-21F Dividend discount model.
