IGB’s new commercial REIT plan stirs excitement

by Syahirah Syed Jaafar

KUALA LUMPUR: IGB Bhd’s announcement that it is going to spin-off its commercial properties into a real estate investment trust (REIT) is a pleasant surprise and marks a step closer to realise the group’s fair value, analysts say.

Following last Thursday’s announcement, whereby IGB said the assets will comprise of nine office buildings spread over Mid Valley City and those along Jalan Tun Razak, IGB shares jumped 39 sen or 14.4% to close at a high of RM3.09, its highest since mid-February last year.

Kok Chiew Sia, a senior analyst from Singapore-based Pangolin Investment Management, whose fund Pangolin Asia Fund owns 3.03% in IGB Bhd since 2017, said they were pleasantly surprised by the news as a shareholder.

Kok noted that despite the stock’s closing price last Friday, IGB is still trading at a 75% discount to its fair value.

Public Investment Bank estimates that the commercial assets could be worth in excess of RM3 billion. “Assuming IGB is keeping a 51% stake, the listing could monetise at least RM1.5 billion for shareholders,” it said in a note last Friday. IGB currently has a 52.92% stake in IGB REIT.

Public Investment Bank also upgraded IGB to “outperform” from “neutral”, with a revised target price of RM4.70.

Kok, similarly, thinks the new REIT’s portfolio could be worth around the same amount.

She said during the privatisation of IGB Corp in 2017 by IGB Bhd (previously Goldis Bhd), the independent adviser at the time, Kenanga Investment, had appraised some of the major properties in IGB Group.

And five out of nine properties to be spun-off into the commercial REIT were valued at RM2.7 billion at the time. These are: The Gardens South Tower, The Gardens North Tower, Menara Southpoint, Menara Tan & Tan and G Tower.

“If the value still holds and by adding the other four properties into the same basket, we reckon the REIT portfolio could be worth about RM3 billion or more,” said Kok.

“However, we noticed that there are three commercial assets being excluded in this proposal, perhaps these are reserved for later injection,” she said. The three properties not included in the list, she said, are Hampshire Place, Plaza Permata and The Ampwalk.

According to Kok, IGB never revalued its assets, with the last revaluation date going back as far back as 1999 (based on its 2018 annual report).

“We think IGB shares are worth as much as RM12 per share if we are to revalue its properties. This is equivalent to a market capitalisation of US$2 billion,” she said.

IGB and partner plan to sell UK-based JV firm for RM1.27b

by Arjuna Chandran Shankar

KUALA LUMPUR: IGB Bhd, whose shares hit an all-time high yesterday, together with its partner Tower Ray Ltd, plans to sell their 50-50-owned UK-based Black Pearl Ltd, which owns a plot of freehold London land, for £235 million or RM1.27 billion.

IGB said in a bourse filing yesterday that its 50% stake in Black Pearl is held under wholly owned Verokey Sdn Bhd. “Verokey and Tower Ray, each hold a 50% stake in Black Pearl Ltd, which owns the freehold title to the land known as 18 Blackfriars Road, SE1, London,” the group said.

Verokey and Tower Ray inked a non-binding heads of terms (HoT) agreement yesterday with Hero Inc Ltd, Staycity Ltd and BSW Land and Property Ltd, who want to buy their stakes in Black Pearl.

The proposed purchase consideration is equal to Black Pearl’s net asset value, calculated on the basis of a valuation of the property, IGB said. The group, however, did not specify how the proposed consideration would be satisfied.

“The head of terms set out the understanding and intention of the Vendors and Purchasers (collectively, the parties) in respect of the proposed transaction. The head of terms are subject to inter-alia, satisfactory outcome of due diligence on the property and the proposed transaction. The head of terms provide for exclusivity for the purchasers until Feb 7, 2020,” IGB said.

“Full announcement of the proposed transaction will be made in the event the parties execute a sale and purchase agreement, which shall constitute the definitive documentation providing the details in respect of the matters broadly set out in the heads of terms,” the group added.

In Black Pearl’s planning application to the Greater London Authority that was submitted in April last year, it wants to build six buildings ranging from five to 53-storey each, on the 18 Blackfriars Road site that measures 0.80ha in total.

This redevelopment will include an office space, a 548-room hotel, 288 residential units, a flexible retail component, a restaurant, a music venue, and car parks, among others. The architect for the redevelopment was listed as Wilkinson Eyre.

No property development plan for IGB this year

PETALING JAYA: IGB Bhd, which is known for its Mid Valley City development in Kuala Lumpur, said it has no property development project plan for this year in view of the continuous difficult and challenging market.

“The group’s development projects were completed in 2019 and there are at present no plans for any new launches.

“The group will concentrate its efforts on disposing of its current stock of completed properties while at the same time planning for future launches, ” it said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday.

IGB posted a 34% decline in net profit to RM59.9mil for the fourth quarter ended Dec 31,2019, from RM92mil a year earlier.

The property group attributed the decline in profits was due to depreciation and finance costs being charged upon commencement of business of Mid Valley City Southpoint Sdn Bhd and Southkey Megamall Sdn Bhd.

Nonetheless, IGB recorded higher revenue growth of 18.4% to RM427.5mil in the fourth quarter compared to RM361.1mil previously, thanks to higher rental revenue from its new office building Menara Southpoint located at Mid Valley City as well as rental revenue from The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey which opened for business on April 23,2019.

IGB said its revenue recognition from the property development division during the current quarter decreased by 23% to RM50.3mil compared to the same period last year of RM65.5mil as its development project “Stonor 3”, a 400-unit condominium located in the vicinity of KLCC was completed in the previous quarter.

Cumulatively, its earnings for the full year of financial year 2019 (FY19) dropped by 11% to RM208.7mil from RM235.6mil a year earlier.

Revenue for the year jumped more than 10.7% to RM1.44bil from RM1.30bil recorded previously.

For its property investment segment, IGB expected it would be more challenging in the near-term with the scheduled increase in supply of new retail space and slower demand for office space in Kuala Lumpur.

“However, with the prime location of the Group’s retail malls and office buildings, the Board expects contribution from this segment to be satisfactory, ” it said.

IGB said its mall in Mid Valley Southkey, located in Johor Baru had its soft opening in April last year and is expected to contribute to the growth of the group’s retail division

IGB to list commercial REIT by year-end, raising up to RM1.23 bil

by Syahirah Syed Jaafar

KUALA LUMPUR (June 11): IGB Bhd announced today that its proposed commercial real estate investment trust (REIT) will be established by the end of this year, with the group set to raise up to RM1.23 billion through the disposal of 10 properties to the trust.

The group said the IGB Commercial REIT, comprising 2.31 billion units, will be listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia after an initial public offer (IPO).

In a filing with the exchange, IGB said the management is currently evaluating the options for the optimal use of the proceeds, which may include potential investments or repayment of borrowings.

IGB said it will dispose of the 10 properties for a total consideration of RM3.15 billion, which would be satisfied via the issuance of 2.31 billion undivided interest in the new REIT, as well as cash balance.

The 10 properties comprise seven in Mid-Valley city, namely Menara IGB, Centrepoint South, Centrepoint North, Boulevard properties, Gardens South Tower, Gardens North Tower and Southpoint properties.

The remaining three properties are Menara Tan & Tan, G-Tower and Hampshire Place, all located in Kuala Lumpur.

IGB is proposing to offer up to 1.23 billion units under the IPO, of which 945 million units are open to selected shareholders of IGB and another 282 million units to institutional and other selected investors.

Of these 945 million units, IGB is proposing a restricted offer for sale (ROFS) of up to 378 million units to the entitled shareholders on the basis of 2 ROFS units for every five ordinary shares in IGB.

It is also proposing a distribution-in-specie (DIS) of up to 567 million units to be distributed only to the entitled shareholders who are successful in the subscription of their entitlements to the ROFS units on the basis of three DIS units for every two ROFS units subscribed.

IGB REIT Management Sdn Bhd, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of IGB, is the proposed management company for the new REIT, while MTrustee Bhd is the proposed trustee.

“Barring any unforeseen circumstances and subject to all requisite approvals being obtained, the proposed REIT establishment and listing is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2020,” it said.

IGB first announced its plan to establish a new trust in November 2019. It said the exercise will allow IGB to unlock the value of its commercial property portfolio.
