NEW era begins for Li flagship on June 3 by Imogene Wong

Soon-to-be-listed Cheung Kong Property Holdings is valued at HK$420 billion, with a net asset value of HK$259.3 billion, or HK$67.18 per SHARE, according to an investor presentation made yesterday.

The group, controlled by Li Ka- shing, will begin TRADING on June 3 under stock code 1113.

Shares of Hutchison Whampoa (0013) will cease TRADING after May 26. Analysts said the listing would probably be priced with reference to peers, which means a NAV discount of about 20 to 30 percent.

Estimated turnover of the new firm was HK$46.6 billion last year, with two thirds contributed by local BUSINESSES. Earnings before interest, taxes and other fair value changes were HK$19 billion, or a 40.7 percent EBIT margin.

Local properties accounted for HK$269 billion, or 64 percent of its assets as of February. About a third is located in the mainland, while the rest are overseas, including SINGAPORE, Britain and the Bahamas.

In terms of asset class breakdown, more than half are development properties. About [b]30 percent are INVESTMENT properties[/b] and 16 percent are HOTELS AND serviced suites.

The developer also holds interests in three listed REITs and ARA Asset Management, worth a combined HK$13.1 billion, which are excluded in the firm's valuation.

The firm has more than 14,600 HOTEL ROOMS, of which 83 percent are in 14 hotels in Hong Kong mainly under Harbour Grand and Harbour Plaza brands. The market value of some of its hotel rooms in Hung Hom and Tsim Sha Tsui ranges from HK$5.78 million to HK$10.57 million per room.

Deputy chairman Victor Li Tzar-kuoi said in March that the hotel assets are still BOOKED at a very conservative value without proper revaluation.

Its predecessors, Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison, have boosted the fair value of part of the properties by over HK$30 billion last year.

He added that these assets are definitely not for sale under such cheap valuations.

Highlights of its investment properties include Cheung Kong Center in Central, which is valued at HK$27 billion, with annual rent of HK$1.51 billion.

The 1881 Heritage has a higher rental yield of 6.1 percent.

Li Ka-shing’s Property Spin Off Debuts at HK$70 in Hong Kong by Michelle Yun

Cheung Kong Property Holdings Ltd. opened at HK$70 on its first TRADING day in Hong Kong after being spun off from billionaire Li Ka-shing’s conglomerate.

It TRADED at HK$72.95 at 10:21 a.m. local time. That compares with a target price of HK$88 set by Deutsche BANK AG and HK$80 by Jefferies Group LLC.

CK Property combines REAL ESTATE assets of Li’s two main companies, which merged into CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd. last month in the biggest reorganization of his corporate empire. The real estate unit is now the second-biggest landlord in Hong Kong after Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd., with total assets valued at HK$420.1 billion ($54.2 billion).

“CK Property is a key beneficiary” of a strong residential market in Hong Kong, Deutsche Bank analysts Jason Ching and Tony Tsang said. It has the second-largest inventory of available-for-sale homes in the city this year, they wrote in a note Wednesday.

More than 60 percent of CK PROPERTY’s net assets are in Hong Kong, including Li’s flagship Cheung Kong Center, and 32 percent are in mainland China, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. The developer is one of the biggest sellers of NEW HOMES in Hong Kong, selling out two residential projects already this year. It has a 2015 sales target of HK$30 billion.

“It’s hard to see the PROPERTY market drop today,” Li told reporters on Wednesday. Construction costs in Hong Kong are double those in the U.S. and Canada, he said.
Li’s family and trust retain the biggest stake in CK PROPERTY of 30.2 percent.

CK Property’s opening price represents a 25 percent discount to analysts’ median net asset value estimate of HK$93.8 per share compiled by Bloomberg. That compares with an average 35 percent TRADING discount to net asset value for CK Property’s peers, according to JPMorgan Chase.

CK Hutchison, which holds Li’s non-property assets from ports to telecommunications, fell 1.5 percent to HK$121.10. The benchmark Hang Seng Index gained 1 percent.
Li unveiled plans to restructure his former company Cheung Kong Holdings Ltd. and its unit Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. in January, saying it would allow INVESTORS to more easily choose between a regional property business and expanding global assets in more than 50 countries.

Cheung Kong PROPERTY starts on high note

Cheung Kong Property (1113) ended at HK$74.10 on its first day of TRADING yesterday, up nearly 6 percent from the opening price of HK$70.

"The restructuring plan of CK Property and CK Hutchison is 99 percent completed," beamed chairman Li Ka-shing at Cheung Kong Center. He said he would only increase, never reduce, his stake in the company. "I am happy, while the shareholders are also joyful ... I have full confidence on the outlook of the two companies."

Analysts consider the merger plan to have successfully unlocked the value of Cheung Kong's real-estate assets, as the closing price of CK Property represented a 25 percent discount to the firm's reference net asset value per SHARE of HK$98.64.

That compares with an average 35 percent TRADING discount to net asset value for its peers, JPMorgan said.

The opening price of HK$70 is almost 50 percent higher than the reference price set for the Hang Seng Index. It also means CK Property has added 219 points alone for the benchmark index yesterday with the HSI rising 190 points.

Listed by the way of introduction, investors of CK Hutchison (0001) on May 26 were given a one-for-one exchange in CK Property shares. This translates to an overall 16 percent gain on the first day of TRADING.

Li's family and trust retain the biggest STAKE in CK Property of 30.2 percent.

"It's hard to see the property MARKET drop today," Li said yesterday, as construction costs remain high. He again called on people to buy a flat if it is for self-use and is affordable.

The highest target price of HK$88 is set by Deutsche BANK, while CLSA put it at HK$74. CK Property is now the second-biggest landlord in Hong Kong after Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), with total assets of HK$420.1 billion.

CK Hutchison, which holds Li's non-property assets from ports to telecoms, fell 4 percent to HK$118.

The conglomerate also announced yesterday it was redesignating Victor Li Tzar-kuoi to GROUP co MANAGING director from managing director. He remains deputy chairman.

Canning Fok Kin-ning has been redesignated executive director and group co-managing director from non-executive director .

CK Property fell even as investment banks have turned bullish on what is now one of Asia's largest real estate developers.

Some shareholders of what was previously known as Hutchison Whampoa might have dumped some of their shares.

UBS said CK Property have more room to raise rents than its rivals.

Credit Suisse said the firm could benefit from a recovering office market in Central where it is the second-largest landlord and could boost investment return by shoring up its local land bank.
