Complete value chain player with strong niche markets in Singapore, China and Australia Optimising risk and return with geographical and business diversification, strong balance sheet to support value creation activities Initiate with BUY and TP of S$2.08
business exposure that includes both emerging/developed markets and recurrent/development income, offer investors a stable cashflow base with good upside growth potential at optimal risk. This translates to superior core returns metrics of 8-9% ROE when compared to peers. Furthermore, with a strong balance sheet, the group is well placed to undertake value creating activities on its investment property portfolio, with a view to unlocking value in the medium term through its REIT platform. FCL has a good track record in reading the residential market trends, particularly in Singapore and this will stand it in good stead to restock inventory going forward.
Recommend BUY with a TP of S$2.08. We like FCL for its commanding niche in its key markets of Singapore, China and Australia and strong pre-sales that provides a very visible earnings stream over the next 2-3 years. Its sturdy balance sheet will enable the group to reinvest for future growth, as well as undertake value creation activities in its current portfolio. Key risk is its small free float, with major shareholders, TCC Group and Thai Beverage holding a total 87.9%, which we believe can be addressed in the longer run.

It has a total assets size of $11.5b as at 1QFY14. Peer Asset and Market Cap Comparison
Good mix of developed and emerging market exposure to optimise risk and growth profile. The group’s footprint spans across developed economies of Singapore, Australia and UK, where it makes up 86% of GAV and generates 96% of PBIT. Its assets are located in key gateway cities in these countries thus, providing a stable base of income and value for the group.

Breakdown of 1QFY14 PBIT by Business Segment
High pre-sales, strong brand visibility. FCL has a strong brand visibility in Singapore under “Frasers Centrepoint Homes” brand and has garnered a strong market share over the past few years. Based on units sold in the primary market, we reckon FCL’s market share had been growing from 11% in FY11 to 13+% in FY13. This had enabled the group to lock in significant presales, to be progressively recognised over the next 2-3 years. The group had an unrecognised residential revenue balance of S$2.1bn in Singapore as at end 1QFY14.

Residential Residential activities will continue to be the major contributor to group earnings and growth. It accounted for 74% of PBIT as at 1QFY14 and we expect this segment of contributions to remain above the 70% mark over the next 2-3 years. FCL has a total of 10,841 residential units under development and a further 22.93m sf GFA of land bank spread over Singapore, Australia, China and other countries. The land holdings can provide a potential inventory of 12,797 units. The gross development value of its land holdings is estimated at S$6.9bn, of which FCL’s attributable stake is S$4.47bn.

FCL has a long track record of developing properties in Singapore and overseas. This diversified strategy had enabled the group to balance the fluctuations in home sales in Singapore and overseas.

Going forward, FCL has a remaining 0.25m sf of GFA to be launched. The first to be marketed will be RiverTrees, by end Feb 14. We estimate a breakeven cost of c.S$950-1,000psf of saleable area. Based on transacted prices in the vicinity of S$1,000-1,100psf, we reckon, the group can rake in 10-15% PBT margin. The recent launch of UOL’s Riverbank nearby, averaging $1,000psf, was well received with an estimated 40% of the entire project taken up within 2 weeks of launch. We expect RiverTrees to receive a warm response as well.

Company Focus Frasers Centrepoint Ltd In terms of land banking, the group is looking at selectively building their land inventory. Its recent win of the mixed development parcel at Yishun Central for c$1.43bn has increased the group’s residential land bank by an estimated 796,021sf of residential GFA, based upon a 60% residential usage. The remaining 40% is slated for retail space.
China Early mover, low land cost. FCL was one of the first movers into the China residential market. As at end 1QFY14, China made up c7% of FCL’s gross asset value. It has 1,061 residential units that are currently being built and a land bank that can house another 8,766 homes. Its residential projects in China are largely in Suzhou (Baitang ) and Shanghai (Gemdale City), in which the group has a 45% share. We expect the early acquisition of these sites and the subsequent appreciation in home prices in the country to enable the group to generate robust returns from these projects. For example, ASP for Baitang is RMB13,000psm compared to its land cost of RMB2,508psm ppr. Development and Sale Status of Ongoing Projects in China Project

The latter came mainly from Central Park and Putney Hill in Sydney and Queens Riverside in Perth. Two phases, One Central Park and Park Lane, received good take-up at an average selling price of A$1,100-1,200psf. We reckon the Australian landbank is sufficient to last the group another 4-5 years.

We reckon the existing landbank of 8,766 units should last the group over the next 7-8 years.
FCL has established a complete value chain model for its investment property business unit, as a property developer, owner, operator and REIT manager. FCL has a portfolio of commercial and retail properties, held directly and through its REITs. FCL directly owns an attributable 961,832sf of retail space, 991,885sf of office and 704,857sf of industrial space in Singapore, Australia, China and Vietnam, valued at a total of c.S$3.7bn, as well as another 3.5msf valued S$3.8b worth of assets through its two REITs.
Growth in this segment can be derived from both enhancing existing properties as well as recycling and reinvesting capital Australia is also FCL’s core market, making up 5% of FCL’s gross asset into new developments. value.

Company Focus Frasers Centrepoint Ltd directly held portfolio of assets. We see this as a potential catalyst to unlock significant value from its current portfolio. We estimate the directly held portfolio is currently generating an effective blended NPI yield of c4%, based on annualising 1QFY14 rental PBIT of cS$20.3m. We believe this return can be raised with benefits of asset enhancements on the properties. Likewise, the under-rentedness is reflected in the current valuations of some of its assets, which in some cases, are, we believe, below replacement cost. Upgrading these properties can only provide more upside to boost the NAV of the group. Among its portfolio, we believe the group’s downtown assets such as The Centrepoint, Robertson Walk and Valley Point, which are currently commanding average rents of S$5.239.90psf/mth, has good upside potential as their market rents are significantly below its comparable peers in the vicinity such as Plaza Singapura, Paragon, Mandarin Gallery as well as ION Orchard, ranging between $15-28psf/mth. Moreover, upgrading these properties could make it more attractive as potential assets to be injected into its REIT platforms in the longer run.

Waterway Point, in which FCL owns a one third share, is part of a mixed 542,489sf GFA retail and 992-unit residential development. The development is expected to complete by 2017. The residential component has been largely pre-sold. The commercial site at Cecil St/Telok Ayer St, purchased for c$924m or $1,112psf ppr, is slated for an office development with 830,572sf. We estimate a cost on completion of $1,2001,300psf ppr. Assuming an office rent of $7-8psf/mth when completed by 2017, the net yield on cost works out to be 45%. The Yishun land parcel was purchased for a total $1.43b. The 442,238sf site can house up to 1,326,714sf GFA of which 60% is slated for residential. The site is located next to the present Northpoint and potential for creating seamless connectivity to the existing shopping mall exists, thus potentially creating one of the largest mall in the northern part of Singapore.
REIT and fee income FCL has put in place its capital recycling model by setting up its REIT platform.

In addition, the hospitality business currently generates a ROA of c1.9% (derived by annualising 1QFY14 PATMI of $8.5m and measured against GAV of $1.83b). By growing through management contracts and adopting a more asset light model, this will further enhance ROE and ROA going forward.

Company Focus Frasers Centrepoint Ltd Potential to leverage on major shareholder
Financials
TCC Group and Thai Beverage Ltd are the major shareholders of FCL, with a total 87.9% stake. With a strong alignment of interest, in the longer run, the prospect of working together with TCC exists.
We project FCL’s PATMI (ecxl revals and one-off items) to grow by 7.6% and 19.6% in FY14 and FY15 from $401.1m in FY13. The growth will be underpinned by largely by development profits as well as better rental and serviced residence earnings.
TCC’s portfolio includes 8.1msf of office space, 5.1msf of retail space and over 10,300 hotel keys. TCC has granted FCL the first right of refusal for any opportunity to invest in, develop or manage TCC’s property assets and a right to participate in any bidding process with respect to TCC’s property assets globally, except Thailand. At present, with the exception of hospitality assets, TCC Group’s retail and commercial properties are largely located in Thailand.
FCL offers superior ROE metrics amongst its peers with a projected 7.7% and 8.8% and ROA of 5.1-5.4%. We believe the good balance of recurrent and development income will form a strong cashflow base for the group. Based on annualising 1QFY14 REIT and fee income from REIT and service residence management activities, we estimate that the group can generate some $104-120m of net-of-tax recurring cashflow. This is equivalent to an estimated EPS of 3.64Scts/share p.a. and provides a firm 1.7-2% ROE base to the group. Further upside in these metrics will come from the strong flow of locked-in contributions from property development activities. Our numbers have not assumed any potential asset enhancement activities on its investment properties that would elevate returns on these properties when completed.

Balance sheet remains robust with a 50% net debt to equity ratio as at 1QFY14. We estimate FCL’s gearing level to hover around 50-60% over the next two years with the progressive payment of the Yishun land parcel and capex for development of new investment properties on hand.

Company Focus Frasers Centrepoint Ltd Valuation and recommendation We have used the sum of parts methodology to derive the RBAV estimate for FCL. We have marked to market its directly owned investment properties and serviced residence, estimated the development surplus from its Singapore, China and Australia residential projects and ascribed a 15x PE multiple to the group’s fee income business. This translates to a RNAV estimate of $2.98/share. Our target price of $2.08 for FCL is premised on a 30% discount to RNAV, similar to the level of discount applied to other big cap developers.
its core markets of Singapore, China and Australia while a mix of developed and emerging markets exposure as well as balance of development and recurring income and strong locked in presales, provides a stable income profile with strong income visibility going forward. The key risk at this point is the small free float of the stock, as TCC Group and Thai Beverage owns a total 87.9% of the stock. We believe this issue can be addressed in the medium term and can only result in upside for the stock as the stock price gap vs its asset backing narrows due to greater liquidity and free float.
We recommend BUY on FCL with 41% upside to our TP of $2.08. We like the group’s ability to establish a strong niche in Peer Comparison Table FYE Company
