Axis REIT’s (AXREIT) 2QFY23 realised net profit again came in weaker than expected at RM33.6m (-21.3% YoY, +3.8% QoQ). In 1HFY23, Group net profit of RM70.4m (-11.7% YoY) only constituted about 44% and 43% of our and consensus full year estimates. The earnings miss were mainly due to lower occupancy for Axis Shah Alam Distribution Centre 3 from one of the tenancies that expired in December 2022, termination of lease agreement with Yongnam Engineering Sdn Bhd (the lessee of Axis Steel Centre @ SiLC) and higher costs incurred due to on-going development projects and major enhancement implemented during the year. As such, we adjusted our FY23-24 downwards by 4%/4%/6% after revising our occupancy assumptions and higher costs. Group portfolio size remained unchanged at 62 properties valued at RM4.4bn, with 48 properties fully occupied. Space under management is about 12.7m while financing ratio is currently at 34%. Portfolio occupancy is at 89% with weighted average lease expiry of 4.96 years. Maintain Neutral call with DDM-derived TP unchanged at RM1.96.
