IOI Properties’ high gearing may swell with Shenton House project; shares down though analysts stay bullish.😔

Posted by dragon328 > 1 month ago | Report Abuse

IOIPG has no issue of high gearing, it is more like certain parties' bad mouthing of the company's success in IOI Resorts City and Singapore CBD projects.

Assuming IOIPG acquires a 100% stake in Shenton 101, the acquisition cost would amount to SGD1.01bn, while net gearing is estimated to increase to 88.8% from 73.3% as at 31 Mar 2024. While there are persistent concerns among investors on the elevated net gearing level of IOIPG, I think investors should not be overly concerned about this. Firstly, IOIPG is expected to recognize substantial revaluation gains upon the completion of IOI Central Boulevard in September 2024, which should lower its net gearing. For instance, if IOICB is valued at the minimum SGD5.0 billion, IOIPG would book in a revaluation gain of SGD1.0 billion which will increase shareholders’ funds and reduce the net gearing ratio to 77% from 88.8%. A revaluation to SGD6.0 billion would lower the net gearing to 68%. Secondly, the group’s property investment and hotel assets are strong cash flow generators, which should help to service interest and debt repayments. For 9M FY2024, IOIPG registered almost RM250 million of segmental profits for its Property Investment segment. Added back depreciation charges of about RM50m, operating cashflows generated from Property Investment amounts to RM300m in 9 months, annualized to RM400 million. When IOICB is completed and tenanted out, potential gross rental income may top SGD200 million a year. Therefore, total rental income from investment properties may top RM1.0 billion a year.

Furthermore, when Shenton House is redeveloped and tenanted out, potential gross rental income may be about 503,000 sf x 80% NLA x SGD14.00 psf x 12 months = SGD68 million a year. At the same valuation of 3%-4% yield, Shenton House may be valued at SGD1.7b – SGD2.2b. Injecting Shenton House into the Singapore REIT would bring in cash proceeds of SGD850 million to SGD1.1 billion to IOIPG. This would bring down the Group’s net gearing ratio from 77% (assuming IOICB valued at SGD5.0b) further to 63%. If IOICB is revalued to SGD6.0 billion, then net gearing will fall further to 56%.

i guess ioipg will have little option than to accept the offer to take up shenton house deal, as otherwise CEO will be in an awkward position of being in conflict of interest with his day to day job, besides im not sure his private company will have the muscle to complete the job anyway (wonder how he won the deal in the first place?) .... wonder also if the handover will need approval from the original tenderer? although no doubt.... ioipg is a strengthened purchaser with the means of completing the job ..... so all thats starts well ends well I guess :-)

from earnings perspective next announcement will be an uphill task of meeting with YoY results of 235m profit.... and surely the FY2024 will not be able to beat FY2023 results.... gotta beware of this .... happy hunting

Posted by dragon328 > 1 month ago | Report Abuse

@raymondroy, I beg to differ on IOIPG's upcoming Q4 FY2024 result. IOIPG registered a headline net profit of RM235m in Q4 FY2023 due to some extraordinary gain of RM128m, striping out the EI, core net profit for Q4 FY23 was RM108 million.

I believe IOIPG's upcoming Q4 FY2024 will beat last year result in terms of headline profits as well as core net profit.

Posted by dragon328 > 2 weeks ago | Report Abuse

@myloh123, I have detailed the benefits and impact on IOIPG should it set up a REIT to house its assets in 3 categories:
1) first a commercial REIT in Singapore to house its prime office towers IOI Central Boulevard, then at later stage inject Shenton House into this REIT - total valuation over SGD5.0 billion for IOICB and SGD2.0 billion for Shenton House

2) a commercial REIT in Malaysia to house all its office towers and shopping malls, with IOI City Mall being the biggest asset, together with IOI Mall Puchong and the recently acquired Tropicana Gardens Mall - total valuation may be over RM6.0 billion

3) a hospitality REIT in Malaysia to house all its hotels - total valuation over RM2.0 billion

Please refer to my earlier article on IOIPG for more details

Posted by dragon328 > 2 weeks ago | Report Abuse

The decline of Shenton House proposal is a good deed by IOIPG management and board of directors. The explanation given is just right as it would increase IOIPG gearing further to 0.89x.

Recall that IOIPG share price suffered heavy selling in the few days before the Shenton House proposal was announced, the share price dropped from RM2.50 level to RM2.00 level. Now that the proposal is rejected, the share price should at least climb back to RM2.50 level.

Yeah this brings the numbers back to required level; next is to push for REIT and lift further to 2.90-3.10

Excluding fair value, PBT ard 84m. M i right?

Posted by stockpicker888 > 2 weeks ago | Report Abuse

Hi Dragon328, underlying PBT of the quarter is almost halfed YOY, mainly due to greater write-offs and depreciation , but I do see property segments improved YOY (however QOQ decreased by around 20mil/9%) . What do you think of this quarter’s performance looking purely at the core of the business?

Posted by dragon328 > 2 weeks ago | Report Abuse

@Agjl, excluding the revaluation gains and impairments, the underlying PBT is RM87.3 million as stated in the report. But in the hotel segment, there was additionally some higher depreciation and write-off of hotel assets totalling RM96.7m, if I exclude the write-off of hotel assets, I estimate the underlying PBT would have been around RM170 million.

Posted by dragon328 > 2 weeks ago | Report Abuse

@stockpicker888, as explained above, there was some hotel asset write-off in the hospitality segment in Q4 FY2024, which I suspect was related to old assets at the recently acquired W Hotel KL. I would treat it as one-off and estimate it to be around RM80m.
So I would put the core PBT of Q4 FY2024 to be around RM170m which would be some 60% higher than last year Q4.

Posted by dragon328 > 2 weeks ago | Report Abuse

Against Q3 FY2024, Q4 core earnings would have been higher as well. Recall that in Q3 Fy2024, the earnings were boosted by a land sale amounting to RM211 million.

Posted by stockpicker888 > 2 weeks ago | Report Abuse

@dragon328 you're absolutely right, while waiting for your response, my doubt has been clarified via looking back at Q3 report. Hence, core property business + hotel/mall segments are generally improving YOY and QOQ basis. Coupled with the rejection to take over Shenton House, hopefully, investors would finally see the intrinsic value of this gem. Next up, I'm anticipating the further reveal of the the Johor-SG SEZ deal, to be the next catalyst of its share price. Fingers crossed , and happy investing to all.

Posted by dragon328 > 5 days ago | Report Abuse

Now high gearing is no longer an issue with analysts, who now spell fears on high interest expenses at IOICB that will start to kick in from Q1 FY2025. I think there sell-side analysts have overblown the issue on high interest expense, just like they overblew the issue of high gearing before.

Nonetheless, the overall market sentiment is weak with US stock markets dropping big last week. Yet foreign funds still net bought hundreds of million ringgit worth of equities in Bursa last week. The average cost of entry into IOIPG by foreign funds is slightly above RM2.00, so at current prices below RM2.00 I do not think many foreign funds will sell.

Some local funds are not yet buying in IOIPG as its net gearing is higher than 50% hence is classified as non syariah compliant, but at least we see EPF still accumulating IOIPG in past few weeks.

When foreign funds and local funds are not buying, local retailers tend to sell to cut loss as their holding power is weak.

Posted by dragon328 > 5 days ago | Report Abuse

We may need to wait for 1 or 2 more quarters before we can see meaningful rebounds in the share price of IOIPG, as the company needs to ride through Q1 and Q2 FY2025 when IOICB is expected to incur some losses due to interest expenses kicking in and tenancy remains at 50%.

However, I do not discount the possibility of IOIPG share price rebounding earlier if we can see some good news coming up in coming weeks:
