Quote:Keppel REIT’s 1Q 2015 distribution income up approximately 18% q-o-q
Achieves DPU growth of 13% q-o-q,
Upward trend of office rental reversion gathers momentum with 19% growth in rental rates in 1Q 2015
- Sustained level of distributable income year-on-year (“y-o-y”) notwithstanding the expiry of rental support from the 87.5% interest in Ocean Financial Centre in January 2015, the absence of income contribution from Prudential Tower and the absence of rental support from Marina Bay Financial Centre (“MBFC”) Phase One
- Distribution per Unit (“DPU”) grew 13% quarter-on-quarter (“q-o-q”) to 1.70 cents due to a full-quarter contribution from MBFC Tower 3 and stronger performance from Bugis Junction Towers
- Successfully reviewed two-thirds of the leases due in 2015, all with positive rent reversions
- Achieved positive rental rate reversion of 19% for all office leases signed, renewed and reviewed in 1Q 2015
- High tenant retention rate of approximately 96% in 1Q 2015
- Close to 80% of total leases are not due for renewal till 2017 and beyond
- Maintained high committed portfolio occupancy of 99.3%, with nine of 11 completed office towers in Singapore and Australia fully committed
- Proactive capital management strategy saw the maiden issuance of a seven-year $50 million fixed-rate Medium Term Notes, which is due in 2022
- Over 80% of borrowings are not due for repayment till 2017 and beyond
- Continuing the upward trend of office rental reversions, Keppel REIT's current strong portfolio will continue to deliver sustainable distributions for FY2015

- Distribution per Unit (“DPU”) grew 13% quarter-on-quarter (“q-o-q”) to 1.70 cents due to a full-quarter contribution from MBFC Tower 3 and stronger performance from Bugis Junction Towers
Even full contribution from MBFC also cannot improve the DPU ? The acquisition supposed to be yield accretive .
The past DPU used to be 1.97 which sustained for many Qs.
Drop should actually be larger - this Q they took their 12mio of management fees wholly in units (usually they take ard 7mio in units and balance in cash). All else being same DPU should be ard 1.54c only.

The DPU in next Q will even be lower due to more units issued .
The acquisition of MBFC phase 3 was clearly a one sided deal . KL and KC were the winners at the expense of unitholders of KR.
No longer vested as sold all today.
Looks like a perfect storm coming for K-REIT
1) Supply of prime office space//lowered economic growth//contraction of banks' operations//lower cost sites e.g. biz parks putting pressure on prime rents.
2) Higher rate expectations with a close to 45% gearing ratio esp with the new MAS gearing cap rule.
3) Lower aud with Glenn Stevens still jawboning it lower - especially when almost all its debts are funded in SGD but >10% ptf valuation is in AUD creating FX mismatch.
Bit of a train wreck.
Should be discounted by now. One small private placement or right issue should solve the '' over gearing " problem.

Distribution per unit (“DPU”) of 1.70 cents for the third quarter 2015 (“3Q 2015”), only 0.02 cents lower, let us see if they are able to maintain at 1.7 for the coming quarters.
K reit yield close to 7% why take risks on a fixed income with no upside in the light of interest rate direction
