Cromwell European Reit hopes to raise $2b from IPO

by Marissa Lee
Sep 09, 2017

Cromwell European Reit has lodged a preliminary prospectus for a listing on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) mainboard, with plans to start trading on Sept 28.

The real estate investment trust, which draws rental income from 81 properties in six European countries, expects to raise gross proceeds of up to €1.25 billion (S$2 billion). Units will be issued at between 55 and 57 euro cents a unit.

Based on the IPO price range, the Reit is forecasting a distribution yield of 7.5 to 7.7 per cent for next year.

The offer size of 1.58 billion units consists of an international placement tranche of about 1.2 billion units, a Japanese public offering of 268 million units, and 79 million units that will be offered to the Singapore public.

The public offering will open at 9pm on Sept 21 and close at 12pm on Sept 26, based on its indicative timetable.

Why so much hassle? Why not simply trade it in S$? How many would want to attempt trying to squeeze a little more juice from the FX difference? Huh

Non S$ counters have generally far less liquidity. They ought to know that when they IPO here

Bank exchange rate may not be just little juice

Cromwell European REIT to buy 11 properties in Czech and Slovakia for $183.6 million

The Edge Singapore Published on Fri, Dec 11, 2020 / 9:49 AM GMT+8 / Updated 9 hours ago

Cromwell European REIT plans to buy 11 new logistics and light industrial properties in the Czech Republic and Slovakia for €113.2 million ($183.6 million) – slightly below an independent valuation of €115.6 million.

The properties, which have a gross lettable area of 125,435 sq m, are now almost 100% occupied, with WALE of 6.2 years.

Simon Garing, CEO of the REIT manager, says that the acquisitions are in line with the REIT’s stated strategy to increase CEREIT portfolio’s exposure to stable, relatively high-yielding logistics and light industrial assets.

Together with the other light industrial and logistics acquisitions in 2020, CEREIT has added a total of €220.2 million in light industrial and logistics assets to its portfolio, all acquired off-market.

“We are pleased to welcome 17 largely multinational logistics, e-commerce and manufacturer tenant customers to our diverse tenant-customer roster,” says Garing.

The Sponsor/property manager is Cromwell Property Group, which itself is listed on ASX and ESR has a ~30% stake. Indirect round 2 between Quarz Capital and ESR after Round 1 at Sabana REIT?

Quarz Capital Urges Cromwell European REIT to Commence Unit Buyback to Increase Potential Dividend Yield from ~13.2% to more than ~14%

Quarz Capital with its affiliates collectively are one of the top 10 unitholders of Cromwell European REIT ("CEREIT", "Cromwell REIT", "CERT SP", "SGX: CWBU" or "SGX: CWCU"). We commend the Cromwell team for its first-rate operational execution. Our investment demonstrates our conviction that CEREIT is a highly attractive investment opportunity.

We want to be very clear that we are highly supportive of the current management team, not only for its operational achievements, but also its strong commitment to ESG and investor relations. Our only concern relates to the unit buyback program which we believe should be executed immediately to benefit CEREIT and its unitholders.

Back of envelope calculations:

- Total price: 280 million euros
- Cost of the CE Reit units = 156,233,700 x 1.52 = 237.5mil euros

- Price of Asset/Property Mgr = 280 - 237.5 = 42.5mil euros
- FUM = 2.25billion euros (end FY23)
- Price of Asset/Property Mgr as % of FUM = 42.5/2250 = 1.8% of FUM

1.8% of FUM is a relatively cheap price for the asset/property manager, with the purchaser a relatively young asset manager themselves (9 years track record in Europe).

One interesting thing I noticed is that while logically the SGD listed counter should have higher liquidity, at least for Cromwell, the EUR counter is the one with higher liquidity, though the spread is tighter for SGD counter.     . The H1 report is showing like for like growth PowerPoint Presentation (sgx.com). Realistically 10% dividend yield is too high, so assuming 14 Euro Cents per year annual, and 8% yield,since it is relatively unknown, guess that Euro 1.75 is the best case price
Disclaimer :-

I am not an investment professional.

I encourage you to do your own independent "due diligence" on any idea that I write about, because I could be and probably am wrong.

Nothing written here is an invitation to buy or sell any particular stock.

At most, I am handing out an educated guess as to what the markets may do.

The market will always find a new way to make a fool out of me (and maybe, even you!).

Even the best strategies of the past fail, sometimes spectacularly, when you least expect it.

I am not immune to that, so please understand that any past success of mine will probably be followed by failures
