We initiate coverage on Cambridge Industrial Trust (CREIT) with an Outperform rating and PT of SGD 0.77. CREIT owns a SGD 1.2bn portfolio of 49 industrial assets across Singapore. It provides a 2013E DPU yield of 7.7%, one of the highest among SREITs. We expect acquisitions to drive NPI growth of 10% p.a. in 2013-14. With 33% of its assets under-rented, we anticipate positive rent reversions in 2013-14 despite falling market rents. Unitholder-friendly fee structure rewards unit performance rather than growth in asset size or income.

Attractive 7.7% DPU yield in 2013E: We expect CREIT to provide 7.7% and 8.2% DPU yield in 2013 and 2014, respectively, potentially among the highest among SREITs. We expect NPI to grow 10% p.a. in 2013-14, driven by income contribution from acquisition assets. Excluding the impact of asset divestments, we estimate rental escalations and reversions will drive organic income growth of 3.6% CAGR in 2012-14. Positive rental reversions likely, despite weakening sector: Single-tenanted leases expiring in 2013-14 make up c.33% of CREITs portfolio. Despite our negative industrial outlook, we expect these renewals to achieve positive reversions since effective passing rents rose only c.16% in 2006-12, compared to 44-74% increases in market rents. Independent manager, unitholder-friendly fee structure: CREIT has an independent manager, which may give it better access to property vendors that equate this with less conflict of interest. Further, its manager is rewarded for outperformance of CREITs unit price rather than asset size or NPI. We think CREIT may potentially be the first SREIT to internalise its management. Key risks: An economic slowdown could impact rents and occupancy rates. We conservatively lower our occupancy estimates for single-tenanted leases expiring in 2014-15 to factor in potential conversion to multi-tenanted ones. Valuation: Our DDM-derived price target uses a risk-free rate of 2.0%, market risk premium of 5.5%, terminal growth of 0.5% and beta of 1.0. We have not assumed any acquisitions. We estimate that a potential divestment of CREITs strata industrial area at Hillview Ave could be c.14% accretive to our valuation.

Attractive dividend yield and strong growth
CREIT provides a 7.7% 2013E DPU yield, the highest among industrial REITs and 190bps above the SREIT average. This rises to 8.2% in 2014E, as acquisition completions and current underrenting mitigates the weaker occupancies we expect at properties with expiring master leases. We estimate CREIT to have one of the highest DPU yields among SREITs in 2013-14. Fig 1: Industrial SREITs Highest 2013-14E DPU yields

Acquisition assets: We expect income contribution from assets acquired in 2012 to grow from SGD 4.5mn in 2012 to SGD 22.9mn in 2014. The jump in contribution results from acquisition completions for five properties between 4Q12 and 1Q13. Development assets: We expect income contribution from CREITs two development assets to rise c.20% in 2014 from 2013E as CREIT receives full-year contributions.

Existing portfolio: We expect organic income to fall 2.6% p.a. on average in 2012-14, due to the divestment of four properties between 1Q12 and 1Q13. Excluding the impact of these divestments, organic income should grow at 3.6% CAGR in 2012-14E, driven by built-in rental escalations and lease expiries.

CREITs acquisitions in 2012 were funded by divestment gains and debt with interest cost of c.4.0%, rather than equity raising costing at average cost of equity of 7.8% in that year. We think management could potentially carry out further asset enhancements at its properties as well as c.SGD 150mn of acquisitions in 2013. These could potentially be funded by asset divestments. We have not included any additional enhancement works or acquisitions in our assumptions.

These leases have average rental escalations of 2.5% p.a. and effective passing rents would have risen c.16% between 2006 and 2012. In comparison, factory and warehouse rents in Singapore rose 74% and 44%, respectively, over the same period. We estimate factory and warehouse rents will fall 8% and 6% p.a., respectively, over 2013-14. However, we expect under-renting at CREITs properties to offset the weaker market signing rents. We expect CREITs expiring leases to achieve rents closer to market levels in 2013. We have assumed average passing rents will rise 5-11% in 2013, following positive rental reversions from expiring leases and built-in escalations for the ongoing leases.
CREIT is Singapores first independent industrial REIT. Its manager, Cambridge Industrial Trust Management (CITM), is not majority controlled by any property company that develops or owns real estate for commercial sale or investment purposes. CREIT has a unitholder-friendly fee structure; most SREITs have performance fees tied to asset size or NPI. CREITs management performance fee structure is formulated to reward management for total returns achieved by the REIT, versus a benchmark comprising the seven largest SREITs. In 2012, management received its first performance fees since IPO, following a 41% rise in its stock price during 2012.
CREIT may enjoy better access to property vendors if they perceive it to have less conflict of interest than sponsored REITs. Unitholders may also prefer its management structure, which wholly aligns management interest with investor interest. In 2012, CREIT won the Best Corporate Governance award at the SIAS Investors Choice Awards. Due to the high free float of c.96%, CREIT could potentially be a takeover target if its unit price were to fall significantly below NAV. Most other SREITs are 30-70% held by their parent or sponsor company, making potential takeovers highly challenging. 5

We think CREIT could potentially be the first SREIT to internalise its management. While CITM is not majority controlled by a property company, it is indirectly owned by three strategic sponsors: National Australia Bank Group (56%), Oxley Group (24%) and Mitsui & Co., Ltd (20%). If the sponsors of the manager agree on an exit price on their stakes in CITM, CREIT could potentially internalise its manager.

Valuation
We initiate coverage on CREIT with an Outperform rating and our DDM-derived price target of SGD 0.77 implies a 2013 yield of 7.2% and 2014 yield of 7.6%. Industrial SREITs currently offer a yield of 6.5% for 2013 and for 2014 on average. Across the SREITs under our coverage, we use a risk-free rate of 2.0% and market risk premium of 5.5%. Depending on the asset class, free float market cap and risk profile, we apply betas of 0.80-1.10 and terminal growth rates of -1.00% and 2.25% for the SREITs under our coverage. We assume a terminal interest rate of 3.3% for all SREITs under our coverage. For industrial SREITs, we assume terminal growth of 0.5% and discount rates of 6.4-8.0% to account for the shorter land tenure in their portfolios.

For CREIT, we utilise a risk-free rate of 2.0% and market risk premium of 5.5%, in line with our SREIT assumptions. We use terminal growth of 0.5%, in line with the industrial stocks under our coverage. We use a beta of 1.0 to account for its relatively small market capitalisation of c.SGD 880mn. CREIT has a free float of 96%, or free float market cap of c.SGD 810mn. Liquidity is relatively low, with one-month average daily trading volume at c.SGD 1.5mn.

We have not assumed acquisitions for CREIT in our valuations. Assumption of SGD 150mn of acquisitions at a 7.5% NPI yield and 50:50 equity and debt funded would be c.1.3% accretive to our price target. This could then see leverage rise by c.2ppt. CREITs leverage as of December 2012 was 38.6%, which management expects to fall to 36.0%, following the repayment of its bridge loan in 1Q13.

Key risks
Economic downturn will affect vacancy and rents
Our industrial sector estimates are based on assumptions of GDP growth of 2.5% and 4.0% in 2013 and 2014, respectively. A slowdown in economic growth, whether homegrown or resulting from a global economic downturn, could have a negative impact on CREIT. Factory and warehouse vacancies and rents would be affected. While CREIT is partly protected by having master leases, which make up c.83% of its portfolio, its vacancy rate and rents could still face downside risks. These in turn affect CREITs NPI and distributions to unitholders. We estimate factory and warehouse rents in Singapore will fall an average of 8% and 6% respectively over 2013-14. We have accounted for a weaker industrial outlook in our valuation and earnings estimates for CREIT. We expect industrial SREITs to face headwinds in occupancies when existing master leases expire, due to higher industrial supply and potential downside to demand. For CREITs properties with single-tenanted leases expiring in 2014 and 2015, we conservatively assume 90% occupancy to factor in potential conversion to multi-tenanted leases. Overall, we assume lower portfolio occupancy for CREIT by c.1.5ppt in 2014 and 2015. Fig 13: Singapore GDP growth and industrial warehouse rents

CREITs overall portfolio has a current average valuation of SGD 159psf, comprising an average SGD 139psf for its logistics/warehouse assets and SGD 189psf for its industrial assets. This is lower than Caches and AAREITs valuations, but CREITs portfolio average purchase price of SGD 138psf is also lower. We estimate current average passing rent for CREITs assets at SGD 1.02psfpm, c.20% lower than Cache and AAREIT.

CREITs portfolio has been resilient since it listed, with occupancy hovering at 99-100% despite the global economic crisis in 2008-09. Its portfolio comprises 83% single-tenanted leases. We think management may try to maintain a target mix of 75:25 between multi-tenanted and singletenanted leases in order to strike a balance between stability and growth. For leases expiring in 2014 and 2015, we conservatively assume 90% occupancy (from 100%) in single-tenanted as well as multi-tenanted properties. Fig 30: Resilient portfolio occupancy

Includes SGD 13.1mn for asset enhancement works on 16 Tai Seng St For CREITs 60% stake; based on NPI yield on valuation of SGD 22.8mn Source: Company, Standard Chartered Research estimates
With the completion of built-to-suit development projects at Tuas View Circuit and Seletar Aerospace Park, CREIT now has the capacity to carry out development works while keeping to the REIT guidelines. We estimate the redevelopment of properties with under-utilised plot ratios potentially adds c.770,000sf GFA to its portfolio. They include 3 Pioneer Sector 3, 1 Third Lok Yang Road and 4 Fourth Lok Yang Road, 2 Tuas South Avenue, 31 Kian Teck Way and 7 Gul Lane. Passing rents at these sites could be low in comparison to similar class assets, in our view. Our price target currently does not assume any new redevelopment works or acquisitions.

Net property income We expect NPI contributions of SGD 86.2mn in 2013 and SGD 93.0mn in 2014, representing a 10% CAGR over 2012-14. This includes income contributions from acquisition and development assets. Capital expenditure Asset enhancement initiatives: SGD 16.4mn is committed for enhancement works at 88 International Road and SGD 13.1mn for 4 and 6 Clementi Loop. We expect these to be paid over 2013.
Acquisitions: SGD 41.0mn is committed for the acquisition of 30 Teban Gardens Crescent. We expect this to be completed in 4Q13. We have not assumed acquisitions for CREIT in our valuations. An assumption of SGD 150mn of acquisitions at 7.5% NPI yield and 50:50 equity and debt funded will be c.1.3% accretive to our price target. This could see leverage rise by c.2ppt. Development projects: CREITs two built-to-suit developments, Tuas View Circuit and Seletar Aerospace Park, were completed before 2013. We have not assumed any other development projects in our estimates. We assume maintenance capex of 0.5% of property value annually.
Fee structure The management fee structure includes a base fee of 0.5% p.a. of deposited property. A performance fee is also paid to the manager if CREITs total return exceeds the total return of a benchmark index of SREITs. We do not expect any management fees to be paid in CREIT units.

Revaluations We assume annual revaluation of 2% p.a. Cost of debt We assumed cost of debt of 4.0-4.4% p.a. over 2013-16E. We have assumed a cost of debt of 4.4% in our terminal year 2016. Debt maturity profile CREIT took out a SGD 53mn bridge loan in 4Q12, which it expects to repay in 1Q13 with divestment proceeds from the compulsory sale of the 30 Tuas Road property to the government.
CREIT has SGD 280mn of term loans expiring in 2014. We expect these to be refinanced in 2013.

2016
Leverage CREIT has leverage of 38.6% as of December 2012, which management expects to fall to 36.0% after repayment of the bridge loan. We expect leverage to rise as CREIT pays down the capex required for enhancement works at 88 International Road and 4&6 Clementi Loop and the acquisition cost of 30 Teban Garden Crescent. We expect leverage to return to c.39% if all these commitments are debt-funded. Cash Dividend Reinvestment Programme (DRP): CREITs DRP received healthy take-up interest in 2012, with unitholders reinvesting c.30% of distributions. We assume DRP take-up of 10% p.a., which would provide CREIT with additional cash flow of c.SGD 7.0mn a year, which management said it would use as working capital.
Cash holdings: CREIT will have c.SGD 49mn of cash after repayment in 1Q13, after repayment of its bridge loan. Together with its ongoing DRP, CREITs cash holdings will continue to rise. Management has indicated it aims to keep cash holdings at c.SGD 15-20mn. We think CREIT will be able to repay some of its debt, or fund potential acquisitions with part of its cash holdings. Capital distribution: In 2012, CREIT paid out c.SGD 5.7mn in capital distributions to offset reductions in distributable income from asset divestments and ongoing enhancement works. These were funded by capital gains from divestments and CREITs ex-gratia payments from the Singapore Land Authority. We assume performance fee of SGD 3.0mn in 4Q13, which we expect to be totally offset by distribution from capital. As most of its acquisitions and enhancement works should be completed from 2013 onwards, we do not include any other capital distributions in our assumptions.
