4Q13 gross rental income contracts 4%

LMIRT’s 4Q13 results were significantly below ours and the street’s expectations. FY13 DPU of 3.25 S cents formed only ~93% of ours and the street’s prior estimate. LMIRT reported 4Q13 gross rental income of S$33.9m, down 4.0% YoY. Net property income (NPI) was S$31.1m, down 5.5% YoY. 4Q13 average IDR/SGD rate depreciated 15.4% YoY, pulling down the results. In IDRterms, 4Q13 gross rental income and NPI increased by 13.5% YoY and 11.7% YoY respectively. Distributable income fell by 14.6% YoY to S$13.8m and 4Q13 DPU contracted 24.3% YoY to 0.56 S cents (down 36% QoQ). LMIRT’s NAV has fallen from S$0.4528 at end-Sep 2013 to S$0.4115 at end-Dec 2013. For FY13, gross rental income rose by 16.5% YoY to S$153m, chiefly due to the six malls acquired in 4Q12. FY13 DPU is 10.2% higher YoY.

Refinancing completed

Maintain HOLD

Adjusting our assumptions, including raising our cost of equity assumption from 10.1% to 10.6%, we reduce our FV from S$0.45 to S$0.39. Maintain HOLD. We estimate a FY14F yield of 9.2%.
