Cambridge Industrial Trust - Acquisition of remaining 40% stake in property in Tuas. Maintain HOLD, TP S$0.73

Cambridge REIT (CREIT) announced the acquisition of the remaining 40% stake in a limited liability partnership (LLP) which owns 3 Tuas Avenue South 4 for a sum of S$11m. The vendor is Oxley, a related entity of the REIT's sponsor group. The property's long remaining lease of 23 years with built-in rental escalations offers a steady income stream and provides organic growth to the REIT. Initial yield is estimated to be c.5% which appears low but we believe is reflective of the site's development potential. We understand that current plot ratio of 0.49x is below the maximum allowable of c.1.0x, which implies an additional GFA of approximately 320,000 sq ft, which can be extracted from the site for future expansion to realise the full potential of the site. Maintain HOLD, TP S$0.73.

According to newswire, the Indonesian government plans to levy palm oil producers US$50/MT on CPO exports and US$30/MT on Olein exports for so-called "CPO Supporting Fund"; while maintaining the minimum export reference prices to calculate export taxes. The Fund will be used to support the government's biodiesel programme (i.e. subsidies). An Indonesian Palm Oil Farmers Association (APKASINDO) spokesman was quoted as saying that the levy would be detrimental to farmers, as it would cause FFB prices to drop 20% to c.Rp800-Rp900/kg from current price of Rp1,100-Rp1,400/kg. The proposed levy is equivalent to 8.3% export tax at current prices, and will progressively increase towards 26.5% at CPO prices above US$1,250/MT. Our earnings forecasts are to be reviewed for downside bias if the new policy is implemented.

Roxy-Pacific Holdings announced a second joint venture with Australia-based superannuation fund, Hostplus, to acquire a 4.4-hectare land parcel in North Fremantle, Perth, Australia, for A$59 m (~S$63m), as part of its geographical diversification strategy.

Singapore's headline inflation remained in negative territory at -0.3% in February, slightly under expectations of -0.2% but a touch higher than January's reading of -0.4%, again due to drags from both accommodation and private road transport costs. Extending their 1.9% fall in January, accommodation costs declined by 2.1% in February, reflecting the soft housing rental market. Private road transport costs were 5.8% lower, following January's 5% drop. This was due to the sharper correction in COE (Certificate of Entitlement) premiums. Stripping these out, however, core inflation came in higher at 1.3%, reflecting stronger food and services inflation. Food prices rose by 2.5% compared to January's 2.2% increase - a result of the seasonal pick-up in demand during the Chinese New Year period. Services inflation increased to 1.5% from 1.2% a month ago, largely led by the higher cost of holiday travel during the festive season, and the rise in tuition & other fees.
