<h2>Dasin Retail Trust</h2>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>
COMPANY DESCRIPTION Dasin Retail Trust (DRT) is a China retail property trust listed on SGX providing direct exposure to Guangdong Hong Kong Macau Greater Bay Area (Greater Bay Area). It has a portfolio of seven retail malls in Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Foshan cities in Guangdong. These properties host a tenant base of over 500 local and international retailers.
<div>
SUMMARY Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, Revenue for FY2020 was impacted by lower rental income and rental rebates provided to tenants. However, the Group, comprising DRT and its subsidiaries, recorded a 15.1% year-on-year (y-o-y) growth in revenue for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 mainly due to contributions from acquisitions completed in 2019 and 2020. During the period, the Group reported a Distribution Per Unit (DPU) of 3.94 cents compared to 6.82 cents in FY2019. During the period, the Group’s earnings was negatively impacted by a net fair value loss on investment properties of S$104.7 million compared to a loss of S$20.8 million a year ago. Consequently, the Group reported a loss per share of 10.18 cents in FY2020.
RECOMMENDATION Based on DRT reported NAV per share of S$1.41 as at 31 December 2020, the share is currently trading at a P/B of 0.37x, presenting a discount of approximately 63% to NAV. Our peer comparison results show that the Company could be undervalued, given a lower PB of 0.37x compared to peer average P/B of 0.87x. In addition, we note that DRT could be relatively attractive in terms of dividend yield. Our evaluation of the peer comparison results lead us to believe that it may be reasonable for DRT to trade at the P/B multiple of 0.51x. Adopting a relative valuation approach, we estimate a target price of S$0.719 which represent a 39.61% upside from the current price. We believe this upside could be justified by potential growth in the Group’s earnings as supported by the positive outlook on China’s economy and its strategic partnership with Sino-Ocean Capital. Given the above, we believe a buy recommendation is warranted on DRT.

<ul>
<li>1Q21 revenue (in RMB terms; on same-mall basis) increased 51.0% YoY to ~RMB101.6m. Total revenues of the four malls (IPO portfolio), namely Shiqi Metro Mall, Xiaolan Metro Mall, Ocean Metro Mall and Dasin E-Colour, has recovered to 94% of 1Q19 (pre-pandemic)’s level. Including Shunde Metro Mall and Tanbei Metro Mall (8Jul20), 1Q21 revenue (in RMB terms) increased 87.4% YoY to ~RMB127.3m</li>
<li>Overall portfolio committed occupancy stabilized at 96.1% (vs. 96.5% in 4Q20 and 96.1% in 3Q20). ~9,085sqm (12.7% of total Ocean Metro Mall NLA) of “furniture and finishing” space at the mall has been reconfigured in 4Q20 into a children’s education area, which brought a positive rental reversion of ~46%. Portfolio WALE stood at 5.9 years by NLA and 3.6 years by GRI. ~31.1% of GRI will be due for renewal in FY21E</li>
<li>Portfolio gearing stands at 37.2% (vs. 37.8% in 4Q20 and 38.5% in 3Q20). DASIN is currently negotiating with banks for extension of loans amounting to S$235.2m, which are due on 18Jul21</li>
<li>Mr. Zhang Zhencheng, Chairman and controlling shareholder of the Trustee-Manager, as well as Aqua Wealth Holdings Limited (a controlling unitholder of the Trust), had entered into a sale and purchase agreement with ARA DSRT (Holdings) and ARA Real Estate Investors 22 in pursuance of a strategic partnership with ARA Asset Management. ARA will acquire 50% of interest in the Trustee-Manager from Mr. Zhang Zhencheng, as well as ~5.0% of interest in DASIN from Aqua Wealth Holdings Limited in two separate tranches. The sale of 50% stake in Trustee-Manager and first tranche of DASIN’s units (2.5% stake) is expected to complete by May21</li>
<li>DASIN currently trades at 7.0% FY21E yield and 0.51x P/B.</li>
</ul>
Comments: 1Q21 Revenue forms 23.6% of our full-year FY21E revenue (based on avg. 1Q21 RMB/SGD of 4.8727). We are encouraged by Dasin E-Colour’s strong revenue recovery (to near pre-Covid level) despite a challenging occupancy profile of 86.5% (vs. portfolio average of 96.1% and 1Q20’s 91.9%), thus translating to a robust passing rent at ~RMB125.6psm pm with +107% YoY reversions. Meanwhile, its 2 mature assets, namely Shiqi Metro Mall and Xiaolan Metro Mall (contributed to ~45.6% of 1Q21 revenue), appear to be on track for a sustained recovery – upticks in both occupancy rates and passing rents. The two newly acquired Shunde Metro Mall and Tanbei Metro Mall should provide inorganic boost to with its full-year contributions (vs. 6 mths contributions in FY20). Notwithstanding a challenging leasing market (portfolio occupancy remains below pre-Covid level of 97-98%), DASIN’s lease structure with high fixed components (fixed rent and fixed rent with built-in escalation) at 82.8%% of Mar21 GRI, offer income stability somewhat. We have a BUY rating with TP of S$0.81/Unit for DASIN.
