<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/dasin-retail-trust" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:23743" rel="noopener">Dasin Retail Trust (DASIN SP)</a> 1Q21 Business Updates – Revenue recovered to 94% of pre-Covid level; ARA’s strategic stake underscores GBA’s potential</h3>
<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.

Dasin Retail Trust (DASIN SP) 1Q21 Business Updates – Revenue recovered to 94% of pre-Covid level; ARA’s strategic stake underscores GBA’s potential

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
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
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
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
DASIN currently trades at 7.0% FY21E yield and 0.51x P/B.

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.

With the resurgence of Covid-19 cases in Singapore, we do not discount the probability of LHN renewing the dormitory management contracts. Nonetheless, we believe its string of expansion plans for co-living business should provide steady growth moving forward. In addition to the new serviced residence in Cambodia (commissioned since 1Q21), 1557 Keppel Road and Nan’an China should also start contributing in FY21E. Meanwhile, newly acquired 320 Balestier Road (16Dec20), as well as proposed acquisitions of 40 &amp; 42 Amber Road (to be completed by 8Jun21), 8 strata units at Fu Yuen Building (subject to completion of two underlying options), and 115 Geylang Road (to be completed by 21Jul21) should drive growth in FY22E and onwards. We are currently reviewing our recommendations.
