<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.
