Shui On Land's (SOL) FY 2023 results were slightly weak, in our view. Positively, the company’s rental income increased moderately, supported by contributions from new commercial assets and China’s re-opening from the pandemic. Recurring operating income from rentals and property management covered 0.8x of interest expense. In addition, the gross margin remained very strong, even as revenue from the property development segment was halved on account of lower sales and deliveries. Negatively, SOL’s net debt climbed 14% from FYE 2022, owing to lower cash collections and its acquisition of a Shanghai project in April 2023. Moreover, the company’s increased asset encumbrance would reduce its financial flexibility. Liquidity is weak, considering the thin unrestricted cash balance and substantial refinancing needs over the next 12 months. That said, the company might be able to pledge or dispose of more assets to raise cash.
