CapitaCommercial Trust's distributable income up 7.4% to $228.5m in FY12

Thanks to higher contributions from HSBC Building.

According to OCBC, CapitaCommercial Trust reported 4Q12 distributable income of S$58.3m - 7.0% higher YoY. This cumulates to a FY12 distributable income of S$228.5m, up 7.4% YoY, which is within expectations and make up 101% of our forecast. (FY12 DPU is 8.04 S-cents; 4.7% distribution yield based on last closing price.)

Here's more from OCBC:

The growth in distributable income was mainly due to higher contributions from HSBC Building and the 20 Anson acquisition, partially off-set by negative reversions at 6 Battery Rd and the redevelopment of the Market St Car Park.

Portfolio occupancy remained stable at 97.2% as of end 4Q12, versus 97.1% in the previous quarter. Average rentals of remaining leases expiring in 2013 are at S$7.48 - significantly lower than current Grade A levels of S$9.58 - and we expect continued positive rental reversions over FY13.

We would speak further with management regarding these results and, in the meantime, put our Buy rating and fair value estimate of S$1.75

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
