CapitaMalls Asia to reap the fruits of its investments in 2013

All eyes on Japan, China, and Singapore malls.

According to Nomura, FY13F looks likely to be the year in which CMA reaps the fruits of its investments over the past two years.

Here's more from Nomura:

The FY11 investments such as the increased stakes in the Hongkou and Minhang malls in China as well as the acquisition of Queensbay Mall in Penang have already contributed to a 28% increase in CMA’s core earnings during 9MFY12.

FY13F will see the maiden full year contribution from the malls in Japan, the FY12 new completions in China as well as Star Vista in Singapore.

On the other hand, we expect CMA to book less pre-operating expenses in FY13F on account of fewer completions scheduled in China. We expect just four assets (total development costs c.RMB3.6bn) to be completed in China during FY13F, compared to seven assets (total development costs c.RMB11bn) in FY12F.

We project a core earnings CAGR of 33% between FY11-14F for CMA, following a 33% decline in FY11.

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.
