Chart of the Day: Check out S-REITs' debt maturity profiles

Term to expiry edged up to 2.92 years.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, an analysis of the sector’s debt maturity profile suggests that refinancing risk is low. S-REITs’ average term to expiry improved from 2.7 years since 2008-09 to 2.92 years as of 31 Mar'13.

Sector gearing remains healthy at 33.8%, compared to 40.7% at the height of the GFC. The debt maturity profile is also better spaced out with no more than SGD6.6b to be refinanced each year.

Here's more from Maybank Kim Eng:

As of 31 Mar 2013, debt among the S-REITs maturing by 2017 stands at approximately SGD21b. Amongst the S-REITs, K-REIT, MCT and SUNTEC are the most highly-geared, while CRCT and CDLHT have the shortest average term to debt maturity.

A-REIT and SGREIT are probably the most well-capitalised with low gearing levels, long maturities and high percentage of fixed-rate borrowings.

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.
