US OFFICE REITS

Sector Merits

1. Attractive dividend yields.

2. Collaborative work in a dynamic environment to hold demand for office; long WALEs to support.

3. Office-using jobs less affected by unemployment; Looking forward to a stabilised normal.

4. Office space demand by Top 3 leasing drivers (Tech, financial and professional services) will moderate not abate.

Key Risks

1. Structural change: Weaker economic outlook and takeaways from COVID-19 to push companies towards a more mobile operating model.

2. Leasing and supply headwinds.

Sector BackgroundIn the near-term, the pandemic has resulted is fewer workers in the office and more satellite offices being built up in the suburbs. We believe working from home is not a permanent solution that can replace physical office materially.

US OFFICE REITS

Sector Merits

1. Attractive dividend yields.

SG-Listed US office REITs present attractive yield spreads of 7-8% to the US 10-year treasury yields.

The yields of SG-listed US office REITs also outperform that of both SG office REITS and US-listed US office REITs by 1.7x.

In terms of its risk-reward, we believe that US office REITs are worth the investment in the long run.

US OFFICE REITS

2. Collaborative work in a dynamic environment to hold demand for office; long WALEs to support.

• According to Gensler’s US Workplace Survey, since 2016, office work has evolved from an individualistic mode (2016: 50%; 2019: 45%) to one that is more learning and collaborative (2016: 50%; 2019: 55%). Employees have spent 14-15% of their work time telecommuting.

• In the same timeframe, the office market was experiencing positive rent growth and declining vacancies. This shows that telecommuting and office may not be mutually exclusive.

2. Collaborative work in a dynamic environment to hold demand for office; long WALEs to support.

• Employers do see merits in a dynamic working environment such as cross-functional collaboration, which lead to mixed responses in their view of needing an office in 3 years.

• According to Moody’s Investor Service, 94% of the larger office leases will only start to expire 4 years from now, which suggests that landlords do have time to adjust to the future of work.

4. Office space demand by Top 3 leasing drivers (Tech, financial and professional services) will moderate not abate.

• The existence of virtual conferencing tools predates COVID, but these sectors still choose to conduct certain functions/elements of business in the flesh implies that these sectors are best served by office premise and explains the pre-disposition for the office environment.

• Structural shifts in the office landscape will be gradual rather than immediate, with the desire for physical collaboration and networking resulting in the maintenance of an office address.

Tech was the dominant leasing driver in 2019

Key Risks

1. Weaker economic outlook and takeaways from COVID-19 to push companies towards a more mobile operating model

The successful implementation of telecommuting has heightened the possibility of moving towards a premise-light business model.

Additionally, consolidation/downsizing within industries may lead to greater ‘shadow market’ space should current tenants be allowed to sublet their space.

2. Leasing and supply headwinds

Leasing activity fell by 18% QoQ and 14% YoY as businesses take on a more cautious approach with regards to relocations and expansions.

Office vacancy rate increased by 20bps as new supply outpaced demand in 1Q20. Net absorption for the quarter was the lowest since 1Q13.

Prime US REIT (BUY, TP: S$0.88, Last: S$0.77)

Key risks:

1. Debilitated economy to slow leasing activities for Prime in 2020.

We expect leasing activities to weaken as businesses are impacted by the recent escalation of events from COVID-19.

Greater investor caution and selectivity coupled with lockdown inconveniences will increase the time required to close new leases.

2. Weakness in co-working spaces.

Demand for co-working spaces is expected to remain soft, which poses uncertainty to Prime’s income stream.

Nevertheless, the total proportion of co-working spaces in the portfolio is only 3.7%.

Initiate coverage on Prime US REIT with a BUY rating and a TP of $0.88.

Our DDM-derived target price is based on a five-year projection, cost of equity of 9.96% and terminal growth rate of 2%. It translates to a FY20e dividend yield of 8.9% and a total return of 24%.

SATS Ltd (SELL (Downgraded), TP: S$1.95, Last: S$2.88)

Positives

• Responding with aggressive cost cuts. Excluding thegovernment grant of S$21.9mn (2 months) in 4Q20, SATS hasmanaged to lower staff cost by 16% YoY, more than the 8%,including government grants.

• Other sources of revenue. Some of the new areas of revenueincludes wholesale supplier to cloud kitchens catering tohome deliveries. Another source of revenue was cruisecentre support to house foreign workers in cruise ships..

Negatives

• No final dividend. The was no final dividend compared with13 cents a year ago. The company needs to be prudent andretain cash due to the uncertainties.

Outlook: 4Q20 results was below guidance of $15-20,m profit due to the write-offs. SATS is temporarily closing Inflight Catering Centre 1 (ITC 1)and consolidate operations at ITC 2. 1Q20 guidance is for a net loss of S$50mn.

Downgrade to SELL from NEUTRAL: Why our sell recommendation?

1.No clear visibility the steepness or duration of recovery. IATA forecast is 2023 recovery in air traffic to 2019 levels;

2. Absence of dividend yield and net loss to persist, we are using price to book to value. Average of 1.35x during the global financial crisis in 2009 asa benchmark;
