5) IGB REIT : FY12/13  Rev+274% RM430.7m Net+103% RM311.9m EPS 9.14s  DPS 7.04s
 
       Results in line, ex-changes in FV on investment properties of RM105.
 
For FY yoy, revenue & net property income was substantially higher due to the acquisition of investment properties by the REIT which was completed on 20 Sept 2012. Hence, the corresponding period to date only covered approximately 3.4 months while the current period covered the full 12 months. The distributable income for the current period amounted to RM241.1m of 7.04s per unit ( vs cons 6.8s), consisting of realized profit of RM206.9m and the non cash adjustment from Manager fees in units totaling RM28.8m. Qoq, revenue was 5.8% higher, mainly due to higher total rental income in the current quarter. However, net property income was RM72.4m, 1.7% lower mainly due to higher property costs in the current quarter. Despite the cautious outlook projected by management, the group has strong growth potential as both assets' rentals are at among the lowest average rates for landmark malls in KL. We believe there is also more value to be unlocked from its premium retail asset, The Gardens, as average rental rates are lower than Mid Valley which is targeted at the mass segment. Both Mid Valley and The Gardens have a two-year tenancy waiting list and occupancy has been consistently high at 99%-100% since 2009; Hold.
 
 
6) Market: Expect a steadier market with a mild technical bounce as emerging market currencies have stabilised after the turmoil of last week and markets have also discounted for the Fed to taper another $10b in their FOMC meeting over these 2 days.
