To me, there are only a few important points to note in the REIT's latest presentation:
1. Management is on an acquisition path as this is probably the only way to increase DPU as it seems difficult to bump up occupancy of existing portfolio. Occupancy: 91.6%.
2. Potential dilution of DPU to the tune of 12% as warrants are exercised (if funds thus obtained are not put to productive use).
3. NAV per unit (adjusted for warrants): 29c
4. Gearing (adjusted for warrants): 21%
5. Interest cover ratio: 5.2x
Assuming that the management is able to put funds from the exercising of warrants to good use and push gearing to 35%, we could see DPU improve some 30+% from current levels (in JPY terms) based on the management's guidance.
Remember that all the numbers here are based on the current exchange rate between the JPY and S$. As I believe that Singapore would continue to lean towards a gradual appreciation of the S$ while Japan favours a weakening of the JPY, future DPU could be negatively affected in S$ terms. So, unless valuation becomes very compelling, I am unlikely to add to my remaining long position in the REIT.
