Before and After

The Company is probably similar to a "fatting" centre where the net lettable area become "bigger" post transformation. The series of before and after photos copied here for your convenience.

Financial Results


The revenue and profit growth for the last 3 years looked quite impressive on paper. Using the most conservative EPS of 1.94 cents, the Company is listing at a historical PER of around 11.8x, but if i include the fair value gains of properties, the historical PER will be around 6.5x. The adjusted unaudited NTA per share is around 12.09 cents versus the IPO price of 23 cents.


Use of Proceeds

The use of proceeds is tabled below for your reference.


Dividend Policy

The Company intends to distribute dividends of at least 20% of its net profit after tax for FY2015, and FY2016. Assuming EPS remains at 3.53 cents, that will translate into a dividend of 0.706 cents or 3%.

What i like about the Company
  • A pretty interesting company that become the master lessee and then maximizing the potential of the properties. In a space constrained Singapore, this seemed to be a viable business.
  • Management team seemed to have established a good track record
  • Recurring and stable rental income
  • In the long run, once they have build up a sizeable portfolio of assets, it is possible to convert some of their properties into REIT to recycle the capital and earn management fees
  • Reasonable IPO valuation
Some of my concerns
  • Dependent on the health of the rental property market in Singapore
  • The landlords may not renew the lease with the Company or may increase the master rental after the properties have been optimized.
  • Heavily dependent on 3 suppliers (HDB, SLA and Transurban) but the share of revenue from these 3 suppliers has steadily declined from 72.6% in FY2012 to 58.2% in FY2014.
  • Family owned and fallout between the siblings who will own a combined 76.1% of the Company
  • I am actually not too concerned about the pre-IPO investors as their entry price is around 17.83 cents and they hold a small stake
My fair value and ratings

I actually quite like the Company but too bad there is no public tranche. Hence i will "punish" it with a one chilli rating. Assuming a fair value of 6-8x, using the historical financials, i will attribute a fair value of 21 to 28 cents. If the Company is able to deliver a 20% growth to its FY2015 results, the fair value will be around 25 to 34 cents. (Please note that I am not privy to the FY2015 results)

Happy watching from the sidelines. Mr IPO is not vested and is trying to see how he can lay hands onto the shares since this is the first IPO of 2015.... ^_^

private placement seems to be from UOBKH.
I'll have to ask my UOBKH broker whether there is placement on monday.

though usually im wary of IPO with no public tranche. Hope you can enlighten us on the advantage and disadvantage of a share with no public tranche (or low public tranche)

It's fully placed out liao. U tell me if you successful. Private placement is always done to "control" the group to friends and family. Frankly there is no difference to me if I evaluate them based on fundamentals but like u, a public tranche is an indication that the quality is probably better.

This is the very 1st IPO in Singapore: LHN group, which is in the real estate business.

www.fool.sg/2015/04/06/5-things-you-should-know-about-lhn-limiteds-upcoming-ipo/

There has been a lack of interest and confidence in the Singapore markets for the past 6-12 months. or maybe ever since the Asiason, Liongold, blumont debacle.

However, without the support of the Spore IPO scene, the Singapore market might get into a perpetual stagnant stance.
What it needs is the wealth effect to jumpstart the Spore scene again and give confidence to investors.

1st IPO in SG... perform well... followed by
2nd IPO in SG... perform well... followed by
3rd IPO in SG... perform well...
Investors then have confidence to invest in other companies.

This lack of interest and liquidity is a chicken and egg situation.

The investors that used to invest in Singapore have become like what real estate is in Singapore as real estate investors have either sat in the dark or have turned their eyes to the overseas market.

Investors should jump back in or brokerages should work together to create liquidity again
