Broker' s take: OUE Hospitality Trust to see better days in H2
 
OUE Hospitality Trust should benefit from seasonally higher hospitality demand in the second half of this year.
Preliminary hotel statistics published by the Singapore Tourism Board painted an improved hospitality outlook in July - revenue per available room (RevPAR) grew 5.4 per cent month-on-month to S$223.4 while average occupancy rate increased to 90 per cent from 84.9 per cent in June.
" While the international tourist arrivals to Singapore declined by 2.5 per cent for the first seven months of 2014, we note that the number of arrivals in July represented a 19.2 per cent month-on-month jump to 1.4 million. More importantly, the arrivals from Asia registered a 16.7 per cent month-on-month increase in July," said Kevin Tan, investment analyst, OCBC Investment Research, in a report issued on Tuesday.
" Given that Asia formed about 74 per cent of OUE Hospitality Trust' s Mandarin Orchard Singapore customer profile for H1 2014, we believe that OUE Hospitality Trust is likely to put on a better showing in H2 should the demand be sustained."

Well-positioned for 2H
OUE-HT&rsquo s interims are in line with our forecast, with 2Q and 1H earnings
accounting for 23% and 47% of our full-year forecast, respectively. As
management has been proactive in speeding up the AEI of 160 rooms in 2Q to
take advantage of a seasonally stronger 2H and is negotiating to acquire
Crowne Plaza at Changi Airport, we maintain our Add rating with an
unchanged DDM-based (discount rate: 7.93%) target price of S$0.96.
Stable quarter largely supported by stronger F& B
OUE Hospitality Trust (OUE-HT) delivered S$28.3m gross revenue in 2Q14, in
line with the forecast made by management during its IPO. In view of a slower
hospitality market, management accelerated and completed the AEI for 160
rooms in 2Q to take advantage of a seasonally stronger 2H. As a result, RevPAR
dipped by 4.7% yoy to S$242 while occupancy was maintained at 90%.
Excluding the impact of the AEI, RevPAR for the quarter would have been
flattish from a year ago. During the quarter, food and beverage sales continued
to perform, with higher patronage and stronger banquet sales. This, in turn,
mitigated the impact of lower room revenue in 2Q. Mandarin Gallery&rsquo s gross
revenue remained in line with forecast, registering a passing rent of S$23.7
psf/mth (vs S$23.6 psf/mth in 1Q14).
Further room to grow
We expect OUE-HT to benefit from a stronger 2H, particularly from the
recently refurbished 160 rooms. These rooms could fetch an additional S$30
per room/night, translating into c.11% higher room rates. In addition, OUE-HT
is well-positioned to benefit from the 5.7% yoy rise in Indonesian visitors in the
first five months of 2014 as Indonesians make up 25-30% Mandarin Orchard&rsquo s
customers. With a further 270 rooms awaiting renovation, all the rooms at
Mandarin Orchard are expected to be fully refurbished by FY15.
Maintain Add
We continue to see value in OUE-HT which offers dividend yields of 7.8% for
FY14 and 8.0% for FY15 and an FY14 P/BV of 0.98x. This compares with yields
of 7.0% and 7.2% and 1.0x P/BV for its peers. We maintain our Add rating.

OUE Hospitality Trust - Milking its prime assets
Written By Stock Fanatic on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 |
 
■ Initiate at BUY and TP of SGD0.93 (cost of equity =8%, Tg=1.5%), offering a decent 13% total return.
 
■ Offers the highest yield among Singapore-based hospitality and retail S-REITs, supported by its two prime assets.
 
■ Good quality sponsor&rsquo s ROFR to drive future growth.
 
Initiate with BUY and TP of SGD0.93
OUE Hospitality Trust (OUEHT), the only trust with pure Orchard Road play, owns the integrated 125,000-sq ft high-end fashion mall Mandarin Gallery (MG 30% of revenue and portfolio value) and the upscale 1,077-room Mandarin Orchard Singapore hotel (MOS 70% of revenue and portfolio value). In our view, it stands to benefit from the growing hospitality segment in Orchard Road. OUEHT looks attractive as it offers a FY14E DPU yield of 7.3%, the highest among Singapore-based hospitality and retail S-REITs.
 
Positive business dynamics to drive DPU growth
Modest room additions in Orchard Road and the ongoing refurbishments to upgrade 430 rooms at MOS, will ensure RevPar for MOS remains resilient. Limited new retail space (0.31m sq ft of NLA) on Orchard Road over the next three years and measures to optimise the tenant mix at MG suggest scope for rental upside at MG. Their close proximity to key tourist attractions, commercial and medical clusters puts them in good stead to continue to ride the leisure, business and medical tourism wave. We expect visitor arrivals to be supported by new tourist attractions, and deeper penetration into the MICE and medical businesses.
