4 new pillars to drive ComfortDelgro' s growth

It aims to raise overseas business contributions to 70% of revenue as it expands in rail, electrification, logistics and non-emergency medical transport.
Mon, Feb 14, 2022 - 5:50 AM
UPDATED Mon, Feb 14, 2022 - 5:50 AM

" ... my vision for the group is that it continues to position itself at the forefront of all land transport solutions, and that it continues to provide safe, efficient and convenient mobility solutions," says Lim.

Singapore
COMFORTDELGRO Corporation is aiming to generate 70 per cent of its revenue from overseas by leveraging its core land transport expertise and driving four new growth pillars - rail, electrification, logistics and non-emergency medical transport, chairman Lim Jit Poh tells The Business Times.
The 82-year-old industry veteran says: " As we work at future-proofing ourselves, my vision for the group is that it continues to position itself at the forefront of all land transport solutions, and that it continues to provide safe, efficient and convenient mobility solutions. We are currently a major provider in the people mover arena. I think we can move beyond this, and in a big way."
 
ComfortDelGro was formed on March 29, 2003 through the merger of two listed land transport companies, Comfort Group and DelGro Corporation.
Lim, then chairman of Comfort Group and a director at DelGro, together with the late Kua Hong Pak, a fellow director at DelGro, engineered the merger.
Over the years, the group has stayed true to its transport roots as it grew from being a market leader in Singapore to a global transport provider. Today, it has a fleet of 40,000 vehicles, with operations spanning the United Kingdom to Australia as well as across nine cities in China.

Lim says the group will continue to leverage its strong capabilities in the transportation and adjacent sector, whilst advancing technologically, with application development, data mining and research part and parcel of its operations.
" As technology advances, it stands to reason that we too will evolve. Today, we are ramping up our electric vehicle (EV) fleet and trialing autonomous vehicle (AV) technology," he said.
Public transport services (bus, coach and rail), taxis and car rental and leasing account for around 90 per cent of the total revenue of the group, which is also involved in automotive engineering services, driving centres, insurance broking services and outdoor advertising.
Global disruption, rapid technological advances, and changing consumer behaviours are altering the industry on many levels all at once, notably in the way one reaches out to customers.
Staying in the game
Lim says: " It is no longer just about building bus stops and taxi stands, it is about data mining and knowing when and where your customers want your services - and how best you can match demand to supply. Technology has created new possibilities and we are investing heavily to ensure we stay in the game."
Besides challenges posed by the rapid advancement of technology, there is also the challenge of growing the business beyond the small Singapore market.
Lim says: " Our overseas expansion policy began pre-merger and has not abated but accelerated. I see us moving further along this path, and in a bigger way.
" In time to come, overseas revenue contribution will far outweigh that of local contribution. We have a long-term target of having our overseas businesses contribute to 70 per cent of total revenue."
For the six months to end-June 2021, ComfortDelGro' s net profit stood at S$91 million on a turnover of S$1.7 billion. Singapore accounted for about 54 per cent of total revenue, while the remaining 46 per cent was generated overseas, mainly in the UK, Australia and China.
While cash is not an issue at the moment (its cash and cash equivalent stood at S$892.8 million on June 30, 2021), Lim says progress would depend on the availability of experienced and trained manpower: " I must say this land transport sector does not really attract manpower easily. This is therefore very challenging for us."
New growth pillars
With 18 years of experience from running the rail networks in Singapore' s North East Line, as well as the award of a S$1.13 billion deal to operate rail services in Auckland, New Zealand last year, Lim believes the group is ready to grow its rail business. After all, the group has amassed a wealth of knowledge and experience in the key areas of technical, customer service and disaster recovery. It has also been achieving world class reliability standards across the fleet for two years running now.
ComfortDelGro has been shortlisted in two other rail tenders - one in Paris with French transport giant RATP Group to operate Lines 15, 16 and 17 of the Grand Paris Express, and the other with UGL Rail and Australian rail infrastructure specialist Coleman Rail to operate the Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport line in Sydney. It is also exploring other opportunities in Europe, Lim says.
The second growth pillar involves sustainability efforts and electrification push, where it has been busy trialing and rolling out EVs.
In Singapore, its private bus company, ComfortDelGro Bus, clinched a S$30 million contract last November to operate an electric bus service at National University of Singapore' s (NUS) Kent Ridge campus. The group owns the largest electric bus fleet in the private unscheduled bus industry in Singapore.
Its joint venture with French energy giant Engie won 75 per cent of the EV chargers in a Singapore pilot rollout. The installation is expected to be completed by the third quarter. The JV is also venturing into the solar renewable energy space and aims to be a " significant player in the clean energy market" .
Similar efforts are seen in the United Kingdom where it operates hydrogen and electric buses in Australia, where it operates hybrid and electric buses as well as in China, where it operates electric and compressed natural gas (CNG) taxis.
" With technology advances, I fully expect our investments into this area to grow by leaps and bounds in the next few years," Lim says.
ComfortDelGro has also started preparing for the advent of AV testing by investing in Foretellix, a company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Israel. Foretellix is developing solutions to address challenges in AV testing and compliance.
" We intend to do more in this area going forward," Lim says.
Investment opportunities are also being pursued in the logistics-related area.
In November 2021, the group entered into a 60:40 joint venture that will enable it to gain a foothold in the fast growth logistics industry in China. Under the agreement, newly set-up Guangxi ComfortDelGro Logistics will buy a fleet of up to 35 trucks by the end of this year to deliver concrete to private and government projects in Guiping and Guigang in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in Southern China, where ComfortDelGro is already the largest taxi operator with a fleet of 854 taxis in the capital Nanning.
ComfortDelGro has also been building up its capabilities in the non-emergency patient transport business, as it seeks to cater to the needs of an ageing population. In 2018, it bought National Patient Transport Pty Ltd (NPT) in Australia, and last year, it set up ComfortDelGro MedCare Pte Ltd in Singapore. Earlier this year, it acquired a 90 per cent stake in Ming Chuan Transportation Pte Ltd, one of the largest wheelchair transport service providers in the city-state. With that, it now has a fleet of 92 vehicles, making it the largest wheelchair transport service provider in Singapore.
Doing medical transport well
Lim says: " Not anyone can set up a medical transport service and do it well. There are specialised skills involved. As a major fleet operator with three years of operating knowledge in Australia, we feel we are now ready to up the game in Singapore."
He shares that while China' s zero Covid-19 policy has affected operations, its taxi business in the mainland has continued to perform well due to strong assistance from regulators.
" Unfortunately, policy changes and weak demand following the Covid-19 outbreak has made it more difficult for us to continue operating in the driver training sphere and we have started divesting our interests in these ventures," Lim says.
While the group had to shelve its initial public offer plans for its Australian subsidiary due to challenging market conditions close to the launch of the offering, Lim says this does not change its ambitious expansionary plans for Australia, which remains " very much a key investment destination" for ComfortDelGro.
Year to date, the group' s shares are up 5 per cent, at S$1.46 each on Friday (Feb 11).

With 18 years of experience from running the rail networks in Singapore' s North East Line, as well as the award of a S$1.13 billion deal to operate rail services in Auckland, New Zealand last year, Lim believes the group is ready to grow its rail business. After all, the group has amassed a wealth of knowledge and experience in the key areas of technical, customer service and disaster recovery. It has also been achieving world class reliability standards across the fleet for two years running now.
ComfortDelGro has been shortlisted in two other rail tenders - one in Paris with French transport giant RATP Group to operate Lines 15, 16 and 17 of the Grand Paris Express, and the other with UGL Rail and Australian rail infrastructure specialist Coleman Rail to operate the Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport line in Sydney. It is also exploring other opportunities in Europe, Lim says.
The second growth pillar involves sustainability efforts and electrification push, where it has been busy trialing and rolling out EVs.
In Singapore, its private bus company, ComfortDelGro Bus, clinched a S$30 million contract last November to operate an electric bus service at National University of Singapore' s (NUS) Kent Ridge campus. The group owns the largest electric bus fleet in the private unscheduled bus industry in Singapore.
Its joint venture with French energy giant Engie won 75 per cent of the EV chargers in a Singapore pilot rollout. The installation is expected to be completed by the third quarter. The JV is also venturing into the solar renewable energy space and aims to be a " significant player in the clean energy market" .
Similar efforts are seen in the United Kingdom where it operates hydrogen and electric buses in Australia, where it operates hybrid and electric buses as well as in China, where it operates electric and compressed natural gas (CNG) taxis.
" With technology advances, I fully expect our investments into this area to grow by leaps and bounds in the next few years," Lim says.
ComfortDelGro has also started preparing for the advent of AV testing by investing in Foretellix, a company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Israel. Foretellix is developing solutions to address challenges in AV testing and compliance.
" We intend to do more in this area going forward," Lim says.
Investment opportunities are also being pursued in the logistics-related area.
In November 2021, the group entered into a 60:40 joint venture that will enable it to gain a foothold in the fast growth logistics industry in China. Under the agreement, newly set-up Guangxi ComfortDelGro Logistics will buy a fleet of up to 35 trucks by the end of this year to deliver concrete to private and government projects in Guiping and Guigang in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in Southern China, where ComfortDelGro is already the largest taxi operator with a fleet of 854 taxis in the capital Nanning.
ComfortDelGro has also been building up its capabilities in the non-emergency patient transport business, as it seeks to cater to the needs of an ageing population. In 2018, it bought National Patient Transport Pty Ltd (NPT) in Australia, and last year, it set up ComfortDelGro MedCare Pte Ltd in Singapore. Earlier this year, it acquired a 90 per cent stake in Ming Chuan Transportation Pte Ltd, one of the largest wheelchair transport service providers in the city-state. With that, it now has a fleet of 92 vehicles, making it the largest wheelchair transport service provider in Singapore.
Doing medical transport well
Lim says: " Not anyone can set up a medical transport service and do it well. There are specialised skills involved. As a major fleet operator with three years of operating knowledge in Australia, we feel we are now ready to up the game in Singapore."
He shares that while China' s zero Covid-19 policy has affected operations, its taxi business in the mainland has continued to perform well due to strong assistance from regulators.
" Unfortunately, policy changes and weak demand following the Covid-19 outbreak has made it more difficult for us to continue operating in the driver training sphere and we have started divesting our interests in these ventures," Lim says.
While the group had to shelve its initial public offer plans for its Australian subsidiary due to challenging market conditions close to the launch of the offering, Lim says this does not change its ambitious expansionary plans for Australia, which remains " very much a key investment destination" for ComfortDelGro.
Year to date, the group' s shares are up 5 per cent, at S$1.46 each on Friday (Feb 11).

manulife reit after share placement stayed put at usd 0.645
Dear Investor
Wishing you and your loved ones happy Chinese New Year, and a prosperous and roaring year ahead! 🍊 🍊
Manulife US REIT (MUST) yesterday reported its FY 2021 financial results. In 2H 2021, MUST&rsquo s DPU added 1.5% YoY to 2.63 US cents, due to lower provision for expected credit losses and higher car park income, offset by lower rental income from higher vacancies. For FY 2021, DPU declined 5.5% YoY to 5.33 US cents due to higher rental abatements, lower car park income and lower rental income from higher vacancies, partially offset by net reversal of provision for expected credit losses. As announced on 30 November 2021, as a result of MUST&rsquo s private placement to raise proceeds for the acquisition of three properties, the advanced distribution of 2.31 US cents for the period from 1 July to 8 December 2021 will be paid on 17 February 2022, with the remaining 0.32 US cent to be paid on 30 March 2022.
 
In our CEO Jill Smith&rsquo s words: &ldquo 2021 was a tale of two halves.&rdquo MUST saw a stronger portfolio performance in the second half. We signed leases with longer WALE, saw net effective rents improve +3.4% from 1H 2021 to 2H 2021, and portfolio valuation turned positive for the first time since the start of COVID-19, rising 0.4% over the six months to US$1.98 billion as at 31 December 2021. As at the end of 2021, the REIT recorded a stable occupancy of 92.3%. It executed ~654,000 sq ft in leases or 12.0% of the portfolio by NLA.
 
We ended 2021 on a high, with the delivery of our strategy to enter into high-growth markets with greater exposure to technology and healthcare tenants. These were our first acquisitions in two years. These three acquisitions, totalling US$202 million, with a DPU accretion of +2.8%, will raise our assets under management in growth markets by 38.1% to 29.0%, and our exposure to such tenants by 32.0% to 12.8%.
 
Some of you have asked us why retail investors were not able to participate in the equity fundraising. Our Chief Investor Relations & Capital Markets Officer Caroline Fong explained in a recent REITsWeek interview that the type of equity fundraising selected depends on the size of the deal, timing of the transaction, market conditions, investors&rsquo interest, and deal accretion to DPU. Based on the size and timing of the latest acquisition, which is bundled from three different third-party vendors, the private placement route was chosen to enable a swift completion, as any of the vendors could have walked away from the deal should they receive a more compelling offer. We want to thank all Unitholders who supported our US$100 million equity fundraising which was more than 2.5X covered, despite being completed in the midst of the Omicron outbreak. As we continue to grow, we will provide opportunities for Unitholders to grow with us, just as we have in the past.
 
Going forward, the U.S. office sector will remain a core part of MUST&rsquo s portfolio. In 2022, we will focus on improving leasing to drive income, while futureproofing the business through portfolio rejuvenation and improving MUST&rsquo s green credentials to capture rising demand for green office space. With the support of our Sponsor, we will continue to expand our exposure to growth markets and tenants in the Sun Belt/magnet cities, explore JVs/M& A and capital recycling, so as to deliver sustainable returns to Unitholders.

Dear Investor
Wishing you and your loved ones happy Chinese New Year, and a prosperous and roaring year ahead! 🍊 🍊
Manulife US REIT (MUST) yesterday reported its FY 2021 financial results. In 2H 2021, MUST&rsquo s DPU added 1.5% YoY to 2.63 US cents, due to lower provision for expected credit losses and higher car park income, offset by lower rental income from higher vacancies. For FY 2021, DPU declined 5.5% YoY to 5.33 US cents due to higher rental abatements, lower car park income and lower rental income from higher vacancies, partially offset by net reversal of provision for expected credit losses. As announced on 30 November 2021, as a result of MUST&rsquo s private placement to raise proceeds for the acquisition of three properties, the advanced distribution of 2.31 US cents for the period from 1 July to 8 December 2021 will be paid on 17 February 2022, with the remaining 0.32 US cent to be paid on 30 March 2022.
 
In our CEO Jill Smith&rsquo s words: &ldquo 2021 was a tale of two halves.&rdquo MUST saw a stronger portfolio performance in the second half. We signed leases with longer WALE, saw net effective rents improve +3.4% from 1H 2021 to 2H 2021, and portfolio valuation turned positive for the first time since the start of COVID-19, rising 0.4% over the six months to US$1.98 billion as at 31 December 2021. As at the end of 2021, the REIT recorded a stable occupancy of 92.3%. It executed ~654,000 sq ft in leases or 12.0% of the portfolio by NLA.
 
We ended 2021 on a high, with the delivery of our strategy to enter into high-growth markets with greater exposure to technology and healthcare tenants. These were our first acquisitions in two years. These three acquisitions, totalling US$202 million, with a DPU accretion of +2.8%, will raise our assets under management in growth markets by 38.1% to 29.0%, and our exposure to such tenants by 32.0% to 12.8%.
 
Some of you have asked us why retail investors were not able to participate in the equity fundraising. Our Chief Investor Relations & Capital Markets Officer Caroline Fong explained in a recent REITsWeek interview that the type of equity fundraising selected depends on the size of the deal, timing of the transaction, market conditions, investors&rsquo interest, and deal accretion to DPU. Based on the size and timing of the latest acquisition, which is bundled from three different third-party vendors, the private placement route was chosen to enable a swift completion, as any of the vendors could have walked away from the deal should they receive a more compelling offer. We want to thank all Unitholders who supported our US$100 million equity fundraising which was more than 2.5X covered, despite being completed in the midst of the Omicron outbreak. As we continue to grow, we will provide opportunities for Unitholders to grow with us, just as we have in the past.
 
Going forward, the U.S. office sector will remain a core part of MUST&rsquo s portfolio. In 2022, we will focus on improving leasing to drive income, while futureproofing the business through portfolio rejuvenation and improving MUST&rsquo s green credentials to capture rising demand for green office space. With the support of our Sponsor, we will continue to expand our exposure to growth markets and tenants in the Sun Belt/magnet cities, explore JVs/M& A and capital recycling, so as to deliver sustainable returns to Unitholders.
