The SREITs diversifying out of Singapore into Australia made a mistake. They went into a market they understood less well, and a market that was not as strong as perhaps they thought it was. The result was diluting the strength of being Singaporean.    |

FLCT to divest commercial building in Australia for A$192.1 million, exiting Melbourne CBD office market
The trust&rsquo s manager says the sector continues to suffer from challenging conditions
 
[SINGAPORE] Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust : BUOU +0.59% (FLCT) will divest an office building in Melbourne&rsquo s Central Business District (CDB) for A$192.1 million (S$161.4 million), as it seeks to exit the Australian city&rsquo s office market and focus on logistics and industrial properties.
 
The divestment consideration represents a 0.6 per cent premium over an independent valuation of A$191 million as at Jun 1, 2025, the manager of FLCT said in a bourse filing on Wednesday (Jul 16). The amount will be paid in cash.
 
The sum is also based on a sale price of A$195.3 million, after deducting outstanding tenant lease incentive liabilities, the manager added. 
 
The purchaser of the 25-storey freehold office building, located at 357 Collins Street, is an unrelated third party. The sale will be conducted through Collins Street Landholding Trust, a sub-trust of FLCT.
 
FLCT&rsquo s manager noted that the asset valuation has remained at around A$191 million since September 2024, &ldquo reflecting challenging market conditions in the Melbourne CBD office sector&rdquo .
 
It said that the divestment marks a strategic exit from the sector, which &ldquo continues to suffer from remote work culture&rdquo and an elevated vacancy level of 18.6 per cent. Subdued tenant demand has also led to rising incentives. 
 
After the divestment, FLCT&rsquo s portfolio weighting towards logistics and industrial assets is expected to increase to 74.2 per cent from 72.4 per cent, &ldquo in line with FLCT&rsquo s strategic objective of achieving higher allocation to high-quality&rdquo properties within that segment, the manager said.
 
It added that the divestment &ndash expected to be completed by Sep 30 &ndash will raise FLCT&rsquo s overall portfolio occupancy rate to 95.2 per cent from 93.9 per cent, and enhance the weighted average lease expiry profile to 4.8 years from 4.6 years.
 
Anthea Lee, chief executive officer of FLCT&rsquo s manager, noted that the move &ldquo represents another strategic step in our ongoing portfolio reconstitution, which allows us to extract value from a commercial property and re-weight our portfolio towards logistics and industrial properties&rdquo . 
 
Reits and tech lead net institutional inflows Frencken chair and DHLT CEO raise their stakes
&ldquo The proceeds from the sale will also provide FLCT with enhanced financial flexibility to pursue opportunities in the logistics and industrial space,&rdquo she added. 
 
The manager estimates net proceeds of S$159.3 million, after a projected divestment cost of S$2.1 million. The amount will be used to fund acquisition opportunities, repay existing debt, and for general corporate and working capital requirements, the manager added.
 
It also noted that if the proceeds are fully used to repay debt, FLCT&rsquo s aggregate leverage would be lowered by 1.5 percentage points to 34.6 per cent from 36.1 per cent on a pro forma basis. The trust&rsquo s debt headroom will also rise to around S$2.1 billion post-divestment.

Thank you, superstartup,...... I browsed thru some materials and presentation slides, nothing around for us to do an intelligent guess on when will the loan interest rate peak. But there is one more ' new' problem. Mgmt is beginning to take their fees in cash. They used to take 100% of their fees in units in FY24.

I believe the exact details are not publicly available. However, a few brokerage firms had stated along the following :  " Management guided that its average funding cost is likely to rise to mid-3% post refinancing the remaining S$395m of debt maturing in 4QFY25F." I suppose the guidance was provided at the usual result / analysts  briefing as I don' t seem to read about it from the company announcement. But I stand to be corrected.

All their earlier loan packages need to be refinanced to the current rate first, then only will their distributable income (DI) starts to stabilize and not experience anymore year-on-year drops. DI stabilizing will cause dpu payout to stabilize too. How do we find out when will the last loan packages at the earlier lower rates be refinanced ?

This reit has one of the lowest cost of debt over the last 2 to 3 years. As their loans were properly hedged at the right timing then. Hence the rising interest rate environment did not hit them as hard as other reits over the last few years in term of cost of debt. However, the high interest rate environment persists, and with the hedging running out (expired), the cost of refinancing shoot up. Even as of now, their cost of Debt is still relatively low which is " not good" as this year financing will be done at much higher rate now. Another impact is China. Those avoiding China usually avoid this reit too, as Australia economy relied on China a lot.  |

I had substantial hldgs here too,... my hldg price was a good $1, but even this price is not good enough today. The rental collection (revenue) & npi (adjusted) are good, they are growing year-on-year. So,... the properties seems to be right, but what did you notice, bro ?  My opinion says the drop in dpu has always been abt the increasing loan expenses for this REIT. The following statement from the Press Release is referred :- Distributable income for 1HFY25 was correspondingly lower at S$113.0 million, from S$130.7 million in 1HFY24 after taking into account the higher finance costs, higher tax expense and 56.9% of 1HFY25 management fees paid in the form of cash. And to aggravate the situation, they are now taking more of their fees in cash. When a REIT Mgr starts taking her fees in cash, it will ' lessen' the dpu payout. There willl be justifications, no doubt, to taking fees in cash but not in units, but the net effect is a lower dividend payout to unitholders. So,.. we have to ask : when will the high interest rates start to get neutralised ?

Looks like DPU will continue to come under pressure. Without the capital distribution, the DPU would have fallen below 3 cents.  FLCT has made a number of questionable acquisitions since 2022. SH ought to make Manager accountable. Taking on debt in an high int rate environment buying assets of suspect quality (UK biz parks really?).    FLCT used to have an enviable gearing lower than 30%. In 2022, its DPU was 7.6 cents. Today, DPU is falling below 6 cents, despite FLCT gearing level rising from mid-20% to now approaching 40%,  Shareholders gotta ask whether the current Managers are worth the millions paid to them yearly.   |
