x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	ARA Asset Management (ARA SP): BUY  Market Cap: US$870m | Average Daily Value: US$0.66m Last Traded Price: S$1.18 Price Target: S$1.57 (Upside 33.1%) (Prev S$1.57)  Analyst Derek Tan  +65 6682 3716  [email protected] Rachel Lih Rui Tan  +65 66823713  [email protected] Strong quality earnings 1Q16 earnings of S$19.4m in line S$100m cash available to fund growth initiatives ADF 1 likely to see minimal promote fees Attractive valuations, BUY!  The lack of newsflow and activity post the recent rights issue has resulted in a weak share price performance for ARA, which is unwarranted. We see 2016 as another banner year, supported by the widely anticipated launch of Asia Dragon Fund 3 (estimated AUM of S$1.0bn and above) and a growing AUM base as positive catalysts to share price. Our S$1.57 TP is based on sum-of-the parts valuation.      Positioned to capture opportunities.  Armed with S$100m in capital from its recent rights issue, ARA is well positioned to capture opportunities that may arise in 2016. The group is hunting for deals in key markets of China, Australia, Korea and Japan. In addition, we understand that the group has invested close to S$200m as seed capital in its various funds, with an unrealised gain of US$21.7m, implying a return in the low-mid teens.      Country desk strategy in target markets of China, South Korea and Australia.  ARA has put in place experienced local real estate professionals as heads of its various key markets (China, Korea, Australia, Malaysia, Japan, India/GCC) that the group is keen in deepening its real estate expertise, and thus gain further assess to deal flow in these respective markets. Therefore, having a combination of local real estate expertise and insights, coupled with ARA&rsquo s extensive reach to global capital partners should allow the group to remain nimble, anticipate trends and capitalise on any opportunities that may arise. We understand that China, South Korea and Australia are in focus in the immediate term.      Valuation:  We maintain our BUY call and TP at S$1.57 based on (i) 18x PE on its FY16F recurring fee income and (ii) market price of its REITs.      Key Risks to Our View:  Execution risk.  Given pre-determined timeframes for most of its private funds, a prolonged downtown could result in the group not extracting full value upon exit of its various funds.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	ARA Asset Management Limited (ARA) announced their financial results for the year ended 31 Dec 15 on 4 Feb 16, after trading hours. Key pointers: 1. Full year revenue dropped 10% from S$173 million in FY14 to S$156 million in FY15. However full year adjusted net profit increased 16%, from S$62 million to S$72 million.  2. Due to the rights issuance, they cleared a huge chunk of their debt and strengthened their balance sheet. Current cash and current ratio to 2.05 and 4.22.  3. FY15 was a very busy year of acquisition and divestment. Suntec REIT had successfully acquired 3 floors of strata office space at Suntec Tower Two at a purchase consideration of S$101.6 million. Suntec also divested Park Mall for $411.8 million in conjunction with its 30% interest in the joint venture with SingHaiyi Group and Haiyi Holdings to develop Park Mall. Cache Logistics Trust acquired a total of 6 Australian properties worth approximately A$163.8 million. Cache also recycled their capital by divesting Kim Heng Warehouse for S$9.7 million at 9% premium over the original acquisition price. Fortune REIT divested Nob Hill Sqaure for HK$648 million at 2.9% yield. 4. ARA&rsquo s Asset Under Management (AUM) increased 11.6% from S$26.7 billion in FY14 to S$29.8 billion in FY15. You can find more info at the following SGX website.
