Conclusion

>12% 2-yr clean forward yields forecast for DLT, TEX, Hospitality, TWR, REB and AWA. Lowest

2-yr yield is RES, followed by HYP, then Fortress

Resilient and Fortress have highest estimated net foreign exposure of roughly 35% and 50%

Corresponding 2-yr yields for NEP and ROC average at circa 5.0%

Redefine and Growthpoint also benefit from effective foreign exposure near 20% level

Price-to-book versus forecast total ROE of SA property stocks Contents

Sources: Company data, SBG Securities (Pty) Ltd estimates

SAPY performance

Property share

value comparisons

Conclusion

Average SAPY P/B ratio still below parity - e.g. GRT adjusted P/B at 0.94

Our ROE measure includes expected 12m increases in NAV in addition to cash ROE – our proxy

for forecast equity capital gains of REITs is 24m forward average annualised EPS growth

Counters that lie furthest under the “value-line” remain Hospitality and Delta

Most expensive is RES followed by HYP – but the chart would not fully take account of longer-

term relative growth or quality of underlying physical portfolio

SAPY performance

Property share

value comparisons

Conclusion

Our PEG ratio uses forecast EPS growth in second rolling year as proxy for long-term

sustainable growth. LT growth and 12m forward yield are effectively weighted equally

Best value REITs by this measure (lowest PEG): HPA&B, ILU, DLT, LDO, TEX, SSS

Most expensive PEGs are Resilient, followed by Growthpoint then Hyprop

SAPY performance

Property share

Conclusion

SBG Securities Research downgraded Rebosis to Hold in the last quarter after reducing

forecast EPS for the expected dilutive effects in FY17 from its proposed acquisition of

recently developed shopping centres

Emira was also downgraded to Sell owing to doubts about its ability to bounce back from

its guided 2% decline in FY17 distributable EPS

Forward clean distributable earnings yields two years out for foreign REITs Contents

SAPY performance

Property share

value comparisons

Conclusion

The highest 2-yr forward distributable earnings yields are measured for Sirius Real Estate

(SRE) at 9.0%, Redefine International (RPL) at 8.6%, followed by Investec Australia (IAP)

and Stenprop (STP) both at 8.3%

We continue to believe that RPL has potential to re-rate towards Capital & Regional (CRP)’s

lower yield, especially in view of its 36% exposure to UK hotels plus Germany

Conclusion

The vote for Brexit has pushed share price discounts to NAV to new lows for pure UK or high UK

exposure property companies

Future reported NAV per share measures for pure UK companies like CCO, CRP and ITU are

likely to fall if the UK falls into recession

Australian REITs have become relatively more attractive versus Europe and SA Contents

Conclusion

Investec Australia Property (IAP) listed at a price far below Investec Property Fund (IPF) but

has now caught its stable-mate’s price, as Australia’s economy and currency outperforms SA

Estimated clean 12m forward yield of IAP is 7.9% in AUD versus 9.4% for IPF in ZAR, but

Australian CPI was last reported at just 1.3% versus 6.1% in SA

IAP’s 12m forward yield of 7.9% also compares favourably to Growthpoint Australia’s (GOZ)

corresponding yield estimated at 6.7%

Conclusion Contents

Developed market interest rate expectations are dramatically lower post-Brexit,

braking the initial rise in the USD, allowing the R186 SA government bond yield to fall

to 8.7% and the SAPY sector to bounce back

Our estimated clean 12m forward yield of 8.0% for Growthpoint (as a proxy for SA

REITs) is little higher than the 6.7% of its GOZ Australian subsidiary, although Australia

has much lower inflation and interest rates. Growthpoint currently trades at a 6%

discount to its adjusted book value, reflective of likely SA property value stagnation

We favour SA Corporate and Hyprop as solid bets among the large SA REITs. While

undeniably cheap, we are wary of the secondary office exposure within Delta and

Tower as well as the 40% UK content within Texton. An important mitigation of SA

REIT asset exposure to UK is that a large portion is effectively hedged through funding

Hospitality (assuming proposed Tsogo Sun deal goes through), Lodestone, Stor-age

and Arrowhead look most attractive of the smaller SA REITs

Of the foreign / dual-listed counters, German industrial and mixed-use property

specialist Sirius still screens surprisingly well, despite its strong recent price rise. We

forecast both strong dividend and capital (NAV) growth for Sirius which operates solely

in the most robust of the EU economies. We avoid companies with high UK exposure

at present, although RPL may have the best re-rating potential within this set

Australian REITs have become relatively more attractive, being more distant from the

troubles in Europe and SA. Notwithstanding its commodities-dependence, the

economy has been one of the best performers in the G10. Investec Australia (IAP)

offers an attractive yield of 7.9% with comparatively low gearing of 29%
