COMMENTARY
Introduction
RI Ltd is a listed property loan stock company with shares linked to debentures
to create linked units. RI Ltd holds as its sole asset, currently a controlling
shareholding of 82.3% (81.5% as at 28 February 2011) in Redefine International
plc ("RI plc"). Each linked unit in RI Ltd effectively equates to one share in
RI plc.
RI Ltd was incorporated in South Africa on 11 May 2010 as Kalpafon Limited, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Redefine Properties Limited ("Redefine"). Kalpafon
changed its name to "Redefine Properties International Limited" on 23 July 2010
and acquired Redefine`s interest in RI plc with effect from 1 August 2010 by
issuing linked units.
Background to RI plc
RI plc is a close-ended property investment and development company, listed on
the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ("LSE"). RI plc is a hybrid property
fund which owns investments in commercial and retail properties in the UK,
Switzerland, Germany and the Channel Islands, which provide sustainable
occupancy rates and income flows, together with opportunities for development
and value enhancement. The RI plc company also owns material investments in two
listed companies, being Wichford P.L.C. (currently 21.7%), in the United Kingdom
and the Cromwell Group in Australia (22.2% post the interim period). It recently
extended its investment mandate to include investments in hotel properties.
The RI plc group`s primary objective is to produce sustainable and growing
income for its investors. Underscoring this is RI plc`s pursuit of revenue
enhancing opportunities that provide long-term capital growth and translate into
increasing distributions to shareholders.
Growth in income and distributions is achieved through:
- organic growth from the core property portfolio;
- increased distributions from strategic listed securities;
- yield enhancing acquisitions and disposals;
- development and redevelopment of properties to add value to the property
portfolio;
- containment of costs.
Financial results
Chairman`s statement
The period under review was an active and important one for the Group. Most
encouragingly RI plc returned to overall profitability with both operating
profit and total profit being positive for the first time since the 2008 credit
crisis.
Through the listing on the JSE Limited ("JSE"), the Group was able to
significantly strengthen its statement of financial position, diversify its
investment portfolio into hotel properties and consolidate its strategic holding
in the Cromwell Group in Australia.
The Group`s trading operations performed well and the overall result (including
non-trading items) was a net positive for the period. The trading results were
bolstered by rental income on a number of acquisitions and tight cost
containment. Non- trading results included some write back of previous losses on
interest rate swaps and mark-to-market gains on a number of instruments. There
were limited fair value adjustments on the bulk of the Group`s property
portfolio as the property sector continues to be impacted by liquidity
constraints.
Although it is early days, the new investment in hotel properties has exceeded
expectations and the outlook for the sector and the Group`s strategically
located, quality hotel property portfolio in particular is very promising.
The Group, however, remains cautious about the general economic environment for
the remainder of the financial year. In the UK, banks continue to reduce
exposure to the property sector which will limit any short-term increase in
commercial property values, notwithstanding inflationary pressures.
Interest rates are expected to remain at relatively low levels in both the UK
and Europe in the near term, although the Investment Manager is being cautious
in its interest rate strategy and is budgeting for increases in the bank rate
over the next three financial years.
The boards of Wichford P.L.C and RI plc have agreed in principle to a
combination of the two companies ("the Potential Merger"). An announcement in
this regard was made on 23 March 2011. Expectations are that the Potential
Merger will become effective, subject to the necessary regulatory and
shareholder approvals being obtained, by the end of the third calendar quarter
in 2011.
The Potential Merger is consistent with the Company`s strategy to build a
larger, more liquid company focused on diversified, income-producing investment
properties. The enlarged company will be well placed to deliver attractive cash
returns for investors and competitive total returns over the long-term.
RI plc`s results
RI plc`s results for the six months ended 28 February 2011 have been released
simultaneously with these results and can be found on the website
www.redefineinternational.je or on the JSE`s SENS or the LSE`s Regulatory News
Service ("RNS"). Shareholders will be able to obtain full financial information
and commentary on the performance for RI plc for the six months ended 28
February 2011 by referring to these results.
Wichford P.L.C. ("Wichford")
Wichford delivered a pleasing set of results for the financial year ended 30
September 2010 and met the challenging targets set out at the time of the rights
issue in September 2009.
Earnings per share of 0.90 pence from the trading operations reflected a 4.7%
increase on last year. A final dividend of 0.33 pence per share was paid on
1 March 2011, resulting in income of GBP761 548 for RI plc.
Further details of the Potential Merger can be found in the Company`s
announcement published on SENS on 23 March 2011 and an announcement published by
RI plc on the LSE`s RNS.
Cromwell Group ("Cromwell")
The Company`s investment in Cromwell showed a gain of GBP11.5 million since 31
August 2010 and continued to deliver a 10% yield on the initial acquisition
price.
Cromwell reported first half (period ended 31 December 2011) operating earnings
of AUS$32.9 million, or 3.7 cents per stapled security and advised the market
that it is on track to achieve full year earnings of at least 7.0 cents per
stapled security. In line with its objective of increasing its presence in the
Australian property market, RI plc subscribed for a further 35 million Cromwell
stapled securities in March 2011 resulting in RI plc holding 22.2% in Cromwell.
The transaction consolidates the Group`s position as the largest security holder
in Cromwell and provides significant influence over the affairs of Cromwell.
Property portfolio
In addition to the aggregate Wichford and Cromwell property securities totalling
GBP103 million, as at 28 February 2011 the Group had interests in 99 properties
with a gross rentable area of approximately 3.9 million square feet. These
include four UK shopping centres; a large integrated UK town centre
redevelopment project; well let, low risk, stable income office and commercial
properties spread across the UK and Jersey; six German-based portfolios which
include, shopping centres, supermarkets, petrol stations and a medical centre;
and a supermarket and home depot centre in Switzerland.
Please see Press for the Graph illustrations of the Tenant Profile by Area,
the Sectoral Profile by Area and the Lease Expiry Profile.
As at 28 February 2011, the Group`s property portfolio was valued at GBP510
million and had a vacancy rate of 1.6%.
Listing on the JSE
RI Ltd was successfully listed on the JSE on 7 September 2010. The listing was
preceded by a capital raising with some GBP84 million being raised in the
process and was well-received by the South African investment community. RI
Ltd`s sole asset comprises its shareholding in RI plc with each RI Ltd linked
unit effectively equating to one share in RI plc. RI Ltd currently has 336,5
million shares in issue of which 57.2% or 192,6 million shares are owned by
Redefine.
The issue price under the capital raising was 50 pence per linked unit which
equated to ZAR5.69 per linked unit at an exchange rate of GBP1: ZAR11.37.
Acquisitions and disposals
OBI properties
On 2 December 2010, RI plc announced the effective 50% acquisition of two
properties located in Herzogenrath and Schwandorf, Germany ("the OBI
properties").
The OBI properties are leased to OBI on 15-year leases. OBI is Germany`s leading
DIY chain with over 530 stores throughout Europe, employs over 38 000 employees
and turnover of approximately EUR 5.9 billion in 2009. There are three other
tenants, all national German chains, which account for approximately 10% of the
rental income of the OBI properties.
The OBI properties were acquired for a purchase price of EUR 23 million. The OBI
properties are funded through a senior debt facility of EUR 16.7 million with a
term of seven years and an interest rate of 1.3% above Euribor. An interest rate
instrument is currently being negotiated to fix the interest rate.
Swiss properties
In February 2011, RI plc acquired the remaining 19.54% of Kalihora Holdings
Limited ("Kalihora") which it did not already hold for a total purchase price of
GBP1,007,160. The total purchase price was settled by a placement of 1 694 000
new RI plc shares at a subscription price of 54.5 pence per share with the non-
controlling shareholders of Kalihora ("the Placing"). The balance of the
purchase price of GBP83,930 was settled in cash.
Kalihora, a company that owns two COOP stores in Switzerland, was 80.46% owned
by RI plc, prior to the Placing.
Hotel properties
RI plc completed the acquisition of the Splendid Hotel Portfolio ("the Hotel
Property Portfolio") on 30 November 2010. The Hotel Property Portfolio includes
the following hotels:
- Holiday Inn Brentford Lock, Brentford, London;
- Express by Holiday Inn Limehouse, London;
- Express by Holiday Inn Park Royal, North Acton, London;
- Express by Holiday Inn Royal Docks, London; and
- Express by Holiday Inn Southwark, London.
The total consideration payable after acquisition costs was GBP112 million.
The Hotel Property Portfolio is an exceptional acquisition, as not only is it
London-based, but its track record of occupancy and revenue are exemplary.
A lease agreement has been entered into with Redefine Hotel Management Limited
("RHML"), a subsidiary of the Investment Manager. RHML has the expertise and
resources necessary to effectively manage the Hotel Property Portfolio.
Streatham disposal
An agreement was concluded on 16 December 2010 for the disposal of Ciref
Streatham Limited, a subsidiary company of RI plc that owns two properties in
Streatham, South London. The base sale price of GBP4.85 million is slightly
below the book value of the properties; however RI plc will receive an
additional payment should the purchaser sell the total site for more than an
agreed amount. No value has been attributed to the potential additional
consideration in the interim financial statements.
Payment of the base sale price is due 24 months after conclusion of the disposal
agreement.
Borrowings
The restructuring of the senior debt of the Shopping Centre Portfolio, as set
out in the annual report, has allowed the Group to extend its average debt
expiry profile and the absence of loan to value covenants is an asset in the
current economic environment.
From a UK perspective, RI plc has a conservative debt profile with a current
overall loan-to-value ratio of circa 61%.
Fair value adjustment on debentures
Each linked unit comprises one share and one debenture. The debentures have been
designated at fair value through profit or loss.
Debentures are adjusted to fair value which represents the net asset value
attributable to debenture holders. As one linked unit in the Company is
irrevocably linked to one share in the Company`s subsidiary, RI plc, the fair
value of one debenture is determined by the "ex" dividend net asset value of one
RI plc share as at 28 February 2011 (46.97 pence per share).
Debentures are reflected in the statement of financial position as follows:
28 Februay 2011 31 August 2010
GBP`000 GBP`000
Opening debenture value 76 065 -
Debentures issued at par value 73 895 73 718
Premium on debentures issued 10 126 1 186
Fair value adjustment (1 735) 1 161
Closing debenture value 158 351 76 065
Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated results of the Group for the six months ended 28
February 2011 have not been reviewed or audited by the Company`s auditors KPMG
Inc. They are presented in pound sterling which represents the functional
currency of the Company and are rounded to the nearest thousand.
These condensed consolidated results have been prepared in accordance with the
recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS), the AC 500 series issued by The South African Institute of
Chartered Accountants, the Companies Act of South Africa and the JSE Listings
Requirements. This report has been prepared in terms of IAS 34 - "Interim
Financial Reporting".
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported
amounts of assets. In preparing these condensed consolidated financial
statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the
Group`s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were
the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at
and for the period ended 31 August 2010, for that of its subsidiary entity RI
plc, except as noted below:
Restructured debt
A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e. it is
discharged, cancelled or expires) which may happen when a payment is made to the
lender, the borrower legally is released from primary responsibility for the
financial liability or where there is an exchange of debt instruments with
substantially different terms or a substantial modification of the terms of an
existing debt instrument.
Any difference between the carrying amount of the original liability and the
consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.
The consideration paid includes non-financial assets transferred and the
assumption of liabilities, including the new modified financial liability. Any
new financial liability recognised is measured initially at fair value. Any
costs or fees incurred are recognised as part of the gain or loss on
extinguishment and do not adjust the carrying amount of the new liability.
Accounting for debentures
Debentures are designated as held at fair value through profit or loss. These
instruments are measured initially at fair value, which is the nominal value
less debenture discount, and subsequently measured at fair value.
Fair value represents the net asset value attributable to debenture holders
after adjusting all other assets or liabilities to fair value (excluding
intangible assets).
Market overview
The three major economies in which the Group operates showed mixed economic
conditions during the period under review.
In the UK GDP shrank by 0.5% in Q4 of 2010 (Source: UK Office for National
Statistics), but is expected to grow during Q1 2011. The Bank of England is
being squeezed by an above target inflation rate and a below target growth rate
and is expected to err on supporting growth at the expense of a slightly higher
inflation rate over the medium term. Consumer confidence is fragile and,
although business confidence appears to be building, the economy is likely to
move sideways for the remainder of this financial year. Growth in rentals is
therefore expected to remain subdued, with the result that cash flow and yield
will be the predominant determinants of property returns during this period.
UK banks continue to be net negative lenders to the property sector, effectively
putting a limit on short-term capital growth. More positively, Jones Lang
Lasalle recently published an estimate that equity investors currently have more
than GBP52 billion earmarked for the UK commercial property market. This fresh
equity could materially alleviate any short to medium-term refinancing pressures
for commercial property loans, and support UK commercial property prices.
In Germany and Switzerland the economic recovery continues to gain momentum and
the European Central Bank has commenced the tightening phase with a 25 basis
point increase announced on 7 April 2011. Properties held by the Group in these
geographical regions continue to perform well.
In Australia the economic recovery is proceeding strongly with the Central Bank
already having increased interest rates four times since the interest rate cycle
bottomed.
Post balance sheet events
In addition to the Potential Merger between Wichford and RI plc and the
transaction with Cromwell described above, the following post balance sheet
events took place:
On 5 April 2011, RI plc acquired St Georges Harrow Limited for an effective
purchase price of GBP25 million. St Georges Harrow Limited completed the
acquisition of the St Georges Shopping Centre in Harrow, United Kingdom on 27
April 2011 for a purchase price of GBP68 million (including transaction costs).
Senior debt has been secured on favourable terms with Landesbank Berlin AG.
On 26 April 2011 RI plc announced an issue of 39 283 188 new ordinary shares at
an average price of GBP0.52 per share (the "New Shares"). The New Shares were
admitted to trading on AIM on 27 April 2011 and these New Shares rank pari passu
in all respects with the existing RI plc shares in issue. RI Ltd undertook to
subscribe for 35 731 000 New Shares and on 28 April 2011 issued 35 731 000 new
linked units at a price of R5.80 per linked unit. Subject to receiving the
approval from the South Africa Reserve Bank, the proceeds of the linked unit
issue will be used by RI Ltd to acquire 35 731 000 New Shares in RI plc. Post
the issue and subscription for the New Shares, RI Ltd will hold 372 305 640
shares in RI plc (82.3%).
Prospects
As a consequence of the emergence from the deep recession caused by the global
financial crisis (albeit it at different rates in different countries and
regions), the ultra-loose monetary policy implemented by the world`s leading
central banks is expected to be phased out in the months and years ahead.
The higher nominal interest rate environment, together with higher inflation and
government austerity measures, will be the biggest factors influencing property
returns. The Investment Manager, Redefine International Fund Managers Limited
("RIFM"), believes that the Group`s current investment portfolio is well-
diversified and defensive; and is well-placed to weather these short-term
pressures and provide solid returns to shareholders in the medium to long term.
Factors such as rental indexations to the Consumer Price Index and Retail Price
Index as well as long-term fixed rate debt and lease contracts will benefit the
Group during the economic adjustment period ahead. Economic growth is expected
to revert to trend once the austerity and other measures have had time to feed
through the system.
On a more positive note, the forecasts for hotel income in the period ahead are
very encouraging and hence bode well for RI plc`s annual operating lease review
of its investment in the Hotel Property Portfolio.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") in their recent "UK Hotels Forecast 2011 and
2012" make the following comment:
"... the performance for 2010 was better than our original forecast, closing an
exceptional year for London with overall Revenue per available room ("RevPAR")
growth of 11.4%. Given the better than expected finish to 2010, our 2011
forecast for London is now for slightly lower RevPAR growth of 8.3%, reflecting
harder comparatives and above average levels of new supply; slower growth but no
re-Olympic dip.
"We have introduced some new analysis this time showing how performance compares
to a 22 year long term real RevPAR average. This shows that London has remained
above the long term average of GBP83.20 throughout the downturn (albeit only
just in 2009) and is now heading into very positive territory."
Debenture interest distribution
