Property Investment Performance
During the period, the Group’s Property Investment portfolio increased by $93 million or 5.5% to $1.8 billion. Occupancy remains strong at 97.4% and the WALE stable at 7.2 years. The Group’s Property Investments portfolio has expanded to include a $108 million investment into social infrastructure via the Folkestone Education Trust (ASX:FET) co investment, to be re-named the Charter Hall Education Trust. Following completion of the Folkestone Limited acquisition, Charter Hall has secured a 15.3% stake in FET.
Continued Property Funds Management Growth
As at 7 November, Group FUM has increased by 13.8%. During the period, the $1.6 billion Folkestone acquisition along with $1.4 billion of net acquisitions and $0.2 billion of capex saw the Group’s managed funds grow to $26.4 billion. There were minimal revaluations during the quarter, with market evidence pointing to further tightening of cap rates, particularly in the office sector.
Charter Hall continues to leverage its highly qualified and experienced in-house development team, providing its full suite of integrated property services to originate 37 office, industrial and retail projects with an on completion value of $3.7 billion, de-risked through pre-leases and fixed price building contracts. The Group has also successfully completed the acquisition of another high-quality development asset at 555 Collins St, Melbourne for the Charter Hall Prime Office Fund (CPOF) and announced another Education development in partnership with Western Sydney University.
Folkestone Acquisition completed
The Group also announces today the successful completion of the scheme implementation agreement for Charter Hall to acquire Folkestone Limited for a total consideration of $205 million, funded by cash from available investment capacity.
Charter Hall’s Managing Director and Group CEO, David Harrison said: “We are very pleased to have successfully completed this transaction and we look forward to the Folkestone team joining Charter Hall and the complementary skills they will bring as we work together to grow the funds management platform. I would like to thank Greg and his executive team, the Folkestone Board and investors for their support.”
The transaction grows Charter Hall’s funds under management (FUM) by $1.6 billion. The acquisition also sees the Group grow its investable universe into the social infrastructure and early learning sector.
Strategy and Outlook
Based on no material change of current market conditions and the completion of the Folkestone transaction, FY19 guidance is for 8-10% growth in post-tax operating earnings per security over FY18.
The distribution payout ratio is expected to be between 85% and 95% of operating earnings per security post-tax.
