September 2013 quarter portfolio update

DEXUS Property Group (DEXUS) today announced its portfolio update for the quarter ended 30 September 2013, making solid progress on leasing and continuing to deliver on key elements of its strategy.

Darren Steinberg, DEXUS CEO said: “Over the quarter we maintained our proactive leasing approach and focus on delivering quality customer service. This, combined with the adoption of best practice systems, has produced solid results in a challenging leasing market, with activity centred on properties located in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

“We successfully divested $71.5 million of non-strategic properties and continued to actively manage our capital through the commencement of a $245 million buy-back, resulting in the buying back and cancellation of approximately 74 million of securities.”

Proposal to acquire Commonwealth Property Office Fund (CPA)

On 25 July 2013, DEXUS announced that it had acquired, by way of a forward contract, a 14.9% interest in the ASX-listed Commonwealth Property Office Fund (CPA), which comprises a $3.7 billion[1] prime grade Australian office portfolio. On 11 October 2013, DEXUS presented an indicative, nonbinding joint proposal with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) (the Proposal) to the responsible entity of CPA, Commonwealth Managed Investments Limited (CMIL), to acquire all of the units[2] in CPA for a cash and DEXUS scrip consideration.

DEXUS also submitted to the Commonwealth Bank of Australia an indicative and non-binding proposal outlining a potential facilitation of the Proposal and transition of the management of CPA, referred to by DEXUS as the ancillary proposal. On 14 October 2013, the Board of CMIL advised that the Proposal did not provide a compelling value proposition to CPA unitholders and would not grant access to due diligence material or progress the Proposal at this time.

Darren Steinberg said: “We acquired our initial interest in CPA at an attractive price and remain patient and disciplined.”

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS

During the quarter, DEXUS was involved in the leasing or renewal of a total of 67,592 square metres[3] of space across 61 transactions. Total portfolio occupancy[4] reduced slightly to 94.5% at 30 September 2013. The Office portfolio occupancy[4] improved from 94.4% to 94.7% at 30 September 2013.

With an improving profit outlook and an uptick in business confidence post the election outcome, we expect this enquiry to translate into leasing over the next 12 months.

“DEXUS continues to benefit from businesses migrating from suburban to CBD properties and a flight to quality within the CBDs. Our customers are seeking to drive business efficiencies by consolidating from multiple locations into one, most notably across the legal, insurance and accounting sectors, with increased activity from serviced office providers.”

During the September quarter 32,557 square metres of office space was leased across 45 transactions including securing heads of agreement over 11,814 square metres. The major successes were the five year lease extension with IBM at Southgate, Melbourne across 11,485 square metres and the six year, nine month lease extension with Lumley General Insurance at 88 Shortland Street, Auckland across 5,283 square metres.

Occupancy by area for the office portfolio increased slightly by 0.3% and remains strong at 94.7% and the portfolio weighted average lease expiry (WALE) remains stable at 4.9 years.

DEXUS‟s proactive leasing strategies for newly acquired properties continued to demonstrate success during the quarter. At 39 Martin Place, Sydney five new leases and one lease renewal were secured across 2,011 square metres with a weighted average lease term of 6.7 years, increasing the property‟s occupancy to 94%, up from 74% on acquisition in February 2013.

Across the three Sydney CBD properties acquired since October 2012, a total of 23 new tenants have been secured over 9,839 square metres of space. The refurbishment of 50 Carrington Street, Sydney was completed and the implementation of an active leasing strategy enhanced occupancy from 61% to 82%.

An increase in the valuations of two properties during the quarter was driven by the leasing results achieved in the current uncertain market. The office portfolio capital value increased $13.9 million, reflecting a 3.0% increase across these properties compared to prior book values.

The NABERS Energy rating for the DXS office portfolio increased from 4.7 stars at 30 June 2013 to 4.8 stars at 30 September 2013 following the achievement of increased ratings at ten properties across the office portfolio.

During the September 2013 quarter DEXUS leased 35,035 square metres of industrial space across 16 transactions.

Key successes included securing a 10 year lease over 12,246 square metres to Cotton On at Wacol, South Brisbane and Allied Pickfords‟ lease renewal over 8,672 square metres at Foundation Place for a further seven year term.

Occupancy by area for the industrial portfolio decreased from 95.9% at 30 June 2013 to 94.3% at 30 September 2013, following the completion of an 11,854 square metre[8 ] speculative facility at DEXUS Industrial Estate, Laverton North. The industrial portfolio WALE was slightly lower at 3.9 years, impacted by short term leases at Gillman, South Australia and AXXESS Corporate Park, Mount Waverley.

Developments

Quarry at Greystanes, Sydney

The three developments at Quarry at Greystanes in joint venture with the Australian Industrial Partnership are progressing on schedule and on budget:

  • A $14.3 million, 10,100 square metre facility pre-leased to Roche Diagnostics for a 15 year term is due for practical completion in December 2013

  • A $29.9 million, 17,815 square metre facility pre-leased to Blackwoods for a 15 year term is due for practical completion in December 2013

  • Following the recent leasing of the first multi-tenanted speculative facility, DEXUS commenced a second speculative warehouse in September 2013. The $26.1 million[9] , 19,480 square metre facility is due for practical completion in March 2014

Laverton North, Melbourne

Practical completion on the Toll Transport pre-committed 18,670 square metre facility was achieved in July 2013 with the tenant taking occupancy on 1 October 2013.

Erskine Park, Sydney

Practical completion was achieved on the 30,256 square metre multi-unit estate at 57-75 Templar Road, Erskine Park in March 2013. The property is currently 82% occupied with a focus on leasing the remaining space.

Wacol, Queensland

Practical completion was achieved on the remaining 12,246 square metre speculative building in July 2013. A ten year lease was secured with Cotton On, which commenced on 1 October 2013.

Andrew Whiteside, DEXUS Group General Manager, Developments, said: “We are pleased with the progress our team has made on leasing the two trading properties at Erskine Park and Wacol, which are now being prepared for sale.”

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
30 September 2013 30 June 2013
Gearing 30.9% 29.0%
Duration of debt 5.2 years 5.4 years
Current cost of debt 5.8%10 5.9%11
Headroom $0.2bn $0.3bn

Craig Mitchell, DEXUS Chief Financial Officer, said: “Focusing on our active and strategic approach to capital management we commenced an on-market securities buy-back of up to $245 million. During the quarter we secured approximately 74 million securities at a weighted average price of $1.0211 per security, enhancing returns for our investors.

“Over the past three months we issued short-term commercial paper, increasing the diversity and improving the cost of debt. We continued to be active in the medium term note (MTN) market through completing a partial MTN buy-back, while maintaining strong debt duration of greater than five years, which is ahead of our target.”

DEXUS‟s cost of debt as at 30 September 2013 was 10 basis points lower at 5.8%, mainly driven by the reduction in floating interest rates.

THIRD PARTY FUNDS MANAGEMENT

Craig Mitchell said: “Our third party funds business continues to deliver on performance and strategy for our capital partners. DEXUS Wholesale Property Fund‟s (DWPF) committed development and fundthrough pipeline, together with forecast growth in all our existing funds, provides the capacity to substantially expand our funds management platform.”

DWPF maintained its strong performance delivering a total return of 8.83%[12] for the 12 months to 30 September 2013, outperforming its benchmark over one, three and five year periods.

SUMMARY

Darren Steinberg said: “Over the past 18 months we have shown our ability to execute on our clearly defined strategy and achieve solid results in an uncertain leasing environment.

“We remain confident of delivering on our guidance[13] for FFO for the year ending 30 June 2014 of 8.15 cents per security and a distribution of 6.12 cents per security, which excludes any upside from the on-market securities buy-back or the 14.9% economic interest in CPA.”

10 As at 30 September 2013.

11 Weighted average across the year to 30 June 2013, inclusive of fees and margins on a drawn basis.

12 Post fees.

13 Barring unforeseen circumstances. Assumptions include: 75% payout ratio, delivering 2.5-3.5% like-for-like NOI growth across the office and industrial portfolio, circa $4m in trading profits and circa 6% cost of debt.
