IREIT Global Review @ 26 August 2021

Basic Profile & Key Statistics

IREIT Global invests in office and retail properties which currently owns 36 properties across Germany, Spain and France.

Performance Highlight

The increase in gross revenue, NPI and distributable income is mainly due to the consolidation of the operating results of the Spanish properties after it acquired the remaining 60% interest on 22 Oct 2020. The actual DPU for 1H 2020 before account for the rights issue is at 2.85 cents, in another word, DPU decreased YoY by 19.3% due to an enlarged unitholder base.

On 28 July, IREIT completed the acquisition of 27 retail properties in France which was funded through debts, private placement and preferential offers.

IREIT would divest the multi-storey car park adjacent to Darmstadt Campus at above valuation. This is expected to be completed in 4Q 2021.

In the coming 2H, IREIT performance would be boosted by the newly acquired Decathlon Portfolio contribution. However, due to the enlarged unitholder base from the rights issue in October 2020 and preferential offers in July 2021 (not yet included in the 1H result), IREIT DPU would be lower if we compare it with the absolute DPU amount for periods before October 2020. Together with the result announcement, IREIT mentioned that with effect from 17th Aug 2021, IREIT can be traded in both in € and S$. The distribution currency would be changed as well, from S$ to € starting for upcoming distribution.
