See important disclosures, including any required research certifications, beginning on page 21 Investment case Keppel Land is Singapore’s third- largest listed residential and commercial property developer by total assets. We see deep value in the company, a positive fundamental outlook, and initiate coverage with a Buy (1) rating. We believe Keppel Land has a positive near-term and longer-term business outlook. Near-term, the recovery under way in Singapore’s office market should boost the capital values of its portfolio here (29.1% of our estimated gross asset value [GAV]). In the mid-to-long term, positive demographics and economic developments should support its residential property business in China (28.7% of our GAV) and other emerging Asia markets. Keppel Land’s share price has lagged the rallies of local developers and office REITs over the past 3 months, likely due to its significant China residential exposure, where news flow year-to-date has been poor. Our valuation assumptions factor in these concerns and we see it as trading at an attractive level. Catalysts Key share-price catalysts include a stronger-than-expected Singapore office recovery, which should enhance further the value of Keppel Land’s office portfolio. Divestments of assets at favourable valuations, which could prompt it to distribute special dividends, along with encouraging residential news flow and sales in its key markets such as China and Singapore would also be positives. Our 2015-16E EPS are 11-18% below the Bloomberg consensus forecasts, reflecting mainly our cautious assumptions for Keppel Land’s China business. If China’s residential market were to see positive sentiment return, with steady prices and sales volumes, we believe there could be upside to our (and consensus) numbers. Valuation Our 6-month target price is SGD4.08, based on a 20% discount (ie, 1SD below the Singapore developers’ past- 10-year mean discount to Daiwa’s SOTP values) applied to our SOTP value of SGD5.10/share. Risks The main risks to our call are poor China economic and residential property news flow or sales, and a less robust-than-expected recovery in the Singapore office market.

■ Investment case Keppel Land is Singapore’s third-largest listed residential and commercial property developer by total assets. We see deep value in the company, a positive fundamental outlook, and initiate coverage with a Buy (1) rating. We believe Keppel Land has a positive near-term and longer-term business outlook. Near-term, the recovery under way in Singapore’s office market should boost the capital values of its portfolio here (29.1% of our estimated gross asset value [GAV]). In the mid-to-long term, positive demographics and economic developments should support its residential property business in China (28.7% of our GAV) and other emerging Asia markets. Keppel Land’s share price has lagged the rallies of local developers and

office REITs over the past 3 months, likely due to its significant China residential exposure, where news flow year-to-date has been poor. Our valuation assumptions factor in these concerns and we see it as trading at an attractive level. ■ Catalysts Key share-price catalysts include a stronger-than-expected Singapore office recovery, which should enhance further the value of Keppel Land’s office portfolio.

Growth outlook Singapore office: prime grade-A capital values (SGD/sq ft)

We believe Keppel Land offers a positive business outlook both in the short term and long term. In the short term, the recovery under way in Singapore’s office market (see chart at right) should boost the capital values of Keppel Land’s portfolio here (29.1% of our estimated GAV). In the medium-to-longer term, positive demographics and economic development should support its residential development business in China (28.7% of our estimated GAV) as well as other emerging Asia markets where it has a presence (eg, Vietnam and Indonesia). Source: Jones Lang LaSalle, Daiwa forecasts

Valuation Keppel Land: rolling PBR bands (x)

We derive our 6-month target price of SGD4.08 by applying a 20% discount to our SOTP valuation of SGD5.10/share. Our 20% discount is at 1SD below the Singapore property developers’ past-10-year mean discount to Daiwa’s SOTP values. We see this as fair given that the physical residential markets in both Singapore and China are weak currently. We see deep value in Keppel Land, both on an SOTP and PBR basis. Based on the company’s BVPS as at the end of 1Q14, the stock is trading currently at a PBR of just 0.75x, above 0.6x, which represents 1SD below its past-10-year average trading range.

Earnings revisions Keppel Land: EPS forecasts – Daiwa vs. consensus

Since the start of 2014, the Bloomberg-consensus EPS forecasts have been cut by 8.5% for 2014 and 7.2% for 2015, and raised by 4.6% for 2016. Our core EPS forecasts are in line with those of the consensus for 2014and 11-18% below those for 2015-16. We believe this is because we factor in 20% ASP declines over the 2014-16 period, in view of market concerns about China’s residential market. If the company’s China ASPs were to remain steady or decline less than we expect, there could be upside to our (and consensus) forecasts. Source: Bloomberg, Daiwa forecasts

Unduly undervalued

We see deep value in Keppel Land and believe it is a key beneficiary of the current upturn in the Singapore office market. Longer-term, we see positive fundamental outlooks for the residential property markets in which it operates.

Initiating with a Buy rating and target price of SGD4.08

We initiate coverage of Keppel Land with a Buy (1) rating and 6-month target price of SGD4.08, derived by applying a 20% discount to our 2014E SOTP value. We see deep value in the Keppel Land stock, and believe its current discounts to our estimated SOTP value of SGD5.10/share and its BVPS of SGD4.58 (as at end-1Q14) are excessive. Typically, we value the Singapore property developers at a 20% discount to our SOTP values for them, based on the trading histories of the 2 largest developers in Singapore – CapitaLand and City Developments – relative to Daiwa’s SOTP values since August 2004. A 20% discount is at about 1SD below their past-10-year trading discounts to Daiwa’s SOTP values. We note that they have rarely traded below this level, save in the midst of the global financial crisis back in 2008.

Trading at a deep discount to our SOTP value At its current share price, Keppel Land is trading at a discount of 32% our SOTP value per share, and 25% to its latest reported book value. We believe these discounts, and the fact that Keppel Land’s share price has lagged the share-price rallies of Singapore residential developers and office REITs over the past 3 months, are probably due to Keppel Land’s significant exposure to the China residential market, where news flow over the past few months has generally been poor. We apply deep discounts and what we consider as conservative assumptions (detailed subsequently) in our valuation of the company’s China residential business, which makes up SGD2.03/share, or 28.7% of our estimated gross asset value (GAV) within our SOTP model. In our view, the China property sector continues to be underpinned by good fundamentals, where quality and well-capitalised developers such as Keppel Land should continue to do well.

A key beneficiary of current Singapore office market upturn Keppel Land’s Singapore office business makes up 29.3% of our estimated GAV for the company, representing the highest proportion of our SOTP value for the Singapore property developers under our coverage. We are positive on the Singapore office sector for 2014, and see Keppel Land as a key beneficiary in the developer space of the current office market upturn. Potential for special dividends when divestments take place Keppel Land’s dividend policy is to distribute up to one-third of net realised profits to shareholders. The company has paid out higher dividends in the past when it divested or restructured its stakes in various assets, and we see the potential for a special dividend payout if it has gains from the sale of any major assets going forward, such as MBFC Phase 2.

Singapore office: top grade exposure

In our view, Keppel Land has, among the highest-quality and largest office exposure of the Singapore listed property developers. This is held through its 44.7% interest in Keppel REIT (KREIT SP, SGD1.23, Outperform [2]) and its direct stakes in several buildings in downtown Singapore. The office sector – a bright spot in 2014 We are positive on the Singapore office sector, and believe that unlike the trend for other segments of the property sector, Singapore office rents look set to appreciate in 2014. We forecast annual average (CBD prime grade-A) rents to increase by 5.4% YoY for 2014 and 6% YoY for 2015, after a reported decline of 0.7% YoY for 2013. While our base scenario is for fairly muted growth compared with previous recoveries, we see upside potential for office rents if there is office-space demand from large occupiers new to Singapore.

For further details on the outlook for the Singapore office real-estate market, please see our report on Singapore Office REITs, A bright spot in 2014, published on 18 February 2014. KREIT – loaded with grade-A assets With 87.5% of its SGD7.2bn total portfolio as of end-2013 in grade-A Singapore office properties including Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) Phase 1, Ocean Financial Centre, and One Raffles Quay, KREIT (and by proxy, Keppel Land) is a prime beneficiary of the current upturn in the Singapore office sector. The REIT also holds a few grade-A office properties in Australia.

Source: Company, *Daiwa estimates for Keppel Land's SOTP

Going by Keppel Land’s previous divestments to KREIT, such as with Ocean Financial Centre, MBFC Phase 1, and One Raffles Quay, we believe a monetisation of its stake in MBFC Phase 2 (Tower 3) through KREIT in the future is likely and would be positive for Keppel Land. Management has remained tight-lipped about the timing of the transaction. However, given that MBFC Tower 3 has been completed for over 2 years and has achieved a high committed occupancy, we believe divestment could potentially take place towards end of this year or next year. The exact impact on the financial year’s profit is unclear, given that the costs, quantum of revaluations, and Keppel Land’s carrying value of the joint venture is not disclosed. Based on our estimates and assuming a selling price of SGD2,600/sq ft (a marginal premium to

DBS’s purchase price for a 30% stake in December 2012 and the Savills valuation commissioned by DBS which put the market value at about SGD2,545/sq ft), total development profits from Tower 3 are likely to be in the order of over SGD450m. Gains recognised in the year of divestment itself could be much lower, given previously recognised fair value gains. Nonetheless, from a cash flow and capital structure perspective, divestment of MBFC Phase 2 would unlock substantial value. Given that Keppel Land’s dividend policy is to pay out one-third of realised profits, we think the divestment could prompt it to pay out an additional SGD0.10/share in special dividends in the year of divestment. Coupled with our DPS forecasts of SGD0.09 per year, this should bring its yield up to 5.5% in either 2014 or 2015. Depending on the reinvestment opportunities available to the company, the balance could be either redeployed or returned in investors to boost its return profile.

China residential: driving profits in coming years

Keppel Land entered China in the 1990s, and ventured into residential development there with Shanghai in 2000. Its foray into township developments (large-scale self-contained neighbourhoods, offering reasonably priced homes amidst a comprehensive range of amenities, with convenient mass-transport connectivity to the city and surrounding areas) from 2003 has been a major driver for its presence in China. At the end of 2013, Keppel Land had sold over 22,000 homes and completed more than 20,000 homes in China. Constructive house view on China property Our China property analysts have a positive view on the China property sector, seeing continued revenue and

profit-making opportunities for strong players given that demand remains well-supported by deepening urbanisation and rising income levels. In their view, demand will support prices in tier 1-2 cities, and over-supply is occurring mainly in some tier-2 and tier-3 cities (with differentiation by districts within those cities as well). Within China, Keppel focuses on the following tier 1-2 cities – Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Wuxi, and Tianjin. While bank credit has continued to tighten, our China property and banking analysts believe the banks will remain supportive of quality developers and home buyers. A massive landbank in China As of the end of 1Q14, Keppel Land had a landbank in China of almost 7.7m sq m in GFA, with 37,980 units totalling 5.6m sq m in area in its residential landbank.

Of these 37,980 units, 14,909 are part of township developments. While Keppel Land has not added any new township sites since 2009, with long gestation periods and multiple development phases for these projects, township developments still represent a significant part of Keppel Land's China residential exposure.

Value of China sales almost quadrupled in 2013; ASP of overall sales rising Keppel Land’s China residential business had a stellar 2013, selling 3,870 units, more than double the units it did in 2012, with the value of sales almost quadrupling to reach CNY5.4bn, helped by a significant jump in the average ASP of units sold due to the mix of units sold as well as ASP increases.

Exceptional margins on a number of projects According to our estimates, Keppel Land generates very high margins on some of its projects, which we believe will help to sustain the company’s overall profitability when revenue from these projects is recognised upon their sale and completion. 8 Park Avenue. One of the first sites acquired by Keppel Land in China, the 33,432sqm site (which yields an estimated total GFA of 133,393sqm) cost SGD80m in 2000. Six towers totalling 552 units have already been fully sold and handed over to buyers. At its current ASP of CNY72,000/sq m, we estimate a margin on cost in excess of 500% for units currently being sold at the remaining four towers (which total 366 units).

Eight units were sold at the project in 1Q14, and at the end of the quarter, 240 units remained for sale. Two of these 4 towers were completed in 2013, with another 2 due to be completed in 2016. The Botanica (Phase 7). The land cost for the 42-ha Botanica township site was CNY441m in 2003. The final phase of the 9,664-unit development is due to be completed in 2Q14, with just 184 units remaining unsold as of end-1Q14. Applying the ASP of CNY8,500/sq m achieved for Phase 3 in 2013, we estimate a margin on cost of over 150% for units in the last phase. Stamford City. Keppel Land announced the acquisition of the Jiangyin site for Stamford City in 2006. The 82,987sq m site, with a total GFA of 299,802sq m (excluding commercial area) was purchased for CNY460.3m. Applying the ASP of CNY9,500/sq m achieved for Phase 3 in 2013, we estimate a margin on cost of over 90% for units now being sold at the project. At Stamford City, a phase totalling 155 units was completed in 1Q14, with a further 616 units expected to be completed within the next 2 years. Discounting Keppel Land’s China residential business: our basis To address investors’ continued concerns about the China residential market, we apply a number of deep discounts and conservative estimates (in our view) to derive our numbers for Keppel Land’s residential business in China. Namely, we assume:

• A 20% discount to project ASPs, where disclosed by the company or consultant estimates of ASPs for the area/housing type are available (although the company has not generally noted declines in ASPs and has typically been able to launch new phases of projects at higher ASPs than previous phases).

• On other projects where we do not have reliable ASP estimates (mainly for sites under planning/review), we account for them at cost.

• A 50% haircut on the development profits that we expect to be recognised beyond 2018.

After discounting the above, we derive a valuation of SGD2.03/share for Keppel Land’s China residential business, representing 28.7% of our GAV.

Singapore residential: valuable plots

In Singapore, Keppel Land is known for having developed a portfolio of mid to high-end projects, especially in the Keppel Bay precinct where it obtained land through the moving out of the old Keppel Shipyard in 1999. The company has also participated very selectively in government land sales (GLS) tenders in recent years. Keppel Land: Singapore residential projects under development and launched as of end-2013

Preserving values in Keppel Bay precinct Given the amount of land that it has an interest in the Keppel Bay precinct, Keppel Land has had a strong incentive to do its part to preserve the value of land and homes in the area, which we feel it has done fairly well. The first of the Keppel Bay projects – the 969-unit Caribbean at Keppel Bay – was launched in 2000 at about SGD800/sq ft. Sales were slow, but rather than

dropping prices aggressively to move sales, the company furnished and leased out unsold units instead. Sales resumed when sentiment improved. According to URA REALIS data, the cumulative ASP achieved for primary developer sales was SGD847/sq ft. Caribbean at Keppel Bay: primary sales statistics

Following this, the 1,129-unit Reflections at Keppel Bay was launched in April 2007. Its first release of 350 units was 90% sold at around SGD1,900/sq ft, although the massive size of the development and a relatively soft high-end market meant the project has yet to fully sell out after 7 years. Again, rather than cutting prices, Keppel Land has set aside 154 units as corporate residences. According to URA REALIS data, cumulative ASP achieved for new sales recorded up to 28 April 2014 was SGD1,994/sq ft. At the end of 2013, 65 units of the project remained for sale by Keppel Land.

The 366-unit Corals at Keppel Bay, located along the historic King’s Dock, was launched in May 2013. According to URA REALIS data, the cumulative ASP achieved for new sales recorded up to 28 April this year was SGD2,201/sq ft, illustrating that the general trend of rising prices for the area remained intact. At the end of 2013, 197 units of the project remained for sale by Keppel Land.

Corals at Keppel Bay: primary sales statistics

Source: URA (REALIS), Daiwa

A beneficiary of the Greater Southern Waterfront It was first announced in 2012 that Singapore’s container port activities would be consolidated at Tuas (in the west end of the island), for more efficient port operations and to free up prime land occupied by the city terminals for redevelopment. Preliminary conceptual plans for this endeavour were unveiled by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) in its Draft Master Plan 2013, and envisioned a Greater Southern Waterfront, “to be a seamless extension of the city that will open up new live-work-play opportunities”. Map of City Terminals and Pasir Panjang Terminals

Source: URA

Relocation of the City Terminals (Tanjong Pagar, Keppel and Pulau Brani) is likely to take place first, with their port leases expiring in 2027, and Pasir Panjang thereafter. While details have yet to be fleshed out on the redevelopment plans, the transformation of the area and a potential extension of the city centre should be positive for land and home values in the area.

In our SOTP valuation, we have valued Keppel Land’s landbank in the area (Keppel Bay plots and KTGE) assuming ASPs of SGD1,800/sq ft, a construction cost of SGD450/sq ft, and a 15% margin on cost, implying a residual land value of SGD1,115/sq ft or SGD653m (based on Keppel Land’s effective stakes). For each +/- 10% change in assumed ASPs for the area, we estimate a sensitivity of +/- SGD0.05/share to our SOTP value. Overall, we believe the carrying cost for these sites is low and Keppel Land has great flexibility in releasing these projects for sale given that they do not fall under the ambit of the 2005 revision to the Residential Property Act, which requires developers with foreign ownership to complete projects within 5 years of the issuance of a Qualifying Certificate and sell all units within 2 years of obtaining the Temporary Occupation Permit (failing which a substantial extension charge is levied). In our opinion, they thus pose minimal operational risk, and represent valuable “call options” on the Singapore residential market. Less sanguine on GLS sites ... Keppel Land participates in GLS tenders fairly selectively, and has won just a few sites in recent years. The Lakefront Residences, beside Lakeside Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station, and The Luxurie, beside Sengkang MRT station, were built on GLS sites won in 2010 and 2011 respectively. Both have been fully sold, with completion expected in 2015. The Glades – the difference 6 months made. Keppel Land’s only currently launched GLS project that remains substantially unsold is the 726-unit The Glades, near Tanah Merah MRT. The company won the site in August 2012, with a bid of SGD435m, or SGD791/sq ft per plot ratio (ppr). As part of a strategic alliance, a 30% stake in the project was taken up by China developer Vanke (Not rated). We estimate the project’s breakeven ASP to be about SGD1,200-1,250/sq ft. Launched in September 2013, 120 units had been sold as of the end of 2013. Recorded transactions in URA REALIS up to 28 April 2014 indicate an ASP of SGD1,462/sq ft. The impact of the total debt servicing ratio (TDSR) implemented at the end of June 2013 is seen clearly here, with 585-unit Urban Vista (diametrically opposite The Glades, with reference to the Tanah Merah train station) earlier selling 220 units over its 3-day launch weekend in March 2013 at an average of SGD1,500/sq ft.

“Rival project” Urban Vista: primary sales statistics

Source: URA (REALIS), Daiwa

Urban Vista is now essentially fully sold, with 6 units left as of end-1Q14 after discounting by the developer. URA REALIS data recorded up to 28 April indicate a new sale ASP for the project of SGD1,440/sq ft, an average pulled up by strong initial sales. With competition out of the way, we expect sales for The Glades to step up, albeit at slightly moderated prices. Highline Residences – rising competition. The company is also set to launch Highline Residences in Tiong Bahru, purchased in April 2013 through a GLS tender at a land cost of SGD1,163/sq ft ppr, during or after 2Q14. We think the site has excellent merits, but with a rash of projects being launched along the Queenstown to Tiong Bahru stretch, we believe buyers of the area are also quite spoilt for choice. Launches in District 3 (Alexandra Road, Tiong Bahru, Queenstown) expected in 2014

The take-up rate and achieved ASPs at City Development’s Commonwealth Towers, adjacent to Queenstown MRT, could be an indicator of how Highline Residences will fare. According to press reports, 210 out of 400 units released on Commonwealth Towers’ launch day (1 May) were sold, although the achieved ASP for these 210 units was not disclosed. Given Highline Residences’ location closer to the Central Business District and popularity of the Tiong

Bahru area amongst yuppies and expatriates, we think a small premium could be achieved by Keppel Land’s project. We estimate a breakeven ASP of about SGD1,600-1,700/sq ft, and expect pricing to be in the range of SGD1,700-1,900/sq ft. ... but we see a fairly low likelihood of a write-down In late February this year, Wheelock Properties (Not rated) announced that it was writing down SGD110m for The Panorama condominium project, located at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 2 and a few minutes’ walk from upcoming Mayflower MRT station (which should be completed in 2021, 2-3 years after the development). Wheelock had purchased the site in January 2013 for SGD550m, or SGD790/sq ft ppr. According to an article published on 27 February this year by The Straits Times, just 58 sales at a median price of SGD1,343/sq ft had been recorded at the 658-unit project post its launch the prior month. We think that while Keppel Land’s sites were similarly bought pre-TDSR and launched afterwards, the take-up rate should be much better as long as pricing is reasonable, given that the sites are well located. We estimate overall project ASPs of SGD1,350/sq ft for The Glades and SGD1,750/sq ft for Highline Residences, at which Keppel Land should still be able to extract slim single-digit development margins. A +/-10% change in ASPs, ceteris paribus, would result in a +/- SGD0.02 and SGD0.03 change to our SOTP values per share, respectively.

Other overseas markets

Besides Singapore and China, Vietnam and Indonesia are core growth markets for Keppel Land. Amongst the major property developers in Singapore, Keppel Land is also distinctive in having undertaken an opportunistic investment approach in promising frontier markets like Myanmar and Sri Lanka. Compared with other property companies in Singapore, Keppel Land has a comparatively salient emerging Asia focus, as it sees these countries having more favourable demographics and economic growth profiles for sustainable longer-term growth. Vietnam – first-mover advantage; in for the very long haul Keppel Land started investing in Vietnam in the early 1990s, around the same time as it did China, entering Hanoi in 1991 to develop International Centre and Ho Chi Minh City in 1992 to develop Saigon Centre. The company also has an interest in the PetroVietnam

Vietnam’s property market appears to be slowly recovering from its recent slump. According to property consultancy Savills Vietnam’s 1Q14 Property Price Index report for Ho Chi Minh City, housing prices have been stable and improved slightly over the past 5 quarters, with market liquidity expected to continue in an upward trend. Keppel Land’s Vietnam residential sales have also bounced back from 2012, when only 8 units were sold. ASPs for its current key project in District 2 of Ho Chi Minh City, The Estella, are currently at USD1,550/sq m. Keppel Land: Vietnam residential sales

Indonesia – opportunistic developments Keppel Land owns the International Financial Centre in Jakarta, and has an 80% interest in retail mall BG Junction in Surabaya. It is currently building Tower 2 of the International Financial Centre, expected to be completed in 2015 with a NLA of 50,200sq m.

In the residential segment, the company previously held a 51% stake in Jakarta Garden City, a 270-ha integrated township, which it divested to its local partner in November 2013 for net proceeds of SGD237m (divestment gain of SGD149m). It then recycled part of the proceeds into a 3-ha residential site in Jakarta, close to the West CBD of Jakarta. The site was purchased for IDR400.8bn, or SGD42m, and Keppel Land expects to develop it into a 3,000-unit project targeted at the middle income segment. The project is expected to be launched in 2015. Others – a foot in to other emerging markets and new frontiers Keppel Land also has residential and commercial projects in other emerging Asian countries, including India, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Thailand. Its latest foray was to Sri Lanka in 2012 via a joint venture with local property developer CT Holdings, with its maiden project there (the 279-unit Belvedere premium condominium in the Kotahena District of Colombo) expected to be launched in 1H14.

Fund management: growing steadily

Keppel Land’s fund management business consists of the management fees it receives from KREIT, which was listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange in 2006, and funds managed under wholly owned real estate investment manager Alpha Investment Partners (AIP). As at end-2013, Keppel Land had total assets under management (AUM) of SGD17.7bn-7.2bn from KREIT and SGD10.5bn (when fully leveraged and invested) from AIP.

**MBFC – Marina Bay Financial Centre

Office. We value Keppel Land’s stake in Keppel REIT using Daiwa’s dividend discount model-derived target price of SGD1.28. We value its stake in MBFC Phase 2 using DBS’s purchase price of a 30% stake in December 2012, with a marginal appreciation assumed given the passage of time and improvement in the office market. For its stake in Equity Plaza and others, we have valued them using the valuations of comparables. Residential. We value FCL’s residential businesses at their estimated book values plus the net present values of their residential profit as at the end of 2014. We have used discount rates of 8% for Singapore, 12% for China, and 15% for the other markets, based on our assessment of the risks and required returns in these markets. As discussed earlier in the China residential section, we have also applied additional discounts in our valuation of the China residential business, in view of market concerns about the China property sector.

Fund management business. We value Keppel Land’s fund management business at a multiple of 13x our 2014E EBIT of SGD59.9m for the segment. This multiple, consistent with the multiple we apply to value the fund management businesses of other Singapore-listed developers in our coverage, is based on the average 1-year forward EV/EBIT multiple for ARA Asset Management (ARA) (Not rated) since it was listed in 2007 (14.5x up to the end of April 2014). ARA is an Asia real-estate fund-management company focused on the management of publicly listed REITs in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia, and private real-estate funds that invest in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and China. We subtract our forecasts for net debt and other net liabilities of SGD3.8bn (see our SOTP table above) as at the end-2014 to derive our SOTP value of SGD5.10/share for Keppel Land.

Catalysts

Stronger-than-expected office recovery News flow from the office sector has been fairly positive, with new spaces such as CapitaGreen (a soon-to-be completed grade-A office tower at Market Street in the CBD) seeing satisfactory take-up and rates. If more office-space demand from large occupiers new to Singapore comes in, we believe this would be a positive catalyst, strengthening the rate of rental growth in this recovery. A much stronger-than-expected recovery could also boost the case for cap rate compression in the sector, further enhancing the value of Keppel Land’s office assets.

Divestments of office assets Keppel Land’s key office assets are MBFC Phase 2 (Tower 3) and Equity Plaza, respectively 10.6% and 3.0% of its GAV. Completed in March 2012, MBFC Tower 3 had a committed occupancy of 96% as of end 1Q14, and we believe is quite ready for sale, although the office market only recently troughed. Going by its previous divestments to KREIT, we believe a monetisation of its stake in MBFC Phase 2 through KREIT, once it happens, would be positive for Keppel Land. With the unlocking of capital, we believe Keppel Land could pay at least an additional SGD0.10/share in special dividends in the year of divestment, which would bring that year’s yield up to 5.5%, or an even larger special dividend, which could give its ROE profile a healthy boost. It was also recently announced that a sale of Equity Plaza may be in the works. According to a Business Times report, the price may be around SGD550m to SGD560m, or SGD2,177-2,217/sq ft. This is about 10% above our current valuation for the building. Stronger-than-expected China residential sector news flow or sales Given Keppel Land’s significant exposure to the Chinese residential market, positive sector news flow should provide a boost to Keppel Land. Reporting good sales figures, especially at key projects, will also be positive for the company. Resilient Singapore residential sales The Singapore residential property market has continued to soften, with various price indices registering declines across the board. With a number of launches, such as City Development’s Commonwealth Towers (launched on 1 May) and Keppel Land’s Highline Residences (upcoming), a good take-up could be read positively for the strength of demand and the underlying market.

Risks

Poor China residential sector news flow or sales We consider this as the main risk to our positive investment view on Keppel Land. Poor sector news flow could continue to be a drag on China residential developers and developers with significant exposure to the sector, such as Keppel Land. We note, however, that this could provide opportunities for stronger developers like Keppel Land, who might be able to pick up some distressed assets when the wheat is being sorted from the chaff.

Specific to Keppel Land, it would be negative if sales did not rebound from 1Q14’s seasonal weakness. While we have what we consider as fairly conservative numbers, weakness in overall sales and at key projects such as 8 Park Avenue may pose downside risks to the consensus forecasts. Disappointing office recovery An upturn in the Singapore office sector is by now a consensus call. It currently appears to be progressing as per market expectations; but any pause or slowdown may cause concerns about the sustainability of the recovery.
