Filinvest REIT IPO

Filinvest REIT (FREIT), a subsidiary of Filinvest, aims to raise up to US$240m in its Philippines listing.

FREIT’s initial property portfolio consists of 16 office towers located in Northgate Cyberzone, Alabang, and one office tower in Cebu City with an aggregate office space GLA of 299,158 sqm and 2,204 sqm of retail GLA. The portfolio will have a weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of 3.8 years with an occupancy of 89.7% as of Mar 2021. The Properties were valued at PHP48,547.4m (US$965m).

Given the recent restructuring of the REITs assets, its past financials aren’t of much use. However, looking at the operational data of its existing portfolio, FREIT doesn’t appear to have had a very good FY20 and even FY21 doesn’t appear to be shaping up well.

Having said that, the REIT does have a strong sponsor with a rich pipeline of ROFR assets.

We looked at the background of the REIT in our earlier note, Filinvest REIT IPO - Almost like a single asset REIT, COVID hasn’t been kind.

In this note, we will comment on valuation and run the deal through our ECM framework.
