Report

DLT | Calling in reinforcements

Delta Property Fund (DLT) reported HY'18 DPS of 46.4c (+1.0% y/y) which was broadly in line with our forecast and consistent with reaffirmed FY'18 guidance of flat DPS growth. Like for like net property income growth was resilient at 6.8% despite a 210bps increase in vacancies. We view the organic performance during the period as temporary as a large proportion of leases are on a month to month basis and have not rebased to lower market rentals. There are two material events which have weighed on the company over the last year namely the bulk lease negotiation and the potential BEE deal. In the note we provide an update on these pending events, highlight the potential impact from the BEE deal, update our distribution growth forecast and valuation.
