Observations :
- REIT Prices seems to alternate between +ve & -ve cycles for the past 4 years
- There appear to be a correlation to the STI, but with over-swings
Comments :
Perhaps when STI is +ve, REIT Mgrs will take the opportunity to aggressively issue New Equities for Acquisitions and these are usually Value Destructive. This will then be followed by a cycle of consolidation where DPU drops, followed by prices drop and finally, for acquired assets to stabilize (Initial Acquisition Related Expenses will Depress DPU) and start accrue to DPU.
To date, 2014 appears to be following the above cycle. STI is +ve and a few REITs have been issuing new equities to fund acquisitions..
Action :
Make hay while he sun shines? Most REITs are not suitable for long term hold as REIT Mgrs don’t align shareholders’ interest to their own interest (increase AUM to increase their own income). So far, I can only find FCT which have DPU which increases y-o-y since listing. Other REITs have Mgrs who recalculate past DPUs using newly enlarged Share Base to mislead Unit Holders of an increasing DPU y-o-y trend…

-
NeraTel has three core businesses, namely Wireless Infrastructure Network (WIN), Network Infrastructure (NI) and Payment Solutions (PS):

- A new controlling shareholder. Northstar through its subsidiary Asia Systems acquired 181.1m NeraTel shares representing a controlling 50.1% stake from Nera ASA at S$88.8m or S$0.49/share in Nov 12. Northstar only managed to secure another 12m NeraTel shares in the subsequent general offer at the same price of S$0.49. In total, Northstar garnered a 53.4% stake in NeraTel at the close of the general offer in Jan 13.
- Direct sourcing generated margin expansion. NeraTel acquired the Nera trademark and secured non-exclusive rights to provide microwave radio solutions in Middle East & North Africa in 2011. It has streamlined itself by using an ASEAN-based contract manufacturer to produce its own range of microwave transmission equipment instead of purchasing them from Nera ASA. The reorganisation helped improved gross margin from 23.7% in 2010 to 28.6% in 2011.

Growth drivers/catalysts: NeraTel’s order in-take has increased 21.2% yoy to S$121m in 1H13. Management expects growth to be driven by the WIN business:
a) Radio Access Network (RAN) Optimisation. NeraTel has secured a couple of orders for distributed antenna systems, which enhances in-building coverage for mobile operators.
b) 3G Data Offloading Using WiFi. Many mobile operators will be using small cells to extend coverage areas, increase network capacity and offload data traffic through the internet.

- Unlocking value of PS business. NeraTel will be positioned as a network company. The accompanying PS business could be carved out as a separate entity. It could be listed/spin-off through an IPO. Management intends to provide more detailed financial information to help investors understand the value of its different businesses, including separate profit & loss, balance sheet and cash flow statements for the PS business.
- Capital management and dividend policy. NeraTel has a solid balance sheet with net cash/share at S$0.07 as of Jun 13. It could gear up to improve its ROE, which was 30.5% in 2012. Management is in the midst of reviewing its capital structure and intends to have gearing at a conservative level. The optimal capital structure will be decided based on stability of cash flows, requirements for capex and opportunities for M&A.
- NeraTel has already paid interim dividend of 2 cents/share. We expect management to maintain final dividend at 4 cents/share, bringing dividend for the full year to 6 cents/share. The stock currently provide lucrative dividend yield of 8.2% based on current share price of S$0.73.
- Invest to acquire new capabilities. Management intends to pursue mergers & acquisitions in the areas of RAN optimisation and 3G data offloading, particularly companies that could provide local fulfilment in regional countries.
- Management targets to double earnings over the next 4-5 years. NeraTel is able to tap on Northstar’s expertise, especially their knowledge and connections in Indonesia.
- Attractive valuation. NeraTel trades at forward PE of 10.6x based on consensus estimate. Its peers in the WIN space include Ceragon Networks (loss making), Ntegrator International (loss making) and Keppel Telecommunications & Transportation (forward PE at 14.1x).
