嘉德商託新资產启建

(吉隆坡18日讯)嘉德商托(CMMT,5180,主板產业投资信托组)开始与森那美(SIME,4197,主板贸服组)联营的美拉华蒂商场建筑工程,双方各持50%股权,商场位於吉隆坡西北部,可出租面积62万平方呎,高8层,预计2016年杪竣工。

分析

分析员看好以上发展將强化潜在注入资產项目,预计该集团將比其他產托先出手,收购符合条件的购物商场。

大马研究认为,这將强化该集团未来即將注入的资產项目(包括檳城皇后湾商场),通常新商场需至少3年时间,运作才稳定,若考虑注入,有可能是在2020年初。

另外,早前嘉德商托接获丽阳机构(TROP,5401,主板產业组)意向书,欢迎献购旗下Tropicana City购物商场和办公楼资產。

该行指出,嘉德商托正在探討收购该资產,以该集团专注於日常所需的购物广场策略,有信心Tropicana City购物商场和办公楼资產將被纳入组合。

该行相信,皇后湾商场资產回酬增长已具备收购条件及潜在收购Tropicana City购物商场和办公楼资產支撑,嘉德商托將比柏威年產业信托(PAVREIT,5212,主板產业投资信托组)及怡保花园產托(IGBREIT,5227,主板產业投资信托组)先展开收购。

鑑於嘉德商托將於10月24日宣佈第3季业绩,大马研究维持財测不变,重申“买进”评级,目標价2令吉15仙不变。(星洲日报/財经)

AirAsia signs US$1bil pact with China's ICBC

KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia Bhd and ICBC Financial Leasing Co Ltd have signed a memorandum of agreement (MoA) for aircraft financing facilities worth US$1bil (RM3.18bil).

The historical signing, marking the largest financial cooperation yet between Malaysia and China, was witnessed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and President of China, Xi Jinping.

“This is another significant milestone for AirAsia and proudly, another innovation at work. The signing of the MoA establishes the level of confidence that ICBC Leasing has, as a global financial institution, on our current business and future potential,”AirAsia Group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said.

“This US$1bil financing facility agreement does not only reflect a successful bilateral business arrangement, but also underlines the excellent relationship between Malaysia and China,” he added.

Since the beginning of 2011, AirAsia has had sale-and-leaseback, operating lease and finance lease arrangements for 10 A320s aircraft valued at US$800mil with ICBC Leasing and ICBC overseas subsidiary.

With the MoA, ICBC Leasing or ICBC’s overseas subsidiaries will provide AirAsia with competitive financial facilities to acquire A320 aircraft for the airline’s operational needs, in the form of finance lease, sale-and-leaseback or commercial loans.

The number of aircraft to be acquired should be no less than 10, according to the term of the letter of intent. AirAsia and ICBC Leasing will cooperate in the lease ofA320s in batches acquired from ICBC Leasing. Leased aircraft will consist of A320sassembled by Airbus (Tianjin) Final Assembly Co Ltd.

ICBC senior executive vice-president Zhang Hongli, who signed the MoA on behalf of ICBC Leasing, said: “As opposed to directly exporting the aircraft, leasing the aircraft helps the balance of payments between China and Malaysia in terms of annual export statistics, and this will further promote bilateral economic and trade ties.”
