SGX lists eight actively traded S-Reits with properties in the United States (US). Five out of the eight S-Reits have pure exposure to the US and among them are three US office S-Reits. 
The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on May 13 announced that fully vaccinated individuals do not need to wear masks outdoors and can avoid wearing masks indoors in most places, and updated that life can begin to return to normal despite caution issued by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Nonetheless, US Office S-Reits remain sanguine about companies' return-to-office plans and are adapting to agile and "new normal" arrangements as the US continues to push for normalcy and re-opening of sectors and industries. 
The three US Office S-Reits trade at an average price-to-book ratio of 0.98 times and average 7.8 per cent in distribution yield. All of the three have average committed occupancy rates of over 90 per cent, above the average Class A US office average of 84 per cent, and have weighted average lease expiry (WALE) that range from 4.3 to 5.3 years. 
Manulife US Reit (MUST), which has an occupancy rate of 92 per cent, has observed more tenants gradually returning to the office with May 2021's portfolio physical occupancy at 20.0 per cent, versus 13.3 per cent seen in Jan 2021. The Reit notes that offices continue to remain relevant as companies adopt a hybrid model and the majority of employers do require the same if not more office space post Covid-19, driven by the demand for rising headcount and social distancing needs.

MUST sees post-Covid-19 themes such as the acceleration of population and company migration to magnet cities, growing tech sector, strong demand for health care, and fast developing knowledge economy to provide uplift for the Reit. MUST has a focus to target magnet cities which are defined as having attributes such as growing tech tenants, population growth, business friendly and lower costs of living.

Prime US Reit (Prime) sees interest in its assets pick up as tenants make longer-term leasing decisions, despite the current low physical occupancy. Its current portfolio occupancy rate is at 91.7 per cent. Some of its tenants which include Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo have also made plans for employees to return to the office by July 2021.

In securing new leases, Prime notes that its new tenants are largely from diverse established and technology sectors. The Reit observes that the US office transaction market has shown signs of activity in recent weeks and it is actively exploring acquisition opportunities in its target markets.

Keppel Pacific Oak US Reit (KORE) has a 91.6 per cent portfolio committed occupancy rate and believes that the rollout of vaccines and removal of restrictions is raising confidence and optimism. LaSalle Network's Office Re-Entry Index shows that 70 per cent of CEOs, human resources and finance leaders are planning for employees to return to the office by fall 2021.

KORE has a focus in markets with exposure to technology hubs and tech-tenancy. Its recent leasing activities are driven mainly by demand from professional services, finance and insurance, and technology. Over 37 per cent of its current portfolio by net lettable area comprises tenants from technology and medical and healthcare.  REIT Watch is a weekly column on The Business Times, <a href="https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/us-office-s-reits-half-empty-or-half-full">read</a> the original version.

REIT Watch - US office S-Reits - half empty or half full?

WITHIN Singapore's Reits &amp; Property Trusts (S-Reits) that are listed for trading, there are five (ARA US Hospitality Trust, Manulife US Reit, Prime US Reit, United Hampshire US Reit, Keppel Pacific Oak US Reit) with 100 per cent of assets located in the US and three (IReit Global, Cromwell European Reit, Elite Commercial Reit) with 100 per cent of their assets in Europe.

These eight S-Reits have an average distribution yield of 7.5 per cent and generated positive average total returns of 8.9 per cent in the 2021 year-to-date till May 12.

In the past week, Cromwell European Reit (CE Reit), Manulife US Reit (MUST) and United Hampshire US Reit (UHU Reit) published their business/operational updates for the first quarter of 2021. Common outlook expectations revolved around the recovery of economic activities in 2021 as vaccination roll-outs progress, restrictions ease, daily activities resume and employment data rebound.

With most of Europe still under tight restrictions during the quarter, GDP for the eurozone economy fell by 0.6 per cent quarter-on-quarter, based on preliminary data released by Europe's statistics office Eurostat. CE Reit noted that, barring a further deterioration of the current Covid-19 situation, the eurozone's 2021 GDP growth is projected at 4.1 per cent (according to Oxford Economics). 
CE Reit's gross revenue and net property income (NPI) declined marginally by 0.1 per cent and 0.4 per cent, respectively for Q1 FY2021. This was attributed to prolonged Covid-19 lockdowns in most of CE Reit's countries of operations. However, the Reit believes that there will be higher demand for light industrial /logistics space as e-commerce continues to expand in 2021, supplemented by further demand coming from the reconfiguration and expansion of supply chains so as to be better prepared for future disruptions and consumer demand shocks. In March 2021, CE Reit completed the acquisition of 11 modern logistics assets in Czech Republic and Slovakia. The Reit aims to increase exposure to logistics to 50 per cent of portfolio asset under management (AUM), up from the current 38 per cent. 
In contrast to Europe's GDP contraction in the Q1 2021, the US reported a quarter-on-quarter GDP growth of 1.6 per cent. Both MUST and UHU Reit noted that the GDP rebound indicates momentum coupled with improving unemployment rate, fast-paced vaccination roll-out and two rounds of federal stimulus payments.

In its Q1 FY2021 operational update, MUST reported strong lease renewals (93.6 per cent of leases by NLA) but minimal new leases as prospective tenants continue to stay cautious. Looking forward, MUST expects post Covid-19 themes such as the acceleration of population and company migration, growing technology sector, strong demand for healthcare and fast developing knowledge economy to provide uplift to the Reit. MUST intends to target cities that are business-friendly, have growing technology and healthcare industries as well as robust population growth.

Compared to IPO forecasts, UHU Reit's Q1 FY2021 distributable income was up 1.3 per cent while gross revenue and NPI were down 1.9 per cent and 1.8 per cent respectively. UHU Reit noted that, according to the National Retail Federation (NRF), US retail sales are expected to grow between 6.5 per cent and 8.2 per cent in 2021, underpinned by healthy consumer fundamentals, pent-up demand and widespread vaccination. This was evident in the new and renewal leases signed this quarter, most of which were food &amp; beverage and consumer services tenants.

The Reit also expects trends such as increase in consumer awareness of the benefits of self-storage, an increasingly mobile population and the decluttering of homes to create more efficient workspaces to continue even as the country transitions to a post-Covid environment.

THE FTSE EPRA Nareit Global Real Estate Index Series, designed to represent general trends in eligible real estate equities worldwide, is a widely followed global benchmark with an estimated US$340 billion of assets under management actively benchmarked or passively tracking the indices.

The indexes are built by FTSE Russell, together with the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (Nareit).

A company is eligible if it derives at least 75 per cent of Ebitda from relevant real estate activities, including ownership, trading and development of income-producing real estate. Other criteria include its size as well as liquidity.

As of end 2020, there are 23 SGX-listed real estate related equities in the index series, which includes 19 S-Reits and property trusts. These 19 trusts have a combined market capitalisation of over S$90 billion, representing close to 80 per cent of the S-Reits and property trust sector in Singapore. They generated an average 5.3 per cent total returns in year-to-date (YTD) 2021 till April 15, reversing an average decline of 4.3 per cent total returns in 2020.

The two recent additions to the index series include Ascott Residence Trust, in June 2020, and Parkway Life Reit, in September 2020. Five S-Reits (Frasers Logistics &amp; Commercial Trust, Frasers Centrepoint Trust, Keppel DC Reit, Manulife US Reit and Sasseur Reit) entered the index series back in 2019.

Ascott Residence Trust (ART), the largest hospitality trust listed on the SGX, has an asset value of S$7.2 billion as at Dec 31, 2020 with properties in 38 cities worldwide. Given Covid-19 headwinds in the hospitality industry, ART's FY2020 gross profit declined 41 per cent to S$149.6 million. However, the trust manager noted that its properties with a larger proportion of long stays in markets such as China and Vietnam have outperformed other markets that are dependent on transient travellers. It also believes that there is significant pent-up demand for travel and that domestic, leisure and free independent segments are expected to continue to lead the recovery.

Recently, to enhance the stability of its portfolio, ART expanded its investment mandate to include student accommodation. The trust noted that student accommodation is one of the most resilient real estate asset classes and has maintained high occupancy during the Covid-19 situation in the US. ART's first acquisition of a purpose-built student accommodation asset in the US was completed in February 2021 for US$95 million. The asset, Signature West Midtown, is a freehold property with 525 beds across 183 units located in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia.

ParkwayLife Reit (PLife Reit), the largest healthcare-focused S-Reit, has a diversified portfolio of 54 properties with a total asset value of approximately S$2.02 billion as at Dec 31, 2020. It owns a portfolio of private hospitals in Singapore comprising Mount Elizabeth Hospital, Gleneagles Hospital and Parkway East Hospital. PLife Reit, which generated total returns of 21 per cent, was one of the best performing S-Reits in 2020 and continued to generate positive returns of 7.1 per cent in 2021 YTD.

PLife Reit's FY2020 net property income increased by 4.0 per cent year-on-year, which translated to a 4.5 per cent increment in its distribution per unit across the same period.

The Reit attributed its ability to deliver stable distributions to its strong capital structure.

During FY2020, PLife Reit successfully refinanced all its maturing debts due in 2021, with no debt refinancing requirement till 2022. It believes that the healthcare industry will continue to remain essential in the long run driven by a rapidly ageing population and a greater demand for better quality healthcare and global aged care services.
