Strong Occupancies Underpin Stable Income

CITI'S TAKE

Buy We expect UI Boustead REIT's (UIBREIT) first set of results (since listing on

12-Mar-26) to have a neutral share price reaction, given the limited Price (27 Jul 26 17:06) S$0.84

financial disclosures, while the NPI miss (vs. IPO forecast) should be Target price S$1.00

neutralized by a beat on JV results and significant improvement in Expected share price return 19.0%

occupancies (especially at 2 Japan properties which are now 100% from Expected dividend yield 8.2%

forecasted S$31.6m), mainly due to weaker Yen vs. SingDollar and delay in lease brandon2.lee@citi.com

commencement for a vacant unit at UIB Konan Phase 2 (UIBK2). On the bright side,

better performance at Razer SEA HQ and 6 Tampines Industrial Avenue 5 resulted in

share of results from JV (S$3.3m) at 30.3% above IPO forecast, which should

neutralize the NPI miss on our estimates. Gearing of 36.4% (-0.6%pts

QoQ; excluding Consumption Tax Debt Facilities which will be refunded by FY27E)

implies ~S$130m of debt headroom before hitting 40%, but upon completion of
