CMBS Overview • Commercial Mortgage Backed Securitisation (CMBS) used worldwide since late 1980s as alternative to bank loans for commercial property owners • Part of growing move towards disintermediation (i.e. reduced reliance on traditional bank finance)
CMBS Overview contd • CMBS ± $120bn currently outstanding in Europe • South Africa’s first CMBS was launched in November 2004. Vukile launched second on 31 October, Growthpoint third on 23 November
CMBS Structure • CMBS is a substitute for bank debt through the use of a special purpose vehicle (SPV) • The SPV makes a loan to the borrower and funds this loan by issuing highly rated securitisation notes to capital markets investors • The properties are generally (not always) held in an insolvency-remote subsidiary SPV of the transaction sponsor
CMBS funding costs and benefits • Notes issued by SPV are rated by rating agency (e.g. Moody’s or Fitch) • Due to high credit rating of the notes, capital market investors prepared to purchase with low margin • This low margin translates to lower cost of funds for SPV, which benefit is passed back to borrower as lower margin on loan • In addition to lower funding costs, CMBS offers number of benefits to property owners, including: • Diversified funding base • Decreased pressure on traditional credit lines • Validation of asset and property management functions by the rating agency
Vukile’s securitisation programme • R2 billion CMBS programme arranged by ABSA launched on 31 October 2005 • First issuance of 5 and 7 year floating rate notes totalling R770 million • Floating rate notes converted into fixed-rate exposure through interest rate swaps • Overall debt cost, after all expenses and costs, will reduce from 11.16% to 10% NACM • If in place for year ended 31 March 2005, earnings would have been ± 5% higher than reported • Future benefits if structure is utilised (set-up costs not repeated)
Liquidity • Trading volumes continue to improve : • 6 months to end March 2005 - R137 million • 6 months to end September 2005 – R174 million (± 27%) • Average monthly trade • 6 months to end March 2005 – R22.8 million • 6 months to end September 2005 – R29.0 million
BEE initiatives • Discussions underway which may lead to substantial portion of Sanlam shareholding (58%) sold to BEE consortium
Acquisition of MICC • Vukile currently owns 75.003% of MICC’s issued linked units • Making good progress towards acquiring balance and delisting MICC • Cautionary announcement made on 22 November 2005
Prospects • Continued strong performance expected from property portfolio • Prospects for further reduction in vacancies • Benefits of securitisation will start flowing through in 2nd half and following years • Full-year distribution growth could be similar to interims
