CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) is one of the biggest real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the Asia Pacific region and the largest REIT in Singapore by market capitalisation and total portfolio property value.

CICT was formed after the successful merger between CapitaLand Commercial Trust (CCT) and CapitaLand Mall Trust (CMT) recently.

With that, let’s look at five important things investors should know about CICT right now.

1. Properties Under CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust

CICT’s portfolio comprises of 24 properties in the retail, office, and integrated developments space.

Singapore accounts for 96 per cent of its portfolio property value, with the remaining 4per cent in Germany.

CICT’s retail and office occupancies were at 97.0 per cent and 93.0 per cent, respectively.

4. Gearing ratio

CICT had a gearing ratio of 40.5 per cent, as of end-June 2021.

The ratio is well within the previous regulatory limit of 45 per cent and the revised ratio of 50 per cent.

5. Covid-19 update

CICT’s retail malls, which were under CMT previously, have seen volatile tenant sales and shopper traffic numbers over the past few quarters, given the surge in Covid-19 cases and government restrictions put in place.

As for the office properties in Singapore, around 37 per cent of CICT’s office community has returned to work (for the week ended Sept 3, 2021).

CICT last traded at a unit price of $2.11 on Sept 23.

At that price, it’s selling at a price-to-book ratio of around 1.0x and a distribution yield of 4.9 per cent (obtained by annualising the 2021 first-half distribution per unit (DPU) of 5.18 cents).
