PREFACE:
SEBI cleared the issuance of InvITs and REITs in the year 2014, but due to compliance issues and some technical hitch, it took some time for this new instrument floats in the primary market. First InvITs of IRB InvIT Fund issue came in April 2017 that was followed by India Grid InvIT Fund in May 2017. While maiden InvIT issue of IRB got an overwhelming response and heavily oversubscribed, its poor listing dampen the sentiment and India Grid InvIT faced the music with lower than expected response and also poor listing. Both these InvITs quoting at discount to offer price impacted float of REITs. However, with more transparency and compliance the first ever REITs of Embassy Office Park REITs filed its offer documents in September 2018and is now hitting the Indian Capital market in this month.
While InvITs and REITS are popular in global markets as the safe investment instruments for the long term, REITs are the most preferred investment tool. In fact, REITs are in existence in the US market for more than five decades and the most popular and preferred as long term investment option across the class of investors. For the Indian market, it is the maiden issue and the first mover in this segment.
ABOUT THE COMPANY:
An Embassy Office Parks REIT (EOP REIT) is not merely a workspace—it is a space built on relationships with our clients, who share our passion for excellence. It is a workspace built for success. Embassy Office Parks is the owner of a high-quality office portfolio in India that serves as an essential corporate infrastructure to multinational tenants and has significant embedded growth prospects. The Portfolio comprises seven best-in-class office parks and four prime city-centre office buildings totalling 32.7 MSF as of December 31, 2018, with strategic amenities, including two completed and two under-construction hotels totalling 1,096 keys, food courts, employee transportation and childcare facilities. EOP REIT has invested in amongst the highest quality assets in the best performing submarkets of India's top office markets of Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai and Noida. These markets have exhibited strong market dynamics with world-leading absorption (from 2013 to Q1 2018) and constrained forecast supply resulting in high rent growth and low vacancy on average.
It owns one of India's largest office portfolios and believes that replicating such a platform would be difficult given land acquisition complexities and long development timelines in India. As of December 31, 2018, approximately 80.9% of the Gross Rentals from 160+ marquee tenant base is contracted with leading multinational corporations and approximately 43.4% is contracted with Fortune 500 companies such as JP Morgan, Google and Microsoft. EOP REIT's high-quality tenant base, along with long-term contracted rentals (weighted average lease length of 7.0 years) provides considerable stability to its Portfolio. While company's Portfolio is highly stabilized at 95.0% Committed Occupancy, it is well positioned to achieve further organic growth through a combination of contracted revenue, re-leasing at market rents, lease-up of vacant space and new construction within the Portfolio to accommodate tenant expansion. Portfolio revenue from operations is projected to grow by 55.8% over the Projections Period primarily due to these factors.
