Without the recent rights issue, DPU would have been 2.95c. A dilution of 15%, post rights, and we have DPU at 2.51c.
I estimated that we could see an annualised distribution yield of some 9.26% based on the price of $1.08 per rights unit. At 2.51c, we have a distribution yield of almost 9.3% per rights unit. This beats my estimate.
However, we have to bear in mind that the REIT usually distributes more income in the final quarter of the year. So, everything remaining equal, DPU could dip in the next quarter.
Of course, things are not going to remain the same because:
1. The REIT's investment in Optus Centre will see its first full quarter contribution in 1Q FY2015. This will help to bump up income.
2. The redevelopment of 103 Defu Lane 10 will get its TOP in May 2014. So, expect income contribution to start sometime in 2Q FY2015......
