Global Logistic Properties posts 43% increase in Q4 earnings of $283mil
http://www.theedgesingapore.com/the-daily-edge/business/44033-global-logistic-properties-posts-43-increase-in-q4-earnings-of-283mil.html

Thu, 23 May 23:14  
Global Logistic Properties (GLP) posted a 43% rise in earnings of US$224 million ($283 million) for the three months ending March 31 despite an 18% fall in revenues to US$125.1 million.

This rise in Q4 earnings was due to revaluation gains and foreign exchange gains arising from hedging cash proceeds from the contribution of assets to the J-REIT.

GLP attributed its lower revenue to the divestment of 33 properties in Japan to GLP J-REIT, which was listed in December 2012.

GLP owns and operates warehouses in China, Japan and Brazil.

Mon, 27 May 13:12
GLP Warehouse operator Global Logistic Properties is expected to show stronger growth momentum as it sets out to build up more assets in China, analysts said. GLP shares inched down 0.7% to $2.84, after results showed that the company’s revenue in the first quarter fell 18% due to sale of properties in Japan and a weakened yen but net profit grew 43%. More acquisition in China and asset recycling in Japan will help future growth in the company’s operations, said CIMB analyst Donald Chua in a note. “The pace of capital deployment is expected to rise in FY14 as it guides for more asset build,” Chua said, while raising the target price on the stock to $3.35 from $3.32. Seven out of 16 analysts recommended “buy” on GLP, three called for “strong buy” and two called for "sell”, Thomson Reuters database showed. “We continue to like GLP for its strong execution track record and anticipate the group’s acceleration in its growth track to act as a catalyst for share price performance,” said DBS Vickers Securities in a research note.

启示：上述新项目位于日本的最大消费区之一，也是一个诱人的物流市场，因为该区对相关服务的需求殷切，而多租户大型设施的空置率为偏低的1.5%。

Global Logistic Properties posts 33% Q1 higher earnings of US$204 mil
http://www.theedgesingapore.com/the-daily-edge/business/45104-global-logistic-properties-posts-33-q1-higher-earnings-of-us204-mil.html

Publish date: Wed, 14 Aug 17:17
Global Logistic Properties, the leading provider of modern logistics facilities in China, Japan and Brazil, reported a 33% increase in earnings to US$204 million ($259 million) for the three months ended 30 June 2013 (1QFY14) as the company continues to benefit from solid development momentum and rent growth across its portfolio.

1QFY14 group revenue was US$137 million. This was 20% lower than the same period last year (1QFY13), mainly due to the contribution of 33 Japan properties to GLP J-REIT. Revenue in China was up 40%, driven by developments and continued rent growth. In Japan, revenue was 51% lower, mainly due to the contribution of properties to GLP J-REIT, depreciation of the Japanese Yen  and lease cancellation income received from a tenant in 1QFY13. Adjusting for these three items, Japan revenue was up 1%.

Fund management revenue in 1QFY14 was US$12 million, up 122% from a year earlier. This comprised asset and property management fees of US$8 million and property development fees of US$4 million. GLP expects fund fees to continue increasing in tandem with the strategic growth of the fund management platform.

1QFY14 Group EBIT and earnings rose 34% and 33% respectively, driven by higher revenue in China and revaluation gains of US$159 million. Revaluation gains were mainly attributable to higher property values in Japan, as well as developments and rent growth in China.


普洛斯的1Q14盈利跃升33.3%至2亿零400万美元
http://www.sharesinv.com/zh/articles/40850/

2013年08月15日
普洛斯(Global Logistic Properties)在截至今年6月30日的1Q14录得税及少数权益后盈利提高33.3%，由于发展活动顺利进行及组合的租金上调。尽管收入下跌19.6%至1亿3,720万美元，但中国业务的收入增加和录得1亿3,500万美元的重估增值额令盈利提高。重估增值主要归功于日本产业升值、在中国的发展活动和中国产业的租金上调。公司于1Q14展开73万3,000平方米的发展活动，比去年同期多出29%，也相等于FY14的250万平方米目标的29%面积。公司的资产负债比例强稳，净债务总值11亿美元，净债务与资产比为9.2%。

启示：公司的发展增加令其净资产总值年比提高30%至48亿美元。公司目前的土地储备为1,190万平方米，比去年多出31%。预期这些土地将能供公司陆续进行许多发展项目。

GLP Japan Income Partners I to sell 7 properties to GLP J-REIT for $352 mil
http://www.theedgesingapore.com/the-daily-edge/business/45326-glp-japan-income-partners-i-to-sell-7-properties-to-glp-j-reit-for-352-mil.html

Publish date: Tue, 3 Sep 14:37  
Global Logistic Properties (GLP), the provider of modern logistics facilities in China, Japan and Brazil, today announced that GLP Japan Income Partners I will sell seven properties to GLP J-REIT for JPY27.5 billion ($352 million). GLP owns a 33.3% stake in GLP Japan Income Partners I.

The properties have generated a cumulative net levered IRR in excess of 46% for investors in GLP Japan Income Partners I, before management fees and promotes, since they were acquired in February 2012.

Jeffrey Schwartz, Co-Founder of GLP and Chairman of the Executive Committee, said: “The sale of these seven properties creates considerable value for GLP and our partners and enables us to continue investing in the growth of our business. It also further enhances our best-in-class fund management platform.”

The sale was conducted through an auction. The transaction is subject to completion, which is targeted to take place in October 2013. Net cash proceeds from the sale are estimated to be JPY9 billion ($115 million), with GLP’s share at JPY3 billion ($38.4 million). GLP plans to hedge the proceeds and intends to reinvest the capital to maintain its 15% interest in the J-REIT as well as developments in China, Japan and Brazil.

Originally part of a portfolio acquired in February 2012, the sale assets are single-tenant facilities under long term leases which have been earmarked for disposition from the time they were acquired. The seven facilities comprise a total gross floor area (GFA) of 2 million sqft with a 100% lease ratio and a weighted average lease expiry of 6.4 years.

GLP J-REIT, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in December 2012, is a real estate investment trust focused on owning and operating logistics properties in Japan. GLP is the property and asset manager and intends to retain its 15% interest in the J-REIT.


GLP J-REIT to raise up to $295 mil in Tokyo share sale
http://www.theedgesingapore.com/the-daily-edge/business/45330-glp-j-reit-to-raise-up-to-295-mil-in-tokyo-share-sale.html

Publish date: Tue, 3 Sep 17:19
GLP J-REIT, a Japan logistics trust that debuted in December, plans to raise as much as 23 billion yen ($295 million) in an additional share sale in Tokyo to acquire properties and to repay debt.

The real estate investment trust will acquire nine properties for 56 billion yen, it said in a statement to the Tokyo Stock Exchange today. The REIT’s Singaporean sponsor, Global Logistic Properties, separately said it plans to sell two properties in Japan for US$287 million ($366 million) to the trust it partly owns.

The growth of Japan’s logistics market, helped by a boost in e-commerce transactions, has attracted companies including GLP to Japan’s warehouse industry. Investments in industrial space returned 5.8% on average for the year ended April, more than double the returns from investing in office buildings, according to London-based Investment Property Databank.

GLP will sell the properties at a 1% premium to the appraised value, the company said in an e-mailed statement today. The sale will be completed by March 2014 and net cash proceeds from the property sale are estimated at 13.6 billion yen, according to the statement.

GLP also plans to reinvest the capital to maintain its 15% stake in the J-REIT as well as developments in China, Japan and Brazil, the company said.

Separately, GLP Japan Income Partners I, which is 33.3% owned by GLP, sold 7 assets to the J-REIT for 27.5 billion yen. The sale will be completed in October, GLP said.

Shares of Global Logistic increased 2.2% to $2.81 at 3:54 p.m. in Singapore trading. GLP J-REIT was 1.9% higher at 96,000 yen at the close of trading in Tokyo.

中国、日本及巴西大型的现代化物流设施公司普洛斯(Global Logistic Properties)决定以285亿日元(2亿8,700万美元)把两个产业脱售给日本房地产投资信托普洛斯J-REIT(GLP J-REIT)。脱售价比两个产业截至今年6月30日的282亿日元高出1%。两个产业分别位于大东京区及名古屋，楼面面积合共为12万6,000平方米。此外，公司持有33.3%股权的普洛斯日本物流合伙公司(GLP Japan Income Partners I)也将以约275亿日元把七个产业脱售给GLP J-REIT。预期交易将于今年10月完成。公司将从两项交易中获得的净现金收益估计为226亿日元(2亿2,800万美元)。公司计划把这笔资金再投资于GLP J-REIT(以保持其在该REIT的15%股权)及用于位于中国、日本和巴西的其他发展。

启示：两项交易与公司循环使用资本及维持在基金管理平台的股权的策略相符。在完成交易后，公司的基金管理平台将扩大至84亿美元。

普洛斯将在日本展开大型发展
http://www.sharesinv.com/zh/articles/41378/

2013年09月05日
普洛斯(Global Logistic Properties)将在日本大东京区开始发展一个多租户物流设施GLP座间(GLP Zama)。公司是在2011年12月收购该产业，它原是一家3万5,000平方米的单层车厂。公司将把它改建为一座五层楼高的现代化物流设施，总楼面面积约为13万平方米。预期项目将在2015年7月完成，总发展成本估计为209亿日元(2亿1,000万美元)。GLP座间是公司与加拿大退休金计划投资委员会(Canada Pension Plan Investment Board)所组50:50合资的第六个发展。该合资至今已承诺了总值796亿日元(8亿零200万美元)的投资。公司在宣布上述发展之前，公布了把多个日本产业脱售给日本房地产投资信托普洛斯J-REIT(GLP J-REIT)的计划。

启示：GLP座间将是公司在座间市的第四个产业，也是它在神奈川县的第七个产业。GLP座间将为客户提供设有先进设备的最佳设施，以确保它们的业务运作不受干扰，因而能吸引各个企业的青睐，同时在座间市物流区的第三方物流服务商中具备竞争力。

普洛斯出租中国设施给两大生产商
http://www.sharesinv.com/zh/articles/41425/

2013年09月10日
普洛斯(Global Logistic Properties)签署了2万2,000平方米面积的租约，出租中国设施给两家大型生产商南通科技(Tontec)及API Group。南通科技是一家高精密模具生产商，它租下了普洛斯(成都)高新区工业物流园的1万1,000平方米面积。API Group则预租了普洛斯建屋工业园的1万1,000平方米面积。后者位于苏州工业园的中心，并通过一个便利和高效率的交通网络而与上海及苏州的主要消耗品中心互通。API Group自2004年起便是公司的客户。

启示：不断取得新租约将加强公司在中国的市场份额及FY13盈利。在一些资产达到100%的租用率下，公司对其在中国扩大版图的行动充满信心，由于其资产具备高科技设施及提供高素质的服务，同时也位于交通基建卓越的先进工业园区。

GLP为唯品会扩大分销中心而签订协议
http://www.sharesinv.com/zh/articles/41672/

2013年09月24日
普洛斯(Global Logistic Properties)与中国大型网购公司唯品会(Vipshop)签订协议，为后者在昆山淀山湖普洛斯第二物流园发展13万平方米的新量身定制设施。工程将分开两期进行，首期占地6万平方米的工程已经在2013年8月动工。第二期工程将添加7万平方米设施。与此同时，唯品会目前在淀山湖普洛斯物流园的1万2,000平方米设施将会扩大。自2011年起，唯品会向公司租用物流园的面积增加超过4倍，在添加空间后，唯品会将成为公司10大客户之一。

启示: 签订新租约后，淀山湖普洛斯物流园及淀山湖普洛斯第二物流园已全部出租。公司在中国拥有大规模的设施网络，再加上在客户的需求下，它能够具弹性地提供额外的高质素空间，让它继续成为客户的理想选择。

普洛斯将扩大在中国的货仓面积
http://www.sharesinv.com/zh/articles/41940/

2013年10月10日
中国最大的现代化货仓业者普洛斯(Global Logistic Properties)计划在未来两年里把其新项目的面积每年扩大20%到25%，因为电子商务领域扩大及零售连锁店增多。《商业时报》在香港采访公司的总裁兼创办人之一梅志明之后报道，普洛斯今年已在中国开始发展250万平方米的货仓面积，去年则是200万平方米。公司在中国的产业面积总共约为800万平方米。额外的面积将分布于中国一线城市(北京和上海等地)及二线城市(例如成都)各一半。公司在中国、日本和巴西都设有业务，它从FY04至1Q14之间的总楼面面积是以57%的年复合增长率增长，从而可见其良好的增长记录。截至2013年6月30日，公司的负债偏低，现金额为庞大的18亿美元，因而让它能在良机出现时好好地把握。

启示：长期而言，中国的货仓租金预期将平均每年提高5%左右，而在短期内，一线城市的货仓面积供应将依旧吃紧。一些二线城市则可能会在接下来两年出现“稍微”供过于求的情况。然而，中国物流产业的增长前景向好，由于电子商务企业日益增加，因而带动仓储空间需求。

Global Logistics to start world's largest China warehouse fund
Source: Bloomberg   |   Publish date: Thu, 14 Nov 18:43  
http://www.theedgesingapore.com/the-daily-edge/business/46328-global-logistics-to-start-worlds-largest-china-warehouse-fund.html

Global Logistic Properties, China’s biggest modern warehouse operator, plans to start a US$3 billion fund that will invest in properties in the country as e- commerce grows and retail chains expand.

GLP, part-owned by Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, GIC Pte, will partner with six institutional investors, including state and pension funds, to invest in China over the next three years, the company said in a statement to the Singapore stock exchange today. GLP will retain a 56% stake in the China fund, according to the statement.

The fund will be the the world’s largest China-focused logistics infrastructure fund, according to GLP. Logistics properties are “the most attractive real estate opportunity” in China as consumers buy more from e-commerce companies including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Amazon.com Inc., fueling demand for storage space, according to a report released in September by Jones Lang LaSalle Inc.

“This transaction establishes a strong platform for future growth and is consistent with GLP’s strategy to focus on the world’s best markets and grow its fund management business,” Jeffrey H. Schwartz, co-founder and chairman of the executive committee of GLP said in the statement. “We will have increased funding in place to capture a significant share in a $2 trillion market opportunity.”

GLP’s second-quarter net income fell 25% to US$145 million as revenue declined 19% to US$139.8 million, the company reported separately today.

Key Market
GLP will provide land to the fund to support 1.8 million square meters (19 million square feet) of leasable area, according to the statement. It has secured a US$1 billion credit facility with China Merchants Bank Co. for the new fund, it said.

China is GLP’s key growth market with e-commerce being an important driver of demand, the company said. E-commerce makes up 22% of GLP’s total leased area in China today compared with 4% in the fiscal year 2010, it said.

GLP will grow its assets under management to US$11.4 billion with the addition of the China fund, which already has US$1.5 billion of equity commitment, according to the statement.

The company’s shares rose 2.7% to $3.00 at the close of trading in Singapore, bringing its year-to-date advance to 7.9%. The FTSE Strait Times Real Estate Investment Trust Index has declined 6.7% this year.

普洛斯开始在琦玉县发展物流措施
2014年01月09日
http://www.sharesinv.com/zh/articles/43894/

普洛斯(Global Logistic Properties)将会在2H14于大东京地区琦玉县日高市发展两个大规模、多租户的物流设施，面积约为12万7,000平方米
预期普洛斯狭山日高第1期及第2期(Sayama Hidaka I and II)项目分别在2015年12月及2016年6月完成，总发展成本估计为187亿日元(1亿7,900万美元)。

这个项目将会通过普洛斯日本发展基金(GLP Japan Development Venture)来融资，后者是普洛斯与加拿大退休金计划投资局的50:50合资。这个合资拥有22亿美元的投资额，迄今已作出总共10亿美元投资。

启示: 普洛斯的日本区总裁表示：“由于日本的供应链不断重新架构及缺乏供应，因此对优质物流设施的需求很大。”
