Assumptions for Operating Results and Distributions Forecasts for the Fiscal Period Ending April 30, 2024
Items | Assumptions |
- Fiscal period ending April 30, 2024 (from November 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024) (182
Calculation period | days) | |
* It is assumed that the Merger will become effective on November 1, 2023. | ||
It is assumed that the New REIT will succeed the 97 properties of real estate and real | ||
estate trust beneficiary interests held by KDO as of today (including the Harajuku | ||
F.F. Building and the KDX Nagoya Sakae Building, which are scheduled to be sold | ||
on November 1, 2023, the scheduled effective date of the Merger.), the 182 properties | ||
of real estate and real estate trust beneficiary interests held by KDR as of today, the | ||
70 properties of real estate and real estate trust beneficiary interests held by KRR as | ||
of today, and York Mart Higashi-Michinobe, which is expected to be acquired by | ||
KRR on September 25, 2023, and that the New REIT will acquire River City 21 East | ||
Towers II, remm roppongi building and Akishima Distribution Center (Land) on | ||
November 1, 2023, as of the scheduled effective date of the Merger. | ||
Portfolio properties | Other than the above-mentioned properties, KDO currently holds an ownership | |
interests in a silent partnership. As stated in KDO's "Notice Concerning Sale of | ||
Investment Asset (Silent Partnership Equity Interest)" dated April 20, 2023, KDO | ||
has entered into an agreement ("Share Transfer Agreement") on April 20, 2023 for | ||
the transfer of KRF43 Silent Partnership Equity Interest ("Equity Interest"). Based | ||
on the Share Transfer Agreement, it is assumed that the New REIT will transfer the | ||
Equity Interest on December 20, 2023. | ||
Except for the above, it is assumed that there will be no changes in assets under | ||
management (acquisition of new properties or sale of existing properties, etc.) by the | ||
end of the fiscal period ending April 30, 2024. | ||
This may change due to the acquisition of new properties or the sale, etc. of existing | ||
properties. | ||
Rental revenues are based on the leasing agreements in effect as of June 13, 2023, | ||
taking into account seasonal and other variables based on past performance, and | ||
recent real estate market trends. | ||
As a result of the disposition of properties described in the press release, "Notice | ||
Concerning Acquisition of Properties (River City 21 East Towers II and 2 Other | ||
Properties) and Disposition of Properties (Harajuku F.F. Building and 1 Other | ||
Property)" announced today, gain on sale of 1,505 million yen is expected to be | ||
Operating revenues | recorded in the fiscal period ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period). | |
| Dividends receivables are expected to be 10 million yen for the fiscal period ending | |
April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period) in relation to dividends for the Equity Interest | ||
described in "Portfolio properties" above. | ||
The transfer of the Equity Interest (50.0% of equity in investment) is expected to be | ||
completed on December 20, 2023, and the transfer is expected to result in a gain on | ||
sale of securities of 545 million yen. | ||
Forecasts are based on the assumption that there will be no rent in arrears or non- | ||
payments by tenants. | ||
Property-related operating expenses other than depreciation are calculated based on | ||
historic data, reflecting variable costs including seasonal factors. | ||
Property and facility management fees (property management and building | ||
maintenance fees, etc.) are assumed to be 2,859 million yen for the fiscal period | ||
ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period). | ||
Property-related taxes are expected to be 3,051 million yen for the fiscal period | ||
ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period). Property-related taxes on the assets | ||
acquired after January 1, 2023 are not expensed because property-related taxes are | ||
settled with the previous owner at the time of sale, and the amount equivalent to the | ||
Operating expenses | property-related taxes is included in the acquisition price. Property-related taxes for | |
the acquired properties are expensed from the following year of acquisition. | ||
Depreciation is assumed to be 5,231 million yen for the fiscal period ending April | ||
30, 2024 (38th fiscal period). The book value of the real estate, to be succeeded by | ||
KDO from KDR and KRR on the effective date of the Merger has not been | ||
determined as of today, and the actual depreciation amount may differ from those | ||
assumed above. | ||
Building repair expenses is expected to be 1,012 million yen for the fiscal period | ||
ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period). The amount assumed to be necessary is | ||
recorded for each property, based on the asset manager's repair plan for each fiscal | ||
3 |
period. However, repair expenses may be substantially different from the expected | ||
amount due to certain unexpected factors. | ||
In general, property related taxes for the purchase and sale of real estate is calculated | ||
on a pro-rata basis with the previous owner and settled at the time of acquisition, but | ||
KDO includes the amount equivalent to such settled amount in the acquisition cost. | ||
Asset management fees are assumed to be 5,145 million yen for the fiscal period | ||
ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period). The details of asset management fees after | ||
the Merger have not yet been finalized, and will be announced once they are | ||
finalized. Asset management fees other than merger fees are assumed to be 2,245 | ||
million yen for the fiscal period ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period). | ||
Expected extraordinary expenses incurred in the fiscal period ending April 30, 2024 | ||
(38th fiscal period) in relation to the Merger is 2,900 million yen of merger fees and | ||
435 million yen of asset management fees. | ||
Interest expense and other debt-related expenses are assumed to be 2,349 million yen | ||
for the fiscal period ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period), on the basis that 87 | ||
million yen will be added to interest expense as a reversal of prepaid expenses. Such | ||
Non-operating | prepaid expenses are equal to the market value of interest rate swaps held by KDR | |
expenses | and KRR, totaling 1,166 million yen as of April 30, 2023 and as of March 31, 2023, | |
respectively. However, the final amount recorded may differ materially from the | ||
above amount, as the final amount will be based on the market value as of October | ||
31, 2023. | ||
KDO has outstanding borrowings of 201,950 million yen and outstanding investment | ||
corporation bonds of 13,000 million yen as of June 13, 2023. | ||
In addition to the above, as of June 13, 2023, KDR has outstanding borrowings of | ||
158,220 million yen and outstanding investment corporation bonds of 7,700 million | ||
yen. KRR has outstanding borrowings of 119,300 million yen and outstanding | ||
investment corporation bonds of 10,000 million yen. All outstanding borrowings and | ||
investment corporation bonds of KDR and KRR will be succeeded by KDO in its | ||
Borrowings and | entirety. | |
| Of its current outstanding borrowings as of June 13, 2023, it is assumed that 35,000 | |
investment | ||
million yen which is due in the fiscal period ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal | ||
corporation bonds | ||
period) will be refinanced in its entirety. | ||
Of its current outstanding investment corporation bonds as of June 13, 2023, it is | ||
assumed that 3,000 million yen which will mature by the end of the fiscal period | ||
ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period) will be refinanced in its entirety. | ||
It is assumed that 4,600 million yen will be newly borrowed in September 2023 and | ||
6,800 million yen in November 2023 as part of the funds to acquire new assets, and | ||
that there will be no significant change in the interest rate until then. However, the | ||
actual total amount of borrowings may increase or decrease. | ||
It is assumed that the total number of the new REIT's investment units outstanding | ||
after the Merger will be 4,142,897, which is the sum of KDO's 848,430 units | ||
outstanding units as of today, plus 848,430 units to be increased by KDO's | ||
investment unit split (1-to-2 split), which is scheduled to take place on November 1, | ||
2023 with the record date of the split being October 31, 2023, and 2,446,037 new | ||
investment units to be issued by KDO in relation to the Merger. For details of the | ||
investment unit split, please refer to the press release, "Notice Concerning Split of | ||
Total number of | Investment Units" announced today by KDO. | |
investment units | | The number of new investment units to be issued by KDO as a result of the Merger |
has not been determined at this time and will vary depending on the status of exercise | ||
of the rights to demand purchase of investment unit. The number of new investment | ||
units issued will be announced as soon as they are determined after November 1, | ||
2023, the effective date of the Merger. | ||
Except for the above, it is assumed that the number of investment units outstanding | ||
will not change until the end of the fiscal period ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal | ||
period) as a result of new offerings and other reasons. | ||
We estimate the gain on negative goodwill as a result of the Merger will be 25,281 | ||
million yen, and we plan to record this as an extraordinary income in the fiscal year | ||
ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period) in accordance with the Accounting | ||
Goodwill and | Standard for Business Combinations (ASBJ Statement No. 21, as amended on | |
January 16, 2019) ("Corporate Accounting Standards"). This amount is an estimated | ||
negative goodwill | ||
amount based on the assumption that KDR, classified as the acquired company under | ||
the Corporate Accounting Standards, will receive total of 419,823 million yen in | ||
assets, underwriting liabilities being 179,334 million yen, acquisition costs of Merger | ||
being 219,102 million yen, and that KRR, classified as the acquired company under | ||
4 |
the Corporate Accounting Standards, will receive a total of 312,892 million yen in | |
assets, with underwriting liabilities being 154,467 million yen, acquisition costs of | |
the Merger being 154,531 million yen (calculated based on the closing price of | |
305,500 yen on June 7, 2023 for an investment unit price of KDO, which is the | |
consideration amount for the Merger). The gain on negative goodwill as of the | |
effective date of the Merger has not been determined and may vary from the | |
abovementioned amount. In addition, goodwill may occur depending on the price of | |
KDO's investment units, instead of negative goodwill. | |
In the event that goodwill is generated as a result of the Merger, in accordance with | |
the Corporate Accounting Standards, the amount of goodwill will be recorded as | |
assets, and will be amortized over twenty years using the straight-line amortization | |
method. | |
Distribution amounts (distributions per unit) are calculated in accordance with the | |
distribution policy outlined in the New REIT's Articles of Incorporation. | |
For the fiscal year ending April 30, 2024 (38th fiscal period), it is assumed that the | |
amount obtained by subtracting 25,028 million yen among negative goodwill of | |
25,281 million yen, which will be transferred to the reserve for temporary difference | |
Distribution amount | adjustments from net income, and adding the reversal of reserve for reduction entry |
of 1,589 million yen will be distributed. The gain on negative goodwill has not yet | |
been determined, and the amount of reversal of reserve for reduction entry may | |
change depending on the operating conditions, etc. | |
Actual distributions per unit may fluctuate due to various factors such as fluctuations | |
in rental revenues caused by asset replacements or tenant replacements, unexpected | |
repairs, as well as fluctuations in number of investment units or fund raise. | |
Distributions in | There are no plans at this time for distributions in excess of earnings (distributions |
excess of earnings per | |
unit | in excess of earnings per unit). |
Forecasts are based on the assumption that there will be no amendments to the law, | |
taxation system, accounting standards, public listing regulations, requirements of the | |
Others | Investment Trusts Association, Japan, etc. which may affect the aforementioned |
forecast figures. | |
Forecasts are based on the assumption that there will be no unexpected significant | |
changes in general economic trends, real estate market trends or other conditions. |
