New World Reportedly Seeks to Sell 11 Skies Airport Mall to Boost Liquidity New World Development Company Limited (SEHK:17) is seeking to sell its flagship 11 Skies mall to address liquidity constraints, according to people familiar with the matter. The company has held early-stage discussions with the Hong Kong airport authority on its plans, the people said, requesting not to be named because the matter is private. The talks are preliminary and subject to change, the people said. The property has been evaluated at a price range of HKD 15 billion (USD 1.9 billion or MYR 8.1 billion) to HKD 17 billion, one of the people said. That means selling at a loss considering New World invested HKD 20 billion in the project, billed as Hong Kong’s largest shopping mall. The company and the airport authority didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The development of the 11 Skies mall has become a drag on New World, hampered by sluggish tenant sign-ups and concerns over weak foot traffic — fuelled in part by uncertainty around airlines’ willingness to shift flights to Hong Kong’s second airport terminal next to the complex. Facing liquidity pressure, New World is accelerating asset sales — including in mainland China — as it rushes to shore up its balance sheet. The company is also seeking to raise as much as USD 2 billion through a new loan facility, backed by its crown jewel, the Victoria Dockside complex in Hong Kong, underscoring the urgency of its capital-raising efforts. New World missed its self-imposed target to complete the USD 2 billion loan deal, people familiar with the matter said earlier this week. The company had HKD 50 billion in completed investment properties in mainland China as of Dec. 31, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Its prospects for selling the assets are clouded by the country’s ongoing real estate downturn and slowing economy. In Shanghai, the company is seeking CNY 2.85 billion (USD 397 million or MYR 1.69 billion) for its K11 tower, according to a property agent brochure. Controlled by the family empire of Hong Kong tycoon Henry Cheng, New World has one of the highest debt burdens of any big developer in the city. Its net debt reached 95.5% of shareholders’ equity as of December, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. The funding environment for troubled and small Hong Kong developers has become increasingly challenging given that property prices in the city are now around a nine-year low. Banks are demanding stricter refinancing terms and asking for more credit enhancements. Tillkännagivande • Jul 03

New Risk • Mar 26
New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 160% Dividend per share is over 14x cash flows per share. Dividend yield: 4.7% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (3.8% operating cash flow to total debt). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 160% Dividend per share is over 14x cash flows per share. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.3% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Upcoming Dividend • Mar 13

Ex-date: 20th March 2024 Payment date: 18th April 2024 Dividend yield will be 40%, which is higher than the industry average of 3.2%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (177% earnings payout ratio). However, it is covered by cash flows (51% cash payout ratio). The dividend has decreased over the past 10 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 97% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 104% over the next 3 years, which is sufficient to bring the dividend into a sustainable range. Reported Earnings • Mar 01

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of German stocks, typically moving 10% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent.

New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%. Net profit margin: 1.0% Last year net profit margin: 1.8% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 59% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (9.5% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings have declined by 59% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (476% payout ratio). Large one-off items impacting financial results.

New World Reportedly Considers Sale of Majority of $1.4 Billion Hong Kong Office Tower New World Development Company Limited (SEHK:17) is talking to investors about the sale of a majority stake in an office tower under its premium K11 brand as it disposes of non-core assets to fund its rapid expansion, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said. The Grade-A K11 Atelier King’s Road tower in eastern Hong Kong island from the city’s fourth-biggest developer is valued in its entirety at HKD 11 billion ($1.4 billion), according to the people. To attract investors and sell at a good price, New World is offering a guaranteed capitalisation rate - a measure associated with rental yield - of around 4% under a deal structure similar to the sale of a land plot last year, the people added. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were private. Previous big disposals by New World had raised liquidity concerns and contributed to a sell-off in bonds in the developer, which is majority-owned by local conglomerate Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and more highly leveraged than peers. The bonds have since largely recovered in price after the developer repurchased notes worth HKD 6.5 billion. New World said in a statement to Reuters that it had no plans to sell a stake in K11 Atelier King’s Road, though it was common practice to exchange views with investors on business sentiment, valuation and potential investment opportunities. “The K11 Atelier King’s Road is not amongst our flagship portfolio,” it said. “New World Development also has no interest in selling any other K11 properties. We are in a very strong liquidity position with robust cash reserves.” The people told Reuters that any disposal of K11 Atelier King’s Road is expected to model the sale of a 51% interest of a commercial land plot in western Kowloon to alternative asset manager Ares SSG last September, under which New World provided a 5% dividend rate for four years. The guarantee allowed New World to sell at a higher-than-market HKD 3.1 billion, booking a HKD 450 million gain, and supported the valuation of its nearby projects for sale, the people added. Ares SSG declined to comment. A similar structure is also being offered to investors to buy D-Park, a shopping mall worth HKD 6 billion on a 100% basis, the people said. New World is not financially distressed according to the people, along with a third person who deals directly with the developer, but it needs more cash to support its rapid expansion.
