CCT reported 4Q14 distributable income and net property income of S$63.6m and S$50.6m which increased 5.7% and 3.0% YoY, respectively. DPU for the quarter is an estimated 2.15 S-cents, up 2.9% YoY versus 2.09 S-cents for 4Q13. We judge this set of results to be within expectations, as FY14 distributable income and net property income forms 102.7% and 100.4% of our full year forecast, respectively. Excluding the newly completed CapitaGreen, the trust reports a healthy overall occupancy rate of 99.4% and positive rental reversions for its Grade A office leases committed over the quarter. The newly completed CapitaGreen is now 69.3% committed and we note that the trust, which holds a call option to buy the 60% remaining interest in CapitaGreen from 2015-17, has a debt headroom of S$1.3b assuming a 40% gearing. Our fair value estimate remains unchanged at S$1.67 but we downgrade our rating to SELL on valuation grounds.
