EMIRA PROPERTY FUND LTD

Our opinion on the current state of EMIRA(EMI)

19
Emira Property (EMI) is a real estate investment trust with significant exposure to the South African property market, particularly in office spaces, although it has been diversifying to reduce its dependence on this segment. It owns the Knightsbridge office park in Bryanston and has been under the leadership of CEO Geoff Jennett, who has steadily improved the business.

The company has been working to rebalance its portfolio, reducing its exposure to South African office properties, which dropped from 35.7% to 25%. This was achieved by selling 25 B- and C-grade office buildings to Shankly Property Investments for R1.8bn. The proceeds have been strategically reinvested into retail shopping centres in the United States. Emira also has a stake in Growthpoint Australia worth approximately R918m and owns 35% of Transcend, a South African residential property fund. Its international exposure, valued at about R760m, is primarily focused on outdoor shopping malls in the U.S.

In its latest results for the six months ending 30th September 2024, Emira reported headline earnings per share (HEPS) of 213.26c, up significantly from 7.31c in the previous period. The net asset value (NAV) rose by 14.2% to 1945.5c per share. The company indicated that its South African portfolio exceeded performance expectations, while its U.S. investments performed as anticipated, although year-on-year growth was inflated by one-off negative items recorded in the previous period.

Technically, the share entered a new upward trend in November 2023, which remains ongoing. The company's efforts to diversify its portfolio and reduce reliance on local office properties make it better positioned to weather the challenges in the South African economy. Emira appears to be in a positive phase, driven by strategic asset reallocations and steady performance in both its local and international investments.
