commercial and property developer by 2020 with its plan of rolling out 100
community malls under its brand “CityMall”. Further, the 4.8 ha Double 75

Investment Highlights

The Evolution of the Dragon

Double Dragon Properties Corp. is a real estate company engaged in the

development of both horizontal and vertical projects. It envisions itself to be
one of the largest commercial and property developers in the Philippines by
2020. To do this, the company plans to roll out 100 community malls over the
next five years under its chain “CityMall” and to put up larger developments
such as the 4.8-ha DD Meridian Park.

DD went public in 2014, with initial public offering of 580.0 Mn shares at P2.0
per share. Double Dragon strategically acquired existing projects that have
been pre-sold and were partially completed by other developers. In 2014, DD
acquired 70.0% of Zion Land Development Ph, Inc. and a property in Divisoria,
which will be developed into Dragonn88 Shopping Center. Also, DD took over
“The Skysuites Tower”, a 38-floor office building in Quezon City. Two existing
projects, namely Uptown Place Condominium and Injap Tower, were also
completed in 2014.

The result was a sizable increase in the company’s portfolio as total assets
and total equity swelled nine-fold and eleven-fold, respectively. In the process,
DD had to endure a high total debt-to-equity ratio of 107.0% in 2014. However,
the company’s 9.47x interest coverage ratio (Exhibit 2) allows it to fulfill short
term obligations.

Meanwhile, as of 9M2015, revenues and net income reached P1.1 Bn and

P589.4 Mn, respectively (Exhibit 3). Breaking down consolidated revenues,
rental income had the most substantial increase to P16.2 Mn from P1.4 Mn in
9M2014 due to significant contributions from new commercial projects, such
as newly opened CityMalls and Dragon88 Shopping Center. DD, however,
was not able to achieve the planned opening of 25 CityMalls by 2015. As of
December 2015, there are only 5 existing CityMalls and 25 still under
construction. The ones under construction are expected to be operational in
the next 12 months, according to the Management.

The Offer

To fund the company’s expansion plans, DD is set to raise up to P10.0 Bn

worth of preferred shares. The preferred shares, which are priced at P100.0
per share, will be issued following the approval of the Securities and Exchange
Commission of the Application of Amendment to increase the company’s
authorized capital stock to P 20.5 Bn from P 50.0 Mn. Holders of the
cumulative, non-voting, non-participating, redeemable convertible preferred
shares will receive cash dividends at an initial fixed rate of 6.4778% per
annum, at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Moreover, the preferred shares have a conversion feature. Shareholders have

the option to convert their preferred shares to common shares at a ratio of 1:1
nd th
between the 2 and 5 year after issuance. This implies a conversion price of
P100.0 per share. We believe this to be part of the company’s signaling
strategy that they expect common shares to be trading more than the par
value of the preferred shares at least by the second year since the listing of
the preferred.

Most of the fresh funds will be used to finance the construction of CityMalls
and DoubleDragon Plaza.

Recommendation

On the back of the company’s rich pipeline of projects, the company’s

ambitious goal of deriving 90.0% of its recurring income is still a long way from
fruition. In 9M2015, DD’s reported rental income contributed only 3.3% to total
revenues. We expect DD to achieve the aforementioned level of recurring
revenues in 2018, once most of the planned CityMalls and DoubleDragon
Plaza are completed. Hence, we believe that the company will unlikely be able
to distribute dividends in the next two years as earnings and cash flows from
operations will likely be used to support the company’s expansion plans.

Further, we believe that there are higher yielding alternatives available in the
market as listed in Exhibit 3. Most of the companies above have a good
history of paying out dividends, as operating cash flows have stabilized in
most of them. Therefore, we do not encourage the subscription of DD’s
preferred shares.
