Q: Hello,
I read your response on June 24 on Allied REIT and was wondering about your specifics concerns on the company. You mentioned debt, vacancy and payout as main concerns for these office REIT. Allied reports a debt to GBV ratio of 36%, 87% occupancy, 2.8X interest coverage. The payout ratio is probably too high. Allied reports a book value per unit in the mid $40s and it’s trading at about $16. Obviously, Allied reported Cap Rates for their book is too optimistic. Their unsecured debt was downgraded to junk, it seems because of high debt level. What do you think is the main factor explaining the stock price (sentiment towards office or fundamentals)? Their leverage seems to be reasonable but likely higher than investors would like. Occupancy level are better than average. Your general comments are appreciated. Thank you.
