Corporate Action: Ignore Charter Hall’s Dud Takeover Offer

We recommend rejecting the Charter Hall consortium’s uncompelling takeover offer for no-moat Hotel Property Investments, or HPI, providing this advice is consistent with your individual investing goals. The AUD 3.65 per share all-cash offer price is near the middle of our 3-star band. It represents an insufficient 4% premium to our unchanged AUD 3.50 per share fair value estimate, and a 10% discount to net tangible asset backing.

Price vs Fair Value

HPI is trading at a 672% premium.

Company Profile

Hotel Property Investments is an Australian REIT with a portfolio of freehold pub properties primarily in Queensland. Its portfolio is almost exclusively leased to Queensland Venue Co. on triple-net long-term leases where the tenant is responsible for outgoings (except land tax in Queensland), resulting in relatively low maintenance expenses. Most leases also provide for annual rental increases typically at the lower of 4% or two times the average of the last five years consumer price index.
