MAS Real Estate Inc. JSE: MSP

Background of MAS Real Estate
MAS Real Estate is a real estate investment company boasting a strong portfolio of commercial and mixed-use property assets in Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, with a view of broadening investment into the rest of Europe. The company was established in 2009, and MAS Real Estate shares were listed on the Euro MTF and the AltX of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). The group transferred to the main board of the JSE in 2014, and the live online stock chart shows that MAS Real Estate share price has since strengthened considerably.
The group’s portfolio is split into 16 income-generating properties, four development properties and a 12.8% investment in German commercial real estate company Sirius Real Estate. The company is also expanding into Central and Eastern Europe through a joint venture partnership with Prime Kapital.
In addition, MAS Real Estate has a strong pipeline of 35 income-generating properties and two development properties. By the end of 2015, the group’s total net asset value was €349.8 million.
MAS Real Estate Shares Growth Driver
The group’s growth strategy involves a combination of acquiring well-tenanted properties, developing its own properties, managing its portfolio effectively and optimising the business’s capital structure to enhance shareholder return. Putting mature properties up for sale also plays a key role in driving performance.
In its formative years, MAS has assembled a high quality portfolio of commercial assets across Western Europe. All capital raised through drives has now been spent or allocated to development, and the re-gearing of the portfolio is against a backdrop of very low interest rates, allowing MAS to benefit from low funding costs. Secured income streams from the current portfolio are providing a platform to buy into new income streams in Central and Eastern Europe.
The group now has a strong and value accretive pipeline of purchase opportunities across Europe. Development opportunities in Western Europe are available at attractive prices, whilst the joint venture with Prime Kapital will allow access to prime assets, significant experience, a proven track record and a secure pipeline in Central and Eastern Europe.
Overall, the group achieved a profit of €48 million in the 2015 financial year. Profits were more muted at €1.3 million for the last six months of 2015, but this was largely due to key acquisitions and costs associated with entering into the joint venture with Prime Kapital.

MAS Real Estate shares look to be an attractive rand hedge buy for JSE investors.
