from a combination of high inflation and surging interest rates.</p><p>As a result, the unit prices of several REITs have plumbed their 52-week lows.</p><p>We comb through the REIT universe to highlight four REITs that recently touched a year low to assess if they can pull off a business and unit price recovery this year.</p><h2>Elite Commercial REIT (SGX: MXNU)</h2><p>Elite Commercial REIT is a UK-focused REIT with a portfolio of 155 predominantly freehold commercial properties with a value of around £466.2 million as of 31 December 2022.</p><p>The REIT recently touched a 52-week low of £0.40 and is down nearly 37% in the past year.</p><p>For 2022, Elite reported a 6.7% year on year rise in revenue to £37.1 million.</p><p>However, distributable income fell by 5.8% year on year to £23.1 million while its distribution per unit (DPU) declined 11.4% year on year to £0.0481.</p><p>The dip was because of higher interest costs on its borrowings coupled with slightly lower occupancy

receive the DPU in SGD.</p><p>The good news is that the occupancy rate remained high at 97.9% with a long weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of 4.8 years as of 31 December 2022.</p><p>Elite’s portfolio valuation, however, decreased by 6.8% year on year to £466.2 million.</p><p>The REIT’s gearing stood at 45.8% with a cost of debt at 4.6%. 69% of its debt was on fixed rates.</p><h2>Digital Core REIT (SGX: DCRU)</h2><p>Digital Core REIT, or DCR, is a data centre REIT with a portfolio of 11 data centres worth US$1.58 billion as of 31 December 2022.</p><p>The portfolio enjoys a high occupancy rate of 98% and has a WALE of 4.5 years.</p><p>In the past year, DCR saw its unit price shrivel by close to 60% after touching its year-low of US$0.40.</p><p>The REIT’s DPU for 2022 came in at US$0.0398, 4.8% lower than the forecast of US$0.0418 despite a 1.7% year on year rise in revenue to US$107.7 million.</p><p>Investors are probably also jittery over the recent troubles involving Silicon Valley Bank and other mid-sized banks in the US.</p><p>DCR’s manager has confirmed that the REIT has no exposure to these banks.</p><p>Elsewhere, <strong>Cyxtera Technologies Inc</strong> (NASDAQ: CYXT), a global colocation and interconnection provider that makes up 22.6% of DCR’s annualised rent, saw its corporate credit rating downgraded recently by Moody’s.</p><p>DCR has clarified that this customer remains current on its rent obligations and has not requested any rent deferments or reductions.</p><h2>Manulife US REIT (SGX: BTOU)</h2><p>Manulife US REIT, or MUST, is a US commercial REIT with a portfolio of 12 freehold properties valued at US$1.9 billion as of 31 December 2022.</p><p>MUST has seen its units lose two-thirds of their value in the past year while touching an all-time low of US$0.20 recently.</p><p>The commercial REIT reported that gross revenue increased by 9.4% year on year to US$202.6 million for 2022.</p><p>Net property income (NPI) inched up 3.3% year on year to US$113.2 million but DPU declined by 10.9% year on year to US$0.0475.</p><p>In addition, MUST’s portfolio valuation also dipped by 10.9% year on year to US$1.9 billion.</p><p>The fall in valuation has resulted in the REIT’s gearing level rising to 48.8%, prompting its manager to perform a strategy review where it announced that it was in discussion with Mirae Asset Global Investments on a potential transaction.</p><h2>Keppel Pacific Oak US REIT (SGX: CMOU)</h2><p>Keppel Pacific Oak US REIT, or KORE, invests in a portfolio of 13 freehold office buildings and business campuses across eight cities in the US.</p><p>Its assets under management stood at US$1.42 billion as of 31 December 2022.</p><p>KORE’s units have lost half their value in the past year and recently touched a 52-week low of US$0.34.</p><p>The REIT’s gross revenue rose 4.8% year on year to US$148 million in 2022 with NPI inching up 1.9% year on year to US$84.3 million.</p><p>However, DPU fell by 8.5% year on year to US$0.058.</p><p>There is a worrying trend of higher vacancies in the US, with rates increasing from around 12% pre-pandemic to more than 15% in the third quarter of 2022.</p><p>Aggregate leverage for KORE stood at 38.2% as of 31 December 2022 with an all-in cost of debt of 3.2%.</p><p>Close to 78% of the commercial REIT’s debt is on fixed
