Consumer Weekly China


Update on watch, jewellery and luxury goods market
Latest results of international luxury groups beat expectations. International luxury groups have reported better-than-expected results and operating performance so far in 2011, reflecting strong demand for luxury goods, particularly in Asia. Some of the luxury brands have room for higher selling prices. Hong Kong and China Swiss watch markets had a strong month in March. Despite the extremely unfavourable base effect in Mar 10, Swiss watch exports rose 11.1% yoy in Mar 11. The growth was led by Hong Kong, the largest Swiss watch market, up 21.6% yoy. China registered a stunning 63.5% yoy growth in the imports of Swiss watches. We expect Emperor Watch & Jewellery (887 HK/ BUY) and Hengdeli (3389 HK/ BUY) should have strong sales and earnings growth so far this year. Imminent regulatory tightening will increase market concentration. Since 1971, Swiss law has stipulated that local watchmakers can label their products Swiss-made only if non-Swiss parts equal less than 50% of the value of the watch's movement. The Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry asked the government in 2007 to require even more local content. According to the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry, a final decision may be made in 2012. Makers of luxury watches would benefit from tougher standards because they already get most components from Switzerland. We expect to see consolidation in the Swiss watch industry. China and Hong Kong jewellery markets continued to blossom. Chinas retail sales of gold, silver and jewellery soared 51.7% yoy in Mar 11 to Rmb14.5b. Hong Kong retail sales of jewellery, watches and clocks, and valuable gifts surged 54.1% yoy to HK$6.6b. Windfall gain in gold prices added further earnings momentum for Luk Fook. The recent sharp rise in gold prices has given a headstart to Luk Fook (590 HK/ BUY) in FY12. We forecast LFs pure gold jewellery gross margin in FY11 at 14% (assuming a 4% average three-month increase in gold prices). As the average three-month increase in gold prices was 5.8% in FY11, our forecast of 14% may turn out to be slightly conservative. In addition, the average three-month increase for LFs gold prices was 9.7% so far in FY12 vs our assumption of 0%. Hence, there could be upside to our FY12 earnings forecasts as well. Survey on Chinese millionaires. According to 2010 Hurun Wealth Report released by the Hurun Research Institute, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong account for almost half of all millionaires (>Rmb10m) in China. Some 70% of the millionaires are men. US and France are their top international travel destinations. Millionaires in tier-1 cities like cars and watches. Peer Comparison

Consumer Indonesia
1Q11 round-up: Subsiding cost pressure could be next catalyst
Whats New 1Q11 net profit in line. Results of three (INDF, JPFA, MAPI) of the five companies we covered were in line, while two (KLBF, RALS) were below expectations. KLBFs performance was not overwhelming with net profit yoy growth boosted by non-core operations while qoq decline was larger than usual. RALS continued to disappoint with low same-store sales (SSS) growth. Sector net profit rose 32.5% yoy in 1Q11 but declined 14.8% qoq due to seasonality and rising costs. Their results were broadly in line with consensus. We increased INDFs net profit forecasts by 1.5% to account for strong IFAR results, and MAPIs by 6.9% on stronger-thanexpected SSS growth. 1Q11 Net Profit In line With Expectations

Rising cost pressures. On average, gross margin declined 1.8ppt qoq in 1Q11 but was still up 1.1ppt yoy. Subject to seasonality (eg year-end clearance at MAPI and a low shopping season at RALS), INDF and JPFA saw higher-than-average qoq decline in gross margin at -2.0ppt and 6.2ppt respectively despite a stronger Rupiah. INDFs margin was dragged by lower Bogasari margin in the absence of price increases, but we believe it should recover as Bogasari will seek more optimum tradeoff between profitability and market share, while the full-impact of instant noodles price increase in January will take effect in 2Q11. For JPFA, we expect more price increases to counter the high corn and soybean meal prices, while the spin-off of the consumer products division should lift operating margin. Overall, we believe further pressure on margins is limited as we expect more price increases to come, while commodity prices (such as CPO) should cool down in 2H11. 1Q11 Gross Margin: Rising Cost Pressures

Capex spending mixed. Capex spending was mixed in 1Q11, ranging from 10.6% to 42.0% (mean: 25.6%) of our full-year estimates. The smallest spenders were INDF at 14.6% of our full-year estimate and RALS at 10.6%. Nevertheless, we left our forecasts unchanged and expect spending to accelerate. INDF is confident its spending will catch up, while RALS will open two big stores in May/June vs one smaller-sized store in 1Q11. Overall, we believe companies are generally upbeat on future demand. 1Q11 Capex Spending

Balance sheets remained solid. On average, net gearing rose slightly to 12.8% in 1Q11 from 10.9% in 4Q10, and improved 20.1ppt yoy from 32.9% in 1Q10 boosted by the significant reduction in INDFs leverage post ICBPs IPO and JPFA as it repaid the restructured debt. Solid Balance Sheet

Action Maintain OVERWEIGHT. We believe the upside potential is justified by the sectors robust outlook. Our consumer universe is now trading at 13.0x 2012F PE, slightly below JCIs 13.2x but higher than its 5-year mean of 10.3x or at +0.9SD. However, we argue that current sector fundamentals are in better shape than before. Maintain INDF as our top pick. We retain INDF as our top pick due to its strong pricing power, while positive catalysts include further increase in selling prices and upcoming IPO of its plantation subsidiary Salim Ivomas Pratama (SIMP) on 9 June. Valuation wise, we also like JPFA which is trading at 9.3x 2011F PE, a 41% discount to Charoen Pokphand Indonesias (CPIN). Lower-than-expected inflation and stronger economic growth. None. We remain positive on the consumer sectors long-term outlook due to its attractive growth potential, supported by a stronger economic growth, swelling disposable income and a burgeoning middle-class. Higher-than-expected inflation, bigger increase in input costs and a smaller rise in selling prices.

Hong Leong Bank Malaysia


A new start
Whats New Hong Leong Bank (HLB) has completed the acquisition of EON Capital (EONC) for RM5.06b. HLB is now the fourth-largest local bank in Malaysia in terms of total assets. We increase our target price to RM13.70, or a 31% upside from RM10.44, pegging it at 2.2x the enlarged HLBs FY12F P/B. Stock Impact Earnings to double by FY13. We project earnings to double from FY10 to RM1.9b by FY13 on a larger loan base (from RM40.8b to RM77.5b) and stronger non-interest income (non-II). We also factor in higher credit cost from 80bp to 106bp for FY12 and 96bp for FY13 as we believe HLB would have more stringent credit criteria to ensure credit quality and high loan loss coverage. Lowest foreign ownership of <10%. HLB has the lowest foreign ownership of 7.44% as at end-Dec 10. The foreign ownership in the past 10 years peaked at 16.56% as at 31 Mar 05. Potential upside from earnings and dividends: - Earnings upside from greater synergies as HLB and ENOC have different clientele base and greater distribution capability with the expanded network of about 300 branches and 1,200 self-service terminals. - Better dividend payout. The enlarge earnings base may lead to higher dividend payout as gross dividend is still fixed at 24sen/share. Earnings Revision/Risk We raise our fully diluted EPS forecasts for FY11 to FY13 by 10%, 23% and 27% to 79.2 sen, RM1.00 and RM1.18 respectively. The upgrade incorporates contribution from the acquisition of EONC. However, we also factor in higher credit cost and operating cost to take into consideration integration expenses. We do not expect staff layoff, thus personnel cost will increase substantially in FY12 but we expect greater efficiency in the medium term. Valuation/Recommendation Maintain BUY with a higher target price of RM13.70 (previous: RM11.90), pegged at 2.2x the enlarged FY12F P/B (1SD from its 10year mean). At RM13.70, we value HLB at 14.4x FY12F PE, below the large banks 15.0-15.5x. The new HLB is likely to leverage on the enlarged network to continue its aggressive and innovative growth strategies to capture a larger market share.

Essential Fund raising partially done. The debt portion of fund raising for acquisition was completed last week, raising about RM2.4b from the issuances of Tier-2 subordinated debt of RM1b and non-innovative Tier-1 stapled securities of RM1.4b. The outstanding one would be the RM1.6b rights issue with respect to funding plans for the RM5.06b acquisition. We have factored in the enlarged share capital into our fully diluted EPS based on HLBs previous announced rights price of RM8.70 on a 1-for-8.2 basis. Major shareholder Hong Leong Financial Group (HLFG) (63.48% stake) will fully undertake its entitlement, which is about RM1,016m. Significant improvement in market share. Both banks focuses on retail lending with HLB focusing mostly on mass affluent market and EONC on the mass market. The enlarged entity would have larger consumer loan market share of 11.2% after CIMBs 11.8% (vs No. 1 Maybanks 17.1%). Although business loan market share is relatively smaller at 6.4% - ranked No. 6, HLB will focus mainly on small & medium (SME) lending. Lending base to grow. HLB has been delivering better-than-market expected (in line with ours) loan growth for the last two quarters, thanks to its aggressive marketing and innovative products. These strategies are likely to deliver greater impact the enlarged branch network and staff strength. We are maintaining our loan growth target for FY12 and FY13 at 8.0% for now and would like to seek a clearer strategy from management for this larger HLB. Regional contribution rising. HLB's regional strength continues to be driven by Bank of Chengdu (20%-owned), which it expects to grow 20% yoy in FY11-13 and contribute 12% to HLBs pre-tax tax (PBT). Raise HLFGs target price to RM14.95 from RM12.30 after the adjustment to HLBs fair value and imposing a 20% holding company discount. Maintain BUY for its exposure to the fast-growing HLB and improving contribution from the enlarged insurance segment after entering a joint venture with Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Malaysia. Share Price Catalyst Better-than-expected loan growth domestically and overseas. HLFG RNAV

Whats New? Falling share of popular votes. As expected, the People's Action Party (PAP) returned to power with a significant majority, winning 81 of the 87 seats. Nevertheless, the incumbent's share of popular votes dipped to 60.1% from 66.6% in the 2006 general election (GE). The decline is notable and is the lowest in record for the incumbent. Notable events in 2011 election. The loss of a Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in Aljunied to the Workers' Party (WP) is unprecedented. The WP managed to cling on to its stronghold Single Member Constituency (SMC) in Hougang although PAP did manage to capture the opposition's Potong Pasir SMC with a slim majority. Otherwise, PM Lee Hsien Loong's Ang Mo Kio GRC won by a larger majority of 69.3% against the Reform Party's (RP) 30.7% (compared to a majority of 66.1% in 2006). Why the weaker share of popular votes? We believe the opposition parties' gain in popular votes is due to several factors, including: a) domestic issues such as rising cost of living, housing and the influx of foreign workers, b) more credible opposition candidates, and c) the proliferation of new media sources such as the internet which has helped highlight issues with the younger voters.

Action A needed review of long-term policies? Despite the expected victory, we think the PAP's falling share of popular votes could prompt a review of long-term policies over issues such as housing and foreign immigration. The government has started addressing some of these issues such as raising the supply of public flats and a push to drive productivity with a less emphasis on the use of foreign labour. As an indication, the number of new permanent residents grew only 1.5% in 2010 compared with at least 6% in 2005-09. Although we think the government may review some of its long-term policies, we do not see a major near-term shift in issues, such as getting in foreign talent. A drastic change could curtail Singapore's drive to be a global city. In addition, Singapore's low birth rate of 1.16 is a historic low and below the replacement rate of 2.1. In summary, we think a fine-tuning is more likely, with the government being more selective with the inflow of foreigners. Sectors with potential impact. In our view, sectors that could see longterm impact from any potential fine-tuning of policies include residential property, land transport, gaming and labour-intensive sectors such as construction and shipyards. However, we do not anticipate any major near-term shift in government policies but a gradual move or tweaks in policies. Limited direct market impact as in previous elections. Looking at previous GEs and the performance of the stock market post elections, we see no discernible patterns. For example, 1991 saw the biggest win of four seats by the opposition parties but the FSSTI rose 4% six months after the election vs a decline of 1.3% prior to the elections. In the last three GEs, the PAP won all but two seats. Despite the steady performance, the stock market registered mixed performances of -3% to +31% over a six-month period after the GE.

Valuation support. The FSSTIs 2011F PE of 14x looks reasonable compared to its long-term mean of 17.4x. On a P/B basis, the markets consensus 2011F P/B of 1.57x is undemanding and at a 23% discount to the regional average of 2.05x. Our end-11 FSSTI target is 3,524, based on FSSTIs long-term average PE of 17.4x. As a sanity check, our bottom-up target prices for the stocks under our coverage imply a target of 3,526. We see any major pull-back on the results of the 2011 GE as a buying opportunity. The current market risk premium is 5.92% and we estimate a 25-50bp rise in risk premium could bring the FSSTI down to 2,900-3,000. Themes to drive outperformance in 2H11. Looking ahead, we see several themes that could offer attractive returns. These include: a) reflation/inflation (banks, commodities, commercial properties), b) capex cycle recovery (shipyards, oil service providers, IT), c) sustainable and high dividend yield, and d) low beta and capital preservation. No change to our assumptions. We forecast market EPS to grow 4.7% yoy in 2011 and 12.0% yoy in 2012. We forecast 2011 GDP growth of 5.0% yoy in 2011 and 4.5% yoy in 2012. Key risks include: a) Eurozone debt contagion, b) geopolitical risks/Middle East unrest, c) further property cooling measures, d) sharper-than-expected global inflation, and e) a faster-than-expected hike in interest rates.

Property Singapore
Property Nuggets: Positive commercial sentiment offsets residentials
Whats New? Residential sector weighs on real estate sentiment index. The Current Sentiment Index, which represents present market conditions vs six months ago, fell to 4.9 in 1Q11 (4Q10: 5.7), according to Redas-NUS. The Future Sentiment Index, which represents the expectations of the property market conditions over the next six months, also slipped to 5.1 (4Q10: 5.8). A score below 5 indicates deteriorating market conditions and vice versa. The survey also showed only 14% of developers polled (4Q10: 62%) expect a moderate price rise while 69% (4Q10: 30%) expect prices to remain flat over next six months. The data indicates that the government measures are slowly taking effect. Positive commercial sentiment offsets weak residential sentiment. The overall outlook for real estate market remains positive with respondents expecting the residential slack to be offset by the favorable outlook for other sectors. They expect the most favourable outook for the office sector (+62%) followed by hotel/serviced apartment (+58%) sector. This is followed by a strong outlook for the business park/high tech (+52%) and industrial/logistics (+48%) as well as a stable retail (+22% for prime retail and +30% for suburban retail sector. Action The sentiments echoed are in line with our favourable stance on the office, industrial and hospitality sectors and a cautious outlook on residential sector. Our top picks are OUE, AREIT and CDL Hospitality Trusts for these segments respectively. Sector Catalysts Positive newsflow on office pre-leasing activity, office conversions and improving liquidity at benchmark levels. Pick-up in industrial rents and capital values, new foreign direct investments and yield-accretive acquisitions. Strong growth in visitor arrivals leading to sustained high occupancies and further pick-up in room rates. Assumption Changes None. We forecast office rental and capital values to increase 15-20% and factory, warehouse and business parks rentals to increase 5-10% in 2011. We forecast hotel RevPAR to grow 17% in 2011 while overall residential prices are expected to fall 5-10% this year. Peer Comparison

Risks A weaker-than-expected pick-up in demand depressing rentals and capital values in the office and industrial segments. A delay in the opening of next phase of attractions resulting in lower visitor arrivals. Key Sector and Corporate Updates Residential: URA releases Choa Chu Kang and West coast residential sites. The site at West Coast Link has a maximum permissible gross floor area (GFA) of 381,600sf and can accommodate an estimated 360 units. The second plot at Choa Chu Kang Road has a maximum permissible GFA of 347,800sf and can house 335 units. The tenders for the site close on 23 June and 30 June respectively. Comment: We estimate top bids in the range of S$575-625psfppr for the West Coast site (assuming selling prices of S$1,050psf) and S$525575psfppr for the Choa Chu Kang site (assuming selling prices of S$950psf). The Choa Chu Kang site is expected to attract more developers interest due to its proximity to MRT station and lack of new projects in the area. Office: Singapore rentals rose the third-fastest in Asia-Pacific. According to Jones Lang LaSalle, Singapore office rentals grew 7.9% qoq in 1Q11, the third-fastest in the region. Jakarta recorded the fastest growth of 9.5%. Office capital values increased 4.5% in 1Q11, significantly lower than the 42% jump in office prices in Hong Kong. Comment: Yield compression is reversing as office rentals rise to keep pace with the rapid increase in capital values. Office demand remains positive as firms continue expansion plans and hiring momentum remains strong. Hospitality: Room rates to remain high. Hotel room rates are expected to climb a further 10-15% yoy in 2011 even as the new pipeline of 1,499 rooms comes on stream, according to CBRE Hotels Asia Pacific. Comment: The estimates are in line with our expectation of a 16% growth in hotel RevPAR this year. Growth in visitor arrivals will likely be supported by factors such as the two integrated resorts, the upcoming International Cruise Terminal as well as the recent efforts to rejuvenate Orchard Road.

Source: COSCO Corp (S), UOB Kay Hian

COSCO Corp (S) (COSCO (S)) reported a net profit of S$37.1m (+17% yoy) for 1Q11. 1Q is seasonally the weakest quarter because of the winter season and the Chinese New Year holidays. Nonetheless, 1Q11 results were below our expectation because of lower shipping earnings and a cost provision of S$20.3m. Shipping turnover declined 46% yoy given the impact of lower dry bulk shipping charter rates as proxied by a depressed Baltic Dry Index (BDI) at 1,365 in 1Q11 vs 3,027 in 1Q10. The negative impact has kicked in faster than expected. That said, the impact on our fair valuation of COSCO (S) is muted as it is based on P/B instead of PE as we are always cognisant of the volatility of dry bulk shipping earnings. We expect dry bulk freight rates to improve in 2H due to seasonally higher dry bulk trades. COSCO (S) does not provide quarterly earnings breakdown. We estimate the shipping turnover decline of S$14.7m would have filtered to net profit. Moreover, COSCO (S) made a cost provision of S$20.3m for projected cost increases related to contracts secured in the last five months.

Excluding the impact of the lower shipping earnings and the cost provision, net profit would have more than doubled yoy to S$72.1m. In spite of the lower shipping earnings and the cost provision, group gross profit increased 43% yoy with gross margin improving 1.7ppt yoy to 11.1%. Management said core shipbuilding gross margin (including the cost provision) improved to just under 10% vs 4% a year ago, due to improved shipbuilding lead time. The building of a 57,000-dwt dry bulk carrier has improved to 13 months in 1Q11 vs 18 months a year ago (2010: 15 months). Management sees further improvement as it targets to reduce shipbuilding lead time to 12 months by end-11. Stock Impact Share price will likely weaken in the short term given 1Q11s belowexpectation performance. But, we expect share price to regain strength on offshore contract wins. Ytd, COSCO (S) has won new contracts worth US$300m. Pending new contracts include US$1.05b contracts from Sevan Drilling for two semi-submersible Sevan drillers given that Sevan Drilling has successfully raised the required capital for the rigs in its recent IPO listing on the Oslo exchange. Separately, Upstream reports COSCO Shipyard is in the running to build two Le Tourneau Workhorse 240C-class jack-up rigs for KS Energy. Jasper Investments is also looking to invest in a similar Le Tourneau jack-up rig, according to Upstream. These three rigs could translate into shipyard contracts worth US$540m. We have imputed total contract wins of US$3b for 2011 and S$3.5b each for 2012 and 2013 in our earnings forecasts for COSCO (S). Earnings Revision/Risk We lower our 2011, 2012 and 2013 net profit forecasts by 16%, 8% and 11% respectively. The downside risks to our forecasts are lower-thanexpected contract wins and margins. We maintain our target price of S$2.50 which is at a 5% premium to our sum-of-the-parts valuation of S$2.38/share. Offshore contract wins and sequential shipbuilding margin improvement.

Results Oxley Holdings (Oxley) reported 3QFY11 net profit of S$5.5m, bringing 9MFY11 net profit to S$7.1m. 3QFY11 revenue touched S$22.5m, up 275% qoq, due to progressive recognition from more projects and new contributions from Viva Vista. The results were below our expectations, at 25% of our full-year forecast, due to slower-than-anticipated revenue recognition from projects.
Stock Impact Oxley Bizhub 42% sold at S$677psf. Oxley has sold 42% of the total 728 units at its Oxley Bizhub development. The ASP is estimated at S$677psf. Our checks with agents revealed that most were single-level factory units sold at S$550-700psf, while the loft factory units at S$400-500psf and the ramp-up warehouse units at S$700-800psf saw slower demand. Developing freehold industrial projects. Oxley acquired two pieces of industrial land in March and Apr 11. The first parcel, at 124 Lorong 23 Geylang, was acquired for S$9.5m, or S$349psf ppr. The freehold property is zoned for light industrial use and is sited on a 10,890sf site with a plot ratio of 2.5. We estimate the ASP for the project at S$700-800psf.

Another record GLS industrial site bid. Oxley also acquired a second 60-year leasehold industrial plot at Ubi Road 1/ Ubi Avenue 4 from a government land sale (GLS) tender for S$72.2m, or S$217psf ppr, a new record price for an industrial site. The psf price is 28% higher than the S$169psf ppr acquisition cost for the Ubi Road 1 site for Oxley Bizhub. Oxley will have a 55% stake in this project. We believe that, with the strong sales demand for Oxley Bizhub, Oxley would be able to maintain ASP of at least S$600-650psf on NLA. Two more residential projects fully sold. Oxley has sold the remaining residential units at Loft @ Stevens and Vibes @ Kovan. This brings the number of sold-out residential projects to 8 out of the 14 residential projects in Oxleys landbank. The Devonshire Residences development launched in Mar 11 is 95% sold at a median price of S$2,505psf. We expect Oxley will continue to launch 2-3 projects per quarter. Savvy switch into industrial and office properties. Oxleys continued focus on acquiring industrial and office sites to build its landbank marks a savvy switch into industrial and office properties, which now form 42% and 26% of its RNAV respectively. Its portfolio diversification across segments reduces the risk of regulatory and government measures. Building a debt mountain. Net gearing rose from 212% in 2QFY11 to 370% in 3QFY11, driven by a 59% qoq increase in debt. This represents the highest net gearing among developers under our coverage. Average gearing for the developers under our coverage is 50%. The high gearing poses the greatest risk to Oxley, especially if interest rates were to rise substantially, or if there are difficulties in selling projects.

Earnings Revision/Risk We lower our FY11 net profit estimate by 25% to S$21.3m to reflect a slower-than-anticipated project recognition schedule, and raise our FY12-13 estimates by 20-39% to reflect the deferred project revenue recognition and the acquisitions of the two additional industrial sites. Valuation/Recommendation Maintain HOLD and we raise our target price to S$0.36 (from S$0.30). This is based on a 10% discount to our revised RNAV of S$0.40/share (previously S$0.33/share) after factoring in the two additional industrial properties. Entry price is S$0.29. Share Price Catalysts High sales volume (>75%) at its Ubi Road 1 industrial site and its two Robinson Road office sites. Higher-than-expected ASPs and efficiency for its industrial and office sites. Competitively-priced land acquisitions.

Results United Overseas Bank (UOB) reported 1Q11 net profit of S$612m (12.6% yoy), in line with consensus of S$623m. Acceleration in loan growth. Loans grew 6.7% qoq and 19.1% yoy, driven mostly by overseas markets (Malaysia +8.0% qoq, Indonesia +11.1% qoq and China +15.2% qoq). From an industry perspective, the acceleration in loan growth was driven by building & construction, general commerce and housing. UOB is likely to have gained market share with loan growth surpassing that of DBS and OCBC in 1Q11. Deposits expanded by a slower 3.0% qoq, thus loan/deposit ratio moved higher to 82.1%. More fees from growth in loans. Fee income grew 6.5% qoq to S$330m, coming mainly from a 59.1% qoq jump in contribution from loan-related activities due to the huge volume of loans approved and disbursed. Other sources of fee income were largely unchanged on a sequential basis. Improvement in asset quality. Provisions were much lower than in 4Q10 due to lower specific provision. NPL ratio improved from 1.8% to 1.6% due to lower NPLs in Thailand.

World Precision Machinery Singapore


Heading up north
Whats New World Precision Machinery (WPM) has secured land use rights for a 3.9m sf plot of industrial land within the Shenyang Economic and Technological Zone. WPM will pay Rmb123.3m for the land use rights, which will last for 50 years. According to management, the land use rights were acquired at below market price. Targeting new customers up North. The rationale behind the expansion was to increase sales activities in Northern China. Existing customers there include Changchun First Auto Works and Dalian Locomotive. The increase in fuel and transportation costs makes it important to be close to customers, especially for high-performance/ high-tonnage stamping machines that are very bulky. It is also cheaper to source for raw materials in Shenyang. 20mm steel plate is priced at Rmb4,880/MT in Shenyang, a 3.8% discount to Rmb5,070/MT in Shanghai. The difference is due to transportation cost. WPM plans to invest Rmb400-500m for its new Shenyang plant over the next 2-3 years. Management expects the new plant, which is likely to focus on high-performance/high-tonnage stamping machines, to commence production in 2H12. It could account for one-third of group revenue when fully equipped and fully ramp-up. Generous tax incentives. WPM was invited by the Liaoning provincial government to invest in Shenyang. The company could secure generous tax exemption for up to 10 years. It could also apply for other government grants and assistance. Realignment in corporate identity. The company has changed its name from Bright World Precision Machinery to World Precision Machinery, which more closely identifies the company with parent company World Group. World Group is an industrial equipment conglomerate involved in the production of agricultural machinery, construction equipment, gantry cranes, horticultural tools and automobile components.

Earnings Revision/Risk According to management, the purchase of land use rights will be funded by internally generated resources. WPM has already injected US$10m or Rmb66m when it incorporated World Precise Machinery (Shenyang) Co Ltd in Dec 10. Steady inflow of new orders. WPM has over 2,000 customers and it receives orders on a daily basis. It currently secures orders at a rate of Rmb100-120m/month, in line with target revenue growth of 30-40% in 2011. WPMs orderbook has increased from Rmb270m in Feb 11 to the current Rmb428m. We reduce our net profit forecast for 2011 by 2.1% due to interest expense and amortisation for land use rights. We also trim our net profit for 2012 by 4.8% due to start-up expenses for the new Shenyang plant in 2H12. Maintain BUY. Valuation is attractive with WPM trading at 7.4x 2011F PE and P/B of 1.5x. Our 12-month target price is S$1.07, based on 12x 2011F PE. Order flows. Contract flow for high-tonnage stamping machines, particularly from automobile customers. Restructuring within World Group.

Results LPN Developments (LPN) results were in line with expectations. Condominium sales grew 72% mainly from the ownership transfer of three completed projects. Gross margin declined qoq but improved 3ppt yoy. SG&A expense-to-sales ratio and net margin were stable qoq. 1Q11 net profit of Bt406m (+50% yoy but -29% qoq) accounted for 23% of our full-year forecast. We keep our net profit forecast unchanged. Stock Impact Presales and new launches targets for 2011 under review. LPN targets 2011 realised sales at Bt12b (+25% yoy), presales at Bt16b (+7% yoy) and new launches at Bt16b (+15% yoy). Since all of 2011 condominium sales are already in hand, LPN maintains its full-year forecast. Value of new launches to date was Bt6.4b (40% of its full-year target) and LPN can launch another four projects worth Bt6b. But LPN is still looking to adjust the schedule of new launches. The problematic area is the softer-than-expected selling pace amid a lacklustre market outlook with massive supply in the low-end condominium segment and strict borrowing measures. So far, the take-up in small projects worth less than Bt1b, like Nida-Seri Thai, La-Salle Baring and Pibulsongkram, are still at a healthy 75-100%. But big projects worth over Bt1b each still see soft takeup rate of 30-35%. Its mega Bt5.5b Riverside Rama 3, launched in 4Q10, was 53% sold so far. Presales in 4M11 of around Bt4b accounted for 25% of its full-year target.

All of 2011 sales in hand. Presales for 1Q11 came in at Bt3.6b, driving the current backlog to Bt14.7b. This implies that all of 2011 sales and 40% of 2012 sales are already in hand. 70% of 2011 new launches will come out in 1H11. LPN launched five projects in 1Q11 worth a combined Bt4.7b, and about 67% or Bt3.1b was sold. Last week, LPN launched the Bt1.65b Pattanakarn project and 35% was already sold. Another three new projects worth a total Bt4.8b will be launched in 2Q11. For 2H11, new launches are likely to slow to around Bt4.8b, -57% from 1H11s.

Opt for conservative strategies but still firm on upcountry expansion. Source: LPN, UOB Kay Hian This year, LPN turned conservative by reducing the size of its new projects, Quarterly Results collecting higher down-payment and launching each project in phases Bt rather than all at one go. However, LPN is going ahead with its penetration 4000 into the upcountry market for the first time. It will launch two upcountry 3500 projects worth a total Bt2b in Pattaya this quarter. 3000 Limited upside from the governments new incentive. Housing loans with no interest for the first two years will be offered to the first time next week to home buyers who purchase a residential unit priced at less than Bt3m/unit. This scheme is good for buyers of completed condominiums that are ready to be transferred but not for LPN whose projects were mostly sold out two years ago. Buyers of new condominiums launched this year will also not benefit as these projects need another 18-24 months to be developed. However, LPN is looking to launch a special campaign similar to this scheme to spur demand for its new condominiums.

Quarterly results trend. LPN hints that its results will improve qoq in 2Q11 mainly from the completion of the Bt3.6b Pinklao project. This year, its profitability is likely to peak in 3Q, driven by the remaining portion of Pinklao sales and the full booking of the Bt3.2b Ratchayothin project. On the other hand, 4Q will the weakest quarter this year with around Bt2b of sales from Rama 4 and Nida 1 projects. Earnings Revision None. Valuation/Recommendation Maintain HOLD with a target price of Bt10.84, pegged to its five-year PE mean of 9x. Our entry level is below Bt9.00. The outlook for mid- to lowend condominium segment has not been rosy since 4Q10. With massive new supply coming out at end-10, the industrys average take-up rate has plunged to 30-50% in the past two quarters. It will take at least another six months to absorb the surplus. A rapid rise in development costs and interest rates is also hurting market sentiment.
