PP10551/07/2012 (030567) 13 January 2012 MALAYSIA EQUITY Investment Research Daily Research on the Move The Research Team +60 (3) 9207 7688 [email protected] Oldtown We Know What You Ate Last December CONSUMER As a follow-up to initiating coverage on Oldtown last week, we now present the results of a survey conducted in December 2011 at selected Oldtown outlets and those of its competitors in the Klang Valley. The survey reinforces our view that Oldtown is a staple brand for the urban mass market. Based on our results, we continue to like Oldtown’s growth prospects and solid fundamentals. We maintain our BUY recommendation, valuing the stock at RM1.55 based on 13.0x FY12 EPS. First-of-its-kind Equities Research Café Survey. To substantiate our positive view on the company’s F&B business and the F&B industry as a whole, we conducted a survey to gauge the sales at Oldtown’s outlets as well as consumer sentiment at several café outlets in the Klang Valley. Based on the data collected and after making a few assumptions, we estimated the average revenue per day for a particular outlet, and subsequently, the total revenue for that month. December the month for eating and drinking. From our survey, it would appear that KFC is the undisputed leader in food and beverage (F&B), recording total transactions that exceed its competitors in the same area by more than two times. On the other hand, Oldtown recorded transactions that are generally in the top 25% quartile of the F&B outlets in suburban malls as it appeals to the mass market, which it has a niche. As expected, Papparich appears to be Oldtown’s closest rival as its number of transactions is close to the latter’s in cases where the two co-exist in the same area. Last but not least, we think that Malaysians are generally brand conscious even when it comes to kopitiam outlets, as shown by the gap between the leading kopitiam brands and other kopitiam franchises, as illustrated in Table 3. Positive outlook post yesterday’s investor briefing. Following our meeting with the management yesterday, we remain confident that the group’s earnings momentum will sustain in the ensuing quarters. Management reaffirms that it will continue to pay out 50% of its net profit as dividends for FY11 and will try to sustain this payout going forward. The stock offers a dividend yield of 4.1%for FY11 and 4.6% for FY12, based on its last closing price of RM1.29. Current rally still has legs. We initiated coverage on Oldtown last week with a BUY call. Since then, the stock has inched up by some 3.2% and is currently 16.8% below our Fair Value (FV). We think that there is still upside in the immediate term as Oldtown‘s 4Q11 earnings will most likely exceed our conservative expectations to substantiate our positive view on the stock. We value the stock at RM1.55, based on 13.0x FY12 EPS. At yesterday’s closing price of RM1.29, the stock is currently trading at 10.8x FY12 EPS.

Our quest sent us on a food trail covering 7 outlets in 6 areas in the Klang Valley. These were Cheras Leisure Mall, Jalan Cheras, Bangsar, 1Utama Shopping Mall, Publika (Mont Kiara), Ampang Park (KL), and Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall. Please see Figure 1 and Table 1.

The outcome of our survey depended on obtaining two key indicators from the café outlets, namely the total number of transactions for the day and number of point-of-sales. With the data gathered coupled with a few assumptions, we were able to estimate the total revenue per day by multiplying the day’s total number of transactions with number of point-of-sales, the estimated number of customers per transaction and estimated average spend. From these figures, we derived the estimated number of customers observed, while we arrived at the average spend per customer at the café outlets by assuming that every customer purchases one food item and one drink (the cheapest item on the menu). Ampang Park outlet the busiest. Among the 7 Oldtown outlets surveyed, the outlet in Ampang Park Shopping Mall recorded the highest number of transactions of 284 while the outlets in UOA Building in Bangsar and Publika in Mont Kiara had the least (144 each). This may be because these outlets cater mainly to office workers who may have been on leave or away due for holidays during the duration of the survey. We note that Oldtown’s estimated revenue per store per day is consistent among the F&B operators such as Papparich, Hailam Kopitiam and Kenny Rogers, except for KFC, whose sales clearly outperformed the other F&B operators we surveyed. In terms of revenue, Oldtown’s best performing outlet among the 7 in the survey was its Oldtown Signature store in 1 Utama, which generated some 255 transactions totaling an estimated RM11,359, followed by Ampang Park and Sunway Pyramid with 284 and 276 transactions estimated to be worth RM10,575 and RM10,277 respectively. In line with our view, we also noticed a substantial gap in terms of sales between Oldtown and Papparich versus other kopitiam operators. We think that Papparich will remain an arch rival of Oldtown’s in the medium to long term given the fierce competition between the two brands. Survey findings at a glance: 1. KFC is by far the leader among its peer, a finding that is hardly surprising although some may argue that this is not a fair comparison. 2. The estimated revenue per day would suggest that Oldtown’s strength is in the Suburban Mass Market as the outlets in Cheras, Bandar Utama and Sunway outperformed those in the more affluent neighbourhoods of Bangsar and Damansara Heights. 3. Oldtown seems to be holding its own against its peers as the estimated revenue per day points to Oldtown consistently among the top quartile of similar cafes. 4. Malaysians appear to be brand conscious even when it comes to kopitiams as sales at both Oldtown and Paparich appear to substantially lead sales at other less established kopitiams.

As shown in Figures 11-18, we feel that café outlets are fast becoming informal meeting and dining places where the young, old, traditional and trendy, locals and tourists converge. We think that Malaysians in general like the café experience offered by the café operators, which offer a wide selection of food and beverages as well as a relaxing ambience for meeting up and dining. We think that this trend should remain in the medium term and should benefit Oldtown, which offers the café experience at an affordable price and at convenient locations. Watch out for competition. We think that Oldtown will need to keep a close watch on its competitors as some of them are already starting to slash prices by introducing set menus targeted to specific times of the day (Papparich introduced its breakfast set menu recently offering set meals from as low as RM4.90). We think that the competitors are jeopardizing margins to secure more sales – lower margins but earnings compensated by volume. Although its pricing strategy is still competitive at this juncture, Oldtown will need to ensure that its quality of product and services remain competitive in the market. Nevertheless, we continue to like the company for its strong brand and superior marketing strategy, judging from the consistent inflow of customers across all the outlets we surveyed. We think that its advertising and promotional activities (trimedia: print, TV and radio) has paid off, as the total number of transactions in each of the outlets we surveyed is competitive vis-à-vis its peers, such as Papparich and Hailam Kopitiam. Positive after yesterday’s investor briefing. Following our meeting with the management yesterday, we believe that the company is on track to report earnings that are within our expectations, as 4Q is generally the best quarter for the F&B industry due to the holiday season and our view is further reinforced by our positive survey findings. To recap, we are forecasting Oldtown to achieve a net profit of RM35.3m for FY11, representing a net profit growth of 11.5% for FY11. FMCG business to expand to South Korea and Vietnam. Oldtown will continue to grow its FMCG business among the Muslim population locally and it intends to expand its export market to South Korea and Vietnam this year. We think that its Vietnam venture will face strong competition from local brands, especially Trung Nguyen Coffee which is the dominant brand there. Nevertheless, management intends to enter this market on a smaller scale to determine its long-term viability. Back in Malaysia, the group will continue to invest in advertising and promotional activities, such as participating in the ‘Jom Heboh’ programme to grow its market share among the Muslim population. We like the idea of Oldtown expanding its Muslim population market share, but we think that it will face strong competition from established brands, such as Nescafe (Nescafe held a 70% market share in Malaysia in 2009). We are maintaining our earnings forecast for FY12 and FY13, as we have already factored in the growth in sales from this strategy. All in all, we continue to be bullish on the growth of Oldtown’s FMCG business, given the strength of its brand and popularity of its products both locally and regionally. Maintain conservative forecasts for F&B business. During the briefing, the management guided that its F&B business in China is well accepted and doing well. It expects to open 15-20 stores in the Guangdong region this year. Management also highlighted that the key focus this year for its F&B business is to upgrade its food quality and services. To achieve this, it will be investing some RM500,000 in internal training programmes and incentive schemes. Nevertheless, we maintain our view that revenue growth from Oldtown’s F&B business will be highly correlated to the new number of outlets opened moving forward, and hence, we are forecasting the same store sales growth to be no more than 0.5% for FY11-13. To recap, we are forecasting the revenue growth for its F&B business at 20.5% for FY12 and 13.3% in FY13. Maintain BUY rating. FV at RM1.55. We continue to like Oldtown’s exposure to the defensive F&B subsector, in view of its: (i) attractive valuation, (ii) decent top- and bottom-line growth, and (iii) stabilizing margins. Management reaffirmed that it will pay out 50% of its FY11 net profit as dividends and will try to sustain this payout moving forward. We maintain our BUY recommendation on Oldtown, based on 13.0x FY12 EPS.
