Malakoff - Bursa Market Place
7 July 2015 Positives priced in Initiate Coverage We initiate coverage on Malakoff, the largest independent power producer in Malaysia with a HOLD rating and a DCF-based target price of RM1.92. While we forecast a 2014-17 earnings CAGR of 17%, we believe these positives are already priced in. Nonetheless, we see Malakoff as a decent dividend yield play with management guidance of at least 70% dividend payout. Malakoff MLK MK Sector: Utilities Reliable cash flows supported by long term PPAs Malakoff exhibits stable and defensive earnings as its power generation capacity is fully contracted for based on long term power purchase agreements (PPAs) that feature fuel cost pass through and scheduled escalations in relation to operating rates. TNB is the key offtaker for output of power generation and contributes c.90% to Malakoff’s revenue. RM1.79 @ 6 Jul 2015 Potential expansion from longer term opportunities Management intends to grow Malakoff’s total effective power generation capacity from 7,036MW in 2016 to 10,000MW by 2020. However, most of the plant-ups for Peninsular Malaysia have already been awarded by the EC and thus may present a challenge to Malakoff’s medium term growth plans. Malakoff’s plan to export power also comes with regulatory and political hurdles. Nonetheless, we do not rule out Malakoff pursuing M&A as they have demonstrated in the past to achieve their targets. Previous Target: New Coverage Ample room to gear up for expansion and more foreign ventures With a healthier balance sheet now, Malakoff is better positioned to undertake new power projects as well as pursue M&A to grow. Malakoff has established a good M&A track record since privatisation in 2006, notably the Macarthur Wind Farm which is a key foreign earnings driver. Tapping into electricity and water demand growth in foreign markets Malakoff has an existing presence in foreign markets namely Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Bahrain which are expected to show high growth in electricity and water demand. While Malakoff has relatively small minority stakes in many of its foreign ventures, it intends to consolidate and increase market share in the MENA region. Initiating coverage with HOLD and TP of RM1.92 We initiate coverage on Malakoff with a HOLD rating and 12-month TP of RM1.92 based on DCF (WACC: 6.3%). While we like Malakoff for its decent dividend yield of 3-4% and stable cash flows, we believe most of the positives are already priced in.

The offtakers for Malakoff’s power generation output consist of high credit government or government-linked entities, which suggests that there is minimal risk to earnings. The key offtaker for Malakoff is Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), which is a 30%-government-owned entity and is the sole offtaker in Malaysia. TNB contributes c.90% to Malakoff’s revenue, which mainly comprises of capacity payments and energy payments. This is unsurprising, given that the bulk of Malakoff’s existing 6,036MW effective power generation capacity is derived domestically. Malakoff derives the bulk of its gross profits from capacity payments, which mainly cover the power plant’s fixed costs and capital costs. Note that TNB is required to pay the available capacity payment to Malakoff regardless of whether Malakoff despatches the power generated from the power plant, provided that the power plant makes available a daily available capacity (committed availability declared by Malakoff on a daily basis) to TNB and meets certain performance targets specified in the relevant PPA.

The energy payments generally cover the power plant’s fuel costs as well as variable operation and maintenance (O&M) costs that are incurred when TNB despatches the power generated from the power plant. Under the PPAs for Malakoff’s CCGT power plants, the cost of gas is passed on to TNB pursuant to the formulas under the respective PPAs, which has historically fully covered the cost of gas. Should Malakoff’s CCGT power plants need to run on distillate oil upon direction from TNB, the cost of distillate oil is passed on to TNB as well. The cost pass through mechanism for fuel applies to Malakoff’s coal-fired power plants as well. Affin Hwang Investment Bank Bhd (14389-U) (Formerly known as HwangDBS Investment Bank Bhd) Page 2 of 22 7 July 2015 Malakoff has good earnings visibility given that it has the longest PPA term remaining among the Malaysian independent power producers (IPPs), with a weighted average PPA term of about 13 years. With the inclusion of Tanjung Bin Energy’s PPA (due to start operation in March 2016) Malakoff’s weighted average PPA term increases to about 15 years.

While coal will remain as the dominant source of fuel for generation mix in Peninsular Malaysia, we note that the EC has largely planned out future plant-ups until 2024. Fig 3: Outlook of generation mix for Peninsular Malaysia Source: Energy Commission Malakoff has established a track record with coal-fired power plants with the successful development and operation of the 2,100MW Tanjung Bin Power Plant, one of the largest coal-fired power plants in South East Asia. According to management, Malakoff is on track to complete the 1,000MW Tanjung Bin Energy Power Plant by Mar16. Malakoff has ample room to expand its generation capacity with its existing land bank estimated at 400 hectares in total and with remaining leases of 47 years on average that have easy access to transmission infrastructure. For example, the Tanjung Bin site has a remaining lease of up to 33 years, which can be used to support further PPA extensions or new capacity expansion. Affin Hwang Investment Bank Bhd (14389-U) (Formerly known as HwangDBS Investment Bank Bhd) Page 4 of 22 7 July 2015 Potential expansion from longer term opportunities Management intends to grow Malakoff’s total effective power generation capacity from 7,036MW in 2016 (with the addition of Tanjung Bin Energy Power Plant) to 10,000MW by 2020. However, most of the plant-ups in Peninsular Malaysia involving coal and gas have already been awarded by the EC and thus may present a challenge to Malakoff’s medium term growth plans. Nonetheless, we do not rule out Malakoff pursuing M&As as they have demonstrated in the past to achieve their targets.

We understand from management that Malakoff is still in discussions with PETRONAS for a role in the 1,300MW cogeneration power plant that forms part of PETRONAS’ Refinery and Petrochemicals Integrated Development (RAPID) project in southern Johor. At this stage, talks are still ongoing to work out the split in equity ownership. While PETRONAS is not completely without experience in terms of running gas-fired power plants, such as the RM1.5bn 400MW gas-fired Kimanis Power Plant managed by subsidiary Petronas Gas, we believe PETRONAS may benefit from Malakoff’s track record as well as inhouse operations & maintenance (O&M) expertise. Between 2015 and 2019, coal is expected to be the main fuel for generation as an additional 5,000MW of coal-fired capacity will be commissioned. However, to ensure a balanced fuel mix while meeting future demand, the EC is projecting an additional 3,000MW capacity based on CCGT to be commissioned with the first 1,000MW by Jun18 followed by another 2,000MW by Jan21. Affin Hwang Investment Bank Bhd (14389-U) (Formerly known as HwangDBS Investment Bank Bhd) Page 5 of 22 7 July 2015 In the nearer term, we believe there is an opportunity for Malakoff to bid for the 2,000MW CCGT. The tender process for the 2,000MW CCGT has yet to be done and Malakoff would likely be keen given its extensive background experience in CCGT. According to the Energy Commission (EC), the power transfer from Sarawak Interconnection has been further delayed to 2024, resulting in an additional 1,000MW coal fired power plant to be built in 2023 as compensation. We believe this is also an opportunity that Malakoff would likely be keen on, although the tender may only take place in 2018 assuming a 5 year construction period. Nonetheless, the projected steady growth of Malaysia’s GDP as well as electricity demand underlines the long term potential for future plant-ups in Peninsular Malaysia. We note however that compared to GDP, the electricity growth rates are projected to be lower as we note that elasticity of electricity demand to GDP has been hovering marginally below 1.0 for the last several years.

According to management, Malakoff is looking into the possibility of a new 1,000MW coal-fired power plant at the Tanjung Bin site to export power to Singapore. Based solely on cost alone, there is an argument to be made for exporting power to Singapore, since the average energy cost per kWh using coal is about 10 sen. In comparison, Singapore relies mainly on natural gas imports which are more expensive and incurred an average energy cost per kWh of 59 sen. However, we believe there are regulatory and political hurdles to go through before Malakoff is able to export power to Singapore, and that further discussions would need to take place between the relevant government agencies. We believe these issues may be applicable as well for exporting power to Thailand. While management acknowledges that Malakoff lacks a ready existing site to build a power plant for exporting power to Thailand, Malakoff has identified a few potential suitable sites. Affin Hwang Investment Bank Bhd (14389-U) (Formerly known as HwangDBS Investment Bank Bhd) Page 6 of 22 7 July 2015 Ample room to gear up for expansion and more foreign ventures Malakoff has emerged with a healthier balance sheet post-IPO after raising a gross proceed of RM1.8bn (based on 1bn new shares issued) to fully redeem the RM1.8bn Junior Sukuk Musharakah. Note that the 30year sukuk bears a profit rate of 6.3% per annum until Sep15 and a profit rate of 9.3% thereafter until maturity in 2042). Therefore, we view the proceeds from the IPO as timely, due to the significant savings in finance costs that Malakoff stands to gain. As a result, we estimate that Malakoff’s gross debt of RM18.2bn as at Mar15 would be reduced to RM16.4bn. This implies its gross debt/equity ratio would improve from 4.6x to 2.7x, which is significantly below its debt covenant level of 5.5x. Fig 6: Gross debt/equity ratio to improve post-IPO (x) 4.6 2.7 Before IPO After IPO Source: Company data The healthier balance sheet would help Malakoff undertake new power projects as well as conduct M&As to grow. Malakoff has established a good track record in M&A since privatisation in 2006, notably the Macarthur Wind Farm which is a key foreign earnings driver. Fig 7: Malakoff’s M&A track record since privatization Year Country Target 2012 Bahrain Hidd Power 2013 2014 Australia Malaysia Macarthur Wind Farm Port Dickson Power Equity Stake 40.0% 50.0% Increased from 25% to 100% Plant Type Natural Gas / Distillate Oil Wind OCGT Generation Capacity 929MW 410,000 m3/day 420MW 436.4MW Effective Capacity 372MW 164,000 m3/day 210MW 436.4MW Source: Company data We believe that with limited domestic opportunities available in the short to medium term, management may adopt the M&A approach to meet its effective power generation capacity target of 10,000MW by 2020. Domestically, Malakoff had acquired the remaining 75% interest in Port Dickson Power Plant in 2014. Meanwhile, the acquisition of a 50.0% stake in Macarthur Wind Farm (effective renewable power capacity of 210MW) in 2013 marks one of Malakoff’s more prominent foreign acquisitions. Affin Hwang Investment Bank Bhd (14389-U) (Formerly known as HwangDBS Investment Bank Bhd) Page 7 of 22 7 July 2015 Outside of Malaysia, Malakoff intends to explore opportunities in developed markets where renewable energy and power generation are given high importance and treated with priority, such as Australia and the United Kingdom.

According to Frost & Sullivan, electricity production from renewable energy in Australia is expected to expand to 63,000 GWh (2013-2020 CAGR of 9.9%), while the United Kingdom is expected to see a 2013-2020 CAGR of 12.7% to 110,000 GWh. Affin Hwang Investment Bank Bhd (14389-U) (Formerly known as HwangDBS Investment Bank Bhd) Page 8 of 22 7 July 2015 Tapping into electricity and water demand growth in foreign markets Malakoff has an existing presence in foreign markets namely Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Bahrain which are expected to show high growth in electricity and water demand. Forecasts from Frost & Sullivan indicate that power demand in Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Bahrain are expected to grow at a 2014-2018 compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%, 7.5% and 4.1% respectively, while water consumption for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.1%. Malakoff currently has relatively small minority stakes in many of its foreign ventures but intends to consolidate and increase market share in the MENA region through its interests in existing projects, such as through brownfield expansions, as well as through new opportunities, including privatisations or acquisitions of existing power generation or water production assets and new greenfield project developments.

We forecast 2015 earnings to grow by 27.2% mainly driven by savings in finance costs, as Malakoff had redeemed the sukuk in May15. The combination of the full year impact from the savings in finance costs and the commissioning of Tanjung Bin Energy in Mar16 would result in 2016 earnings growing further by 25.3%. However, unless Malakoff acquires a new asset in the interim, we expect earnings growth to be relatively flat in 2017 due to the expiry of Segari Energy Ventures’ (SEV) existing PPA in Jun17. Malakoff will receive lower capacity payments under the PPA extension from Jul17 to Jun27.

Recall that in 2013, Malakoff experienced a number of unscheduled outages in its Tanjung Bin power plant, which resulted in substantially lower capacity payments received. In addition, Malakoff had to incur additional costs from remedial works while also incurring write-offs on replaced plant equipment. As for fluctuations in fuel cost, these are covered under the cost pass through mechanism.

For 2015-17, we have assumed a dividend payout of 70%, which we deem conservative based on management’s guidance of at least a 70% payout. We estimate 2015 DPS of 6.1 sen (3.4% net yield) before rising to 7.6 sen (4.3% net yield) in 2016. Given flattish earnings growth expectations in 2017, we expect DPS to remain flat at 7.6 sen (4.3% net yield). Malakoff declared a dividend of 3.0 sen following its 1Q15 results. We forecast a final DPS of 3.1 sen, which implies a 70% payout from 2015 EPS of 8.7 sen. Balance sheet Malakoff has emerged with a healthier balance sheet by paring down its existing debt using the IPO proceeds. We estimate Malakoff’s gross debt/EBITDA ratio to improve from 7.8x in 2014 to 6.7x in 2015. At such gearing levels, we believe the management would take a gradual approach in raising the dividend payout ratio. Given that Malakoff has outlined its plans to grow inorganically, we believe management would likely try to conserve some cash to prepare itself for future M&A exercises. Capex As for capex, we have assumed a 3% capex/sales ratio, which imply 201517 capex plans of around RM200-RM220 per annum mostly comprising of maintenance capex. We do not expect capex to change significantly in the short term, as Malakoff is not embarking on new plant ups at this juncture while Tanjung Bin Energy is already c.90% complete. Affin Hwang Investment Bank Bhd (14389-U) (Formerly known as HwangDBS Investment Bank Bhd) Page 12 of 22 7 July 2015 Valuation Initiating coverage with HOLD rating and TP of RM1.92 We initiate coverage on Malakoff with a HOLD rating and TP of RM1.92 based on DCF. We believe DCF is an appropriate way to value Malakoff, as it captures the company’s steady stream of cash flow. We assume a WACC of 6.3%. Fig 18: Assumptions for WACC Beta Risk free rate Market risk premium Cost of equity Cost of debt (after tax) Debt/Capital Tax WACC 1.0 4.5% 5.5% 10.0% 5.3% 80% 24% 6.3% Source: Affin Hwang, Company data Fig 19: Sensitivity to our target price (RM) to WACC assumptions WACC TP 5.1% 3.44 5.6% 2.82 6.1% 2.31 6.3% 1.92 7.1% 1.54 7.6% 1.24 8.1% 0.98 Source: Affin Hwang, Company data Our TP translates to 9.5x 2016 EV/EBITDA, which is a 19% premium to its domestic peers’ average EV/EBITDA of 8x. We believe the premium stems from Malakoff’s position as the only listed major IPP in Malaysia deriving almost of its revenue and earnings from domestic operations. Malakoff’s 2016 ROE of 8.6% is within its domestic peers’ range of 8-13%. While we like Malakoff for its decent dividend yield of 3-4%, stable cash flows and long term growth plans, we believe most of the positives are already priced in at this juncture. As outlined in the report, we are positive on Malakoff’s plan to grow its generation capacity by 42% to 10,000MW by 2020 and would be in a better financial position to do so following the deleveraging exercise via the IPO proceeds. However, we think Malakoff’s growth path will not be smooth given the regulatory and political hurdles involved in exporting power while new tenders for domestic power plants may likely only come in 2018 at the earliest. Malakoff’s share price has recovered following a rather lacklustre re-listing on 15 May. The stock was re-listed at RM1.80 but subsequently fell to a low of RM1.63 on 20 May before gradually recouping losses to close near its IPO price now.

Such disruptions may arise under various circumstances including breakdown of power generation equipment, failure of transmission systems or unscheduled outages. For example, due to a shortage of natural gas supply in Malaysia, the Tanjung Bin Power Plant experienced a number of unscheduled outages in 2013 that negatively affected Malakoff’s capacity payments beginning in 1Q13. Capacity payments received by Malakoff only normalised when remedial works to the Tanjung Bin Power Plant were completed in 1Q14. Besides the loss of capacity payments during the interim to undertake remedial works, Malakoff had to write off a total of RM109.4m to replace the power plant equipment. Under a worst case scenario, if Malakoff is unable to deliver power for prolonged periods such that there is a material breach of one or more of the PPAs, TNB may terminate the PPA after the lapse of the applicable cure period, which in turn may lead to a default. Challenges in renewing existing PPAs The likelihood of PPA extensions in the future for Malakoff’s gas-fired power plants would be more challenging given the higher generation cost of gas compared to coal. The importation of LNG into Malaysia since 2013 would lead to higher natural gas prices. Under the two-tier pricing mechanism, the price of natural gas has been set at RM15.20 per mmbtu for the first 1,000 mmscfd, and RM41.68 per mmbtu for quantities exceeding 1,000 mmscfd. Besides that, under a more competitive structure, the IPPs including Malakoff would need to submit competitive bids when bidding for extensions of PPAs. If Malakoff’s bids are not competitive enough, then Malakoff would not be able to sell power using the relevant power plant at that juncture. In that case, Malakoff may consider selling its power plant or using the equipment in other power plants in or outside of Malaysia. Deregulation of power sector In the long term, there is a possibility that the Government may introduce a market system, whereby the IPPs make competitive offers to supply electricity in a wholesale market and derive revenue primarily based on the quantities and prices at which their electricity is sold, based on supply and demand in the market. In our view, a market system rewards the most efficient IPPs and in return offers consumers the cheapest form of electricity. However, in a market system, the IPPs would not be able to enjoy a steady stream of capacity payments due to the absence of a fixed tariff rate and cost pass through. Affin Hwang Investment Bank Bhd (14389-U) (Formerly known as HwangDBS Investment Bank Bhd) Page 15 of 22 7 July 2015 Foreign operations may carry greater risks than domestic assets Overseas operations generally carry risks that are different from or greater than those that Malakoff faces in its domestic operations. These risks can include challenges in complying with multiple foreign laws and regulations, less developed legal systems, political and economic instability and lack of familiarity with local markets and competitive conditions. Failure to effectively manage assets which only have minority stakes Where Malakoff only has minority interests, this may limit the group’s ability to manage their foreign operations due to lack of management control. Disagreement with any of Malakoff’s partners may result in the assets potentially experiencing operational issues due to inconsistent business goals. Any serious disputes may also lead to Malakoff’s partners taking action contrary to Malakoff’s instructions or Malakoff’s partners being unwilling to fulfil their obligations. Affin Hwang Investment Bank Bhd (14389-U) (Formerly known as HwangDBS Investment Bank Bhd) Page 16 of 22 7 July 2015 Company background Corporate profile Malakoff Corporation Berhad (Malakoff) is the largest independent power producer (IPP) in Malaysia and South East Asia (SEA) in terms of total generation capacity. Outside of Malaysia, Malakoff also acts as an independent water and power producer (IWPP) in the MENA region and a renewable energy (RE) producer in Australia, with a combined effective 3 water production capacity of about 358,850 m per day and power generation capacity of about 690MW. The bulk of Malakoff’s earnings is derived from its domestic power plants, in which Malakoff usually has the entire or majority equity stake with the exception of the Kapar Power Plant (40% equity stake). For 2014, we estimate that about 75% of Malakoff’s operating profit came from the domestic power plants, while the remaining 25% was from its foreign ventures in which the Macarthur Wind Farm was the primary contributor (74% of total foreign operating profits).

The remaining 49% stake in Malakoff Corporation Berhad was then held by the Employees Provident Fund Board (30%), Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (10%) and foreign financial institutions (9%). MMC had privatised MB at RM10.35 per share, which represented a 5.1% premium to MB’s last traded price of RM9.85 before the stock was suspended from trading prior to the announcement of the privatisation in May 2006. The privatisation exercise valued MB at RM9.3bn. Based on reported FY06 (FYE 31 Aug) earnings of RM442.4m, MB’s privatisation was valued at PE of 21.0x. In FY06, MB had gross borrowings of RM10.2bn, gross cash balance of RM2.2bn and an estimated EBITDA of RM1.2bn, which implies EV/EBITDA privatisation ratio of 14.4x. Affin Hwang Investment Bank Bhd (14389-U) (Formerly known as HwangDBS Investment Bank Bhd) Page 18 of 22 7 July 2015 Changes since privatization One of the major changes in Malakoff since the privatisation is the diversification of generation mix from gas towards coal and renewable energy. In particular, Malakoff’s coal generation mix has risen to 31% in 2014, which is positive given that the Government would likely continue to tender out new coal power plants in the future to reduce reliance on natural gas as a source of fuel. Gas fired power plants would increasingly become less competitive as the Government continues to reduce its gasfuel subsidy by raising the gas tariff for the power sector going forward. The other notable major change in Malakoff is the expansion into international water, power and renewable energy businesses. These investments have been made either via forming or acquiring joint ventures or associate stakes. The most significant acquisition made so far is the 50% stake acquisition in the Macarthur Wind Farm in Jun13, which contributed 74% of Malakoff’s 2014 foreign operating profits.
