A jewel among the gems
Initiate Coverage
Amcorp Properties (AmProp) is a niche property developer that will
likely see its London and Tokyo property projects driving its robust
64% earnings CAGR over FY15-17E. Meanwhile, its recurring income
stream both from its investment properties (Amcorp Trade Centre)
and renewable energy projects (solar and hydro with a combined
16MW) is growing. At a 2016E PE of 4.9x, we believe AmProp is
significantly undervalued and ripe for a re-rating given: 1) its
improved earnings profile; 2) upside to valuations on greater stock
awareness; and 3) dividend upside potential in view of non-core
asset disposal. Initiate coverage with a BUY (upside potential 88%).

Pay day for AmProp’s premium London projects
Since 2009, AmProp has been investing in the London property market
taking advantage of depressed prices and the weak Pound sterling, post
the Global Financial Crisis. From a mere investor, AmProp has ventured
into property development (together with strategic partners) with more
sizeable projects both in London and Tokyo. Currently, the unbilled sales
from its London projects amount to a substantial £386m (or £79m for
AmProp’ portion), set to be recognized over FY17E-FY18E.

Quantum earnings leap – 3-year net profit CAGR of 64%
We believe AmProp’s earnings from FY16E are set for a quantum leap as
contribution from its overseas property projects kick in. We project FY17EFY18E earnings to jump between 31%-49% and achieve a 3-year core
earnings CAGR of 64%. For 1QFY16, AmProp has already recorded a net
profit RM57m, exceeding its full year FY15 earnings. For FY16E, 75% of
group earnings will be derived from London, while contribution from
overseas projects should jump to 88-91% over FY17E-18E.
Initiate coverage with a BUY and TP of RM1.53 (88% upside potential)
We initiate coverage on AmProp with a BUY rating and a SOP derived TP
of RM1.53. On the whole, we like AmProp for its: 1) stand-out 3-year
earnings CAGR of 64%; 2) attractive valuations (4.9x 2016E EPS) and
dividend yields of 4%-8%; 3) growing recurring income base; 4) potential
for disposal of non-core assets; and 5) forward-looking management team.
Backed by a cash/share of RM0.49 and management’s active stock
buyback programme, we believe that AmProp is significantly undervalued.

Key investment highlights
London projects a near term earnings catalyst
Not a new kid on the block
AmProp is no new kid on the block when it comes to property investment
th
and development overseas. 2015 marks the 6 year that AmProp has
been developing properties overseas. In fact, AmProp was also among the
earliest local listed developers to actively participate in the London
property market, taking advantage of depressed property prices and the
weak Pound sterling, post the Global Financial Crisis in 2009.
Successful track record, project ROEs of up to 60%
To-date, AmProp has completed and sold 4 London projects, namely
Eastbourne Terrace, 101 Lexham Gardens, 99 Baker Street and 4B
Merchant Square for a total of £172.2m and netted a gain on disposal of
£33.8m. To-date, the ROEs for the respective projects have ranged from
23%-60%.

Niche high end projects to spur FY16E-17E earnings
We expect the next wave of earnings contribution from London to be
derived from its sizeable Burlington Gate (25% stake) and Campden Hill
(16.7% stake) projects, which have a combined GDV of £864m. The above
projects are located in the prestigious vicinity of Mayfair and Kensington
respectively, and are thus targeted at the higher-end segment of the
London residential property market.

Demand in the high end segment remains robust
The number of units available are limited (42 units for Burlington Gate and
72 units for Campden Hill) and the selling price are steep for both projects.
Average prices range from between >£3,700/sf, which are reflective of the
prestigious nature of these projects. Nevertheless, take up rate has been
encouraging – >80% for Burlington Gate and >30% for Campden Hill.
Strong partnership and location ensures project success
We are of the view that take-up for Campden Hill will improve as
construction progresses, as ground work currently stands at only 10%. On
the whole, we are not overly concerned given its locality and strong
partners which include Hotel Properties Limited (50%), Native Land
(16.6%) and Grosvenor (16.7%).

Exciting London product pipeline
Bankside Quarter is largest overseas project to-date
AmProp’s largest overseas property venture to-date is its Bankside
Quarter project, which is located at Southbank, in the vicinity of the South
End of the Blackfriar’s bridge in Central London, also conveniently located
at the opposite end of the City of London. While take-up of residential
properties within the price range of between £1200-£1600sf has been soft
of late, we are cognisant that this is a long term project and only expected
to be completed in >3 years.
Fig 4: Bankside Quarter

GDV of £1.1bn for Bankside Quarter
Planning permission has been granted for the development of 5 residential
buildings, 4 state-of-the art office buildings and associated retail and
leisure for a total build-up of 898k sf and an expected GDV of £1.1bn.
Based on an estimated net margin of 16% and AmProp’s 30% stake in the
project, we estimate contribution to the tune of RM317m over the
completion period of between 2019- 2022.

Demand for Bankside Quarter should be exciting
Unlike other developments that are of fairly massive scale, Bankside
Quarters is more unique in the sense that it is relatively smaller in scale
and more quaint (489 residential units). Furthermore, we think that
Bankside Quarters could do well because of its proximity to Southbank
which has been recognized as one of central London’s leading cultural
hubs, and also home to famous institutions including the Royal Festival
Hall, Tate Modern and National Theatre.

Targeting Tokyo on same formula
Maiden Tokyo project in upscale Shibuya
Similar to its London strategy, AmProp has entered the Tokyo residential
property market targeting prime locations and with strong partners.
AmProp has entered into a joint venture with Grosvenor Asia Pacific Ltd
and Nan Fung, a renowned Hong Kong property developer, to co-invest in
a portfolio of high-end residential real estate development projects and
commercial value-add projects in Tokyo. This JV is in the midst of making
its third investment since its inception in 2014.
Its maiden foray into Tokyo in 2014 was made with the acquisition of a 4storey apartment block in Shibuya. Forest Nanpeidai, a 52 unit freehold
apartment block with a net rentable area of 62,046 sf is strategically
located within 1 km from Shibuya station, one of the busiest stations on the
Yamanote line and within one of the prime commercial districts of Tokyo.
This prime project is expected to generate a GDV of ¥10.6bn (RM328m)
with sales expected to commence by late 2015.

The other property consists of 62 apartments located in Roppongi, Tokyo,
with a net rentable area of 21,130 sf and an expected GDV of ¥3.6bn
(approximately RM108m). The area is a premium location next to the
prominent Roponggi Hills development, one of Japan’s largest integrated
developments and home to many embassies and a large expatriate
community.

In the midst of acquiring Concieria, Shinjuku
AmProp and its partners are in the midst of acquiring its third property, in
Shinjuku, with a similar objective. We understand that the project will have
a GDV of ¥3.7bn (RM115m). Given the strategic location of these
upcoming projects, and strong demand for such projects, we are of the
view that AmProp’s proven strategy and formula would be successful.

Tier-1 partners reduces risk of newer projects
From UK based partners…
Initially, AmProp invested in London through small exposures but largely
on its own. Most of these projects were for investment purposes with an
initial outlay of between £7m-£50m. However, over time, with improved
confidence, it scaled up to larger redevelopment property projects. In the
more recent years, AmProp sought strategic partners to ensure its project
success. Thus far, this strategy has worked out well, with the delivery of
the £65m Pavilion D, Neo Bankside project. AmProp’s JV partners in
London include UK based Grosvenor and Native Land, and Singapore
listed Hotel Properties Limited.
…to sovereign wealth funds
For its future project at Bankside Quarter, AmProp has an even stronger
and more credible partner like sovereign fund, Temasek Holdings of
Singapore (30% stake). Its other partners for Bankside Quarter include
HPL (50% stake) and Native Land (10%). In Tokyo, AmProp formed a joint
venture in April 2014 with Grosvenor Asia and Nan Fung Group with an
investment outlay of US$50m for a 38.5% stake in the JV. The JV’s
objective is to invest in a portfolio of high-end residential real estate
development projects and commercial value-add projects in Tokyo.

RM1.6bn GDV from local property projects
Local projects centred on Sibu and Shah Alam
AmProp has RM1.6bn worth of property launches locally at Kayangan
Heights in Shah Alam (RM600m GDV) and in Sibu Jaya, Sarawak
(RM1bn). Kayangan Heights is a premium residential enclave and located
in a rapidly expanding enclave of Section U9, Shah Alam in Selangor. The
development is easily accessible via major highways.
Working with the state government in Sibu
In Sibu, AmProp is working in collaboration with the Sarawak state
government (40% stake) to develop a 1,200 acre (650 acres remaining)
township. Strategically located 1 km away from the Sibu Airport, the Sibu
Jaya development is a self-contained mixed development township. We
think the key catalyst for its Sibu development is its strategically located
township which is located along the Pan Borneo Highway. Upgrading
works for the Pan Borneo Highway, which involves single-carriageway into
a dual-carriageway is underway and being carried out at a cost of
RM27bn.

Growing recurring income base
12% of FY15 revenue was from rental income
In FY15, about 12% of revenue was derived from rental income. This was
derived from its investment property, predominantly from its property
located in Petaling Jaya, Amcorp Mall - Amcorp Trade Centre (AMTC) and
4B Merchant Square (which was subsequently disposed in June 2015).
AMTC comprises of a 5-storey retail mall known as Amcorp Mall, two 18storey office towers namely Amcorp Tower and PJ Tower and a 27-storey
tower block, Menara Melawangi, which holds business and residential
serviced suites. In short, AmProp owns approximately 188,600sf of net
lettable area in AMTC (out of a total of 400,000sf). With nearly full
occupancy and average rental rates of RM3.50/sf and coupled with car
parks, we estimate that AmProp’s recurring rental income would be around
RM10m/annum.

Renewable energy complements recurring earnings stream
On a separate but related note, AmProp first ventured into the generation
of renewable energy in 2009 with the completion of its Sg. Perting 4MW
mini-hydro power project in Bentong, Pahang. As at end FY15, AmProp
generated 16.25MW of energy both from hydro (6MW) and solar
(10.25MW) which is fully taken up by Tenaga Nasional (TNB MK, Hold;
RM:12.18) based on a feed-in tariff over a concession period of 21 years
(earliest expiry is in 2034).

Renewable energy capacity to double by 2018
Management is targeting to grow its generation capacity by a further
30MW by 2018, which should help the group generate steady and stable
revenue of approximately RM50-60m/annum from the renewable energy
segment alone.

Strong management team
In our view, AmProp’s overseas success can be attributed to the group’s
founder and major shareholder, Tan Sri Azman Hashim. With a strong
management team in place together with Tan Sri’s guidance and
stewardship, we believe that the group will continue to identify strategic
opportunities and enhance shareholder wealth.

Earnings Outlook
Attractive earnings CAGR of 64% over FY15-18E
We project a strong 3-year forward core earnings CAGR of 64% for
AmProp. The stand-out growth for the group is largely underpinned by the
completion and thus recognition of earnings from its London property
projects namely Campden Hill (£593m GDV) and Burlington Gate (£271m
GDV) over FY17E-FY18E.

…led by a surge in JV contribution
Both the relatively large scale projects are expected to be completed by
November 2016 (Campden Hill) and March 2017 (Burlington Gate),
providing a strong profit contribution over FY17-18E for the group. We
have assumed net margins of between 18%-24% for both these projects
and thus forecast contribution from these JVs to jump to RM93m in FY17E
and RM143m FY18E, from RM6m in FY16E. As take up rates for both
projects are already comfortable at >30% and >80% respectively, this
provides us high earnings visibility over the next 2 financial years.

FY16 earnings to jump 125% yoy
In 1QFY16, AmProp has already recorded a net profit of RM57m,
exceeding the full year 2015 net profit of RM35.5m. This was fueled by a
gain on disposal of RM57m, following the sale of 4B Merchant Square in
London for £59.2m. On the whole, we project AmProp to achieve a core
profit of RM80m (+125% yoy) in FY16E.

1QFY16 net earnings accounts for 71% of our FY16E full year forecast.
For the remainder of the financial year, we expect contribution from Sibu to
drive local property earnings, apart from rental income from its Amcorp
Trade Centre. Other stable earnings generators for AmProp are its
contracting and engineering division. 51% owned Blue Star, which is
involved in solutions for air-conditioning systems has an unbilled orderbook
of RM76m. However, contribution from its renewable energy division
should remain relatively small in FY16E.

Valuation and recommendation
Initiate coverage with a BUY and TP of RM1.53 (88% upside potential)
We initiate coverage on AmProp with a BUY rating and a SOP derived 12month TP of RM1.53. Stock is currently trading at 4.9x 2016E EPS and is
backed by cash/share of RM0.49. On the whole, we like AmProp for its: 1)
stand-out 3-year earnings CAGR of 64%; 2) attractive valuations (4.9x
2016E EPS) and dividend yields of 4%-8%; 3) growing recurring income
base from its renewable energy projects; 4) potential for disposal of noncore assets (hotel operations in Bangi and Vietnam among others); and 5)
strong management team.

Sum-of-parts value of RM1.53
We estimate AmProp’s RNAV for its property segment at RM476m based
on a DCF valuation for its property development projects (based on a
WACC of 8.2% derived from a debt-equity ratio of 35%:65%, a cost of
equity of 10% and a cost of debt of 6%). At a 30% discount (similar to the
discount applied to other local listed developers), we arrive at a RNAV of
RM1bn for its property division. The renewable segment generates a value
of RM100m, leading to our Sum-of-parts value of RM1.1bn.

Active share buyback programme
There is a share buyback programme in place, and management has been
accumulating shares at these levels, which further reinforces our view that
the stock is undervalued. Note that AmProp is backed by a cash per share
of RM0.49 and a book value of RM1.61 as at end FY15. Also, based on a
payout ratio of 25%, dividend yields are appealing at 4%-8% over FY16E18E.

Historically, stock has traded at depressed valuations
Apart from its poor stock liquidity, we think that AmProp has largely
remained out of the radar of investors primarily due to its volatile earnings
in the past. However, with the strong and consistent earnings growth over
FY16-18E, we think that stock is ripe for a re-rating.

Risks
Key downside risk
This would include: 1) a slowdown in property demand both locally and
overseas. Although the latter segment targets the high end property
segment, we think a sharp and prolonged global economic downturn will
have a detrimental effect on sales; 2) a soured relationship with its JV
partners; and 3) poor execution of property projects.
