2QFY15 Revenue increased 6.0%y-y to S$314.0mn, out-paced by 66.5%y-y
growth in EBIT to S$33.3mn and 75.5%y-y growth in PATMI to S$25.3mn.
Fare business made a commendable come-back to profitability at the
operating level to S$5.5mn, following 6 consecutive quarters of losses.
Non-fare business EBIT continued to grow at a moderate 4.1%y-y to
S$27.2mn.
Despite the apparent reversal of fortune, SMRT still does not generate a
positive free cash flow; net gearing to rise considerably in the next quarter.
1.50 Cents dividend declared (2QFY14: 1.00 Cents).
Maintain at "Reduce" rating, with lower TP of $1.370. (Previous S$1.470)
What is the news?
SMRT announced its 2QFY15 financial results on 31 October after market hours,
followed by the briefing for analysts and media. SMRT reported a 75.5%y-y
increase in PATMI to S$25.3 million, on the back of single digit 6.0%y-y Revenue
growth. Improved performance for SMRT was primarily due to Fare business
reversal to profitability.
How do we view this
 Largely in line with our estimates for individual line items. But variances
added up and we missed at the EBIT level. Management deserves credit for
the commendable effort in reining in costs and turning the Rail business to
profitability as well as lowering the loss for the Bus business.
 Derails swift transition to new Rail Financing Framework (RFF). With the
MRT business now registering a profit, it will become increasingly unpalatable
for the electorate on why the Government needs to help a profitable business
transition to the RFF. Such a move would likely raise the ire of the electorate
and we now place a higher probability on the transition not occurring before
the next General Elections.
 Still bleeding cash. Despite registering an accounting profit, SMRT is still
bleeding cash. Operating cash flow was not sufficient to cover Capex
requirements and we think that it will be the same again for 2HFY15.

Investment Actions
We do not see any compelling investment merit in SMRT primarily due to (1) weak
cash flow, (2) higher probability of the transition to the RFF being delayed, (3) and
the S$2 billion in obligations up to 2019 as the RFF negotiations drag on. SMRT is
looking more like a speculative punt on the transition occurring sooner rather
than later. We maintain our "Reduce" rating on SMRT, and lower our TP to
S$1.370 on the basis of our belief that the RFF does not transition by FY16.

Discussion of 2QFY15 results
Key contributing factors: Higher Rail profit and lower Bus losses.
 EBIT improved by S$13.3 million y-y.
 Key contributing factors to the y-y improvement was the higher Rail profit
(increased by S$6.6 million) and the lower Bus operating loss (reduced by S$6.0
million).
Higher Rail profit due to managing Staff costs and Fuel costs well.
 Staff cost being the largest cost component (39.5% of total operating costs)
was controlled well through productivity gains and saw a 1.1%y-y decline.
 Notable cost reduction was seen through the fuel cost component (16.5% of
total operating costs), dropping a significant 14.4%y-y, which came as a positive
surprise.
Lower Bus losses through overall cost controlled.
 Individual cost components for Bus business were mixed, but overall grew a
moderate 4.3%y-y.
 However, the higher Revenue which grew 10%y-y helped to offset the increase
in operating costs thus lowering the operating loss.
Review of our 2QFY15 estimates
 Our 2QFY15 estimates for revenue, other operating income and total expenses
were in line with actual results, but the variances added up and we missed at
the EBIT level.
 Revenue: S$311.2m est., S$314.0m actual.
 Other operating income: S$11.3m est., S$12.2m actual.
 Total operating expenses: S$296.2m est., S$292.9 actual.
 EBIT: S$26.3m est., S$33.3 actual.
Adjustments made to our forecasts. We make adjustments to the cost components
in our forecasts to account for: (1) prevailing change in fuel costs and (2) evidence
of cost savings through productivity gains. (3) We also raised our forward Capex
estimates to account for the increased probability of SMRT having to make good on
at least some of its S$2 billion obligations related to the NSEWL.
SMRT's 6MFY15 Revenue, EBIT and PATMI now stand at 49.5%, 51.2% and 52.1%
respectively of our full year FY15F estimates.

Items discussed at the analyst and media briefing
Taxi business
 Following a survey of potential third party apps, SMRT had chosen to partner
with Hailo as it was deemed the most appealing (favourable user experience)
to both the commuter and taxi hirer.
 SMRT did not see any discernable trend in their call centre bookings and it
"continues to be active".
 However, it noted a trend of more passengers turning to third-party apps.
 In terms of taxi fleet, it is of varying ages and there is a drive to use a common
fleet.
Loss making LRT business
 SMRT will not abandon or divest this business, as it has a licenced obligation to
discharge their duty to provide the service until 2028.
 SMRT has no intention of rescinding the licence agreement and will balance
costs with the prevailing fare regime.
Not provisioning for fines
 Effort will be channelled more productively to focus on improving service
standards.
Rental business
 Healthy contributions from Sports Hub operations, and higher rental renewal
rates from within the network.
Capex guidance
 Management did not quote a specific number for Capex for FY15, but guided
that "it remains unchanged from the previous briefing". (i.e. S$600 million)
 No guidance was given for FY16F, but would be given at the end of FY15.

Accounting profit is not the same as cash flow!
While SMRT did a commendable job with the 75.5%y-y increase in PATMI, but we
still highlight to investors that accounting profit and actual free cash flow are not
the same thing. We argue that despite showing an accounting profit, SMRT is still
not able to generate a positive free cash flow!
Use of S$100 million borrowings.
Closer examination of SMRT's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows reveals that
2QFY15 Cash flow from operating activities of S$129.0 million was not able to cover
the net Capital Expenditure of (S$153.9 million). On a 6M-YTD basis, 6MFY15 Cash
flow from operating activities of S$163.9 million did not cover the net Capital
Expenditure of (S$247.8 million). This implies a 6M-YTD short fall of $83.9 million.
In 1QFY15, SMRT had raised S$100 million debt (through the MTN program and
issued on 11 June 2014), which was in effect, substantially used to top up the
shortfall of Cash flow from operating activities to support its Capex obligations
during 1HFY15.
Where are the dividends coming from?
With the 1.5 Cents dividend declared, SMRT will be paying out about S$22.8 million
cash dividend in the next quarter. We think that investors should be made aware
that their dividends are not from coming from free cash flow generated over the
normal course of business during the period, because there is none to begin with!
Coincidentally, the S$83.9 million short fall for 1HFY15 Capex and the S$22.8 million
dividend add up to just over S$100 million.
Capex going forward for 2HFY15.
6MFY15 Capex stands at close to S$248 million, implying about another S$352
million to go for 2HFY15 (based on Management guidance of S$600 million Capex
for FY15).
Additional S$200 million debt raised and net gearing to rise in next quarter.
We draw investors' attention to the additional S$200 million debt that has been
raised and announced on 16 October 2014. This additional S$200 million debt is not
reflected in 2QFY15 balance sheet as it had occurred after the reporting period of
September. Consequently, SMRT's net gearing would be considerably much higher
in 3QFY15 than the 68% as reported on 2QFY15 balance sheet. Net gearing could be
as high as 92% in the next quarter, by our estimates, assuming all other things being
equal and the S$200 million is used up.
S$300 million debt raised so far in 1HFY15.
We had already been forecasting since our first re-initiation report (29 April 2014)
that SMRT would need to raise S$300 million debt to support their FY15 cash flow.
We think that it had been obvious that structurally, the business model is not
sustainable and requires constant injection of funds to support its voracious Capex
appetite.
High gearing limits inorganic growth.
SMRT lacks the internal funds to make strategic acquisitions, and the highly
leveraged balance sheet is inhibitive to raising new debt for acquisitions.

What do we think of the transition to the new RFF?
The biggest re-rating catalyst for SMRT now is the transition to the new RFF. While
we think that transition to the RFF is a given and likely to be overall positive for
SMRT, but the key uncertainty is: "When will it happen?"
SMRT's cash flow to materially improve
With the responsibility of Capex renewal lifted off SMRT's shoulders under the RFF,
free cash flow for SMRT should materially improve. Hence the transition to the new
RFF should affect SMRT's share price positively.
But still bleeding cash now
However, until the transition to the RFF materialises, SMRT will still be bleeding
cash. SMRT's cash flow from operating activities in FY14 was insufficient to cover its
net Capex, and the situation remains the same for 1HFY15.
We think that SMRT will see a modest reprieve in FY17F onwards, owing to the
change in bus model in Singapore to the Government Contracting Model (GCM).
Under the asset-light GCM, the Government will own all operating assets and be
responsible for asset renewal. Hence SMRT will no longer be required to purchase
new buses.
Timing of implementation remains uncertain
Our position remains unchanged from our Singapore Land Transport Sector report
(21 August 2014), in that "Shareholders of SMRT could be in for a bumpy ride if
negotiations between LTA and SMRT are protracted and such a transition to the RFF
is delayed". We also said that "LTA is not obligated to revise the framework since
SMRT's licence remains valid for 30 years until 2028." This is consistent with what
was discussed during the analyst briefing about SMRT having to continue the loss
making LRT business until 2028.
Now that the Rail business is registering a profit, it will be increasingly difficult to
convince the electorate and general public at large that SMRT needs to transition to
the sustainable RFF model. We think that this has raised the probability of the
transition to not occur before the next General Elections.
In a nutshell: Will there be price upside in the future? Yes, but…
With the weak cash flow of SMRT and hampered ability for inorganic growth, we do
not see any compelling investment merit in it, other than being a speculative punt
that the transition to the new Rail Financing Framework occurs sooner rather than
later.
