Although Land and Houses is bullish on demand, improving margins and
potential divestment gains are key catalysts for 2015. Strong 2014 earnings
from THB1.5bn divestment gain will lead to a special dividend payment. A
rebound in core profit is expected in 2016.

KPLD’s 4Q14/FY14 results were in line with our expectations. We expect
demand from upgraders and first-timers to be sustained for the rest of the

provisioning and softer revenue growth expectations ahead.

Presales, revenue slightly below 2014 guidance. Land and Houses
achieved 2014 presales of THB31.5bn, up 4% YoY but 2% lower than its
guidance of THB32bn. We estimate its realised sales at THB26.7bn, up
16% YoY and 7% above its guidance of THB25bn. Rental income, on
the other hand, should come in at THB2.2bn, up 5% YoY but 9% below
its guidance of THB2.5bn. As residential gross margin for 9M14 was
already 36.2%, the company is confident that full-year gross margin
should come in better than its guidance of 35%.
2015 guidance looks achievable. Land and Houses targets 2015
presales at THB34bn (+8% YoY) and realised residential revenue at
THB28bn (single-digit growth YoY). Rental income should fall to
THB1.5bn (-32% YoY) after the divestment of Terminal 21 shopping
complex to LH Shopping Centers Leasehold REIT (LHSC TB, NR) at
end-2014. The company sets to maintain its gross margin YoY with an
upside surprise amid a reduction in construction material prices. New
launches this year will be worth THB37bn, down from THB41bn in 2014.
However, value of its existing projects remains huge at THB70bn.
Core profit growth may be unexciting for 2014-2015 but is likely to
rebound in 2016. We estimate core profit to grow by a single-digit rate
in 2014-2015, but 2014 bottomline will be boosted by gains on the sale
of asset into LHSC worth THB1.5bn. For 2015, we have yet to include
any upside gain as Land and Houses also plans to sell some
apartments/hotels into another new REIT. A rebound in 2016 core
earnings is likely upon completion of major condominium projects like the
THB7.5bn Sathorn Bangkok, the THB7bn 333 Riverside, and the Room
Sukumvit 69 worth THB2.6bn.

4Q14/FY14 results in line. Keppel Land recorded 4Q14/FY14 core
PATMI of SGD224.3m/SGD532.2m (-11.5%/-4.1% YoY), driven mainly
by divestment gains and development profits. In FY14, it divested its
stakes in Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 3, Equity Plaza and two
data centres in Singapore, as well as its overseas projects – Elita
Garden Vista in Kolkata, India, Al Mada Towers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia,
and BG Junction, its shopping mall in Surabaya, Indonesia, unlocking
SGD1bn net proceeds and lowering its net gearing to 20% (3Q14: 37%)
Highline Residences and The Glades are 30% and 34% sold
respectively. Keppel Land sold about 304 residential units in Singapore
(FY13: ~370 units), of which about half were from Highline Residences.
Outside Singapore, the company sold about 2,100 residential units, of
which about 1,900 units were in China, mostly from Central Park City,
The Botanica, Stamford City and The Springdale. Buyer sentiment
improved after the mortgage rule relaxation and rate cut. In Vietnam, the
group saw steady home sales with about 160 units sold, mainly from The
Estella and Riviera Point. The new foreign property ownership rule which
will take effect from 1 July 2015 is expected to boost the market.
Our view. Trading in Keppel Land shares has been halted, with the
market shrouded by privatisation chatter, which we estimate could cost
Keppel Corp (KEP SP, BUY, TP: SGD11.30) SGD3.4bn-4.2bn, pegged
to FY14 NTA and RNAV, if it goes through. In FY15, we expect Keppel
Land to maintain its focus on growing its operations in Singapore, China,
Indonesia and Vietnam. The mortgage relaxation for second-home
buyers (downpayment down to 30% from 60%) and the lower mortgage
rate of a 5-10% discount to the 5.6% benchmark rate in China should
help sustain demand. At 0.58x P/RNAV, we maintain that the stock’s
valuation is undemanding. Reiterate BUY with a RNAV-derived TP of
SGD4.05.

4Q14 to see books cleaned up. Management warned that 4Q14 is
going to be a ‘bad quarter’ due to higher loan provisioning for CIMB
Niaga’s coal portfolio as well as some provisioning for its domestic
corporate book. The ‘clean-up’ exercise is expected to spill over into
1Q15, although the quantum should not be as significant then. With that,
CIMB said that its loan loss coverage should rise to >80% from 74% as
at 30 Sep 2014. There was no guidance on 2014 credit cost except that
it would be “higher than the usual run rate”, while guidance for 2015
credit cost will only be provided in the 4Q14 results briefing.
It’s all about costs. The key area of focus ahead for CIMB is costs.
Recall that management had previously set a cost-to-income ratio (CIR)
target of 50% by 2015 (from 56% in 2012 while 9M14 CIR was 58%), to
be driven by a combination of strong income growth and improved cost
efficiency. However, given the current environment, management has
dialled back expectations on income growth and hence, the increased
focus on cost control. CIMB said the issues faced currently are partly
structural and partly cyclical, especially for investment banking (IB).
Hence, management is looking at operational reorganisation and some
rationalisation to streamline some businesses and to improve operational
efficiency.
Forecasts. We lower our 2014-2016 net profit projections by 6.5-7.5%
with the two key revisions being: i) revised credit cost assumption of
41bps for 2014F from 37bps. This implies 4Q14 credit cost of 65bps
(annualised) vs 3Q14’s 56bps and 4Q13’s 53bps, and ii) a 7-8.5% cut to
our 2014-2016 non-interest income projections.
Investment case. Following the earnings revisions above, we lower our
GGM-derived TP to MYR5.20 from MYR6.10, and downgrade our call on
the stock to SELL from Neutral. We expect management’s guidance
yesterday to trigger another round of earnings downgrades by
consensus. Even then, the downgrade cycle may not have bottomed out.
We continue to see markets-related income and asset quality as key risk
areas to earnings.

GIC Pte Ltd (GIC) to hold 5.7%. CT Environmental (CTEG) announced
the issuance of 87.1m new shares to GIC last night at HKD7.12, an 8.5%
discount to yesterday’s closing price. The new shares represent 6.04%
of its existing share capital, or 5.7% of its enlarged capital. There is a
1-year lock-up period. The HKD614m net proceeds have been
earmarked for the Guangzhou Lvyou (GZLY) M&A announced last year,
future M&As and working capital. The CNY800m GZLY M&A (inclusive
of debt acquired) is slated for completion before mid-February.
GIC onboard is a positive move. Singapore-based GIC is one of the
world's leading sovereign funds. It focuses on long-term investments.
The fund’s investment in CTEG is indicative of its confidence in the
company’s outlook and ability to deliver lucrative returns.
Zero impact on FY15/FY16 EPS. We estimate that the 6% dilution can
be offset by the HKD40m savings in interest costs, ie ~6% earnings,
implying no change to FY15 EPS. Given that CTEG’s gearing will be
lowered to 65% by end-2015 (pre-issuance: 110%), it can continue to
secure more projects. Thus, we lift FY15/FY16 earnings estimates by 6%
each due to the interest cost savings. We also factored in a small project
(Zengcheng – 40,000 cu m annual capacity) announced on 7 Jan.
Reiterate BUY and HKD9.80 TP. Our DCF-based TP implies 24x
FY15F P/E, higher than its HK-listed waste water treatment peers’
average of 17x. We believe the premium is justified by CTEG's superior
3-year EPS CAGR forecast of 39% vs the sector’s 22%. This, in turn, is
mainly driven by the new earnings drivers (sludge and hazardous waste
treatment through the Guangzhou Lvyou acquisition) via build-ownoperate (BOO) models that enjoy lucrative IRR of 20% vs build-operatetransfer’s (BOT) 10-12%.

stake. Maintain BUY and DCF-based HKD9.80 TP (26% upside). We 0
deem the placement as positive because the leading Singapore-based 0
sovereign fund is focused on long-term investment. The proceeds can
also help lower gearing to 65% by end-2015 (pre-placement: 110%).
FY15 EPS impact is nil as the 6% dilution will largely be offset by

China CNR
What’s new?
China CNR (6199 HK, BUY, TP HKD16.28) and CSR Corp (1766 HK, BUY,
TP HKD14.66) both made announcements yesterday regarding the
latest update on their merger after the market closed. Key points:


Source: Bloomberg
CSR Corp
EGMs on 9 Mar to seek approval for the merger. China CNR and
CSR Corp will both host EGMs on 9 Mar in Beijing to seek approval for
the merger and the draft report for the corporate exercise.
Disclosure of 10M14 financial data. In the draft report for the merger,
China CNR and CSR Corp disclosed 10M14 financial data based on
China GAAP accounting standards. By end-Oct 2014, China CNR and
CSR Corp posted CNY4.46bn and CNY4.56bn in earnings respectively,
ie both 8% higher than their 2013 full-year net profit. China CSR had
higher GPM of 21.3% vs CNR Corp’s 19.4% for the first 10 months of
2014. By end-Oct 2014, China CNR booked a 35% net gearing ratio with
a net operating cash outflow of CNY1.1bn (end-1H14: net cash position)
due mainly to its H-share listing. In the same period, China CSR’s
gearing ratio improved significantly to 1%, (end-3Q14: 26%) and
recorded a net operating cash-inflow of CNY1.9bn.

Winston Cao +852 2103 9414
[email protected]
Moving to the next stage. Amid negative news flow over rumours of
insider trading with regards to the managements of both parties, the
China CNR-CSR Corp merger has moved to next stage, ie the EGMs on
9 Mar. We assume another 1-2 months for the Central Government to
review and approve the merger after approvals are received at the
EGMs, with the entire merger process possibly completed within 1H15.
Operations remain intact, maintain positive on both China CNR and
CSR Corp. We do not see a major operating impact from the merger
process based on both companies’ 10M14 results. We maintain our
positive stance on both China CNR and CSR Corp on the back of the
huge growth potential of the future merged company. This is because of
the: i) monopoly scenario in China market after the merger, and ii)
enhanced competitiveness in terms of the global railway equipment
market post merger. China CNR and CSR Corp are currently trading at
15.6x and 16.7x FY15F P/Es respectively. Our HKD16.28 TP for China
CNR (50% upside) and HKD14.66 TP for CSR Corp (42% upside) are
both set at 21x FY15F P/E, ie 1SD above the past 5-year historical
forward P/Es mean. Major risks to our positive stance on both stocks
are: i) a cancellation or changes to the merger plan, and ii) fatal train
accidents.

Auto sales ended 2014 on a high note with a record month in December.
We remain NEUTRAL on the sector with Berjaya Auto and MBM
Resources as our Top Picks. Total industry volume (TIV) for 2014 grew
1.6% YoY to 666,465 units, missing our earlier forecast of 675,000 units.
The GST implementation and other macroeconomic headwinds will
likely pose challenges for auto sales in 2015.

A record December. According to data from the Malaysian Automotive
Association (MAA), December TIV was an all-time monthly sales record
with 64,660 units registered (+16.9% MoM, +6.9% YoY), bringing 2014
sales to 666,465 units, up 1.6% YoY. As expected, this missed our
earlier sales target of 675,000 units after tepid monthly sales from
August to November. Most marques reported strong MoM sales in
December as distributors pushed hard to meet their 2014 sales targets
with year-end sales promotions. We believe the strong sales numbers
achieved were a function of aggressive discounting and should not be
interpreted as a positive shift in consumer discretionary spending
pattern.
Proton sales stay tepid, Perodua makes headway. Proton was one of
the worst-performing marques in 2014 with sales diving 16.6% YoY.
Proton sales have yet to see a recovery despite the launch of the new
Iriz in September. This was attributed to a slow ramp-up in production as
management was careful not to repeat legacy quality control issues.
Another reason given was the unanticipated market preference for the
1.3 auto variant, for which Proton had low channel inventories. Perodua
had no reported production hiccups of the new Axia and is targeting total
sales of 208,000 units in 2015.
Honda topples Toyota in the passenger segment. Honda is officially
the number one non-national passenger vehicle (PV) marque, toppling
Toyota in 2014 with sales of 77,495 units (+50.4% YoY). Honda sales
were driven by strong product offerings in all PV sub-segments.
However, Toyota remained the top non-national vehicle brand after
adding commercial vehicles with total sales (including Lexus) of 103,636
units, up 12% in 2014 helped by strong sales of the Vios and Corolla
Altis. For the year, non-national PV sales rose 14.5% YoY with nonnational PV market share reaching 47.1% (2013: 41.9%).
NEUTRAL. We expect TIV to slip slightly to 650,000 units in 2015 after
three consecutive years of growth. The implementation of the goods and
services tax (GST), macroeconomic headwinds combined with rising
living costs will likely put pressure on consumer discretionary spending.
Factors supporting sales include a strong product pipeline and a
competitive market place with distributors prepared to discount. We
remain bullish on Berjaya Auto’s prospects, with growth coming from
market share gains.

Beating expectations. Hua Yang’s 3QFY15 core profit of MYR30.9m
(+57.0% YoY, +19.1% QoQ) brought 9MFY15 core profit to MYR80.9m
(+83.5% YoY), above our but within consensus estimates. 9M revenue
grew 38.5% YoY, underpinned by progress billings from its ongoing
township projects such as Taman Pulai Hijauan, Bandar Universiti Seri
Iskandar (BUSI) and high-rise projects such as One South (OS), Metia
Residences (MR) and Sentrio Suites (SS). Gross profit margin continued
to improve to 28.2% in 3QFY15 vs 25.6% in 2QFY15. It also declared an
interim dividend of 5 sen per share this quarter.
Still on track to meet sales target. 3QFY15 total new sales of
MYR149.8m were up 35.8% QoQ (2QFY15: MYR110.3m), despite the
softening market conditions. This brought 9MFY15 sales to MYR342.0m
(1HFY15: MYR192.2m), still on track to meet its MYR500m full-year
target. The new sales growth was attributed to new phases of its existing
projects as well as maiden contributions from Phase 6 of OS and
Citywoods in Johor. Meanwhile, its unbilled sales remained strong at
MYR733.3m (2QFY15: MYR717.9m), with its Klang Valley projects
(namely OS, MR and SS) making up close to 70% of the unbilled sales
amount. Net gearing was stable at 0.5x during the quarter.
Earnings forecasts. We are keeping our earnings forecasts unchanged,
pending a briefing later today.
Maintain BUY. Our TP is maintained at MYR2.28, based on an
unchanged 25% discount to RNAV, pending today’s briefing. We believe
that despite the challenging outlook for the overall property segment,
Hua Yang should continue to fare better than some of its peers, given its
affordable product offerings.

Results met the high-end of our expectations. CapitaCommercial
Trust (CCT) saw a 2.9%/3.9% YoY increase in 4Q14/FY14 DPU to
2.15/8.46 cents, accounting for 26%/103% of our forecasts, without
contributions from CapitaGreen. Balance sheet remained strong, with a
lower gearing of 29.3% (3Q14: 30.2%) and 83% of borrowings were
fixed (3Q14: 80%). Assuming a gearing of 40%, CCT has an ample debt
headroom of SGD1.3bn. Portfolio occupancy rate dropped 2.6ppt to
96.8% (3Q14: 99.4%), mainly due to the recent completion of
CapitaGreen. The monthly average office portfolio gross rent continued
its uptrend, increasing 2.3% QoQ and 5.9% YoY to SGD8.61 psf.
CapitaGreen’s Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) on 18 Dec 2014.
As of 31 Dec 2014, CapitaGreen has secured leases for 486,800 sqf or
69.3% of its net lettable area (NLA), above management’s expectation of
50%. Financial institutions took up 55% of NLA, while Technology, Media
and Telecoms (TMT) companies as well as Energy, Commodities and
Maritime corporations accounted for 12% and 22% respectively. Given
that South Beach Development (expected TOP: 1Q15) has already
achieved a pre-committed rate of 80-90%, we expect CapitaGreen to hit
at least 85% occupancy rate by 1Q15, with average rentals signed at
SGD11-12 psf/month. We also foresee CCT to acquire the remaining
60% stake of CapitaGreen in due course, providing a catalyst to CCT.
Next re-development target: Golden Shoe Car Park? With the
completion of CapitaGreen, CCT has freed up its 10% development cap.
We envision possibilities for CCT to redevelop the old Golden Shoe Car
Park, unlocking value for unit-holders in the longer run. We forecast an
uplift of 7% in rentals for Grade A office space in 2015 (vs 15% in 2014),
and hence we adjust our growth assumptions. Reiterate BUY with a
higher TP of SGD1.95 (from SGD1.80).

2QFY15 results improved, with net profit of SGD87m (+16% YoY,
+12% QoQ) bringing 1HFY15 net profit to SGD164m (-2% YoY), or 48%
of our and consensus full-year net profit estimates.
Stellar performance from derivatives. Average daily value (ADV) for
securities market improved 8% QoQ and 4% YoY to SGD1.04bn, while
turnover velocity was higher at 36% vs 32% in 1QFY15 (2QFY14: 35%).
The derivatives market, however, was the star performer for the quarter
with 2QFY15 derivatives volume rising to 40m contracts vs 28.8m in
1QFY15 and 26.3m in 2QFY14. The rise was mainly driven by higher
China A50 Index futures and iron ore product volumes. Overall, 2QFY15
revenue climbed 19% YoY and 16% QoQ on the back of stronger
contribution from derivatives market (+46% YoY, +42% QoQ). While
operating leverage for exchanges tends to be high, SGX’s 2QFY15
operating profit growth was only in line with topline growth due to higher
staff costs (higher headcount and salary adjustments) as well as higher
processing and royalties (due to a rise in derivatives volumes).
Management revised the opex guidance for FY15 to SGD360-370m from
SGD330m-340m.
Dividend. As expected, SGX declared an interim DPS of 4 cents
(2QFY14: 4 cents). We are forecasting FY15 total DPS of 28 cents
(FY14: 28 cents), based on a net payout ratio of 90% (FY14: 93%).
Forecasts. We tweak our FY15-16 net profit forecasts higher by 2-3%
mainly due to an upward revision in our FY15/FY16 average daily
derivative
volume
assumptions
to
600,000/660,000
from
460,000/504,000 respectively.
Valuation and recommendation. Our TP is revised up to SGD7.65
from SGD7.40, based on an unchanged target 2015 P/E of 22.5x (a 10%
discount to the stock’s 5-year average P/E to reflect the volatile
securities market conditions). Maintain NEUTRAL.

FY14 results in line. Bangkok Bank posted net profit of THB8.76bn (8% QoQ) for 4Q14 and THB36.33bn (+1% YoY) for FY14, which were in
line with consensus and our forecasts.
4Q14 pre-impairment profit fell 23%. This was on: i) a 2% QoQ drop in
net interest income (NII) as net interest margin (NIM) fell 12bps QoQ, ii)
an 18% QoQ decline in non-II mainly on lower investment gains (-75%
QoQ), and iii) a 13% QoQ rise in opex for distribution channel expansion
and seasonal marketing and promotions. NIM was compressed by the
strong 7% QoQ growth in deposits, particularly high-rate fixed deposits.
Loans grew 2% QoQ in 4Q14. This enabled Bangkok Bank to end 2014
with a 2% YoY increase in loan assets. For 9M14, loans contracted by
an annualised 0.6% due to loan repayments by large corporates.
Asset quality remained benign in 4Q14. Gross non-performing loans
(NPLs) were down 2% QoQ to THB45.07bn while gross NPL ratio eased
to 2.53% (Sep 2014: 2.65%). Impairment charges fell 72% QoQ
following the sharp 42% QoQ rise in 3Q14. This lowered annualised
credit cost to 21bps in 4Q14 (3Q14: 76bps). For FY14, credit cost was
49bps (FY13: 51bps). Loan loss coverage was a high 204%.
Earnings forecasts lowered. We have lowered our projected net profit
by 3% for FY15 and 6% for FY16 on lower estimates for loans growth,
NIMs and non-II. We have also factored in higher provisions. We now
expect earnings growth of 9%/8% for FY15-16 vs 10%/13% previously.
Maintain BUY. The cuts in our earnings forecasts led to a reduction in
our GGM-based TP to THB212.20 (from THB220.00). Still, we retain our
BUY rating as valuations are undemanding at 1x FY15F P/BV (historical
mean: 1.2x) against resilient asset quality, strong balance sheet and
decent earnings growth.

Robinson is the largest departmental store operator in Thailand, with .
0
the widest coverage nationwide. We downgrade Robinson to SELL with 0
a TP of THB41.60 (9.2% downside) on expectation of a slower recovery 0
in discretionary spending in the upcountry region. The increase in
lifestyle centers will help to improve margins through rental income, but
we think that significant growth in net profit would only come in FY17F
when the new stores mature. Coverage is transferred to the authors.


Expansion plans on track. Robinson intends to open 4-5 new
departmental stores in Thailand each year till FY18F. Most of these
would be in the standalone lifestyle center format in upcountry. This will
help to boost rental income (investment income) from tenants. We
expect investment income to grow at approximately 26.6% CAGR from
FY14F-FY18F. Nonetheless, this will only make up approximately 9% of
total revenue in FY18F, up from 5% in FY14F. Robinson opened two
departmental stores in Vietnam in FY14F and it targets to open about
two stores per year over the next five years.
Consumption spending still weak in upcountry. Of the 37 Robinson
departmental stores, 26 are located in the upcountry. High household
debt and falling agricultural prices are likely to weigh down on consumer
spending, especially in the upcountry region.
Lacklustre 4Q14F, slow recovery in FY15F. Same-store sales growth
(SSSG) would likely end in the red for FY14F, as SSSG in October and
November remained negative according to management. We think
SSSG could turn around to 5% in FY15F, coming off from a lower base
in FY14F, as well as driven by last year’s pent-up demand, coming
mainly from Bangkok. Competition from fast fashion retailers is
intensifying in major malls. We note that Robinson would shift its product
focus to footwear and home products in the affected stores.
Valuation remains rich, downgrade to SELL. We downgrade
Robinson to SELL (from Neutral), with a TP of THB41.60 (from
THB62.00), pegged to a 19.3x FY15F P/E, based on -1x SD due to
lower-than-expected growth. We expect EPS to grow at an 8.8% CAGR
over FY14F-FY16F. While we like Robinson’s brand positioning to
leverage on the long-term growth of Thailand’s upcountry, we think that
recovery in the upcountry and discretionary products is likely to be slow
in the near-term.
