AFL Samsung Electronics (005930.KS, OW – W1,360,000), South Korea (JJ Park)
Watch GS6 and System LSI: Expect the stock to break-through its historical high
Despite macro headwinds, all the divisions (except CE) fared better than our
expectations, and notably smartphone performance surprised on the upside on the
back of ASP hike thanks to increased sales of high-end products and efficient expense
management. SEC boosted its year-end dividend to W19,500/share.
China Everbright International (0257.HK, OW – HK$11.46), China (Elaine Wu)
Water M&A is the key catalyst in 2015
China Everbright Int'l is likely looking for water acquisition targets, in our view, after its
water subsidiary announced a share placement last week. We see potential 10%
upside to CEI’s earnings if Everbright Water geared up its balance sheet for M&A.
Water acquisitions will likely be the key catalyst for CEI in 2015 as we believe awards
of new waste-to-energy projects will slow this year after a record year in 2014.
Indonesia 101 (Aditya Srinath, CFA)
Equity Investors' Guide to ASEAN's Largest Economy
Herein, we present a detailed guide for equity investors interested in Indonesia. High
equity returns: 16% 10-year USD CAGR (20% Rp). High economic growth: 6%oya 10
year average GDP growth.
init Taiwan Paiho Limited (9938.TW, OW – NT$49.70),Asia Pacific (Andre Chang,
CFA)
Hidden champion of sports-leisure growth; initiate at OW with PT of NT$65
We initiate coverage on Taiwan Paiho (Paiho) with an OW rating and a Dec-15 PT of
NT$65, implying 31% potential upside. Paiho is the largest touch-fastener ODM
manufacturer in the world, and also a leading producer of shoelaces/webbings,
supplying all the major sportswear brands and their OEM/ODM producers. Trading at
13x 2015E P/E with a 20% EPS CAGR in 2014-16E, and a 3-4% dividend yield, the
stock looks undervalued vs. other Taiwan sportswear stocks (17x-23x P/E). Paiho is
also a beneficiary of US dollar strength, lower petrochemical prices, and the potential of
Vietnam entering TPP.
TSC Auto ID Technology (3611.TW, OW – NT$257.50), Taiwan (William Chen)
Geared for market share gain; raise PT to NT$370
TSC is the No.6 barcode printer maker globally, competing with Zebra and Sato. We
expect the upcoming market reshuffle to benefit Taiwan plays (as we have seen
before). We expect TSC to deliver 20% Y/Y earnings growth in 2015-16 on market
share gain and better product mix. TSC is now trading at 14x 1-year forward PER, with
ROE of 33-34% and dividend yield of 4%+.

AM perspective
Adrian Mowat, Chief Equity Strategist
Philippines: Bumper 4Q14 GDP
Easing inflation and low domestic interest rates
Source: BSP and Philippine Statistics Agency.
The Philippines economy grew at a solid
6.9%oya (consensus 6.0%oya) in 4Q14. The
tailwind from declining oil prices and easing
inflation provide substantial room for monetary
easing. Our economists forecast a 25bps RRP
and SDA rate cut in 2H15. For more, please see
Philippines: Bumper 4Q14 GDP sets tone for
positive 2015 – oil provides material policy flex,
penciling in 2H15 cut, Ong, et. al, 29 January
2015.
▼Pidilite Industries (PIDI.NS, N – Rs575.90), India (Gunjan Prithyani)
Growth remains slow, and crude fall benefit priced in; downgrade to Neutral
PIDI’s 3Q EPS of Rs2.4 was below estimates primarily due to lower-than-expected
revenues. Volume growth of 8% Y/Y was the lowest in recent history, pointing to a
sluggish demand environment. Comments from other building product companies
corroborate this view. Margin tailwinds exist, though, given the sharp fall in crude price.
However, we think the extent of the benefit from this will be lower than what the market
seems to be pricing in. We factor in the benefit of lower RM prices and raise our
earnings estimates by 14-16% for FY16/17. While we see PIDI as a high-quality
company with monopolistic market share in its consumer business, valuations look
demanding.Downgrade to Neutral with a new Mar-16 PT of Rs550.

J.P Morgan’s Asia Analyst Focus List (AFL) is a selection of high-conviction stocks collaboratively chosen by each Country and Sector research team across
Asia-Pacific. The AFL includes Overweight- and Underweight-rated stocks, Overweight having superior outperformance prospects in a team’s universe over
the horizon of rating (6-12 months), and Underweight stocks having among the poorer relative performance prospects over the horizon of rating (6-12 months).
The aim is to have one Overweight and one Underweight idea from each Research team in the AFL. Analysts can add or delete recommendations at any time
and changes will be published, with the analyst’s rationale, on J.P. Morgan Markets. Please check J.P. Morgan Markets https://www.jpmorganmarkets.com for
the most up-to- date AFL at any time, or contact your J.P. Morgan representative.

Samsung Electronics
Watch GS6 and System LSI: Expect the stock to
break-through its historical high
Despite macro headwinds, all the divisions (except CE) fared better than our
expectations, and notably smartphone performance surprised on the upside on
the back of ASP hike thanks to increased sales of high-end products and
efficient expense management. SEC boosted its year-end dividend to
W19,500/share which implies its shareholder return reaches to W5.4 trillion
including share buyback and interim dividend.
 GS6 and System LSI are two key points to watch: We expect GS6 sellthrough to be much better than market expectations given lack of new
products from other handset vendors and full model changes at H/W in the
last two years. In addition, SEC will significantly increase its internal AP
and modem solutions, which we think will help a turnaround in System LSI
business. Of note, System LSI will be the single largest OP improvement in
2015. Refer to Figure 7 & 8 on page 14 for details.
 Sensitivity analysis to GS6 shipments: Our base case (50 million units)
suggests that GS6 will account for 55% of IM OP and 24% of total OP in
2015. If SEC could ship 60 million units, we estimate this would add W3
trillion OP and generate additional profit in relevant components. In this
scenario, we think IM division could see Y/Y earnings growth vis-à-vis our
current forecast of a 16% decline in IM division OP in 2015.
 Ongoing market share gain in memory operation: With Line 17 ramps
along with tech migration, we expect SEC to meaningfully outgrow overall
DRAM industry again. As a first mover in 3D NAND (V-NAND), SEC
should gain share in NAND market as well. Hence, memory division should
continue to generate sustainable earnings and support earnings growth even
in worst case scenario for smartphone business.

China Everbright International
0257.HK, 257 HK
Price: HK$11.46
Price Target: HK$13.00
China Everbright Int'l is likely looking for water acquisition targets, in our
view, after its water subsidiary announced a share placement last week.
We see potential 10% upside to CEI’s earnings if Everbright Water geared
up its balance sheet for M&A. Water acquisitions will likely be the key
catalyst for CEI in 2015 as we believe awards of new waste-to-energy
projects will slow this year after a record year in 2014. Maintain OW
ahead of results announcement and potential acquisitions.
 Water M&A likely after CEW’s placement: China Everbright Water
(CEWL SP, not covered) has said it plans to raise US$85MM from
issuing 4.8% of new shares in a private placement at SGD0.94 per share.
After the placement, CEW’s net gearing will decline to 8% from 20%
and CEI’s shareholding in CEW will decline to 74% from 78%, on our
estimates. The strong balance sheet will allow CEW to add >1.5MM
tons (or 40%) of new sewage capacity, on our estimates, resulting in
potential 10% EPS upside for CEI. See our scenario analysis on page 4.
 2015 will likely be a slower WTE project win year: Typically, local
governments do not award many new waste-to-energy projects in the
last year of a Five Year Plan because it’s too late for them to meet the
year-end target. In 2010, for example, CEI only won one WTE project.
We believe 2015 will be a similar case. (YTD, CEI has won a 600-ton
WTE project in Sichuan). We assume CEI will add ~3,000 tons of new
WTE capacity this year, vs a record ~12,000 tons in 2014.

 FY14 results to be inline: We expect CEI to report inline results on 31
March. Consensus is estimating 2014 EPS of 41 HK cents, which implies
a 25% yoy growth. At the results announcement, we will look for
management’s guidance on capex and capacity growth.
 Maintain OW. CEI is transforming into a diverse environmental play
with a listed subsidiary in water operations. Future spinoffs of other
assets may be possible when other segments scale up, in our view.

Price: NT$49.70
Hidden champion of sports-leisure growth; initiate at
OW with PT of NT$65
Price Target: NT$65.00
We initiate coverage on Taiwan Paiho (Paiho) with an OW rating and a Dec15 PT of NT$65, implying 31% potential upside. Paiho is the largest touchfastener ODM manufacturer in the world, and also a leading producer of
shoelaces/webbings, supplying all the major sportswear brands and their
OEM/ODM producers. Trading at 13x 2015E P/E with a 20% EPS CAGR in
2014-16E, and a 3-4% dividend yield, the stock looks undervalued vs. other
Taiwan sportswear stocks (17x-23x P/E). Paiho is also a beneficiary of US dollar
strength, lower petrochemical prices, and the potential of Vietnam entering
TPP. The stock has risen over 20% in a month (vs. Taiex +3%) on management’s
positive guidance and sportswear peers’ re-rating, so there is risk of a pullback
during the seasonally weak 1Q15; we recommend buying on any weakness.
 Discounted valuation vs peers should be reversed. Our Dec-15 PT of NT$65
is based on 17x 2015E P/E, slightly above the high end of its five-year trading
range but at the low end of other major Taiwan sportswear stocks’ range.
Paiho’s growth is in line with many peers’, while profitability (gross margin of
34%-35% and OP margin of 17%-19% in 2014-16E) is the highest. We believe
its valuation discount to peers is due to its smaller market cap and failure in new
businesses. But as bigger peers’ valuations have become stretched and Paiho
has re-focused on its core businesses, we believe Paiho will re-rate.
 Stable growth from global sportswear demand with upside from new
products. We forecast Paiho’s sales to grow by 15%/14% in 2015/2016, due to
the solid 2015 sales outlook of major global sportswear brands such as Nike
(+11%), Addidas (+6%), and UnderArmour (+28%). Yet Paiho may surprise
the market if its new products – one-piece and four-way stretchable materials
for shoes – outpace our forecast of only 3% of total sales in 2015E.

 Sustainable, strong profitability in a seemingly mature sector. Even though
many people view the sports accessory market as mature and competitive, Paiho
has continued to invest 2.5% of its revenue in R&D p.a. to develop new
products with better profitability (e.g. molded hooks instead of touch-fasteners).
It has also cut back on 3C sales with less than a 20% gross margin so it can
refocus on the more profitable core products. We forecast its gross margin to
expand from 30.8% in 2013 to 33.7%/34.3%/35.2% in 2014/15/16.

Previous: NT$340.00
TSC is the No.6 barcode printer maker globally, competing with Zebra and
Sato. We expect the upcoming market reshuffle to benefit Taiwan plays (as
we have seen before). We expect TSC to deliver 20% Y/Y earnings growth in
2015-16 on market share gain and better product mix. TSC is now trading at
14x 1-year forward PER, with ROE of 33-34% and dividend yield of 4%+.
Our new PT of NT$370 implies 40% potential upside.
 Huge market reshuffle: Honeywell Scanning & Mobility (HSM) will close
its acquisition of Datamax-O'Neil this quarter. After the acquisition,
Honeywell will become second largest player in the global barcode printer
market with around 11% market share, next only to Zebra (32%) (Fig 2).
There was another big industry structure change in 2014 after Zebra’s
acquisition of Motorola Solutions. Competition between Zebra and
Honeywell could be worth watching, as they are now the top two in the
ADC (automated data capture) market with comprehensive data input and
output solutions (Table 2). We expect SATO and Toshiba TEC to face more
pressure than smaller peers, given highly overlapping markets and lack of
end-to-end products.
 We see upside to Taiwanese players: Barcode printing has been a highly
fragmented market. It is easier for late-comers to penetrate into the existing
supply chain if there is any change. Therefore, HMS’s two acquisitions are
likely to add 10% addressable market to TSC/Godex. Notably, TSC market
share grew to ~5% in 2014 from ~3% in 2011, when Sato acquired Taiwanbased Argox to expand its mid- to low-end product lines. In addition, an
increasing outsourcing portion from tier one plays such as Toshiba TEC
could also add upside.

 Revising up earnings forecast and PT to NT$370: We revised up 2015/16
earnings by 4/8% respectively to factor in market share gain and better
operating leverage. We expect TSC to report strong 4Q14 results with robust
top-line momentum (up 28% Y/Y and beat JPMe by 13%) and decent
margin (partially thanks to favorable forex trend). We believe 1Q15 sales
will retain double digit Y/Y growth thanks to TSC’s push into new markets
(SE Asia, SE China, India etc).

Growth remains slow, and crude fall benefit priced in;
downgrade to Neutral
Price: Rs575.90
PIDI.NS, PIDI IN
▲ Price Target: Rs550.00
Previous: Rs440.00
PIDI’s 3Q EPS of Rs2.4 (+28% Y/Y) was below estimates primarily due to lowerthan-expected revenues. Volume growth of 8% Y/Y in 3Q was the lowest in
recent history, pointing to a sluggish demand environment. Comments from other
building product companies corroborate this view. Margin tailwinds exist, though,
given the sharp fall in crude price. However, we think the extent of the benefit
from this will be lower than what the market seems to be pricing in (the stock has
risen 60% in the past six months vs. the Sensex’s +14%). We factor in the benefit
of lower RM prices and raise our earnings estimates by 14-16% for FY16/17.
While we see PIDI as a high-quality company with monopolistic market share in
its consumer business, valuations at 38x FY16E P/E look demanding but the
scope for earnings disappointment looks limited. Downgrade to Neutral with a
new Mar-16 PT of Rs550.
 Demand recovery likely to take some time: PIDI’s volume growth
disappointed at 8% Y/Y in the Dec-Q (revenue growth was 12% Y/Y). This is
not at odds with the experience of other building product companies, which
have also pointed to weak demand trends in 3Q and a cautious outlook in the
near term. We think an improved macro sentiment is yet to translate into
increased spending and a demand recovery. We model revenue growth of 1517% in FY16/17 (9M FY15: 15%) factoring in some improvement in consumer
demand and pick-up in industrial activity from 2H FY16 onwards. Any
meaningful price cuts on the back of RM deflation, however, pose a risk to our
revenue growth forecasts.
 Margin expansion to follow with a lag: Over 50% of PIDI’s RMs are crude
oil derivatives, but price declines in these RMs (due to the fall in crude prices)
come with a lag and do not mirror the crude oil price fall given their respective
demand-supply dynamics. PIDI’s RM basket has seen a much lower correction
than has crude. Its key RM VAM has fallen by 25% from the peak last year and
the price outlook is stable. We expect the benefit of favorable input costs to flow
through in FY16/17 (350-400bp GM expansion). The 3Q gross margin fell 70bp
Y/Y on high-cost VAM inventory which will last until February.

Not out of the woods yet: Maintain UW

Previous: Rs46.00
Adani Power reported a December quarter net loss of Rs4.3bn in its maiden
quarter of operations at rated capacity of 9.24GW, at a reasonably high PLF of
79%. This was after the company accounted for Rs5.7bn of compensatory tariffs
(CT) across its projects during the quarter. Aggregate CT of Rs36.5bn has been
booked in the P&L so far and is a growing receivable in the balance sheet with no
cash receipt. CT is ~70% of company's current net worth. In our calculations,
FY16 operating cash flow will prove insufficient to cover interest and debt
repayment liability unless fresh CT bookings are backed by cash receipts, a partial
liquidation of past CT happens and/or the debt repayment schedule is pushed
back. Hearings on the CT matter in APTEL for the Mundra project are currently
suspended, creating uncertainty around the timeline for resolution of the legal
hurdle. The stock has underperformed Sensex by 23% over the last six months.
We maintain our UW with a Mar-16 PT of Rs40 (Rs46 earlier).
 Talking numbers. We arrive at EBITDA of Rs67.5bn in FY16, +12% YoY
(including CT), after assuming a 10% YoY increase in net generation and 11%
lower fuel cost/kWh and factoring in a sale of the transmission business to the
parent by end-FY15. After factoring in interest cost of Rs49bn (down 9% YoY)
and assuming EBITDA equals cash, the company would be left with ~Rs19bn
to meet debt repayment liabilities on gross debt of ~Rs440bn (as of Mar-15).
This is insufficient if one assumes a debt repayment tenure of 12 years
(implying Rs37bn in repayments/year). We estimate an out-of-consensus net
loss of Rs8.2bn in FY16 (consensus +Rs0.4bn), an improvement over FY15
(loss estimate of Rs20.2bn), but a reduction in the interest burden is a precondition to generating meaningful positive RoE.
 Breakdown of aggregate CT of Rs36.5bn. (a) Rs25bn pertaining to Mundra,
the Supreme Court is to judge whether the matter can be pursued under the
“change of law” and force majeure clauses; meanwhile, hearings in APTEL are
suspended; (b) Rs5.4bn pertaining to two units of Tiroda (1320MW) affected by
the non-availability of coal from the Lohara block; matter against Maharashtra
SEB in APTEL; and (c) Rs4.5bn CT due to a domestic coal shortage pursuant to
MERC/RERC orders.
 Upside risks. Even lower landed coal cost, INR appreciation, lower interest cost
sensitivities to risks discussed inside the report.

Price: NT$18.20
Confirmation of another capacity expansion plan;
Reiterate UW
Price Target: NT$13.0
As we previewed on January 23, 2015, AUO rendered solid 4Q14 GP/OP
capturing consensus estimates, thanks to the strong TV panel pricing trend
and FX impact. Nevertheless, excluding the F/X factor, gross profit would
have been down Q/Q due to weak NB/tablet panel prices and lower UTR.
NP was also weaker than expected (first negative surprise since 1Q14) due
to higher tax expense associated with subsidiary investments. 1Q15
guidance appears mixed. Contrary to LGD, AUO raised 2015/2016 capex
meaningfully (more than doubled) and plans to expand capacity at its Gen
8 fabs. We believe OPM already peaked out in 4Q14; revenue/EBITDA
will decline in 2015. Reiterate UW.
 1Q15 guidance is mixed: AUO guided for large panel ASP to stay flat
due to product mix but expects shipment to decline by 5-15% Q/Q, this
decline appears larger than expected. On the other hand, S&M panel
shipment will decline by 5-10% Q/Q, which is slightly better than
expected. Although the market is generally positive about the “balanced”
supply/demand in 2015, the launch of three Gen 8 fabs from China in
2Q15 will make it difficult to raise panel prices like 2014, in our view.
 New capacity at Gen 8: Following the Gen 6 expansion, AUO
announced to raise Gen 8 capacity by 25K-30K/month at Gen 8 fabs in
Houli, Taiwan. Full-ramp is scheduled to be completed by 2Q16. AUO’s
total capacity will grow by 5% by 2016. Annual capex will rise
substantially from NT$17bn in 2014 to NT$40bn in 2015 and 2016 each.
The capacity expansion might add NT$6-7bn depreciation expense
annually starting from 2016, by our calculations.
 Maintain UW: We lower our earnings estimates to reflect the slightly
weaker than expected 1Q15 shipment guidance, and our revised forecasts
still point to a Y/Y decline in revenue/EBITDA. OPM peaked in 4Q14, by
our estimate. We maintain our Dec-15 price target at NT$13, based on
0.6x 2015E P/BV (one standard deviation below mid-cycle P/B). We
recommend investors sell into strength ahead of 2Q15.

Another quarter of sterling tenant sales growth
▲ Price Target: S$1.80
Previous: S$1.75
CRCT’s FY14 results in-line, driven by Grand Canyon. Tenant sales
surpassed national average, on top of strong rent reversion. Aside from
continued rental growth and acquisitions, the stock is proxy to RMB
appreciation. Maintain OW with a higher PT (+3%) as we roll-over
estimates.
 Results in-line. CapitaRetail China Trust posted a 12.7% YoY rise
(+5.5% QoQ) in 4Q14 DPU to 2.48 S cts, bringing full-year DPU to
9.82 S cts (+8.9% YoY) and within our estimated 10.18 S cts. Full-year
contribution from CapitaMall Grand Canyon underpinned FY14 NPI
increase of 26% to RMB 643m, with a lower +9% on same-store basis.
 Tenant sales rose across all trade sectors, with 4Q14 YoY growth of
21% exceeding the preceding quarter’s +16%, which translates to fullyear increase of 16% (vs. +9% in FY13). Rent reversion for the quarter
continued to be strong at +20.6%, led by CapitaMall Wangjing
(+35.3%) and CapitaMall Saihan (+16.7%).
 Occupancy fell 1.7%pts QoQ to 95.9%, due to tenant mixing at
CapitaMall Wuhu (-13.5%pts to 73.9%) and closure of Zhongshan
Avenue leading to poorer accessibility to CapitaMall Minzhongleyuan (13.0%pts to 73.9%). We see further downside pressures at
Minzhongleyuan, but it comprises only 5% of our full-year projections.
 Ample debt headroom of RMB 1.1b for acquisitions based on our
estimates, assuming optimal gearing of 35% (from current 28.5%).
Aside from a rising pool of third-party vendors who have generally
lowered their asking prices, we expect CRCT to tap its sponsor pipeline.
 Valuation, key risks. CRCT is one of our top REIT picks, given its
strong DPU growth and P/B of 1.06x (vs. 1.32x mean). Key risks:
weakness in China economy. DPU estimates -3% on larger share base.

Price Target: Rs3,600.00
Dr Reddy’s (DRRD) reported results well ahead of our and Street expectations
primarily driven by growth in the US despite the high base of last year and
currency impact on Russia/CIS growth. Outlook on Russia and the observations in
the API facility were the key focus areas on the call. On the proprietary filing,
DRRD expects two filings in the next few months. We remain OW with a Mar-16
PT of Rs3600 with upside from monetization of its R&D investment in
proprietary filing over the next two years.
 3QFY15 results overview: 3QFY15 revenue at Rs38.4bn (+9% YoY) was
higher than consensus at Rs36.3bn, with positive growth in the US (+4% YoY
and 17% QoQ aided by new launches/market share momentum) offsetting the
decline in Russia/CIS (-10% YoY). EBITDA for the quarter at Rs9.8bn (25.5%
margin) was well ahead of consensus due to favorable impact of EM currency
movement on SG&A. PAT at Rs5.7bn was impacted by a higher tax rate but
aided by FX gain (Rs604Mn).
 US growth better than expected but focus on observations in API facility.
While we had expected US revenue to recover QoQ (highest ever sales at
$271Mn vs. $235Mn in 2Q), the 17% QoQ growth was driven by strong launch
performance and forward buying during the holiday season. Shipments of the
recently acquired Halbitrol ($60Mn revenue pa) started recently and should
contribute to revenue going forward. However, the delay in approvals due to
Form 483s at the Srikakulam API facility could be a near-term overhang given
key filings (Nexium, Diovan) from the facility. DRRD has provided a
comprehensive response on the observations to the agency in December and
will be providing updates. The company is also working on an alternate plan
(i.e., site switch, which took some time).
 Russia – Uncertainty due to currency. Management highlighted 27% growth
in local currency in Russia primarily driven by volumes aided by forward
buying given economic uncertainty. While DRRD did point to price
adjustments on some products, we could see these increases being reflected in
the current quarter (depending on currency movement). Currently, hedges are
RUB945Mn (@1.50 for FY15). We believe sustainability of underlying volume
growth would be key, given the volatile currency and expect flat growth in
Russia in FY15 (vs. -1% for 9MFY15). Management reiterated its focus on
emerging markets.

Hyundai Steel Company
004020.KS, 004020 KS
Price: W65,300
4Q14 results - Beat, margins continue to expand on
merger benefits, construction sector picking up
▲ Price Target: W85,000
Previous: W80,000
Hyundai Steel’s (HSC) 4Q14 results beat our and Street estimates, ending FY14
with a strong sequential lift to its highest OP margins since 2008.At this point of
the cycle, we view HSC as strategically well positioned, with zero exposure to
falling raw material costs and captive domestic customers. With capex peaking,
we expect to see positive FCF and meaningful deleveraging. We reiterate our OW
rating.
 Strong 4Q14 OP, underlying NP impressive. Hyundai Steel reported 4Q14
OP of W486B, beating our and Street estimates (JPMe W417B). ASP remained
stable (-1% q/q) while shipments seasonally rose by 8% q/q. Mix improvement
to flat steel, lower RM costs and merger integration benefits led to an
unexpected surge in OPM to 11.4% in 4Q14 (9.4% in 3Q14, 6.9% in 4Q13),
posting three consecutive quarters of margin improvement. An FX loss of
W107B (parent basis) and still high interest expense dragged the bottom line
NP to W217B, still above Street expectations (W207B). Excluding the FX loss,
we estimate an impressive underlying NP of W293B. Positive FCF enabled net
gearing to decline further to 82% from 85% in 3Q14 (parent level).
 2015 guidance: +2% volume, improving product mix. HSC guided FY15
shipment target of 19.7MT (+1.5%), with flat steel at 12.8MT (+1.2%) and long
steel 6.9MT (+1.8%). At the briefing, management was upbeat on construction
demand (+3.4%) based on increased orders and government stimulus, and
expects its long steel sales guidance to be met mostly from domestic sales. Auto
demand is expected to rise 1.8% while shipbuilding should be flat. Meanwhile,
the company plans to shut down two of its plants in Pohang and Incheon, due to
lack of feasibility. HSC plans to compensate the lost capacity (340KT) by
increasing production in other plants. Meanwhile, the company is spending a
total of W974B to add 1mt specialty steel capacity (bar 600kt, wire rod 400kt)
and 500kt CRC capacity, targeting for commercial production in 2016. We
view this volume growth as value-added product backed by captive demand.
Given the underlying beat, we raise EPS forecasts by 15%/16% for 2015/16.
 Maintain OW, lift Dec-15 PT to W85,000. On the back of our upgraded
forecasts, we raise our PT to W85,000 (was W80,000) based on 0.7x P/B. We
expect HSC to deliver strong OP on the back of: 1) cost synergies post its
acquisition of Hyundai Hysco’s CRC business, and 2) an increase in high valueadded product shipment from its recent acquisition of Dongbu Special Steel. 3)
low raw material costs will likely continue to act as a tailwind. Stay OW rated.

3Q15 Update - Weak Sales Offset by Better than
Expected Gross Margins
▼ Price Target: HK$2.50
Previous: HK$2.70
IT reported a mixed 3Q15 update. SSSG was weaker than expected. However, we
increase our FY15 forecasts by ~5% due to higher than expected gross margin
expansion (~340bps in 3Q15 v JPMf ~14bps contraction). We remain cautious on
IT and see limited catalysts in the short term.
 Weaker than expected 3Q15 sales. 3Q15 SSSG for HK was -4.5% (v JPMf
2H15 +0.4%). SSSG for Mainland China was -0.2% (v JPMf 2H15 +3.4%).
SSSG for Japan was +13.5% (v JPMf 2H15 +14.1%). The company noted prodemocracy demonstrations negatively impacted SSSG in HK, while the
company continues to be negatively impacted by weakening spending
momentum.
 Better than expected gross margins in 3Q15. Group gross margins expanded
~340bps in 3Q15 (v JPMf 2H15 ~14bps contraction). The driver of the beat was
better than expected gross margin expansion in Mainland China (~670bps v
JPMf 2H15 ~50bps expansion) and Japan (~910bps v JPMf 2H15 ~100bps
contraction). The company attributed the gross margin uplift to reduction in
price discounting campaigns.
 Higher inventory turnover days a negative leading indicator. The company
disclosed that inventory turnover days at Nov-14 trended above that at Nov-13
due to lower than expected sales. We worry this may negatively impact
sales/gross margins going forward as the company will likely need to reduce
inventory in 4Q15.
 Retain Neutral. We change our earnings forecasts by +5%/-3%/-2% for
FY15/FY16/FY17 following this release. We continue to see limited share price
catalysts for I.T in the short term for the following reasons: (1) limited sales
growth catalysts near-term; (2) likelihood of greater difficulty generating gross
margin expansion, despite the better than expected gross margin expansion in
3Q15; and (3) ongoing operating cost pressure, particularly in HK.

Price: W36,050
Sizable FCF along with prudent capex should
translate into higher shareholder returns
Price Target: W45,000
LGD reported robust 4Q OP of W626 billion (OPM: 8%), which is the
highest level since 2Q10 and very strong revenue of W8.3 trillion, well
above our and consensus numbers. This was attributable to strong mobile
display business, favorable FX and robust large-size panel prices. The
company announced a dividend payment of W500/share (1.4% dividend
yield), the first time since 2011.
 Optimistic guidance for 1Q15: Despite seasonal pullback in demand,
management delivered optimistic 1Q15 guidance, pointing to stable
large-size panel prices and well above normal seasonality. Also, ongoing
size migration in TV could provide upside risk to overall LCD TV area
growth, which is in line with our view.
 Meaningful increase in FCF along with prudent capex: LGD ended
up spending capex of W3.0 trillion, which is lower than its previous plan
in 2014 and guided to spend less than W3 trillion this year. Most capex
will be allocated to new technology (i.e., OLED). Hence, we expect its
FCF to significantly increase throughout our forecasting periods. Given
its favorable shareholder return policy, we cautiously expect LGD to
continue to increase dividend payments.
 Ongoing product mix improvement: We think LGD deserves a
premium over its peers given its value-added products such as 55” and
above TVs (UHD), OLED, IPS monitor, and No. 1 position to all Apple
products. We also expect LGD to start producing p-OLED for Apple
Watch from 1Q15, which will contribute to top-line and earnings
improvement. Nevertheless, LGD has significantly underperformed its
peers YTD.
 25% upside potential: With upward revisions to our earnings estimates
for FY15 and FY16, we maintain our high-end consensus earnings
estimates and PT. Given announcement of a dividend payment and
strong FCF outlook, we think the stock should gradually move up.

Price: $26.88
Muted quarter due to one-off miss in H&P; structural
growth story intact; stay OW
▼ Price Target: $35.00
Previous: $37.00
MakeMyTrip (MMYT) reported a muted quarter with USD revenue growth
of 22.9% Y/Y primarily due to lower-than-estimated Hotels & Packages
(H&P) revenues. Management suggests that the weakness in H&P transaction
growth is primarily because of cancellations forced by financial issues faced by
SpiceJet and floods in Kashmir. These are one-time disruptions, which are
unlikely to sustain in the coming quarters, as per MMYT. We expect H&P
business to sustain its strong growth. Air Ticketing business continues to be strong
- MMYT increased its market share considerably from 13% to 15%, impressive in
our view. MMYT is making investments in its mobile platform, user interface &
building larger portfolio of listed hotels to cement its leadership in both (air
ticketing and H&P) segments, which is encouraging. We believe MMYT is a
structural growth story backed by expected improvement in macro
environment in India, favorable demographic profile, increasing
internet/smartphone penetration and rising disposable income. MMYT’s
leadership position places it well to gain disproportionately from online travel
booking market growth. However, quarterly aberrations cannot be ruled out due to
various disruptions. We stay OW on MMYT.
 3QFY15 revenues of USD 35.1 million modestly missed the consensus
estimate of USD36.3 million, but internals look good. The revenue (less
service cost) miss is solely driven by lower-than-estimated H&P transactions
growth due to the one-offs. Air Ticketing revenues came broadly in line with
expectations. MMYT registered its highest-ever quarterly market share gain in
Air Ticketing business in 3QFY15. The increase in capacity driven by Vistara,
Air Asia and Indigo should also boost revenue growth for MMYT. H&P
margins improved 100 bps Q/Q due to improved mix. Also, mgmt increased
constant-currency guidance modestly to 30-31% (from 28-30% prev). All these
factors suggest that there is no lasting change in MMYT’s growth profile.
 MMYT is making necessary investments to cement its leadership. The
company is making a number of changes to its user interface (particularly on
mobile) such as making mobile payment easier, providing Hindi interface,
allowing it to prioritize airlines, build customized packages (to drive the shift
from offshore to online). A solid mobile platform can prove instrumental in
gaining market share. Also, MMYT has materially increased its domestic
properties portfolio from 15,500 in Sep-14 to 20,000 properties in Dec-14. All
these initiatives should help MMYT maintain its leadership in both its target
markets.
 Loss of pricing power remains key risk. However, it is the risk for air
ticketing business primarily, which constitutes a diminishing proportion of total
revenues. Hotels business is unlikely to see pricing pressures given low
occupancy ratio, low concentration & high operating leverage for hotel owners.

NTT Docomo (9437)
3Q expenses present 5% downside to FY15E EBITDA
We remain UW on NTT Docomo given 1) its core network quality issues, 2)
slowing industry revenue growth, 3) loss of quality share continuing to hit
margins at the CNE level (28.9% of voice revenue vs. 19.7% in 3Q13), and 4)
margin dilutive impact of fiber wholesale. We reduce our 2015/16 EBITDA
and net income numbers by 8%/16% despite growing top line on account of
higher communication and network charges and potential marketing expenses
off the new bundled plans. Our numbers imply that continued revisions will
weigh on the stock with 16% downside to FY15 earnings and 5% downside to
EBITDA.
 3Q operating weakness continues. The top line was in line with our
estimate of Street expectations (using 1/2Q actuals plus 3Q Street forecasts)
but EBITDA missed by 2% on higher CNE charges, SG&A and cost of
equipment. Communication Network charges continued to rise higher from
27.1% of voice sales in 2Q14 to 28.9% in 3Q14 (see Figure 1). The beat
came from operating income, which rose on account of lower depreciation,
which the company attributed to ‘a scrutinization of the write off of network
equipment’. 9M operating income fell by 14.7% yoy and came in at ¥587bn,
compared to the Nikkei’s estimate of ¥560bn and our estimate of street
expectations at ¥558bn. 93%/91% of FY14 guidance/ consensus operating
income and 91%/90% of FY14 guidance/ consensus net income have
already been achieved in 9M14 (see Table 1).
 2015 view. We expect higher top-line growth to be clogged by growing
CNE charges as a percentage of voice revenue and potential promotional
expenses related to the new bundles. Our revised numbers illustrate 16%
downside for FY15 earnings and 5% downside for EBITDA. We expect
EBITDA margin to drop to 30%/29% for FY14/FY15 from 34% in 2013.
 Remain UW. We stay negative on the stock owing to: (1) The impact of
fiber wholesale that is expected to be margin dilutive. DoCoMo will
compete on a variable cost basis vs. KDDI operating on a fixed cost basis,
putting DCM at a cost disadvantage, in our view. (2) Consistent market
share loss due to a lack of 3/4G network quality leadership. (3) The highest
valuation in the space, despite negative sales/EBITDA/net profit revisions.

Price: W273,500
FY14 results - Miss, FY15 OP guidance at risk of
downgrade
▼ Price Target: W300,000
Previous: W330,000
POSCO FY14 results disappointed. Hit by additional tax payments, FX
and equity losses, the FY14 NP more than halved. 4Q14 OP surprised us
by sequentially falling during the traditional strong 4Q season. At an
annualized W3.0T, we believe POSCO’s FY15 OP target of W4.0T will
likely be cut. Given likely Street downgrades and weak steel markets, we
see further downside pressure on POSCO shares in the near term.
 FY14 NP miss, OP disappoints. POSCO announced preliminary FY14
reported NP of W626B (consensus W1.38T, JPM W1.32T), -55% y/y.
This implied a 4Q14 loss of W193B. Full result details will be released
next week on February 5, but we believe the bottom line was hit by: a)
an additional tax payment following government investigation
(Yonhap), b) losses from equity investments, and c) foreign exchange
losses on USD loans. FY14 OP of W3.2T (Street W3.36T), +7.3% y/y,
on Sales of W65.1T (guidance W65.5T), +5.2%, suggests OPM held
broadly flat at 4.9% (4.8% 2013). The implied 4Q OP of W765B
(consensus W922B, JPM W902B) was disappointing given that 4Q is
seasonally a stronger quarter than 3Q. Pleasingly, final DPS were
maintained at W6k/share.
 FY15 OP guidance at risk. We suspect strong Chinese steel exports in
4Q14 both into Korea (4Q14 +3% q/q) and overall (4Q14 +17% q/q)
primarily into the Asian region, negatively impacted POSCO’s OP
margins (4.6% in 4Q14 versus 5.4% 3Q14). Of greater concern,
POSCO’s 4Q14 OP implies an annualized OP of W3.1T and with 1Q15
cash spreads contracting, lower oil prices that should reduce Myanmar’s
gas contributions, we believe POSCO will cut its current FY15 OP
guidance of W4.0T. Its mid-term 2016 target of W5.0T will also be at
risk. Following the weaker-than-expected result, we trim EPS by 9% and
8% in 2015E and 2016E and expect Street downgrades to follow.
 Shares to face near-term downside pressure. POSCO shares have
already corrected sharply in recent months but given the disappointing
FY14 results, we expect its shares to remain under downside pressure in
the near term. Given our earnings cuts and ahead of its results briefing
next week (5 Feb 2015), we cut our PT to W300,000 (was W330,000).

Price: Bt113.00
Cost reduction - a challenge
Price Target: Bt100.00
PTTEP's management update post FY14 earnings did little to re-assure us that
the company is able to lower cost partly owing to high cost fields from legacy
deals. Impairment risk on Mozambique looks limited for now, but there was
no visibility on FID timing. We think PTTEP looks unlikely to reach its
600kb/d production target by 2020 and will do its best to sustain the current
dividend level. While the shares seems to price in low oil prices and the
balance sheet remains unconstrained, we see further downside risks should oil
prices fall below US$40/bl and remain Neutral.
 Limited potential for cost and capex reduction due to legacy deals.
DD&A costs for Montara still remain high at US$65-70/bbl despite
impairment. Given full-year operations for Zawtika and recently bought
Hess assets, DD&A is likely to remain elevated in 2015-16. Management is
cautious on benefits from cost-reduction drive and has not guided for
potential savings yet. Scope for capex reduction for 2015 remains limited as
most of the capex is likely to be spent to maintain production profile and the
flexible portion of the 5-year capex budget of US$24bn, provisioned for
development projects, is rather back-loaded in 2017-19. Given 1P reserve
life of only c6 years and declining output, management may be compelled
to invest in development projects and acquire producing assets, despite
potentially lower hurdle rates.
 Mozambique assets not impaired yet. Management noted that
Mozambique assets (cUS$2.5bn on book) impairment triggers would
mainly be oil price outlook and change in production profile. The FID is
expected in late-2015 or early-2016 with two 5MMTPA trains in 2020-21.
Montara and Mariana Oil Sand projects may be subjected to further
impairment depending on oil price outlook and change in production profile
respectively. As PTTEP already held interest in Hess Thai assets bought in
Apr-14, management sees limited scope for impairment.
 Maintain Neutral with Dec-15 PT of Bt100/sh, based on our DCF
valuation. Downside risks are value-destructive M&As and potential
impairment for Mozambique assets. Key upside risks include a surge in oil
prices and better-than-expected production output.

2015 catalysts: Significant earnings growth, soft
dividend hike, share buyback, SK Planet
SKT posted in-line 4Q results. Management provided upbeat ARPU
growth guidance of 4-5% and indicated potential dividend upside. We
believe SKT is well positioned to post robust earnings growth (+21% OP
growth) in 2015. We also expect dividend per share to rise from W9,400 in
2014 to W10,000 in 2015, equivalent the superior 2015E dividend yield of
3.5% among Korea telcos. We maintain our OW rating and SoTP-based
PT of W340,000, with slight downward earnings adjustments offset by
FCF increases after 2016E.

 4Q in line. SKT’s consolidated OP of W490B was in line with our
expectation. We note tighter-than-expected marketing costs control (-1.9%
q/q) relative to competitors in 4Q.
(82-2) 758-5383
[email protected]
 Significant earnings growth momentum in 2015. With our earnings
forecasts fine-tuned, we forecast 21% OP growth in 2015 based on 3%
ARPU growth and the decline of the marketing costs to sales ratio from
26% in 2014 to 24% in 2015.
 Potential dividend hike and share buyback. Management commented
that it will consider potential dividend upside and share buybacks. The
possibility of these two shareholder-friendly strategies is high, in our
view. We expect dividend per share to rise from W9,400 to W10,000 in
2015. The dividend to be paid from SK Hynix will likely transfer to
SKT shareholders, in our view.
Price Performance
 SK Planet remains a “call option value,” maintain OW. We continue
to be positive on the stock thanks to enhancing earnings visibility in the
future and dividend upside. The value-enhancing strategy of 100%owned subsidiary SK Planet remains a potential share price catalyst, in
our view.

2015 Outlook: Higher Capex and tepid growth. Time to
shift the debate from regulation to data economics
29 January 2015
Underweight
Price: Bt251.00
29 Jan 2015
PT End Date: 30 Jun 2015
AIS management hosted an “AIS Vision 2015” event this afternoon, where they provided an overview of the
business plan for 2015. Capex guidance of minimum THB40B v/s consensus estimates of THB30B does not
come as a surprise to us. While lack of more spectrum has some role to play, rapidly rising data usage (over
200% YoY) is the key driver. Revenue growth expectations for the industry seem tepid, with management
expecting 3%-4% in 2015. Spectrum auctions in July this year now seem a consensus view, so any potential
delays could lead to negative surprises. Going forward, we see data economics to set the tone for earnings and
stock price, especially post the spectrum auction event. Current rates of data usage growth point to further
increase in capex intensity, which will also have implications for network opex. We remain cautious and
maintain our UW rating on AIS.

Time to shift the debate from regulatory environment to data economics: Investor focus over the last
12-18 months has been centered around the regulatory environment and timing of spectrum auctions.
Consensus seems to be baking in a July-15 auction scenario. We believe post auctions, the debate will move
to economics of data. Data usage in Thailand is rising rapidly, as 3G network is rolled out and smart-phone
adoption increases. However, data revenue growth is significantly lagging usage growth (~200% to 400%
y/y as noted by AIS), implying compression in data unit pricing. This is likely to drive capex higher and
rising competitive intensity (potentially led by True Corp) could keep data pricing under check. CAPEX
guidance of >Bt 40bn for 2015, is already significantly higher than current consensus estimates of Bt 30bn.
AIS has laid out this capex to expand wireless network, fixed broadband service and digital services.

Growth outlook for 2015 looks tepid: AIS expects wireless industry revenues to grow ~3-4%, device sales
to increase by 10% and fixed broadband revenues to rise 15% in 2015. Street is looking at a recovery in
service revenues for the industry in 2015, post a tepid 2014. A 3%-4% growth scenario indicted continued
tepid industry growth environment, though it is in-line with current consensus estimates, which bake in 4%
revenue growth in 2015

Seeking transformation into a digital services provider, but monetisation strategy not clear yet: AIS is
looking to shift away from being a pure-play wireless provider to become an integrated provider of mobile,
fixed broadband and digital content. AIS views itself as “an enabler of the development of content” for
various industries, for instance in streaming music (20mn songs downloaded per year), browsing books
(>2million e-book views per month), news content (20mn newscast delivered per year), and financial
transactions (>400 subscribers every month uses their mobile payment services). AIS believe its strong
foundation in engineering and relationships with regulators, and content service providers should help
enable the transformation. While the desire to shift away from being a 'dumb pipe' is well articulated,
management are yet to detail a monetization strategy.

Spectrum Auctions in mid 2015? AIS played a video of the NBTC Chairman stating NBTC’s main plan in
2015 was to launch auction for 900mHZ and 1800Mhz spectrum auction to support 4G roll out. While
timing of spectrum auctions being scheduled towards the middle of 2015 is now a consensus view, we
believe there are other regulatory issues that need resolution particularly the base pricing of the auctions and
nature of network deals between operators and CAT and TOT.

Maintain UW. We maintain our Underweight rating with a PT of THB198 based on 14x Jun 2016E P/E.

Asian Paints Limited (APNT IN)
Q3FY15 First cut : Earnings disappoint on sales miss
Neutral
Price: Rs910.25
28 Jan 2015
Price Target: Rs710.00
PT End Date: 30 Sep 2015
Asian Paints Q3FY15 operating performance was below our and street expectations. Company registered Net
Sales, EBITDA and PAT growth of 6%, 9% and 12% respectively for Q3FY15. Single digit volume growth for
the decorative segment was a key negative. Gross margin expansion was healthy at ~300bp y/y.

Sales growth moderated to 6% y/y led by low single digit volume growth in the decorative segment due to
sluggish demand trends. Growth was also affected by the early festival season this year. The automotive
coatings JV witnessed good growth in general industrial and auto refinish segment, though auto OEM
segment saw subdued demand.

Gross margin gains surprise; subdued sales growth leads to lower EBITDA margin expansion.
Benefits of lower RM inflation have started to reflect in improved gross margin performance (+290bp y/y)
as overall COGS rose just 1% y/y. However, negative operating leverage restricted EBITDA margin
expansion to 40bp y/y. Staff costs and other expenses rose 18% and 16% y/y respectively in Q3. For
standalone operations, gross margin and EBITDA margin expanded 340bp and 110bp y/y. This implies that
profitability of international and industrial business suffered during the quarter.

Home improvement business registered operating loss of Rs52mn in Q3 vs near breakeven in Q2.
Management noted that ramp up of home improvement business has been slower than expected.

(BBNI IJ)
Solid beat across the board; accumulate while the
Street worries about management changes
30 January 2015
Overweight
Price: Rp6,150
29 Jan 2015
Price Target: Rp6,700
PT End Date: 31 Dec 2015
BNI (BBNI IJ) reported 4Q14 net profit of Rp3.2tn, up 26% q/q, 26% y/y and 21%/24% above our and Street
estimates respectively. This led to FY14 net profit of Rp10.8tn, up 19% y/y. Exact numbers will be known
tomorrow after detailed financials are out. The primary reason for the beat was 1) lower credit costs (49bp vs.
172bp avg. in 9M14), 2) higher non-interest income (+46% q/q), and 3) slightly lower effective tax rate (19.2%
vs. 20.3% in 9M14). This was partly offset by seasonally higher operating costs (+30% q/q) and non-operating
loss. Lower credit costs came in as a positive surprise, as management had previously guided for lack of
seasonality in asset quality in 4Q. Over the last four years, NPLs have improved q/q in 4Q due to a combination
of write-off and seasonal improvement in cash flows, and 4Q14 was no exception with NPL improving 24bp q/q
to 1.96%. We expect non-II and credit cost-led positive earnings revisions by the Street post today’s result. We
reiterate BNI as one of our top picks in the sector (the other being Rakyat).

Net interest income came in at Rp6.0tn, up 6% q/q and in line with our estimate. Loan yields improved
70bp y/y to 10.9%, partly offset by an 80bp y/y increase in deposit costs to 3.2%. LDR increased by 264bp
y/y to 88.4%, leading to 9bp of margin expansion.

Non-interest income came in at Rp3.4tn, up 46% q/q and 26% above JPMe, per our calculations. This was
primarily driven by an increase in recurring fees (+18% q/q) viz. account maintenance, credit card, trade
finance and also higher insurance premiums (+28% q/q). FX gains increased 61% q/q as the bank held a
long USD position (in overseas branches). We expect non-II to remain resilient in the near term, as: 1)
10YR government bond yields are down 82bp in the last three weeks, which should lead to MTM gains; and
(2) FX hedging has been made mandatory starting this year, which should lead to higher treasury crossselling which would be reflected in the fee income.

Operating costs stood at Rp4.9tn, up 30% q/q and 11% above JPMe, per our calculations. Costs are
seasonally higher in 4Q (~38% on avg in past four years) with avg. 4Q CIR of 59%, but thereafter
sequentially improve in 1Q (~27% on avg.). Hence we are not worried by the spike and expect costs to
normalize in 1Q15. We also note that despite seasonally higher costs, PPOP was up 7% q/q and 4% above
our estimates.

Asset quality improved during the quarter. NPL ratio declined 24bp q/q to 1.96% and special mention loans
declined by a sharp 100bp q/q to 2.62%. These came in as a positive surprise, as management had
previously guided for a lack of seasonality in asset quality in 4Q. Asset quality improvement was across the
board with small and consumer bad loans improving by 18bp and 32bp respectively after rising in 3Q.
Despite significantly lower provisions during the quarter, coverage ratio improved 591bp q/q to 130%
which, combined with trends in special mention loans, gives us more comfort on write-offs / recoveries
going forward.

Change in management: This is the last full year under the current management. There will be a substantial
change in management (only 4 out of 10 directors can be reappointed) at the next AGM (17th March).
Hence, the investment case will evolve based on the incoming management’s strategy. Details of the
management changes are as below:
Bank of China (BOCHK) (2388 HK)
Considering the sale of NCB?
29 January 2015
Overweight
Price: HK$26.90
28 Jan 2015
Reuters reported this afternoon that BOCHK is considering selling Nanyang Commercial Bank (NCB) at
US$6bn while China Cinda Asset Management (1359 HK) is the potential buyer. There is no official comment
from BOCHK yet but we think the share price is likely to react positively if the deal potentially takes place at
the reported valuation.

Incentive for divestment? The report has attributed the potential divestment to the overlapping of onshore
Mainland businesses between BOC and NCB (China) although we think both the scale and client base are
very much different. Meanwhile, we believe deteriorating asset quality condition (NPL ratio of 1.6% in
1H14 vs. 0.6% in 2H13 at NCB (China)) and an uncertain outlook could also be likely factors if
management considering any potential strategic moves, despite the fact that NCB accounts for a small
proportion of the group (NCB (China) only accounts for 6.3% of group total loans).

Implied valuation is attractive. US$6bn (as mentioned in the news report) would imply 1.4x P/BV based
on 1H14 equity of HK$33.4bn at NCB, which is attractive in our view given ROE at NCB in the past 4-5
years is only 8-10%. Such valuation could also result in one-time divestment gains of around HK$13bn, or
54% of our current FY14E earnings.

Capital accretive & ROE dilutive. NCB portfolio comprises 21% of RWA at BOCHK as of 1H14 and thus
the divestment, if it happens, could help to improve the capital position; based on our estimates, CET1 ratio
will increase to 16.4% from 11.8% if taking into account the potential divestment gains aforementioned. On
the other hand, earnings contribution from NCB is 11-13% of annual profits at BOCHK and thus proforma
ROE could be lowered by 1.5ppt post divestments.

Sentiment should be in favor of the divestment. From a business perspective, the potential divestment of
NCB, if it happens, should not have a detrimental impact on BOCHK’s cross-border businesses but might
help to reduce asset quality concerns/uncertainties, not to mention the reported valuation is very attractive.
Therefore, the share price could react positively if there is further progress regarding the potential deal in the
near future. Our preferred pick among HK banks remains Hang Seng Bank.
Bursa Malaysia Bhd (BURSA MK)
Good 4Q, but limited upside
30 January 2015
Neutral
Price: M$8.22
29 Jan 2015
Price Target: M$8.50
Bursa (Bursa MK) reported net income of M$53.1mn in 4Q14, flat q/q, up 57% y/y and 15% above JPM and
Street estimates. This brought FY14 net income to M$198mn, up 15% y/y. The beat was across the board and
was primarily driven by: 1) Higher-than-expected derivatives revenue (7% above JPMe), 2) Higher listing and
market data fees (+16% q/q and +10% q/q, respectively), 3) Lower-than-expected operating costs (3% below
JPMe), and 4) Lower effective tax rate (21.4% vs. 25.8% in the previous quarter). The exchange declared 18
sen/share of final dividends, bringing full-year DPS to 58 sen, implying a payout ratio of 145% and FY14
dividend yield of 6.6%. We expect the stock to react positively in the near term on the back of this result.
However, the stock is currently trading at implied ADT of M$2.1bn, 3% below our FY15 ADT assumption of
M$2.2bn, limiting meaningful upside. Maintain Neutral.

Securities ADT came in at M$2.0bn, down 13% q/q, 14% y/y and 8% below our estimate. However,
securities clearing revenue came in at M$58.5mn, down 8% q/q and only 3% below JPMe; indicating
higher-than-expected securities clearing fees of 3.72bps, per our calculation.

Derivatives average daily volume came in at 54,537 contracts, up 1% q/q, up 31% y/y and 6% above our
estimates. Consequently, derivatives revenue came in at M$19.0mn, up 3% q/q and 7% above JPMe. F&O
volumes were mainly driven by higher FCPO volume and improved FKLI volumes with Dec-14 OI being
196,413 contracts. FY2014 DDAV increased 16% y/y to 50,654 contracts, mainly driven by higher FCPO
volumes (+27% y/y) due to uncertainty of CPO prices.

Other operating income was M$51.0mn, up 10% q/q and 6% above JPMe. Sequential improvement in
income can be attributed to higher listing fees (+16% q/q), market data fees (+10% q/q) and trading revenue
from BSAS (+35% q/q). Increase in listing and issuer services fees was due to higher perusal and processing
fees earned from higher number of corporate exercises and a higher number of new structured warrant
listings. Higher trading revenue from BSAS was due to increase in ADV (M$9.9bn vs. M$7.2bn in 3Q14) as
a result of increase in sukuk issuance that trade through BSAS trading platform.

Operating costs came in at M$59.1mn, up 7% q/q, but down 10% y/y and 3% below JPMe. While costs are
seasonally higher in 4Q due to staff costs (+12% q/q in 4Q), there was good cost management observed for
other expenses. We note that operating costs increased only 1% y/y to M$232mn, driven by lower
depreciation and amortization expenses (down 28% y/y) since implementation of a more cost efficient new
trading system (BTS2) at end of 2013. Consequently, operating margins improved by 224bps y/y to 54%.

Final dividends of 18 sen/share was declared, bringing full-year DPS to 58 sen, implying a payout ratio of
145% and FY14 dividend yield of 6.7%. Bursa is now one of the highest dividend-yielding stocks amongst
FBMKLCI constituents. The entitlement and payment dates for the final dividend are 3 April 2015 and 16
April 2015, respectively.

Initiatives taken and products launched in 2014: To increase the retail participation, the exchange
launched an online portal called Bursa Marketplace and held 9 investor conferences and 5 educational
programs. It widened its derivative products offerings with the launch of US$-denominated FPOL, the
enhanced FMG5, MyETF MSCI Malaysia Islamic Dividend and 3rd Government Guaranteed DINB ETBS.
However, we think that it will take some time before such products start making meaningful contribution to
revenues. Moreover, we think that to counter increasing regional competition, exchange will have to address
its structural problem of lower velocity vis-à-vis its peers (32% vs. 50% at SGX and 70% at HKEx).
Genting Singapore (GENS SP)
Implication from MBS 4Q result
29 January 2015
Underweight
Price: S$1.06
28 Jan 2015
Price Target: S$1.00

Thoughts on MBS 4Q14 result: Las Vegas Sands (LVS US, OW, covered by Joseph Greff) reported 4Q14
results this morning. Marina Bay Sands (MBS) reported adjusted EBITDA of US428mn (excluding oneoff), up 22% qoq mainly due to favorable win rate (3.58% vs. 3Q 2.64% vs. normal 2.85%). Adjusted for
luck and one-off items, EBITDA would have been USD371mn, up 1% qoq and right in-line with JPMe
USD371mn. Key operating matrix: 1) Favorable VIP luck factor and robust and stable mass
performance: VIP rolling volume totaled USD10.0bn, up 10% qoq from a low base in 3Q but still well
below the volume level before 2Q, down 27% yoy. Mass segment has held up well post the strong
improvement last quarter, with revenue up 0.7% qoq or 5.4% yoy, benefiting from regional premium mass.
Slot revenue was down by 2.1% qoq or 2.1% yoy. 2) Accounts receivable balance: 4Q14 gross A/R
increased by 2% qoq to USD1,001mn (vs 3Q14: USD984mn) and A/R reserved was at 40% (vs. 41.9% for
3Q and 37.2% for FY13). A/R turnover days increased to 185 days from 173 days in 3Q. We do not see
signs of credit collection improvement for the Singapore market. 3) Margins: EBITDA margin improved to
54.9% from 47.8% in 3Q, mainly due to a favorable luck this quarter. Luck and bad debt adj. EBITDA
margin increased slightly to 48% (3Q: 47%).

Conference call highlights. 1) Strong mass performance benefiting from regional premium mass.
Regional premium mass initiatives have been successfully attracting customers from Indonesia, Malaysia,
etc. and supported mass revenue growth. Mass revenue has delivered continued growth since MBS opening,
and we believe management will continue to focus on developing high-margin and stable mass and nongaming business to remain competitive and increase profits. 2) 90mn one-off boosted 4Q EBITDA. The
reported record high 4Q total EBITDA of USD518.5mn is boosted by USD90mn property tax refund
received during the quarter. Adjusting for this one-off and luck factor, the 4Q result is in-line. 3) Japan:
Management remains focused on potential development opportunities in Japan. We do not expect Japan
gaming legalization to materialize near term.

Impact to GENS – slightly negative. As MBS continues to deliver robust mass performance, we expect
competition for regional premium mass customers as well as local Singaporean customers to be more
intense between the two Singapore operators, which is unfavorable for GENS. The credit situation for the
Singapore VIP market still sees no signs of recovery, due to the softer economy growth in China and some
South East Asian countries in 4Q. We currently expect GENS 4Q EBITDA to be SGD328mn, factoring in
2% qoq VIP rolling volume growth, normal luck factor, and a 1% qoq decline in mass and slot revenue.

Fee growth was muted due to lower non retail loan growth
Investment profits contributed 8% to the overall PAT v/s 3% in 3Q14
Spreads improved due to higher spread in non retail loans
Lower rates led to substituting bank loans with bonds
Deposit growth was strong despite cut in retail deposit rates in 3Q15
Management is witnessing early signs of recovery in non retail loans
Source: J.P. Morgan estimates, Company data.

AUM growth of 16% was mainly driven by retail loans (+18% y/y). Retail now constitutes 72% of total
loans vs 70.8% in 3Q14. Mumbai region witnessed some traction in loan book in the December month after
remaining subdued in the previous quarters. There are some early signs of pick-up in demand of nonretail loans - continued momentum should drive stronger revenue growth in FY16E.

Spreads. Overall spreads improved to 2.31% vs. 2.25% in 3Q14 - mainly driven by improvement in
spreads from non-retail loans, up 21bp y/y. Funding costs were soft and should continue to fall,
driven by: 1) recent deposit rate cut in 3Q15, 2) possible base rate cuts in 1HCY15, 3) further
substitution of bank loans with bonds. The translation to spreads, however, will be muted by falling
lending yields and a compression of the back book-front book differentials. The main tailwind for
spreads is an improved share of wholesale lending, likely from 1QFY16E.

Asset quality remained stable with Gross NPLs at 0.69%. There was a slight uptick in credit costs due
to higher GPs in the quarter. HDFC's PCR continues to be very comfortable at 100% and total
provisions are now 0.9% of loans.

Non interest income growth was subdued: a) Muted growth in wholesale loans compressed fees
b) Investment profits grew 10% q/q and was 8% of overall PAT - given the strong markets - this
can expand further in the coming quarters.

Weak headline disguises strong details
Hotel Shilla reported weaker-than-expected 4Q14 headline results (big miss
on both OP and NP), mainly due to 1) larger-than-expected losses from hotels
and its overseas new DFS at Singapore Changi International Airport, and 2) an
effective tax rate increase on a consolidated basis, mostly due to losses from
its Singapore subsidiary. However, the weak headline disguises the strong
details, in our view. Its core business, domestic DFS, had better-than-expected
margins, with Incheon International Airport (IIA) DFS finally starting to make
a meaningful margin improvement. IIA DFS sales finally have reached a level
at which the company can enjoy operating leverage from fixed rent. DFS sales
were in line with our estimate, but better-than-expected OPM from IIA poses
upside risks to our earnings estimates. We are reviewing our estimates.
 Solid domestic DFS results with record-high OPM: Domestic DFS sales
growth was largely in line with our estimate, and both city and airport sales
were strong, growing by 39%y/y and 13%y/y respectively. Operating
leverage from IIA DFS could push the domestic DFS margin higher than
our expectation, while city DFS OPM continues to expand from the
economies of scale.
 Outlook for Changi International Airport: We estimate Changi’s
operating loss at W30bn in 4Q14, and expect this to be smaller in 1Q15, as
half of the floor space currently under construction is slated to become
operational in February 2015. We expect Changi to make about W500bn in
sales and a W5bn operating loss in 2015. Since its rent is linked to sales, its
profitability should improve in 2H15, once the operation stabilizes.
 Hotel business likely to continue to be loss-making, but to a lesser
extent than in 2014. Although occupancy ratio at the company’s Seoul
hotel was higher in 4Q14 than in 3Q14, the operating loss was larger due to
the lower-than-expected earnings contribution from the Jeju hotel, as 4Q14
is the low season for Jeju. We expect continued operating losses from the
company’s hotels, unless we see a meaningful improvement in the
occupancy rate of the Seoul hotel.

3Q15: NPLs stable; loan book contracts; loan spreads
stable
IDFC reported PAT of Rs4.23bn (down 15% y/y, 4% < JPMe). Key takeaways: (1) Asset quality remained
stable, though provisioning continues to go up. (2) The loan book continues to contract, in line with
our expectations. (3) The impact of the bank transition was visible with elevated opex and an
expansion in treasury assets. This compressed spreads, though loan spreads remained stable. We
expect more details after the conference call tomorrow (10.35am, +91 22 39381071).


Asset quality. Asset quality (stock) remained stable, with gross NPLs at 0.7% and gross restructured
loans at 6.1%. PCR continues to rise with incremental provisioning, though credit costs declined to
1.4% vs. 2% in the previous quarter. We expect provisioning to continue in the run up to the bank
transition, as management would like to start the bank off with a clean slate.

Loan book. Loan book declined 2% q/q for two broad reasons: (1) continued weakness in demand,
given the tardy progress in infra projects; and (2) the book size will need to be optimized in the run
up to the bank transition (expected in Oct-15) to deal with the reserve requirements on the NBFC
backbook.

Non interest income and opex. (1) Gains from the principal book remained subdued despite strong
markets - this tends to be lumpy, and we don’t read much into a single quarter. (2) Asset
management reported strong numbers - the Indian MF industry is seeing strong flows, and IDFC is
benefiting from that. (3) IB revenues were down 46% q/q - while the operating environment is
strong, revenues tend to be lumpy. (4) Strong treasury income on the back of the bond market rally
- this could continue, given the expansion of the book and the continued rally in yields. (5) Soft
loan-related fees, a victim of weak loan origination.

Analyst briefing takeaways: Retail sales outperform
peers; Potential office oversupply should not be a
concern

KLCC held a post-FY14 results briefing. The main takeaways were: 1) Tenant sales at Suria KLCC rose more
than 5%Y/Y, the strongest among the main malls, allowing KLCC to achieve rental reversions of 12%Y/Y
despite the more cautious consumer environment. 2) While we see a risk of oversupply in the office segment
over the next two years, with industry checks revealing an incoming supply to the Klang Valley of about 15% of
existing stock, we feel the risk to KLCC is mitigated by its long-term contracts with tenants, and asset branding
to international standards. We believe KLCC is well-priced at an FY15E/16E net yield of 5.0%/5.2%, slightly
below the sector average, and lacking DPU growth (FY15E/16E: 4.8%/4.4%). Within the REIT space, we prefer
exposure to Sunway REIT (OW) for its 17%Y/Y DPU step-up in FY16E, and our top pick is IGB REIT (OW)
for exposure to organic growth.
Brief recap of FY14 results:

FY14 net DPU of 31.7 sen broadly in-line, coming in 4% below our full-year forecast for 33.0 sen and 1%
above consensus, after including M$33MM in one-off finance and tax expenses. The results were strong in
the first full year following the restructuring into a stapled security in May-2013, with FY14 operating profit
up 5%Y/Y versus our forecast for 3%Y/Y growth. Key drivers were 1) 21%Y/Y growth in hotel revenues on
the reopening of the ballroom at the Mandarin Oriental post-refurbishment works, and 2) 5%Y/Y growth in
retail revenues on the back of a 12%Y/Y rise in rental rates in 2013.

Retail robust. Tenant sales at Suria KLCC rose more than 5%Y/Y, the strongest among the main malls,
allowing KLCC to continue to achieve rental reversions of 12%Y/Y despite the more cautious consumer
environment. This supports our view that pockets of more defensive spending could remain at the larger,
integrated assets that can draw in higher footfall and in our view will outperform their smaller and
standalone peers. In the recent results, the larger, integrated assets like Mid Valley Mall (IGB REIT) and
Sunway Pyramid Mall (Sunway REIT) recorded retail sales of about 4%-5% versus flattish growth at
Pavilion Mall (Pavilion REIT) and for the CMMT portfolio.

Office as usual, occupancy risk low. Revenue contribution was stable, but PBT affected by a one-off cost
relating to the refinancing of existing debt at lower rates, bringing average cost of debt from 4.7% to 4.5%.
While we see a risk of oversupply in the segment over the next two years, with industry checks revealing an
incoming supply to the Klang Valley of about 15% of existing stock, we feel the risk for KLCC is mitigated
by its long-term contracts with tenants, and asset branding to international standards. The office segment
contributed 44% to group revenue and 49% to group PBT, with three of its four assets on single-tenant, 15
year triple net leases to Petronas, pushing occupancy risk from external tenants back to its parent, while
Menara ExxonMobil (8% of group NLA and 6.5% of revenue), which houses the regional headquarters of
Exxon Mobil Corp, is on a single long-term lease that expires in Feb-2017.

Hotel boosted by F&B. The reopening of the ballroom at the Mandarin Oriental resulted in a 23%Y/Y rise
in F&B revenue, which contributes about 40% of segment revenues. Refurbishment works have now moved
to the meeting rooms and hotel facilities and are expected to take about three months to complete during the
current low season.

4Q14 results in-line - differentiated earnings growth
continues with high visibility
 4Q14 revenue/OP in-line, 2014 guidance fully met: KAI’s revenue/OP came
in at W696B/W47B, in line with our expectations. Revenue was flat y/y,
challenged by high 4Q13 base which was driven by faster-than-expected KUH
revenue recognition. 4Q14 NP came in at W33B, better than our expectation,
due to FX gains from USD receivables. The company ended 2014 with W2.3T
revenue and W161B OP, fully achieving its annual guidance.
 Further strong growth guided for 2015: For 2015, management guided W3T
revenue (+30% y-y) and W231 OP (+43% y-y, 7.7% OPM), in line with our
forecasts. Given the historical track record, we are confident that KAI will
continue to deliver its revenue guidance with high earnings visibility. The
company plans to spend W268B on R&D and capex in 2015 (vs. W117B in
2014). The sharp increase in investment is mainly due to roll-over of previous
year’s investment plans, as some of the major orders have been delayed to 2015.
 Delayed major orders will be met in 2015: KAI received W2.4T worth of
new orders in 2014 (target W7.7T), due mainly to the delayed KFX (estimated
W5T) and LAH/LCH development (estimated W600B) orders. However,
management expressed strong confidence in receiving these orders this year,
and suggested a W10T order target for 2015 (Defense W7.0T, Export W1.1T,
Civil W1.9T). We expect KAI to receive the long-waited KFX order in 3Q15
and LCH/LAH order in 1H15.
 Maintain OW and RIV-based Jun-15 PT of W50,000: The stock trades at
29x 2015E EPS vs. 16x for global peers. We believe the premium is due to its
1) higher growth, 2) unique monopoly position, 3) strong replacement cycle in
Korea, and 4) rising M/S within the global industry. These positive drivers
remain intact, in our view, and we expect KAI to offer 35% EPS CAGR over
the next three years vs. low-teen growth for global peers. In the near term, we
expect: 1) stronger earnings visibility within the Korea machinery sector, and 2)
new orders to support the share price. Key risks are volatility in new orders (-);
cost overruns on existing projects (-); R&D cost increase (-); successful aircraft
exports to the US (+) and new business opportunities (+).

Relative weak 4Q results and muted 1Q15 guidance
LGE reported relatively weak 4Q14 results mainly due to emerging currency depreciation, weak domestic
smartphone market, and intensifying price competition in the TV business. Its NP turned to negative territory
due to the loss (W164 billion) from discontinued operation (PDP). On the other hand, its MC (Mobile
Communication) division managed to post a profit in three consecutive quarters despite shipment decline (-7%
Q/Q) and depressed domestic smartphone market in 4Q14.

Lackluster 1Q15 outlook: Management delivered a relatively cautious outlook (mid-single digit % top-line
growth but OP decline on Y/Y) for 1Q15 pointing to EM currency weakness, which negatively impacts HE
(TV) business that accounted for almost 50% of total OP in 1Q14. For MC, management guided both sales
and OP will improve on Y/Y basis and expects profitability to meaningfully improve in 2Q15 along with
new product launch.

All about EM currencies: During an analyst meeting, management blamed EM currency weakness many
times for most operations and its key products (especially, TV and Appliance) continue to see headwinds
given that LGE has relatively high exposure to EM (i.e. Russia, Brazil etc.). Hence, we see limited visibility
for its earnings outlook in 2015 and sustainability of the smartphone business is still a question mark. On the
other hand, current share price is close to the bottom from a valuation standpoint given that the stock is
trading at 0.8x FY15E book.

Lack of near-term catalyst: We will review our estimates once we have more detail data. Meanwhile, we
do not expect any near-term catalysts that could drive the stock higher given the lack of earnings visibility
and new product launch in the smartphone business to be slated for 2Q15 at the earliest. Hence, we
recommend investors wait for a better entry point.

LINE's robust monetization intact but disappointing
MAU growth
Naver reported weaker-than-expected 4Q results, with OP coming in 15%
below our expectation. LINE’s gross revenue posted robust growth of 17%
q/q and 80% y/y, in line with our expectation while LINE's net revenue
growth came in softer than expected. LINE added 11mn MAU (total 181mn)
in 4Q (vs. our expectation of +21mn MAU net addition). Overall, LINE’s
monetization trend remained robust despite disappointing MAU growth
momentum in 4Q. Management does not provide any detailed
guidance/strategy for 2015 LINE. We are keeping our estimates pending
further review.
 4Q OP +27% y/y, sequentially below market expectations. Naver
reported +17%y/y top-line growth in 4Q. We believe labor and marketing
costs were well controlled in 4Q but OP missed 10%/15% of Street/JPM’s
forecast, consolidated OP margin edged down to 26.1% in 4Q.
 LINE monetization growth momentum remains intact but lackluster
MAU growth in 4Q. LINE gross revenue grew +17%q/q and +80%y/y to
W384B in 4Q, in line with our expectation. Especially, strong LINE ad rev
growth momentum (+43% q/q, +147% y/y) surprised on the upside,
indicating that LINE is successfully positioning itself as a strong ad
platform without monetizing Timeline traffic. Nevertheless, slower-thanexpected MAU growth in 4Q was a major disappointment.
 Lack of 2015 business guidance. Management does not provide much
detailed guideline/strategy for LINE in 2015. The key points to watch for
LINE include: (1) non-Japan user engagement growth trend beyond Tier 1
countries (Taiwan/Thailand/Indonesia), (2) new business development
(LINE Music/Pay/etc), (3) potential investment to further drive LINE’s
growth, (4) potential alliance with global Internet companies, (5) the
resurgence of LINE IPO issue. We are keeping our estimates pending further
review.

Higher than expected impairment; Dividend
disappoints
We expect PTTEP’s 4Q14 results to be taken negatively by the market with core earnings down c40%q/q,
driven by high DD&A, exploration and finance costs and lower output costs. FY14 core earnings of Bt55bn are
essentially in line with JPMe and consensus (Bloomberg) expectation. However, the company has disclosed an
impairment loss of US$1bn for Montara and Mariana Oil Sand project, which was higher than expected with its
legacy Cove Energy acquisition still not included in the impairment. PTTEP has also cut its dividend to Bt1.5/sh
vs our estimate of Bt2.5/sh which implies a payout of 23% in 2H14 vs 41% in 1H14 and 41% in 2013 based on
core net profit. Management will provide a business update later in the evening at 5:30PM.

Investment Thesis
PTTEP is Thailand's second biggest upstream petroleum producer. The company is gas-focused with liquids (crude oil and
condensate) accounting for less than 30% of total output. PTTEP is focused on oil and gas production in Thailand and
nearby Myanmar. However, in recent years, the company has ventured into other prospective countries including Vietnam,
Algeria, Canada and Australia. PTTEP’s current production capacity is ~340kBPD.
With PTTEP’s upstream bias, we see now more near-term downside risks not only from lower oil prices, but a reassessment of legacy deals which are likely to drag on profitability, high-cost fields such as Montara and potential
impairment risks for its stake in Mozambique post Cove Energy transaction.
Valuation
We have a Neutral rating on PTTEP with a Dec-15 price target of Bt100, based on our DCF valuation (WACC of 8.0%,
long-term oil price of US$90/bbl).

Potential net loss; impairment risks and dividend cut
PTTEP is expected to report 4Q14/FY14 this evening (29 Jan), and we forecast a net loss, given lower output
prices and potential impairment losses for Montara and Mariana Oil Sand projects. With PTTEP’s upstream
bias, we see now more near-term downside risk not only from lower oil prices, but a re-assessment of legacy
deals, which are likely to be a drag on profitability, high-cost fields such as Montara and potential impairment
risks for its stake in Mozambique post the Cove Energy transaction. We maintain Neutral with Dec-15 PT of
Bt100/sh (refer to our regional update).

Record production in 4Q14; high DD&A continues: We forecast PTTEP 4Q14 core earnings down c40%
q/q at Bt10 bn due to sharply weaker oil prices, exploration write-offs, higher DD&A due to higher sales
from Montara and a higher effective tax rate. PTTEP reported record high production of c345 kboe in 4Q14,
due to c315 mmscfd output from Zawtika and higher sales from Montara. However, Montara is expected to
be a drag on opex and DD&A in 4Q. PTTEP may write-off c10 exploration wells worth cUS$100 mn in 4Q.
PTTEP continued its 3-4 month forward hedging strategy and hedged c8mn liquids output at cUS$9095/bbl, which is likely to partially offset downside from lower ASPs. PTTEP may also report a higher
effective tax rate due to THB depreciation. We expect PTTEP to cut 2H14 dividend to Bt2.5/sh from Bt3/sh
in 2H13 (consensus estimates range from Bt1-3/sh).

Potential US$800-900 mn impairment losses: PTTEP is likely to report severe impairment losses for high
cost fields like Montara (US$1.7 bn book value) and Mariana Oil Sand (US$2bn book value) in 4Q, given a
deteriorated LT oil price outlook and delayed production in the case of Mariana. We estimate overall
impairment at cUS$800-900 mn. We do not rule out potential impairment for Mozambique assets and
further adjustments for Montara / Mariana, should oil prices decline substantially from current levels.

4Q Results: Good Impression from Swing to Profit,
Buyback Announcement
SEMCO swung to profit at the operating level in 4Q, also avoiding a red-ink result for 2014 as a whole. We continue to
expect sharp profit rebound in 2015 as earnings should continue to recover in 1Q with support from the quicker-thanexpected uptake of Galaxy S6 components and the likelihood that the new plant in Vietnam will begin fully contributing
from 2H. SEMCO also announced a share buyback with the results release. The buyback will encompass two million shares
(2.7% of shares outstanding) and KRW127.8 billion, with execution scheduled for January 30 to April 29).

4Q results: Operating profit totaled KRW34 billion, a strong swing to the black from 3Q’s KRW69 billion loss. As we
expected, SEMCO managed to avoid a loss for 2014 as a whole, recording profit of KRW1.7 billion (our forecast was
profit of KRW10 billion; the Bloomberg consensus was a loss of KRW45 billion). In addition to the Korean won
weakening versus the dollar, earnings benefited from new smartphones such as the Galaxy Note 4 and the iPhone 6. In
terms of products, the earnings rebound was apparently driven by camera modules with optical image stabilization,
high value-added flip-chip chip-scale packages, and MLCCs.

BPS rose sharply: Net profit in FY2014 totaled KRW502.7 billion, bolstered by the swing to profit at the operating
level and the sale of Samsung SDS shares. End-December 2014 shareholders’ equity rose to KRW4,642.8 billion as a
result, a 15% increase versus end-2013. Meanwhile, we estimate that the announced buyback of two million shares will
boost BPS to about KRW64,000, roughly on par with the current share price. That said, in our view the current share
price does not adequately reflect SEMCO’s prospects for earnings recovery from FY2015 onward.

A results briefing for analysts is scheduled for January 30, 16:00 Korea time.

4Q14 results: In line, but contraction continues
Samsung Engineering (SEG)’s 4Q14 results were largely in line with our
expectations, but its low-margin trends remained unchanged (OP margin at
1.0%). We see a continued contraction of its business as seen from its staff
restructuring, project completion delays, and decreased 2015 revenue
target. Coupled with the sluggish order environment affected by low oil
prices, we hardly expect a sharp rebound in the company’s operations in
the near term. We maintain our Underweight rating on the stock.
 In-line results, but weak bottom line. Sales came in at W2.3tn (-15%
y/y) with OP of W22bn (OPM of 1.0%), which was largely in line with
our estimates. Overseas GP margin fell to -2.9% (vs. 4.1% in 3Q14),
mainly on the back of additional provisions from Saudi Shaybah project
(W35bn). One-off impairment loss of W41bn (POSCO Plantec shares)
pressured the company’s bottom line, resulting in a net loss of W8bn.
 Contraction continues. SEG guided its 2015 sales at W8.0tn, down 10%
y/y from W8.9tn in 2014. The negative sales growth is mainly on the
back of decreased orderbook (W13tn in 4Q14 vs. W16tn in 2013) and
completion delays of overseas projects. Such contraction may seem
disappointing in the near term, but we believe this can be a long-term
positive driver, as it implies SEG’s focus has changed from growth to
earnings maintenance.
 Conservative 2015 guidance. Among the company’s W7tn order target,
SEG commented that around half of the orders are secured (including
W2tn of Samsung group orders). However, we think lowered oil prices
will increase uncertainties to its order achievements, as seen from the
recent project delays/cancellations (i.e., Qatar, Saudi Arabia). Meanwhile,
the company also targeted LNG plant orders (Texas LNG, Canada
Petronas LNG), which could become a new opportunity for SEG.
 Maintain UW with PT of W31,000. The key priority of SEG will be the
stability of its bottom line, due to the continued uncertainty of overseas
operations. We reiterate our cautious view on SEG.

4Q14 results: Harsh test of its offshore bias
Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) reported worse-than-expected results,
mainly from its offshore business. Delays in drillship delivery and low
margins of its Egina and Ichthys projects resulted in a revenue decline. We
believe a renewed focus on commercial ships will be the only solution, but
it will take time for SHI to solve the bottleneck issues in offshore
structures. We reiterate our Neutral rating with a Dec-15 PT of W26,000.
 Worse-than-expected results. 2014 revenue declined 13% YoY, with
an 80% fall in operating profit (1.4% OP margin vs. 6.2% in 2013).
Despite the major write-off in 1Q14, SHI failed to show a notable
improvement in 4Q14. Management said the falling margin came from 1)
a weaker sales contribution from drillships vs. rising revenue recognition
of Egina & Ichthys projects, and 2) delays in drillship delivery.
 All started with its offshore bias. SHI has been focusing on its
offshore business for years, but the key burden has been a lack of skilled
engineers and designers. Offshore projects require a 2-3 times greater
number of designers than commercial ships to generate the same
revenue. Securing such resources within 2-3 years was tough, and
shifting resources from commercial ship division was not enough.
 Return to commercial ships the only solution. We have been arguing
that a commercial ship focus is the only solution for SHI. Furthermore,
the tanker market is booming and SHI can find enough margin
opportunity. A commercial ship focus would give SHI better margins
than offshore structures together with proper utilization of its facilities.
But it will take some time as SHI is burdened with the higher cost base
from its offshore bias, and it will have to wait for shipbuilding designers
to return after they complete offshore projects.
 Maintain Neutral with Dec-15 PT of W26,000. We maintain our
Neutral rating, as we believe SHI’s slower operations as a result of
offshore projects will continue in the near term.

28 Jan 2015
Adjusted EBITDA fell 12% qoq and 15% yoy to US$713m in 4Q. This is 1/2% below JPMe/consensus, slight
miss but expected. Regarding dividend, Sands China, like its parent LVS, is now committed to increasing its
regular dividend each year (absolute term, not payout, in our view), which it believes is more reliable than
special dividends. Overall, there was no surprise from the result. See Table 1-3 for our detailed analysis on
operating metric.

The Good: (1) Mass outperformance: Group-wide mass GGR fell 9% qoq in 4Q, better than the peers’
c.11% decline (on like-for-like basis); (2) A record non-gaming: Non-gaming revenues grew 10% qoq and
6% yoy to a record US$427m, accounting for 17% of its gross revenues (vs. 13% a year ago); we estimate
this high-margin business has generated c.25% of the group’s EBITDA in 4Q, nearly double the size of VIP
profits; and (3) Regular DPS will keep rising. A commitment to “grow” regular dividend every year (5.0%
yield for CY15E, based on last closing price) could provide more predictable cash returns to shareholders
going forward, potentially reducing volatility in shares to a degree.

The bad: (1) A slight miss vs. expectations, albeit somewhat expected; (2) Weaker margin (especially at
Venetian): adjusted EBITDA margin edged down to 28.0% (based on gross revenues) from a record 28.7%
in 3Q. Favourable mix impact (mass/non-gaming was 67% of sales, vs. 64% in 3Q) was offset by negative
operating leverage and increased competition in prem mass; (3) Weak prem mass: prem mass GGR fell
18% yoy, significantly weaker than 2% decline in its base mass GGR, despite having 27% more tables. As a
result, Sands’ prem mass table yield edged down further to US$15.5k/day in 4Q, 40% below its peak
US$26.0k in 1Q14 (or, 12% qoq drop from US$17.6k in 3Q) (Table 1); (4) Even weaker VIP: Sands’ VIP
GGR dropped 18% qoq in 4Q (vs. the industry’s -7%) and its VIP table yield fell 20% qoq to only
US$24.0/day; and (5) Parisian now slated for “sometime in 2016”, vs. March 2016 for its previous fullopening guidance; we view the delay was caused from construction permit issue (now fully resolved) and is
not a commitment issue. Also, the new target is in-line with JPMe (3Q16E).

Other takeaways from the call: (1) Executive search. Sands China is conducting a search for its president
and COO, while the CEO position will remain with Mr. Sheldon Adelson; (2) Table constraints?
Management believes gaming table is not a constraint anymore (at least at this stage) given soft demand; (3)
Smoking ban. The Macau government appears to be making its final decision on a smoking ban, according
to management.

The bottom line: Obviously unexciting – to say the least – quarter, but we think most negatives were well
highlighted in advance, hence not a surprise. Going into 2015, we note two new (and arguably better)
properties are opening in its neighborhood, which will likely increase competition on Cotai, which has been
so far a stronghold of Sands. Sands trades at 18x 2015E P/E (based on Bloomberg’s 28-day consensus).

SESA.NS, SSLT IN
Price: Rs201.45
Strong results driven by Ally and Cu Tc/Rc; Ally prod
guidance sharply higher and implies upside risk to
FY16
SSLT reported EBITDA (Rs61.5bn v/s Rs58.5bn consensus) and PAT (Rs15.9bn
v/s Rs14.1bn consensus) beat driven by strong results at the copper smelting and
aluminum segments (which saw costs decline sharply q/q). Operational news flow
continues to improve as iron ore mining leases got renewed in Goa, and Karnataka
(forest clearance also received), while in power the consent to operate for
1200MW was received and hence Unit 1 (commercial) is under commissioning
while Unit II (captive) would be commissioned in Q1, allowing for further ramp
up ally production. From here, while the commodity price environment is a
headwind, the regulatory environment is improving. SSLT at the parent entity for
the last two quarters has EBITDA/Interest at 1.3x/1.7x and this should only
improve as iron ore, power and ally segments improve. We remain OW on SSLT.
 Sharp improvement in copper and ally drive EBITDA beat: Copper
reported another record EBITDA at Rs5.3bn (+15% q/q) driven by higher
product realizations and continued strong Tc-Rc. Ally segment reported +86%
y/y higher EBITDA at Rs8bn v/s JPMe Rs5.1bn driven by lower costs, mainly
coal. Zinc and oil were broadly in line, while power segment continued to suffer
from evacuation and demand issues with PLF only at 41%. The TSPL 1980MW
power plant saw the first unit being capitalized in the December quarter. Iron
ore segment was EBITDA positive with only pig iron operating.
 Regulatory news flow continues to improve: Iron ore leases have been
renewed in Goa and Karnataka and the receipt of forest approvals allows for
2.3MT annual mining at Karnataka to start (and thus EBITDA increase). We
expect Goa mining to also start in 2HFY16 once the export tax on lower grade
ores is removed. As per SSLT, at current iron ore prices, post all the duties,
levies, and grade discount, ASP would be $25/t and CoP pre ban was $25/t and
hence export duties need to be removed. The ramp up of the power plant at
Korba should allow higher ally production. SSLT remains a key beneficiary of
any potential improvement in the coal availability post the coal block auctions
as the ~$100/t q/q reduction in Ally CoP shows.
 Materially higher Aluminum production growth forecast implies upside
earnings risk for FY16: SSLT expects to exit FY16 with the 325Kt smelter at
BALCO fully ramped up. More importantly, SSLT guided that 2 lines of 4 lines
(1.25MT ally capacity) would be ramped up in FY16. We see material upside
risk for our FY16/17 total ally prod of 1.05/1.27MT post the company’s
comments today.

3Q Results: Buybacks Announced, Writebacks & Fees
Continue to Support
29 January 2015
Overweight
Price: ¥411
29 Jan 2015
Price Target: ¥580
SMTH reported Apr-Dec net income of ¥126.5bn (vs. cons ¥125.8bn) or 84% progress on FY CoE ¥150bn, and became the
second major bank to announce share buyback (¥20bn, 1% of shares or 10bp of capital, Jan to June 2015). We think this
is a forward move considering their target CET1 ratio of 10% is not yet in the bag (we estimate ~8.7% fully-phased at Dec14, unch’d from Sep-14 due to buyback of pref shares on Oct 1), although the shift to A-IRB will fill most of the gap at Mar15. More importantly, the buyback reflects the bank’s willingness to improve shareholder return and shows the bank’s
confidence in its business & earnings. Key supports to be aware of going into 4Q are: 1) ¥9bn Q/Q improvement as system
costs from 3Q fall off, 2) FY-end seasonality for a rise in corporate real estate transactions which has been a weak area
this year and 3) ¥16bn cushion in credit costs with ¥21bn writeback YTD vs. ¥5bn CoE. The business is not immune to
macro headwinds of low yields & sluggish demand, but the bank has been able to defend its NIM relatively well (-1bp
Q/Q) due to a fall in deposit yield, and ultimately impact from NIM decline is offset by fees from IT sales which is still
going strong at +10% Y/Y driven by wrap funds & insurance.

Fee income was in line with expectations overall, but details were mixed. About 60% of domestic fees are from IT &
insurance sales, and this is also the portion that continues to grow fast at +12% Y/Y, or 78% of progress to FY plans.
On the other hand, the factors behind a soft real estate brokerage in 1H continued to be present in 3Q, with some
corporates seeming to delay sale of property on expectation of real estate price rise & improving earnings. Although
real estate fees are up +¥0.5bn 3Q/3Q, plans were a more aggressive +¥5.7bn Y/Y, so some upside from IT &
insurance sales will offset this. Another offsetting strength is market gains with the bank taking ¥29bn bond gains in
3Q, having now taken profit on almost half their UST portfolio YTD.

Loan growth was a little disappointing in 3Q after a strong 1H, with overseas loans at +4.8% Q/Q despite 10% yen
depreciation over that time. Part of this was a strong base (1H +15% with just 1/3 from FX), another part was seasonal
with Japanese corporate demand tending to focus in 2Q and 4Q, but another part seems to be repayments from nonJapanese corporates. A silver lining is that NPL ratio improved sharply from 0.86% Sep-14 to 0.70% Dec-14, with
Substandard and Doubtful loans decreasing by about a fifth, which ties into the ¥6bn net writeback in Oct-Dec that will
be an earnings cushion into 4Q.

Finally, commodity exposure was ¥270bn or just 4% of overseas portfolio (¥190bn non-Japanese / ¥80bn Japanese),
most of which has ECA guarantee or sponsor support, and there was no Russia or peripheral European exposure except
¥6bn in Spain. Overall SMTH remains one of the highest quality retail & corporate portfolios around, and we expect
credit costs to come in well within CoE, supporting earnings & capital into 4Q, justifying today’s buyback.

Analyst meeting takeaways
WIKA analyst meeting takeaways and our views:

Orderbook and new contract forecasts are inline. Management’s forecast guidance on orderbook and
new contracts are in line with our estimates. 52% of the new contracts this year are expected from the
government. WIKA is optimistic that the signing of the government contracts will start in April FY15; and
the current e-catalogue to build and design system has proved to successfully bypass the bureaucracy.

Asset investments to continue. We believe that asset investment is adding pressure to WIKA’s balance
sheet at a time when the balance sheet needs to cope with strong contracts growth outlook. WIKA intends to
participate in equity for infrastructure assets to grow recurring income. The requirement for the investment
is minimum IRR of 5% above WACC and a payback period between 7 and 10 years. So far, investment in
power plant projects has been successful but tollroads investment performance has been poor.

Multiple corporate actions. WIKA’s cash flow from operations will turn negative for the first time since
the equity listing of its subsidiary WIKA Realty (85% owned by WIKA and 15% owned by employees’ coops) is scheduled in August 2015. Equity listing of subsidiary WIKA Gedung (99% owned by WIKA) is
planned in FY16. Equity rights issuance for WIKA is planned in FY17 pending government approval.

Reiterate UW, PT Rp2,500. We are concerned about the heightened competition landscape in Indonesia
E&C. We note the higher participation of foreign E&Cs in the tendering for infrastructure projects. Weak
energy prices might provide temporary support for profitability; however, there is an increased execution
risk for oil and gas contracts. We prefer pure E&C, i.e. STEC in Thailand, within ASEAN.

Philippine Strategy Flash
2014 GDP growth surprise sets tone for better 2015E growth
The upward revision of 2015E GDP growth forecasts following the better-than-expected 4Q14 GDP growth
print and the material monetary policy flexibility amid easing inflation and softness in oil prices reinforces the
positive macro story of the Philippines; we expect this to continue supporting the strong performance of the
equity market. We reiterate our OW call on the Philippines with preference for consumer, gaming, and
consumer-focused property names.

2014 GDP growth surprises on the upside, paves the way for 2015E GDP growth upgrades. A recovery
in gov’t spending (+9.8% oya), above 5% oya in private consumption, and a strong 8.1% oya investments
growth led to the better-than-expected 6.9% oya GDP growth in 4Q14. This lifted full year growth to 6.1%
oya, the second fastest growth rate in Asia (JPMe: 5.2% oya, consensus: 6.0% oya). The JPM Economics
Team revised their 2015E GDP growth estimate from 5.4% oya to 6.4% oya. Please see Sin Beng Ong’s
Philippines: Bumper 4Q14 GDP sets tone for positive 2015 – oil provides material policy flex,
penciling in 2H15 cut for more details. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), on the other hand, stated that “it
will refresh its forecasts to include the impact of the strong 2014 GDP growth, oil price expectations, shifts
in interest differential, and global investment sentiment.”.
Table 1: Philippines Quarterly GDP Breakdown
Source: J.P. Morgan Economics Research.

Recovery of gov’t spending is a welcome development. In our view, the key highlight of the GDP print
was the recovery of gov’t spending in 4Q14 which assuages concerns regarding the potential pull factor
from the gov’t infra spending bottlenecks. The government has explicitly committed that it has already taken
concrete measures to accelerate spending this year and is guiding that it will perform better over the next
twelve months. We remain confident on growth over the next few quarters as consumption remains robust
and the government is expected to accelerate spending ahead of the 6-month moratorium on project
approvals prior to the May 2016 national elections.
30 January 2015
China City Gas Distributors
News of potential gas cost cut a positive
 Gas cost cut in 1Q2015? As reported by Bloomberg, Chi Guojing, Secretary
General at China Gas Association, China may reduce prices for incremental
natural gas supplies in 1Q2015 in light of the narrowing price gap between
natural gas and other competing fuels (e.g., LPG and fuel oil). This follows
recent news (Bloomberg, Jan 9) where another industry expert (Bai Jun, Vice
Chairman of China Natural Gas Industry Association) also expected a price cut
on incremental gas supplies (Rmb0.15/m3, or 5-6%), while prices for existing
gas supplies will increase by Rmb0.3/m3 (~10%) to align with incremental gas
supplies.
 Background: The NDRC raised city gate natural gas prices in July 2013 where
prices for incremental gas supplies were set at a level equal to 85% of the cost
of alternative fuels in (60% fuel oil /40% LPG mix) in 2H2012. No price
changes were made on incremental gas supplies since then.
 What if we “mark to market”? Our calculations suggest that, if we roll
forward price levels of alternative fuels (based on actual imported prices into
China) from Aug 2012 to Aug 2014, incremental natural gas prices will decrease
by 6% (see table on next page); If prices were to be further adjusted down to
crude oil price equivalents of US$50/bbl to US$90/bbl, incremental natural gas
prices would decrease by 19% to 55%, respectively. Assuming (1) no price
changes on existing gas supplies and (2) incremental gas supplies account for
~20% of the nation’s total gas supplies, weighted average natural gas city gate
prices will be adjusted to 4-11% based on a crude oil price of US$50 – 90 / bbl.
 Relief to stagnant gas demand: It remains to be seen if a gas cost cut will
eventually materialize. But in the event of a gas cost cut, it will be a relief to city
gas distributors given the weakening gas demand growth after the gas cost hike
in Aug 2014. As a reference, gas supply growth (proxy for demand) in China
slowed to 9% Y/Y in Sep to Dec 2014.
 Operation update: We believe most listed city gas distributors only suffered a
mild slowdown (vs. 1H2014 levels) after the gas cost hikes in 2H2014.
 Gas cost cut a positive: Share prices of listed city gas distributors have
underperformed by 12-50% since July 2014 amidst gas cost hikes and falling oil
prices. A potential gas cost hike will be a positive to the market, especially for
operators which already suffered weak demand growth in 1H2014 (CR Gas).

China SMID Ideas
Feedback from China SMID Caps 1X1 Forum
Stick with high quality names going into results season
SMID-Caps
AC
 Our discussions with over 20 SMID Caps over the past two weeks
suggest that there is plenty of value in defensive SMID Caps and it’s too
early to jump into cyclical ones that might miss earnings. Profit alerts of
60-80% FY14 earnings growth by Xinyi Solar and PAX Global are
encouraging whereas many heavy industrial SMIDs saw disappointing
sales and inventory write-downs in 2HFY14.
Leon Chik, CFA
Most important SMID news
 Euro no problem. The sharp drop in the Euro has caused some
concerns over exporters. What we see amongst leading SMID exporters
is that they are good at hedging Euro risks through natural and financial
hedges but hedges on Renminbi and commodities tend to be more
complex or costly and therefore relatively unhedged. Both falling raw
material and depreciating Renminbi might help boost margins of SMID
exporters considerably in 1H15. Top exporter picks TTI, Johnson
Electric and Shenzhou.

 Pre-earnings season jitters – warnings and alerts are coming fast and
we prefer to avoid cyclical stocks because the drop in oil and metals
prices could cause a leg down on inventory adjustments in 2014 before
the benefits flow to 2015 P/L.

Idea of the week

We seeing growing appreciation for Skyworth’s brand and network as
the largest TV brand in China sees its share price approach a 12-month
high. New refrigerator, air-con, air purifiers and third party logistics
will all likely add to sales growth and operating leverage is high as
network and branding are sunk costs.

China Steel Sector
Mid-January CISA output falls ahead of CNY
 Mid-Jan CISA output down 5.1% ahead of CNY. According to CISA, daily
crude steel output from large and mid-sized mills (CISA’s 92 members) fell
5.1% to 1.69Mtpd in mid-Jan, or 618Mtpa (versus 651Mpta in early Jan). This
came as some mills had already sent workers off ahead of CNY amid soft
demand. Assuming non-CISA mills account for c28% of total output (as in
Dec), we estimate that national output may have fallen 5.1% to 857Mtpa in midJan (CISA’s Dec output of 872mt). This leaves China’s steel output in Jan at
74.8Mt (+14.2% y/y) at current run rates.
 Steel inventory restocking while ports’ iron ore stockpiles fall. In mid-Jan,
both producer and trader stocks jumped by 8.3% to 14.8 Mt (early Jan: 13.6Mt)
and by 6.2% to 10.7Mt (early Jan: 10.1Mt), respectively. Taken together, we
estimate CISA mills and traders now hold 13.5 days (early Jan: 13.2 days) of
steel inventories, above trend level of 14.2 days. On the raw materials side, midJan iron ore stocks at mills climbed to 22.4 days (early Jan: 21.8 days), above
the historical level of 27 days. Nonetheless, stocks at Chinese ports continue to
fall, now at 99.8Mt (34 days, historically 32 days), down from 100.2 Mt in early
Jan. We estimate seaborne iron ore prices are 17% cheaper (late Dec: 14%) than
domestic market. We note that utilization rate at domestic iron ore mines drifted
lower to 53% in mid-Jan (early Jan: 54%), well below 1H14 average of c80%.
Coking coal mines’ utilization rate fell to 83% (early Jan: 84%) in mid-Jan.
 Cash spreads keep sliding as steel prices fall. Sentiment amongst steel mills
and traders improved somewhat. That said, lower steel prices pushed cash
spreads for HRC and rebar lower to Rmb1,425/t (Rmb1,493/t in early Jan) and
Rmb1,303/t (Rmb1,353/t in early Jan) respectively. With slow construction in
1Q and weak cash spreads, we remain cautious on the sector but see better riskreward for Maanshan.

China’s steel output from large and mid-sized mills (CISA members) fell 5.1% to
618Mtpa in mid-Jan (from 651Mtpa in early Jan) as output begins to slow ahead
of Chinese New Year (CNY) and mills respond to weak demand conditions. Near
term, the recent removal of boron-added steel export rebates and weak macro
readings will keep domestic steel markets under pressure with cash spreads
trending lower in the seasonally slower 1Q period. We recently turned more
cautious on the sector, but see some support from likely macro stimulus and
tighter environmental policies.

Dry Bulk Shipping
Capesize earnings rose, mainly driven by higher iron
ore shipping demand to China; port congestion fell







The BDI fell 3% w/w as higher Capesize freight rates were more than
offset by lower rates across vessel segments: Capesize earnings surged
49% w/w to $9.9K/day for the week ending Jan 23, mainly driven by
increased activity in the Pacific. However, Panamax earnings fell 12% w/w
to $5.2K/day. The Supramax/Handysize index fell 9% w/w. No period
fixture was done last week versus two period fixture done at $12.5/day for
11-14 months in the previous week. The one-year Capesize time-charter
rate fell 2% w/w to $11.5K/day (source: Clarksons).
Forward curve points to higher rates from 2Q15: FFA indications for
Capesize time-charter are at $8.5K/day in 2Q15 (current: $7.7K/day), $10.4K in
3Q15 and $14.4K in 4Q15. FFA for Panamax TC are at $7.4K/day for 2Q15
(current: $5.6K/day), $7.3K in 3Q15, $8.3K/day in 4Q15. FFA for Supramax
TC are at $7.9K/day for 2Q15 (current: $6.9K/day), $7.9K in 3Q15, $8.8K/day
in 4Q15. FFA for Handysize TC are at $6.0K/day for 1Q15 (current:
$6.0K/day), $7.1K in 2Q15, $7.4K/day for CY2016 (source: Clarksons, SSY).
Capesize ship chartering activity held fairly steady w/w at 39 vessels during
the week but were 11% higher y/y. 82% will carry iron ore (vs 46% a week ago),
18% coal (49%) and 0% unknown (5%). Jan-Dec 2014 split: 76% iron ore (vs
69% in 2013), coal 18% (23%), others 6% (8%).
Iron ore shipping demand to China rose while coal shipping demand fell:
64% of the Capesize vessels were chartered to carry cargo to China (vs 59% a
week ago), 92% carrying iron ore (from 70%) and 8% coal (30%). Europe’s
share of shipping demand fell to 21% (from 26%) while Rest of Asia’s share
rose to 15% (from 13%) and Others’ fell to 0% (3%). In Jan-Dec 2014, the
split was China 71% (vs 70% in 2013), rest of Asia 14% (16%), Europe 14%
(13%), other 1% (1%).
Ship chartering activity rose in the Handysize segment but fell in the
other vessel segments: In the Panamax spot market, the number of ships
chartered fell 20% w/w to 44 vessels with coal/grain shipping demand driving
36%/27% of the ships chartered. The number of ships chartered fell 29% w/w
in the Handymax segment but rose 100% in the Handysize segment.
Global ports congestion fell w/w: 155 Capesizes were at anchorage, 12%
lower w/w or c.9% of the global Capesize fleet. Details: 1) Australia’s main
coal/ore ports – 125 (from 133) vessels plus 191 (from 187) vessels arriving in
the next 14 days. 2) Brazil – 20 (from 26) vessels at anchorage. 3) China’s
major ore & coal berths – 40 (49) vessels at anchorage plus 64 (from 54)
vessels arriving in the next 14 days (source: Global ports as at Jan 29).
Global bulk shipping capacity rose 0.1% m/m to 756.2MM dwt as at Jan 1.
This is the 30th month of a ≤1% m/m rise, resulting in a 4.8% growth in full year
2014, in line with our forecast and well below the 10% growth implied by the
vessel order book at the start of this year. Scrapping removed 305 ships and
15.9MM dwt in 2014 (or c.2.1% of global capacity). The dry bulk shipping sector
recovery could be delayed till late 2015 or early 2016 but we see opportunities to
accumulate oversold stocks ahead of any pick-up in demand. Top picks: Mitsui
OSK (0.7x P/B, 67% below historical average valuation), Pacific Basin (0.6x P/B,
49% below), Precious Shipping (1.0x P/B, 42% below).

Full-smoking ban on the horizon? Our quick-and-dirty impact analysis

What’s happened? Macau’s Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture (a.k.a. Health Bureau), Alexis Tam, said
yesterday that government may submit a bill for full smoking ban inside casinos during 1H15, which would include
VIP rooms. He also noted that the bill is unlikely to pass during this legislative year, even if it were submitted in 1H15,
considering likely long debate on the bill. Of note, next legislative session runs during October 2015 to August 2016.

It was just a matter of time, we (& the market) think. During his press interview in December, Mr. Tam already
discussed a possibility of new and “tighter” smoking ban from March 2015; since then, we believe it has been a
consensus in the market as well as the industry that full smoking ban is inevitable and just a matter of timing.

How bad would it be?: In any case, full smoking ban, if enacted, would hurt gaming demand; this is also just a matter
of how bad it’s going to be and how long the impact would last. It’s impossible to accurately predict the potential
impact, we admit. Still, our two cents below:
(1) Case study. Impact from smoking ban has varied substantially across jurisdictions, depending on cultural
background, availability of alternative jurisdiction, propensity to gamble vs. smoke, etc. That said, smoking ban
has generally reduced gaming revenues by c.10~20% for the first full year, if we look at the cases in the U.S.
and Australia (e.g. Colorado, Illinois, Delaware, Victoria, etc). This however appears to have been followed by a
gradual recovery, as the players adapt and adjust to new rule.
(2) Not all gamblers are created equal. But, we argue the impact for Macau should be smaller than above, taking
into account that Macau casinos are “destination casinos” and have no other alternative, not to mention the
mainlanders’ high propensity to gamble. For instance, we estimate Macau’s recent smoking ban on mass segment
has negatively impacted mass table revenues by less than 10%, based on our conversations with operators.
(3) Our best guesstimates on potential impact. We believe potential full smoking ban could have similar ~10%
impact on VIP and “reclassified” premium mass revenues. Therefore, considering these two segments collectively
generated 62% of total gaming revenues in recent month (Exhibit 1), potential full-smoking ban could hurt
gaming demand by 5~6%, based on our back-of-the-envelope calculation (c.60% x ~10%). Impact on operators’
profits however should be smaller, given relatively lower margin for those segments (vs. grind mass or nongaming) and a potential return of some junket VIP players (as junkets would lose its competitive edge in smoking
tables).
(4) Impact for six operators. If full smoking ban happens, we think potential impact should be the smallest for
Sands China by big margin, as it generated only 39% of GGR (& much smaller profits) from smoking-enabled
tables in December (Chart below). On the other hands, we note MPEL and MGM are most exposed to such
segments.

Thai banks
Solid liquidity; funding cost to stay low for longer with
further downside possible
 We forecast stable NIM for FY15 but see upside potential. The amount
of excess liquidity is at a record high. This suggests very low pressure
on funding costs. No cut in benchmark rates means no pressure on asset
yield. This is positive for NIM outlook. Loan expansion, esp. into SME
and housing, should differentiate the NIM trend for each individual
bank. Among the major banks, KTB and BBL have lower LDRs
implying better NIM outlook vs SCB and KBANK. However, for BBL
with its corporate lending focus, NIM is not expected to move much.

 The Bank of Thailand decided to hold the policy rate steady at 2.0% at
yesterday’s meeting, given the view that the domestic economy is
recovering and public spending/investment will accelerate through the
year. Also, the MPC cited lower oil prices bringing inflation down
below its target and increasing policy flexibility. We believe monetary
direction will remain in ‘easing’ mode with 1) lower oil price & inflation
2) concerns on growth 3) debt burden of low-income households.
 We saw funding costs at a lower level during the pre-GFC period. A few
comparisons between then and now: 1) LDR (plus) is similar to then, 2)
funding cost is also similar, 3) the oil price is lower, 4) US QE is ending,
but EU, Japan and China are seeing monetary expansion, and 5) the
absence of aggressive competition from SFI. This makes us believe there
is potential upside on NIM for banks, especially for ones that expand
loans in non-corporate areas. SME and housing loans are two major areas
of growth we see for the year.

Explanation of Equity Research Ratings, Designations and Analyst(s) Coverage Universe:
J.P. Morgan uses the following rating system: Overweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will outperform the average total return
of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Neutral [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will perform in
line with the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Underweight [Over the next six to twelve months,
we expect this stock will underperform the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Not Rated (NR):
J.P. Morgan has removed the rating and, if applicable, the price target, for this stock because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal,
regulatory or policy reasons. The previous rating and, if applicable, the price target, no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a
recommendation or a rating. In our Asia (ex-Australia) and U.K. small- and mid-cap equity research, each stock’s expected total return is compared to the
expected total return of a benchmark country market index, not to those analysts’ coverage universe. If it does not appear in the Important Disclosures section
of this report, the certifying analyst’s coverage universe can be found on J.P. Morgan’s research website, www.jpmorganmarkets.com.
