Malaysia Strategy
Malaysia│Equity research│January 28, 2016 Strategy Note ▎Malaysia Malaysia Strategy 2016 Revised Budget Highlighted companies Gamuda ADD, TP RM5.43, RM4.45 close Gamuda potentially provides the biggest exposure to MRT 2. Budget revision continues to focus on public transport, which is positive, and could bump up its order book by more than 7x by mid 2016. MY E.G. Services ADD, TP RM2.83, RM2.19 close The biggest winner, government announced that illegal foreign workers are now able to secure proper working permits. The company was appointed by the government in 2015 to register illegal foreign workers. RHB Capital Bhd ADD, TP RM8.50, RM5.03 close RHB Capital is our top pick for Malaysian banks given (1) the benefits from the IGNITE 17 transformation programme, (2) cost savings from its Career Transition Scheme in 2016 onwards, (3) the aspiration for regional expansion in the longer term, and (4) attractive valuation. ■ The biggest surprise to us was the 3% cut in employee contributions to the EPF. This is positive as it would boost private consumption by RM8bn annually. ■ Biggest winner is MyEG, the government is giving illegal foreign workers the chance to get proper working permits. In 2015, MyEG was appointed to register the illegals. ■ ■ Other winners are the consumer, media, gaming and aviation sectors. ■ Keep end-2016 KLCI target of 1,900. Bullish on banks, construction & small caps. Biggest loser is the telco sector as the government is looking to raise revenue through a spectrum auction. Neutral impact on the stock market We are neutral about the impact of the Revised Budget on the stock market. Potential winners in the consumer, media, gaming and aviation sectors may be offset by one major loser, the telco sector. The big three telco players stand to lose the most as they may have to pay substantial amounts of cash in a spectrum auction. Reducing employee EPF contribution by 3% We are positive with the government’s move to reduce the employees’ contribution to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) by 3% effective in Mar 16 to Dec 17. This should boost private consumption expenditure by RM8bn annually, says the government. Biggest winner is MyEG MyEG is the biggest winner. The government has agreed to implement the rehiring programmes, which would give illegal foreign workers the opportunity to secure working permits to remain in the country legally. There are 2.5m legal workers and 4m-5m illegal workers in Malaysia now. Registration of illegal workers would enable the government to keep track of the number of foreign workers needed in the country. MyEG is responsible for the registration of the illegal workers. Sector and stock top picks unchanged We think that the 2016 Revised Budget will be neutral on the stock market. We maintain our end-2016 KLCI target of 1,900pts, based on an unchanged 2017 P/E of 16.5x. Our top sectors remain banking, construction and small caps. The construction sector should remain positive in 2016 as the work on major infrastructure projects should continue as planned. Selected small-cap stocks still offer superior earnings growth.

This is a negative surprise for the sector, as our recent conversation with the Malaysian Communications And Multimedia Commission (MCMC) suggested that the regulator was quite happy and did not intend to disrupt the good progress made by the existing mobile operators in building out their mobile data networks. A spectrum auction could result in the incumbent mobile operators forking out substantial cash to retain or acquire more 900MHz and 1800MHz spectrum. The initial 900MHz/1800MHz spectrum licence terms expired several years ago and are now renewed on an annual basis. Currently, the 900MHz spectrum is concentrated in the hands of Maxis and Celcom, while the 1800MHz spectrum is evenly distributed among the Big 3 mobile operators. There has never been a spectrum auction in Malaysia, as all spectrum were allocated on a “beauty contest” (3G-2.1GHz) or assignment (4G-2.6GHz) basis, with minimal upfront payment charged for the spectrum. Based on the recent spectrum auctions in Thailand, the reserve price for the 900MHz spectrum was set at THB12.9bn for 2 x 10MHz (each licence), or RM2.2m per MHz (paired) per million population. For the 1800MHz spectrum, the reserve price was THB15.9bn for 2 x 15MHz (each licence), or RM1.8m per MHz (paired) per million population. Figure 4: Spectrum holdings of Malaysian telcos Spectrum (MHz) 900 1800 2100 2600 Total Maxis 850 16.0 25.0 15.0 10.0 66.0 Celcom 17.0 25.0 15.0 10.0 67.0 DiGi 2.0 25.0 15.0 10.0 52.0 15.0 10.0 25.0 U Mobile 2300 Asiaspace 15.0* YTL 15.0* 10.0 25.0 15.0* 10.0 35.0 12.5* 10.0 22.5 20.0 20.0 P1/TM 10.0 REDTone Altel 15.0 * WIMAX/Broadband Wireless Access spectrum. Divided by 2 to reflect FDD equivalent SOURCES: CIMB, COMPANY REPORTS Assuming that the MCMC uses the Thailand reserve prices as the benchmark, the reserve price for the total 2 x 35MHz of 900MHz spectrum would be RM2.3bn and for the total 2 x 75MHz of 1800MHz spectrum would be RM4.0bn. Based on these estimated reserve prices, the minimum that Maxis, Celcom and DiGi would have to pay to retain their 900/1800MHz spectrum are RM2.37bn, RM2.43bn and RM1.46bn, respectively. This would shave 4.7% off our target prices for Maxis, 4.2% for Axiata and 3.8% for DiGi. The final prices for the spectrum would depend on the terms of the auction (e.g. spectrum caps, size of spectrum blocks, auction method) and the ferocity of the bidding during the auction. During the recent Thai spectrum auctions, the final spectrum prices were 2.5x (1800MHz) to nearly 6x (900MHz) higher than the reserve prices due to intense bidding. If we assume that the Malaysian 3 Malaysia│Equity research│January 28, 2016 spectrum auctions have the same disastrous outcome, we estimate that Maxis, Celcom and DiGi would have to fork out RM9.55bn, RM9.94bn and RM4.11bn, respectively, to retain their existing 900MHz/1800MHz spectrum holdings. In this case, our target prices for Maxis, Axiata and DiGi would have to be cut by 19.0%, 17.0% and 10.6%, respectively. While we admit that it is very difficult to predict the final auction outcome, we believe that the bidding would not be as intense as those of the Thai auctions as: (1) the existing Malaysian players have been relatively rational in their past market actions, and 2) a new entrant is unlikely, as the market is less attractive than Thailand’s and overcrowded, with five active players (including TM-P1). An alternative scenario is that the mobile incumbents could lose spectrum to smaller existing operators (TM-P1, U Mobile, YES) that outbid them. In this scenario, the mobile incumbents would have to spend more capex to re-tune and build network capacity to make up for any loss of spectrum. The smaller operators could also become increasingly aggressive as their opex/capex efficiency improves with the additional spectrum. In conclusion, among the Big 3 operators, we believe that Maxis and Celcom stand to lose the most as they may have to pay substantial amounts of cash to retain their large spectrum holdings. They may also risk losing some 900MHz spectrum, which would cause degradation in network coverage (especially inbuilding). Although DiGi could secure more 900MHz spectrum through the auction (which would be beneficial for its network coverage), we believe that it would have to fork out a lot of cash to outbid Maxis and Celco, in order to wrestle some spectrum from them. Foong Choong Chen +60 (3) 2261-9081 – [email protected] Aviation The airline sector could benefit from the government's move to facilitate the entry of foreign tourists by way of the eVisa scheme, which will be extended to "several countries which have been identified". Also, tourists from China will no longer require a visa to visit Malaysia from 1 March to 31 December 2016 for a period of stay not exceeding 15 days, "subject to specific conditions". The Prime Minister's (PM) speech did not identify the specific conditions relating to visa-free Chinese travel, but this measure will certainly help boost Chinese tourist inflows into Malaysia. Chinese tourist flows into Malaysia dipped into negative yoy territory in April 2014, after the MH370 crash on 8 March 2014. It only recovered to positive yoy territory in May 2015, due to the low-base effect. In fact, Chinese tourist arrivals into Malaysia remained disappointing in 2015. In 3Q15, 501,122 Chinese visitors entered Malaysia, up 20.2% yoy against 3Q14’s 416,887, but this was still 1% lower compared to the 505,721 Chinese visitors in 3Q13. So, the hard reality is that Chinese tourism into Malaysia has not yet fully recovered from the effects of MH370. 4 Malaysia│Equity research│January 28, 2016 Figure 5: Chinese tourist arrivals into Malaysia Change (yoy %) Chinese Tourist Arrivals into Malaysia 70.0% 200,000 60.0% 180,000 50.0% 160,000 40.0% 140,000 30.0% 120,000 20.0% 100,000 10.0% 80,000 0.0% 60,000 -10.0% -20.0% 40,000 -30.0% 20,000 0 -40.0% Jan-12 Jul-12 Jan-13 Jul-13 Jan-14 Jul-14 Jan-15 Jul-15 SOURCES: CIMB, CEIC The biggest beneficiaries will be the airlines that have the largest capacity to China, i.e. AirAsia (38% share of seat capacity), AirAsia X (22% share), Malaysia Airlines (15% share), followed by the Chinese airlines like China Southern. In January 2016, AirAsia started flights from Kota Kinabalu to Wuhan (7x weekly) and from Penang to Guangzhou (4x weekly). AirAsia also launched flights from KL to Changsha (4x weekly) in October 2015 and took over flights from KL to Chongqing (7x weekly) from AirAsia X beginning July 2015. China is AirAsia's single largest international exposure, comprising 87.6m available seat kilometres (ASKs) in the week of 25-31 January 2016, or 19.4% of its international ASK capacity. With two-thirds of AirAsia's ASK capacity now deployed on international routes, China therefore, accounts for 13% of AirAsia's system-wide ASK capacity. Malaysia Airports (MAHB) will also be a beneficiary of potential growth in Chinese tourist traffic. MAHB disclosed that China accounted for 7.9% of MAHB’s total passenger traffic in 2014, and this proportion would have increased in 2015. Any increase in MAHB’s traffic will be very helpful, as its operating costs are largely fixed.

In addition, the authorities have agreed to implement the rehiring programmes, which would give illegal foreign workers the opportunity to secure legal working permits. The rehiring programmes are positive for MyEG, as the company was appointed to register illegal foreign workers in 2015. There are 2.5m legal foreign workers and 4m-5m illegal foreign workers in Malaysia now, based on our estimates. Our earnings forecasts for MyEG assume that 1m illegal foreign workers will be registered in 2016. There is potential for upward revision in our FY16-18 EPS forecasts if the company registers more than 1m illegal workers over the next few months. Nigel Foo +60(3)2261-9069 – [email protected] Banking & Finance The government has reduced the employee contribution to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) by 3% in Mar-16 to Dec-17. However, the contribution by employers will remain the same. This measure is expected to increase private consumption expenditure by RM8bn a year, according to the PM. The potential increase in private consumption resulting from the reduction in employee contribution to the EPF would help to support the banks’ fee income growth. Even if the additional disposal income is not “spent”, it would be kept in the banks as deposits. This would help to ease the tight liquidity in the banking system. The government/Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) will ensure that there is sufficient liquidity in the financial system. Recently, BNM announced a reduction in statutory reserve requirement (SRR) from 4% to 3.5%. We are encouraged that the government specifically addressed the issue of tight liquidity in the banking system and will take steps to ease banks’ liquidity problems. This could involve further reduction in SRR. We estimate that a 50bp 6 Malaysia│Equity research│January 28, 2016 reduction in SRR would inject additional liquidity of about RM6bn into the banking industry. Winson Ng, CFA +60(3) 22619071- [email protected] Construction Major projects with high multiplier effects and pro-growth that are earmarked under Budget 2016 will be sustained, in spite of the depressed oil price environment. This is in line with our expectations and ties in with our earlier checks on the ground. The PM said that development expenditure (DE) will continue to be focused on affordable housing, schools, roads, security and most importantly, public transport, including projects under the private sector. He also said that projects that are still under study, which have not passed the approval and tender stage will be rescheduled (meaning deferred or delayed, given the relatively-low priority). We reiterate that c.90% of the jobs in the original Budget 2016 list are of high priority. The PM did not list the specific projects that will be deferred but we suspect that they will be projects that cost less than RM1bn each. Major highway projects like SUKE and DASH should continue, as these are led by Prolintas (private sector). No change to the implementation of key projects such as MRT 2 dan LRT 3. Pan-Borneo Highway is also still on the cards. Petronas's RAPID project will continue and the KL-Singapore high-speed rail (HSR) project will proceed, after completing the request for information (RFI) in late 2015. The HSR's original target for international tender is 4Q16 - this timeline is still a moving target. There was no mention of how the Chinese infra contractors will aid the funding of other major jobs. This was within our expectations. Good news for Gamuda, and other contractors that are set to win MRT 2 packages starting in 2Q16. Gamuda is our top pick among the big caps. This is also positive news for Muhibbah Engineering, which is vying for jobs in Rapid. Muhibbah is our top pick among the small-to-mid caps in the sector. We expect more good news, given the expectation of strong momentum in sector awards newsflow in 2Q16 onwards. General share price weakness from earlier concerns of delays and deferment is good for selective buying opportunities. Sharizan ROSELY +60(3) 2261-9077 – [email protected] Consumer Liberalising import quotas or approved permits (APs) on eight agricultural products for a temporary period to ensure consistent supply, establishing markets or MyFarm Outlets that will sell agricultural products at 5-20% below market prices for the ‘rakyat’ (population), reducing the employee contribution to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) by 3% in Mar 16 to Dec 17; and special tax relief of RM2,000 to individual taxpayers with monthly income of RM8,000 and below for 2015. The reduction in the employee contribution to EPF and special tax relief are positive for the consumer sector. Given the current softer consumer sentiment environment, following the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implementation and higher living costs, we believe that these measures and initiatives will increase the lower-to-middle income households' disposable income, as well as stimulate overall consumer spending. This, we believe, will lead to gradual recovery in domestic consumption in 2016. 7 Malaysia│Equity research│January 28, 2016 Education Scholarships under four Public Service Department (JPA) for 2016 will continue: (1) National Scholarship Programme, (2) Engineering Special Programme, (3) Bursary Programme, and (4) scholarships for 8,000 students to pursue undergraduate degrees locally. The National Higher Education Fund Loan (PTPTN) allocation of RM5bn to undergraduates will remain. Offers to enroll in MyMaster programmes will be raised by 15,000, MyPhd by 5,000 and IPTA (public universities) Academic Training Scheme by 300. The government will boost the education allocation by RM300m in 2016. MyBrain1 and the Bumiputera Academic Training Scheme will be continued. The continuation of PTPTN’s RM5bn allocation is positive for private colleges and universities. However, the government did not give any indication on Prestariang’s potential PISA teachers and students training project. Nonetheless, we believe that the government will continue to focus on the PISA teachers training project in 2016, as it wants to inculcate higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in teachers and students. We expect more developments on the PISA training project in 2Q16. Nigel Foo +60(3)2261-9069 – [email protected] Gaming sector The visa waiver for Chinese tourists is marginally positive for Genting Malaysia. Although 70% of visitors to Genting Highlands were day trippers, Chinese tourists have been coming back gradually since the MH370 incident and more than half of the Chinese tourists that enter Malaysia end up visiting Genting Highlands. The 3% drop in EPF contribution by employees will benefit Only World Group (OWG) as it will encourage more domestic tourism spending. Other beneficiaries are the number forecast operators (NFOs) like Magnum and Berjaya Sports Toto, as the discretionary spending power of Malaysian consumers will rise. Marcus Chan, CFA +60(3) 2261-9070 – [email protected] Property For all new housing projects, the government mandates that all houses priced up to RM300,000 be limited to first-time house buyers only, with immediate effect. This measure, in our opinion, will have limited impact on the property developers. For one thing, houses launched by most listed developers are priced above RM300,000 per unit. In the Klang Valley, even studio or SOHO units are sold at prices close or above RM400,000 per unit. For another, the developers may be able to circumvent this ruling by pricing their units above RM300,000 per unit but offer big discounts to lower the net selling price below the threshold. We believe that this measure will benefit first-time homebuyers in the suburbs, as certain houses in these areas are still sold at RM300,000 per unit or lower.

MGM China Holdings ADD, TP HK$17.16, HK$9.29 close Given MGM China’s low fixed costs on an absolute basis, the operator is likely to be the first to see positive operating leverage when industry revenues recover. ■ Jan gross gaming revenue (GGR) reached MOP18.7bn (-21% yoy, +2% mom), higher than our expectation of -27% yoy. ■ We forecast Feb GGR of MOP20.5bn (+5% yoy, +10% mom), the first positive yoy growth after 20 consecutive months of declines. ■ Maintain Neutral on the sector. Stick to defensive names like Sands. Jan above our estimates ● Jan GGR of MOP18.7bn (-21% yoy, +2% mom) exceeded our expectations. ● For Feb, we forecast GGR of MOP20.5bn (+5% yoy, +10% mom) which is similar with the monthly GGR totals from recent major holiday months in China, i.e. May and Oct 2015. Feb will likely be the first month of positive yoy GGR growth since May 2014. Sands China ADD, TP HK$34.65, HK$26.80 close Sands China’s dividends are the most stable among all gaming operators, making the stock relatively more defensive. ● Macau gaming stocks are likely to stay volatile as the stocks tend to react to shortterm news flow which can be unpredictable. Overall, we remain sector Neutral. Recently, sector valuations have rebounded 13% off their lows in mid-Jan and are now trading at 10x Bloomberg consensus EV/EBITDA, i.e. 1 s.d. below the sector’s 4year average.

The general expectation is for this year’s visitation to be maintained at least at a similar level as last year with stronger visitation weighted towards the first half of the holiday period. ● From our channel checks, we did not hear of any discounting for hotels or tour packages for the upcoming holidays with room rates at least twice as much as during off-season periods, which indicate good demand. ● The Lunar New Year holidays in China are from 7 Feb to 13 Feb. But some higher spending players typically travel to Macau post the actual holidays to avoid the crowds. Hence, the Lunar New Year gaming impact can last for multiple weeks.

Page 1 of 2 31 December 2015 CIMB-Principal Global Titans Fund A S S E T MA N A GE ME N T FUND MANAGER'S REPORT PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS The Fund fell 0.59% during the month of December 2015, outperforming the benchmark by 0.39%. The out-performance was mostly driven by favourable fund selection in Europe. On a year-to-date basis, the fund gained 24.25%, outperforming the benchmark by 3.47%. ASSET ALLOCATION Mutual Fund 92.76% Cash 7.24% 100.00% Total Most global equities slid amid disappointed European Central Bank (ECB)’s easing actions, sharpening worries about the stability of the global junk -bond market and tumbling oil prices. Meanwhile, the much debated U.S. Federal Reserve ("Fed") lift-off finally happened on December 16. Janet Yellen managed market expectations perfectly. Indeed, risk assets rallied on the positive message from Yallen, albeit temporarily. The broad retreat comes a day after markets rallied to the Fed’s rate hike decision. Investors shifted their focus back to some of the factors that pressured stocks, such as the effects of the strengthening dollar on commodity prices, like oil. The markets ended lower in late-December given a lack of new catalysts. Within the context of developed market equities, we have a preference for the Europe and Japan equity markets. We remain neutral on US equities in light of the slowdown in manufacturing, deteriorated earning cycle and the tighter monetary environment. We expect ECB and Bank of Japan ("BoJ") to extend or expand their stimulus programmes. We expect these policy actions to result in abundant liquidity, lowered volatility and risk , and translate to a bottoming of Purchasing Managers Index ("PMI") in both regions.

Page 1 of 2 31 December 2015 CIMB-Principal Global Multi Asset Income Fund A S S E T MA N A GE ME N T FUND MANAGER'S REPORT PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS For the month of December 2015, the Fund declined by 1.07%. Year-to-date ("YTD"), the Fund gained 7.08%. The Fund does not have a benchmark for comparison. ASSET ALLOCATION European equities were amongst the biggest losers due to European Central Bank (ECB) policy disappointment. High yield bonds also detracted as further declines in energy prices and fears of contagion risk stemming from the liquidation of a US mutual fund, which was focused towards the distressed end of the high yield market, caused a sharp sell-off in the asset class mid-month. However, US high yield prices recovered towards month-end, returning -2.6% through December. Schroder -ISF-Global Multi Asset Inc 99.22% Cash 0.78% 100.00% Total SECTOR BREAKDOWN* The outlook for growth remains modest as the industrial and manufacturing sectors, particularly in the US, have continued to weaken. Central bank policy announcements through December also indicated that further volatility in asset prices may lie ahead, with the ECB failing to meet investor expectations for further easing while the Fed embarked on its hiking cycle, implying that liquidity will be withdrawn further in the coming quarters. China’s currency reserves are also contracting, indicating capital outflows and tighter liquidity conditions within the economy. This is placing downward pressure on the Chinese Yuan.
