Remain cautious on Indonesia; RHB stock of the week


We see downside risks for Indonesian banks from high inflation, rupiah depreciation and political uncertainties. Earnings headwinds could come from a policy-induced slowdown in loan growth and higher NPLs. Much of this has been priced in for the big banks, ex-BCA.

Last week, we made across-the-board adjustments to our earnings and target prices for Indonesian banks and downgraded Mandiri and BNI to Neutral (from Outperform). In Malaysia, we raised estimates and target prices for HLB and Affin while cutting both for Alliance Financial and BIMB. We also raised our estimates for RHB. We remain Overweight on the overall sector.

factor for the sector is the timing of international liquidity tightening, as Indonesian banks could potentially be the worst hit in Asia by a stronger US$ (-0.7% correlation) and higher US rates (-0.81% correlation).

We remain cautious on Indonesian banks, and downgrade industry behemoths Mandiri and BNI to Neutral. In our opinion, BRI continues to provide the best exposure to the sector. BIs hawkish stance will result in slower loan growth for the sector, and we see NPLs rising. Our caution is tempered by greater regulatory depth and stronger financial positions than during the 2005/08 cycle. We are most worried about the smaller banks, although we do not expect systemic risks. The biggest external unknown

Risers over the past week were led by India (+3.5%) and the Philippines (+3.4%). Decliners were led by Indonesia (-2.2%). Most other banking indices were flat or up modestly.

Model portfolio

Over the past week, CIMBs Asian banks model portfolio was up 0.83% against a 0.89% rise for its benchmark. Performance was held back by our short position in SBI, which continues to rebound.

We raise estimates for RHB following its stellar 3Q13 results. We see upside from continued market-share gains in investment banking and its planned entry into Indonesia.

From Foe to Friend


Our analysis of best-practice food wholesaling demonstrates that the most notable deficiency of MTS's model is a lack of constructive cooperation with its retailers. Today's strategy 'preview' demonstrates that MTS is willing to make concessions, an important step forward. Retailer buy-in remains the critical missing link
Todays update provides an idea of managements vision, without the strategy or framework to get there. What was clear to us though is that MTS will make an upfront investment for future growth, and hence we take this opportunity to revise down our forecasts. We lower FY14F NPAT by 7% to A$252m and FY15F by 18% to A$239m. On our revised forecasts MTS is trading on FY15 PE of 12x. We lower our blended price target to A$3.60 (from A$3.90) but retain our Outperform recommendation. MTS suggested that prior company strategies had been too focused on wholesale outcomes rather than the consumer. New strategies will be built around a more collegiate aim of shopper-led volume expansion . In particular MTS highlighted the need for: 1) better prices and promo offers across branded grocery; 2) enhanced private label range and pricing; and 3) improvements to the independent fresh offer.

All about volume

MTS today confirmed that upfront funding will be required to drive shopper-led volume growth. Beefed-up in-house marketing and a subsidised private label range have already been highlighted as examples of how the MTS will contribute to volume growth. MTS called out a 3% COGS disadvantage to the major chains which it is looking to address. Co-operation by retailers in streamlining costs-to-serve will be key to tapping that funding. Management today highlighted recent cost-cutting as a short-term solution. As such, reinvestment in the business began in 1H14. The reinstating of the DRP and lower dividend pay-out suggest the balance sheet is also being positioned to support further growth initiatives.

Notes from the Field

Student enrolments continue to improve in S3_13


The Australian University Program student recovery continues and overall student growth reached double digits, which bodes well for top line growth in FY14 and FY15. That said, as per the recent FY14 guidance, EBITDA growth will be lower given one-off cost increases.
Beyond FY14 strong top line growth, combined with the operating leverage inherent within the business, gives potential for over 20% EPS growth. However we think this is reflected in the share price, with NVT trading on a PE of 27.3x in FY14 and 22.1x in FY15. We make minor changes to our earnings forecasts, our blended target price (PE, EV/EBITDA and DCF) increases to A$5.65 and we maintain our Neutral recommendation. with Canada +21% and the US +45% yoy. The only negative region was Asia/Africa, where enrolments fell by -8% (vs. -10% in S2_13). Whilst S3_13 was marginally ahead of our expectations (+13% vs. CIMB +11.5%), management cautioned that S3_13 enrolments had been factored into the recent FY14 guidance.

S3_13 University program (UP) enrolment numbers were impressive, increasing by +13% yoy (vs. +4.6% in S2_13 and +4% in S1_13). Australia continued to show positive signs of a recovery, with new enrolments above +30% (vs. +15% in S2_13 and +12% in S1_13) and total Australian enrolments up +13% (vs. +5% in S2_13 and -0.5% in S1_13). Importantly, this was the first time Australia has reported double digit enrolment growth since S3_09. UK enrolments grew +23%, a strong recovery after the +2% recorded in S2_13. North America EFTSUs increased +27% (vs. +22% in S2_13),

NVT remains on track to deliver mid-teens revenue growth, however in FY14, reinvestment in the cost base has resulted in FY14 EBITDA guidance of A$138-148m, which represents growth of 6-14%. That said, in FY15 we forecast a return of the operating leverage inherent within the business model, with EPS growth of +24% off 12% revenue growth.

But priced in

We remain positive on the longer term structural story of increasing wealth in developing countries leading to increased demand for Western tertiary education. However on an FY15 PE of 22.1x, we think this is reflected in the share price.

Notes from the Field

Gaining scale in France


French subsidiary Ramsay Sant has finalised its acquisition of mental health group Medipsy. While we believe the move plays to RHCs core strengths in managing psychiatric hospitals and its track record of delivering margin gains, the near- to medium-term earnings impact appears incremental and is reflected in current trading levels.
Our FY14 EPS estimate remains largely unchanged, while FY15-16F increases up to 210bp. We adjust our multiples to better reflect historical levels and Asian-based comps, with our blended price target increasing to A$38.44. We retain our Neutral rating. Ramsay Sant, a 57%-owned French subsidiary, has successfully concluded negotiations with Gnrale de Sant Group (GDS) paying 149.4m (A$222.8m) for mental health group Medipsy. Medipsy operates 30 hospitals (more than 2,600 beds) across France, with 27 mental health clinics, the largest number in the country and covering a broad range of services (eg general psychiatry, adolescent mental health, gerontology) as well as three facilities devoted to drug/alcohol rehabilitation, with an annual turnover of ~150m (A$223.7m). The cash/debt funded acquisition, with top-up funds provided by RHC and minority interest holder Predica, is expected to close by YE13, with EPS accretion in 12 months.

We view the acquisition as both opportunistic (favourable terms EV/EBITDA ~7.5x) and strategic (track record of driving margin gains from acquired underperforming assets and scale gained as now the third largest operator in France with 40 hospitals and 4,100 beds) and believe underlying fundamentals are supportive: 11.8% healthcare GDP expenditure versus 9.8% OECD average; ageing population (60-year-olds represent 23% of the population, 27% by 2025F, according to WHO); and compulsory health insurance (87% national, 8% private extra-cover, 5% self-pay). However, the operating environment remains challenging (pricing pressure, growing regulatory constraints and the rationalisation of services) possibly limiting strong gains and margin uplift, with flagged plans to expand some assets increasing capex (up to ~A$15m) and prolonging adequate ROI.

Its in the price

We believe current trading levels (forward PE 24.3x) capture acquisition upside.

Notes from the Field

Trimming
Channel checks suggest that while corporate IT demand has not worsened, equally there is no current pick-up in activity. While most participants are optimistic and hopeful on a recovery in 2H14, this is yet to feed into lead indicators which are still patchy.

We currently factor in a mild 2H14 recovery, however believe that pricing pressure will mitigate higher volumes and limit historical operating leverage in the short term. We cut EPS by 7% and 3% across FY14-15F. Our blended (PE/EBIT) price target falls to A$4.18. We maintain a Neutral rating. Channel checks across the IT industry suggest little has changed in the months post the federal election. While there is an increased sense of optimism and hope for increased activity in 2H14, this is not yet evident in the current December quarter. However, while activity has not increased post-election, equally important is that activity has not deteriorated further but rather has exhibited stabilisation. We have trimmed utilisation rates by 1% (across both halves) causing Normalised FY14F EPS to fall 7%. This change is based entirely on the organic business, with no changes to our forecasts for the two recent

acquisitions (Indicium and Birchman Asia Pacific). We expect SMX to report Normalised 1H14 EBITDA down 42% yoy in February (-56% yoy on an organic basis). In our view, this level of decline is likely to feature as the worst relative to the majority of listed peers. On an organic basis we expect a 46/54 1H/2H EBITDA split. But on a group normalised basis (ie, including acquisitions) the split is more heavily skewed to the 2H, ie, 41/59 given the heavy 2H skew of the recent acquisitions.

Weak 1H & strong 2H skew

Lead indicators remain patchy for corporate IT spend, including surveys for business confidence and IT vacancies, with no evident pick-up yet. While our existing forecasts assume some demand recovery in 2H14 we believe this will be offset by strong competition, with industry pricing pressure continuing to remain at elevated levels thereby limiting historic operating leverage benefits (ie, margin expansion). Currently SMX does not offer valuation appeal (17x PE and 12x EBIT).

Oct 2013 approvals up 21%


October 2013 building approvals increased 21% versus the pcp. Detached houses contributed to the improvement but growth continued to be led by the apartments segment, which displays lower materials intensity. With valuations relatively full, we retain a cautious sector stance and our preference for Fletcher Building (Outperform).

SOURCES: ABS

We focus on the original data relative to the pcp, but we note that October seasonally-adjusted approvals declined 2% from September 2013. On an original basis, building approvals were 21% ahead of October 2012 levels. QLD (+34% versus the pcp) was the key contributor to the growth in October 2013 building approvals. Importantly, VIC, which has been relatively weak for some time, saw a 25% increase in approvals. WA (+20%) also delivered strong growth. NSW, which has outperformed in recent months, delivered a relatively modest 5% improvement. We focus on detached houses and townhouses as key drivers of materials intensity. These segments improved by a robust 10% versus the pcp. However, apartments, which exhibit lower materials intensity, increased by 53% versus the pcp. Within this segment, four or more storey apartments rose

by 87% relative to October 2012 levels. The value of building approvals for non-residential construction activity increased by 13% versus the pcp.

What We Think

What Happened

Building approvals have improved for 13 of the past 14 months. Allowing for lags, we believe materials demand should gather pace in CY14. However, this improvement may lag the headline data if the apartments segment continues to capture overall housing market share.

What You Should Do

We believe the focus should remain on mid-cycle leverage in the sector. However, current share prices appear to be reflecting much of this leverage. Against this backdrop, we retain a cautious sector stance with a preference for Fletcher Building (Outperform). We retain a Neutral rating for CSR, Adelaide Brighton and James Hardie, and an Underperform rating for Boral.

HMC/KIAs combined Nov ex-factory sales of 666k units brought 11M13 sales to 93-94% of our 2013 targets as overseas remained intact. The weak domestic sales (-12.0% yoy, -3.5% mom) are due to the high base effect from last years individual consumption tax cut.

Highlighted Companies Hyundai Motor (005380 KS)


We foresee strong ROE accretion from the companys 113% capex efficiency, which is the highest in the industry. We expect the new China capacity and full model changes for the new Genesis and Sonata to trigger an ROE-accretion cycle in 2H13-2014.

KIA

SOURCES: CIMB, COMPANY REPORTS

KIA Motor (000270 KS)

KIA leads its global peers in cash costs, at US$13,986 per unit. We believe that its competitive cost structure, backed by a solid 2H13 new model cycle, will give it the highest ASP-to-cash-cost spread in the coming quarters.

We remain Overweight on the Korean auto sector, with HMC as our top pick. The upcoming ASP hikes for the enhanced model cycle, backed by the direct/indirect overseas capacity expansion, remain the key catalysts. HMC reported global ex-factory sales of 408,533 units in Nov, bringing 11M13 sales to 92.7% of its 2013 target. Domestic sales fell 11.9% yoy and 5.6% mom, no thanks to last years high-base effect from the individual consumption tax cut and fewer working hours (on 5 and 8 Nov) due to the labour union leader election. HMCs US plant sales fell 6.8% yoy and 18.5% mom due to the fewer working days (19 days with thanksgiving holidays) vs. 23 days in Oct 13 vs. 20 days in Nov 12. Sales from the Turkey plant increased 14.1% mom as it took over the production of the new i10 from India after HMC's capacity was expanded in Turkey. Sales from the China plant rose 1.2% yoy and 15% mom due to the new Mistras sales of c.6k units whose production started on 19 Nov.

target. Overseas sales increased to 218,521 units (+2.2% yoy, +4.0% mom, 11M13 at 95.4% of 2013 target of 2.27m). The US plant posted weak sales due to fewer working days; but as for the U.S retail sales in Nov, sales of the new Soul rose 165.8% mom and that of the new Facelift Sportage rose 107.1% yoy and 87% mom. The China plant posted sales of 53,012 units (+1.8% yoy, +16.5% mom) due to strong sales of the K2 (+8.1% yoy, +26.4% mom), K3 (+19% yoy, +3.6% mom), K5 (+0.5% yoy, +15.9% mom), and Sportage (+3.2% yoy, +9.2% mom).

What We Think

We expect strong sales momentum in 4Q13-2014 to come from: 1) HMCs overseas capacity expansion (150k units in China, 90k in CHMC, 100k in Turkey, 20k in Brazil via the adoption of three shifts), KIAs 150k additional China capacity in 1H14, and 2) the new model cycle starting in the local market, whose output is normalising. Stay invested. We remain positive on HMC/KIAs solid 11M13 sales and margin prospects due to the improving model cycle, backed by the potential capacity expansion in 2014.

KT Corp

SOURCES: CIMB, COMPANY REPORTS

We foresee an uphill battle for KT in regaining its market share in LTE. But we believe gradual ARPU growth and solid dividend yields will limit its share-price downside. Longer term, we are positive on its new growth areas.

LG Uplus

We feel LGU and the market are too optimistic about potential gains from LTE. We also believe LGU will find it difficult to maintain its aggressive marketing promotions and simultaneously provide attractive returns to shareholders.

We remain Neutral on the sector, expecting sentiment on telcos to weaken on the back of heated marketing, lacklustre results as well as mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) further traction with consumers. SK Telecom (SKT) remains our top pick. MNP in Nov was down 24% mom to 750k (Oct: 989k) and down 2% yoy (Nov 12: 763k). However, Oct-Nov MNP was the highest 2-month MNP since the beginning of 2013. 4Q13 MNP appears likely to exceed 2Q-3Q13 numbers, coming in perhaps close to 1Q13 levels. MNP winners in the month were the MVNOs (+54k vs. +47k in Oct), as they gained further traction with cost-sensitive consumers, while LG Uplus (LGU) also posted positive MNP (+22k in Nov, +36k in Oct).

Meanwhile, SKT (-53k vs. -54k in Oct) and KT (-23k vs. -29k in Oct) continued to be MNP losers, although at slower rates. In sync with the MNP data and press reports, our channel checks suggest that promotions remain active, which should result in weaker 4Q results for the telcos from higher marketing costs. This should be particularly true for KT which is looking to regain lost market share as well as LGU which is trying to maintain its momentum. We continue to recommend caution on the sector with SKT being our only Outperform recommendation on improving ARPU growth and solid dividend yields. We rate KT a Neutral and LGU an Underperform.

Heading south in 2H13


First FHCs 9M13 earnings were better than we had expected due to strong fees. The momentum, however, has tapered off since 2H13 due to additional provisioning. Going forward, revenue expansion could be capped due to a lack of significant growth drivers.

9M13 net profit came in at 83% of our original FY13 forecast. We raise our FY13 earnings estimate by 4% for reduced credit costs but trim FY14-15 by 4-6% as we expect lower investment returns to offset fee expansion. We remain Neutral while raising our SOP-based target price by 1% to NT$18.5 (1x FY14 P/BV). Overseas operations will continue to drive sentiment on the stock.

Earnings for its flagship First Bank shrank 11% qoq in 3Q13, leading to a flat yoy net profit for 9M13 due to mounting provisions (+1,688% qoq). Excluding income from financial products/investment activities, core revenues (net interest income and net fees) grew 9% yoy in 9M13. 9M13 total loans stagnated YTD due to strategically reduced government exposure (-28% YTD). However, NIM was unchanged (1.26%) for three quarters, dragged down by the falling LDR (86.5% in 3Q13 vs. 89.5% in 4Q12) despite rising NT$ and FX spreads. The 10% yoy rise in total fees in 9M13 was a nice surprise, coming from wealth management (+14% yoy) and loan-related fees (+15% yoy). NPL ratio and reserve

coverage closed at 0.64% and 191.5%, respectively, at end-3Q13 after the write-off of TMT exposure of NT$3.6bn. Annualised (net) credit cost rose to 34bp in 3Q13 (2bp in 2Q13), and loan coverage and Tier 1 asset coverage both exceeded 1%. Management guided that it will make additional provisions to raise reserve coverage to above 200% for FY13. For FY14, the guidance is for SME/FX-driven total loans to grow 4-5%, NIM to rise 5bp (on portfolio adjustment), fees to increase 15% yoy and gross credit costs to normalise at 40-45bp (with at least NT$2bn in recoveries). Although no extra provisions are expected to be needed in FY14, First FHCs topline could be capped given its mediocre credit expansion and an overoptimistic fee growth target, in our view. We forecast average growth of 8% p.a. for banking PPOP and 11% p.a. for group earnings in FY13-15.

Unconfirmed outlook

No re-rating in sight

The stock is trading at around 1x FY14 P/BV, which we think is a fair reflection of its return prospects (below 9% ROEs in FY13-15, by our estimates).

Change of focus to counter weaker property loan growth


During todays analyst briefing, Alliance indicated that it is still aiming for a sustained loan growth of circa 13% in 2014, despite a possible slowdown in industrys loan growth. We laud such a move but the pressures on margins will continue to constrict its topline growth.
It is also soothing to note that the bank does not see any strains on asset quality. We retain our DDM-based target price (COE of 10.6%; LT growth of 4%) and Underperform call, given the concerns over margin compression and an expected upturn in credit costs. Its CY14 P/E of 12.7x is also above the sectors 12.1x. We prefer RHB Capital. During todays conference call on its 2QFY14 results, Alliance Banks group CEO/ED Sng Seow Wah outlined the groups strategies and prospects. The key takeaways are (1) its loan growth target of 13% for 2014, (2) that the bank faces no strains on asset quality, and (3) its continuous focus on developing fee income. mortgages, it has partly shifted its focus to other loan segments, like the financing of the purchase of plantation lands and auto loans. In this aspect, we are more conservative by projecting a loan growth of 9%+ for Alliance in FY3/14-15. Also, the expansion in net interest income (in the region of 5-8%) would trail its loan growth due to the impact of margin squeeze. The keen competition for low-cost deposits, whereby some banks even pay interests of up to 3% p.a. for these deposits, will restrict the room for the group to reduce its cost of fund. That said, its loan growth will have to be funded by the increase in more expensive fixed deposits. Despite its strong loan growth, we do not advise investors to accumulate Alliance due to (1) its above-sector P/E valuation, (2) margin compression, and (3) an upturn in credit costs.

Another disappointing quarter


3Q13 results were well below expectations with 9MFY13 accounting for 56% of our full-year forecast. Losses from the autos and plastics divisions continued to be the main drag.
We cut our FY13-15 forecasts by 10-13% and lower our target price, which continues to be at a 20% discount to RNAV. We factor in a negative operating margin for the plastics business but we continue to assume that the auto distribution business will break even next year as losses are narrowing. Continued auto losses are downside catalysts. Underperform maintained. Switch to IOI for plantations and Tan Chong for exposure to the auto sector. Adjusting for the forex losses recognised on the yen debt in the plantation business relative to the weakness of the rupiah during the period, we estimate operating profits in the plantation division fell 35% yoy to RM22.9m. This was in line with expectations given lower CPO prices and lower seasonal output. We project a much better 4Q13 and we leave our forecasts in the business unchanged.

No significant impact on per unit costs from electricity hike


The pressure on per unit production cost from higher electricity tariffs should be mitigated by a ramp-up in volumes over the next two years as the industry makes a concerted effort to push unit sales ahead of the GST and potentially tighter credit in 2015 and beyond.

Although it is the most exposed to higher electricity prices in theory because of its pure auto exposure, TCMs momentum in doubling its volume growth on the same SG&A cost base over the next three years should mitigate the impact.

UMW Toyota and Perodua have achieved significant economies of scale due to being number one in market share in both the non-national and national segments, respectively. The recovery in Toyotas unit sales in 2014 following the launch of the new Vios should also help to spread out higher per unit production costs. Both UMW Toyota and Perodua are operating on two shifts and we do not think that they will add another.

Proton is likely to be more vulnerable to higher electricity prices as we estimate that it is just breaking even at the EBIT level. However, like UMW and TCM, it is expected to see a significant pick-up in volumes with the introduction of the new Saga SV to spread out the higher per unit costs for electricity.

With enough capacity in the system and with the number of production shifts unlikely to increase, economies of scale should offset some of the impact from higher electricity tariffs. However, this is yet another cost pressure added to the uncertainties in the sector which is facing greater currency volatility and greater competition. We maintain a Neutral rating on the sector, with Tan Chong as our top pick. Electricity prices have been raised by an average of 14.85%. Industrial users are expected to experience an average increase of 16.85%.

companies in our coverage should not see a material impact because they have all achieved a sufficient amount of scale. They are more concerned about the effect of forex movements on costs, and the credit environment on keeping unit sales up.

What You Should Do

What Happened

What We Think

Electricity currently makes up 11-12% of assembly line and manufacturing costs in the Malaysian auto sector. However, when supply chain activities, the distribution business and other SG&A are included, the percentage of electricity costs to total opex falls to around 4-6%. Most of the

We see no significant impact on the auto sector, particularly the auto conglomerates UMW and DRB, as their diversified earnings base should cushion the impact on EPS. For Tan Chong, the higher electricity prices could result in a 4-5% cut in EPS in theory, but as its operations ramp up from assembling and selling 50,000 units a year to its end-target of 100,000 units p.a., the higher fixed cost of electricity is spread out over the production shifts and diluted. This event nevertheless adds another negative variable to the sector and is another reason to remain selective. Tan Chong is our only Outperform and is our top pick in the sector.

Watts up!

SECTOR FLASH NOTE

The Malaysian government has announced a 16.85% industrial power tariff hike effective Jan 2014. Although widely expected, this increase is a net-negative on building material players given the current industry conditions. The biggest losers are likely to be steel makers, while cement players are more insulated.

SOURCES: CIMB, COMPANY REPORTS

Pricing power/ability to fully pass on cost

EPS forecasts are intact as we have modelled in 8-15% hikes in power tariffs p.a. Our sensitivity analysis shows that for every 10% increase in electricity tariff, the EPS of cement and steel players would be shaved by 3-10%, assuming no pass through. Current industry conditions may limit the ability to fully pass on the higher costs given the competition in cement, and sustained macro risks for steel companies. Maintain Neutral. The government has announced an 16.85% average increase in power tariffs for industrial consumers effective 1 Jan 2014. Special Industrial Tariff (SIT) consumers will also continue to benefit from discounted rates.

Lafarge's and Tasek's EPS, while Ann Joo's EPS would be reduced by 9-10%. Based on our channel checks, the good news is that the actual impact on earnings could be smaller, as selected efficient manufacturers will enjoy special tariff rates for the SIT. This is in line with the recent expectations of cement companies like Lafarge. The level of discount was undisclosed. Stay on the sidelines. Medium term cost risks have emerged. The main question is whether companies can fully pass on the cost. Selling price increases may be inevitable but the impact could be muted by the current competitive environment for cement players (higher price rebates), and sustained macro risks for steel companies (dumping from China and forex risks). These factors continue to weigh on the selling prices of cement and steel products. The prevailing threats from imported steel and forex losses suggest Ann Joo is the biggest loser, though it has the cost advantage of switching to its blast furnace facility. We maintain Neutral calls on all three stocks. Switch to contractors.

What Happened

What You Should Do

Highlighted Companies Lafarge


Electricity makes up 8-10% of total production cost. Every 10% increase in power tariff would shave EPS by 3-4%. Lafarge's leading position should allow it pass on higher costs, but this is limited by the sustained competitive environment.

What We Think

Tasek Corporation

Electricity makes up c.10-12% of total production cost. For every 10% hike in power tariffs, we estimate a 4-5% impact on EPS, assuming no pass-through. The 20% power tariff increase would be net negative to Tasek, given the competitive landscape.

Ann Joo Resources

Electricity constitutes 8-12% of production cost. Every 10% increase in power tariff would cut EPS by 9-10%, but this is mitigated the ability to switch to its blast furnace facility. Ann Joo could emerge as the biggest loser in view of the sustained macro risks.

The 16.85% quantum in power tariff increase was widely expected given the government's move to scale back subsidies. The last industrial tariff hike in 2011 was 8.35%, on average. Under our coverage, we estimate that electricity usage constitutes 8-10% of total production cost for Lafarge and Tasek (cement), while it makes up 8-12% of Ann Joo's (steel). Assuming no pass through, every 10% hike in power tariff would shave 3-5% off

ECONOMIC UPDATE

CIMB Analyst(s)

Counting the impact of power hike


We expect the average electricity tariff hike of 10.6% for domestic users effective from 1 Jan 2014 to add 0.2% pt to headline CPI growth as electricity consumption carries a weight of 2.88% in the CPI basket. The chain-effect from the power hike will be somewhat muted if history is any guide. We keep our headline inflation forecasts of 2.2% for 2013 and 3.0% for 2014, which continue to bake in some administered price adjustments, especially for fuel. On interest rates, we do not think that Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) will react immediately to counter the anticipated rise in cost-induced inflation, which could be temporary.
The government has approved a 14.89% hike in power rates effective from 1 Jan 2014, taking the average tariff rate to 36.22 sen per kWh for industrial users (from 31 sen previously) or an increase of 16.85%, 47.67 sen per kWh for commercial users (from 40.8 sen previously) or +16.85% and 31.85 sen per kWh for domestic users (from 28.8 sen previously) or +10.6%. The electricity tariff was last revised in Jun 2011.

The reduction in fuel subsidies for the power sector was essential to stabilise the economy."
Datuk Loo Took Gee, Secretary-General of Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry

14.89% hike for electricity tariff rates

Who is hit hardest on the street?

Industrial and commercial users which collectively consume 78% of the electricity generated will be hit the most. The heavy users of power include electronics & electrical, transport, rubber gloves, building materials, consumer and automotive industries. For consumers, the low-income group will be partially sheltered via 1) free electricity to those who use less than RM20 per month, which was implemented in 2008; 2) the decision to maintain a Lifeline Band on electricity tariff for the first 200kWh at a highly subsidised rate of 21.8 sen/kWh, which was unchanged since 1997; and 3) the decision to maintain the rate at 33.4 sen/kWh for those who consume less than 300kWh per month. This will mean no tariff increase for 4.6m consumers or 70.7% of total households. As electricity consumption makes up a 2.88% weightage in the CPI basket, a 10.6% hike in power rates for domestic users will add 0.2% pt to Jan 2014's headline inflation. The second-round impact of higher power rates depends on the degree of pass-through to end-users. If previous episodes of tariff hikes are any guide, the impact on inflation could be rather muted. Thus, we maintain our CPI growth estimates of 2.2% for this year and 3.0% for 2014, which continue to factor in some administered price adjustments, especially for fuel.

AirAsia Bumi Armada MRCB Unlikely to become shariah compliant as conventional aircraft financing is cheaper BAB is looking at Islamic financing but it has to be in US$, which may be restrictive FY12 accounts are not shariah compliant, but FY13 YTD numbers are compliant Difficult as MCIL cannot guarantee that its non-Halal revenue will not exceed 5% No immediate plans to address non-compliance.

Highlighted Companies AirAsia


Most of AirAsia's aircraft financing is non-Shariah compliant but is the cheapest forms of financing. AirAsia is likely to continue to secure new conventional debt financing as it is in the best interest of shareholders. As at 31 December 2012, AirAsia's conventional debt comprised 38.5% of its total assets. AirAsia is expected to take action to increase its Islamic debt but we think that this will not be enough to reverse its non-Shariah compliant status.

Media Chinese Int'l Oriental Holdings SP Setia Bhd Tan Chong Motor Tasek Corporation Wellcall Holdings YTL Power

Oriental Holdings

Oriental Holdings has total cash of RM2.6bn and its cash to assets ratio is above the 33% threshold. It is conserving the cash for M&A purposes in Indonesia as it seeks to double its plantation landbank. Although this event is likely to occur in the near term due to the current macro conditions in Indonesia, Oriental Holdings will still wait for the right valuations and will not accelerate its plans because of non-compliance with the cash to assets threshold.

SP Setia

SP Setia has total borrowings of RM4.54bn and its debt to asset ratio of 37% as at 31 July 2013 is above the 33% Shariah threshold. The group will seek ways to address the issue but this will likely take some time. The likely departure of CEO Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin in Mar 2014, when the third put option for the sale of his remaining stake in SP Setia is due, is of greater concern to us.

Most of the companies under our coverage that are no longer Shariah compliant are taking steps to meet the new requirements as Shariah-compliant funds have a six-month grace period before they have to take action. There are no changes to our end-2014 KLCI target of 1,920pts and preference for the oil & gas, construction and property sectors. On 29 Nov, the Securities Commission (SC) approved an updated list of stocks that were classified as Shariah compliant based on a revised methodology. 16 companies have been added to the approved list while 158 companies have been removed from the previous list that was issued in May 2013. The SC now adopts a 2-tier quantitative approach, measuring: 1) the business activity benchmark, where companies exposure to certain businesses cannot exceed 5% or 20%, and 2) the financial ratio benchmark, where the cash/debt over total assets that are not in Islamic accounts and

financing cannot exceed 33%. Investors are given six months from 29 Nov to dispose of securities that are not in compliance if the market price is equal or higher than their investment cost. If the market price is below the investment cost, investors are allowed to hold the stock until the market price is equal to the cost.

What We Think

What Happened

There are 11 companies under our coverage that have been removed from the previous list and are now not Shariah compliant. Most of the companies are seeking ways to meet the new rules in the next six months but several may not meet the deadline. We believe that these would include AirAsia, Ann Joo, Oriental and SP Setia. As these new SC rules are not a surprise, any excessive selldown of non-compliant stocks may provide investors a buying opportunity as the underlying fundamentals of these companies have not changed.

Beyond the taper


After five years of a rally built on QE, one has to be edgy on how an end to QE will change the game. Sure, Singapore does not have a gearing issue but corporate earnings have sputtered as domestic businesses grapple with rising costs and overseas growth slows.

Best proxy for rising CPO prices. Stronger CPO prices coupled with its refinery expansion in 2H13 will be tailwinds for earnings. Free cash flow should improve markedly in FY14 as capex is scaled down.

Global Logistic Properties

GLP is a NAV growth story. The establishment of a US$3bn China logistics fund will accelerate its asset recycling in China while assets in Japan are poised for recycling as cap rates shrink.

In 2H13, the FSSTI failed to reclaim its May high as rate-sensitive sectors stumbled. A market selloff in 2014 is possible, but it is unconstructive to worry about and position for. The only way to outperform is to select companies bottom-up, looking for those with the right business models and products. Our end-2014 FSSTI target is 3,600, based 14.4x CY15 P/E. Our top picks include DBS, FR, GLP, KEP and WIL.

Domestic woes overhyped

Top five big-cap buys

We prefer stocks with some catalysts, at reasonable valuations. Our top five big-cap picks are DBS, FR, GLP, KEP and WIL. As long as the threat of rising interest rates hangs in the air, property and REITs will have little reason to do well. GLP is preferred because it can accelerate its RNAV growth with its China logistics fund. DBS is the best proxy for rising interest rates, in our view. Keppel has fewer catalysts in 2014, but margin catalysts should come back in 2015. We like the plantations sector on Indonesias intention to use crude palm oil in its biodiesel mix.

Population growth in Singapore is slowing as the country weans itself off foreign labour. Housing vacancy will rise and rents, soften bad for developers. Still, implications from the labour restructuring have been overblown. Some smaller companies may have closed but the larger ones are coping. Banks asset quality remains pristine. Singapore companies have been expanding out of their small market for years, so their share-price driver should now be execution in overseas markets.

Top five small-cap picks

Our top five smaller-cap conviction picks are Del Monte, Ezion, Goodpack, Midas and Sarin Tech. DELM should be able to digest its major acquisition. The next half of EZIs new fleet should contribute in 2014. GPACK has a new auto catalyst. MIDAS should benefit from a revival of train orders in China. SARIN has high earnings-growth potential from its new products.

MIXc: a competitive model for commercial properties


CRLs property tour of its commercial projects revealed a slight divergence in the performance of the MIXc projects in Nanning and Chengdu. That said, we believe CRL will be a long-term winner in the commercial property segment.
Maintain Outperform and our target price, pegged to a 10% discount to RNAV. Robust rental growth in 2014-15 is a catalyst and sizeable rental income cushions the companys earnings and operations. 40% in 3Q13. CRL Chengdu MIXc is located on the east second ring road, a newly-developed business area. Phase 1 opened in May 2012. Its offices have currently only achieved an occupancy rate of 53% while its shopping mall records a satisfactory occupancy rate of over 90%.

Expert Opinion Customer Views

A differentiated business model (property development + IP+ value-added services), the right product ideas and strong support from the parent company are the key drivers of the success of CRL.
Wu Xiangdong, chairman

Nanning MIXc: first-mover advantage

Located in the new CBD of Nanning, CRL MIXc is an unparalleled complex project and dominates the citys top-end office and residential segments. The shopping mall opened in Sep 2012 with an initial occupancy rate of 92%. The rent for its offices of Rmb160/sqm/month and ASP of Rmb23k/sq m for apartments top the market in Nanning. Our site visit also showed that MIXc offers customers an excellent shopping experience given a convenient location and access, spacious interiors and a wide range of mid-end to luxury brands.

Chengdu: a tough market

Chengdu is an oversupplied market, with average office vacancy hitting

Apart from Chengdu MIXc, CRL proves excellent performance at its four other MIXc projects, with high occupancy rates of 93-99%. We believe CRL will be a long-term winner in the commercial property segment given its prime project locations, first-mover advantage, quality design and very competitive funding cost (3.6% in 1H13). The strong pipeline, with another seven MIXc in operation in 2014-15, should strengthen its portfolio. We project CRLs rental income to post a 31% two-year CAGR to HK$8.9bn in 2015, contributing 9% of its total topline and 14% of operating profit.

Decent growth in 2014


During our recent NDR in Kuala Lumpur, SJM presented the outlook for its own and Macaus growth. While SJM remains capacity constrained in terms of hotel rooms, additional premium-mass table capacity in 2014 can boost its EBITDA.

We maintain our Outperform rating and target price of HK$28.55, still based on 11x FY15 EV/EBITDA (1 s.d above its 3-year historical average) plus HK$7.21 for the valuation of its Cotai assets in 2017. Further share price drivers could come from higher- than-expected industry GGR growth, as well as dividends and EBITDA growth that top expectations.

What Happened

SJM plans to open 30 tables at Grand Lisboa (GL) by mid-2014. This new table area will be located at the mezzanine level of GL that will undergo renovation. In 4Q14, SJM will open the new Casino Jai Alai which will include around 40 premium-mass tables. The Jai Alai will also incorporate a hotel and retail facilities. Beyond 2014, some additional property renovations at GL may be carried out to add tables. We believe that SJMs market share could see a negative impact in 2015 and 2016 as the operator will be capacity constrained while its competitors will open new properties

in Cotai over those years. SJM should be in a much better position from 2017 onwards due to the opening of its Cotai site, along with the possible staggered opening of additional hotel rooms and theme parks in Angela Leungs adjacent Cotai plot. While a deal with Angela has not been struck yet, we believe that SJMs net cash of HK$24bn and future cashflows can sufficiently cover the future capex requirements. Hence, SJMs ~75% payout ratio should be maintained.

What You Should Do

What We Think

While SJMs near-term growth prospects are likely to trail its competitors, we see limited downside to its share price given its yield and discounted valuation. SJM is a more defensive stock compared to its Macau gaming competitors. SJM is currently trading at a 23% discount to the sector average on a consensus forward EV/EBITDA basis. Over the past three years, SJM has traded within a 10-30% discount range to the gaming sector average.

GGR (MOP m) LHS

yoy chg

SOURCES: DICJ

We maintain our long-term Overweight position on Macaus gaming sector. Catalysts could come from stronger-than-expected industry GGR over the next few months. Longer term, we prefer Galaxy and Sands China due to their stronger earnings visibility from mass-gaming growth on Cotai. Macaus Nov GGR reached MOP30.2bn (+21% yoy, -17% mom). This brought 11M13 GGR to MOP327.3bn (+18.6% yoy). Nov is typically a slower month for GGR after Chinas Golden Week holidays in Oct. Yet, Novs GGR growth exceeded our expectation of 17% which we forecasted at the beginning of Nov. We believe that mass-gaming growth in Nov was probably in the mid-20% range and VIP growth, at 15-20%. For Dec, we are projecting GGR of MOP31.2bn (+11% yoy, +3% mom). Decs yoy growth rates are likely to slow from a higher base as the VIP hold rate was 3.4% in Dec 12, which helped to boost VIP revenue then. Full-year 2013

GGR should reach at least MOP358.5bn (+18% yoy). In Nov, Sands China and MGM gained the most GGR market share while Galaxy and SJM lost the most. The market-share shifts were likely due to changes in VIP hold rates. After outperforming the Hang Seng Index in Sep-Oct, Macaus gaming stocks on average traded in line with the index in Nov. Cotai related shares outperformed Peninsula shares. Macau gaming stocks are now at 15x forward consensus EV/EBITDA on average, 2 s.d. above the sectors 3-year average. Such levels historically mark the ceiling for near-term valuation re-rating. We expect Macaus gaming stocks to be range-bound until early 2014 when consensus GGR growth estimates of 10-14% for 2014 could get upgraded. 2014 GGR will likely be driven continued growth in premium mass coupled with new table and hotel capacity on Macau Fishermans Wharf. We currently forecast GGR growth of 15% for 2014.

Tying the knot


Though Sumitomo Lifes Rp4.2tr acquisition of 40% of BNIs life insurance subsidiary is at a rich P/BV of 30x pre-money, it is not out of line with recent similar transactions. BNI could see 4-6% upside to its 2014 net profit, in addition to a new source of fee income.

Hadi SOEGIARTO, FRM


T (62) 21 3006 1722 E hadi.soegiarto@cimb.com

We maintain our EPS targets, GGM-based target price and Neutral rating on BNI. BNI announced that Sumitomo Life has acquired a 40% stake in subsidiary BNI Life for Rp4.2tr. As the stake was in the form of new shares issued by BNI Life, the full Rp4.2tr will go into BNI Life as capital. The new life insurance partnership aims to cultivate BNIs captive market as well as sell to non-BNIs customers through BNI Lifes branches. The multiple for the transaction pre-money was 30.1x 2012 P/BV and 174.9x 2012 P/E pre-money. The transaction looks rich on paper. However, if it is evaluated on the basis of BNIs client base, the valuation is comparable with recent similar transactions. Earlier this year, Dai-Chi Life bought a 40% stake in Panin Life for Rp3.3tr, giving it exclusive rights to the latters client base. Asset-wise, Panin Bank is about 40% the size of BNI.

BNI for the access to its client base. As a comparison, Manulifes partnership with Danamon involved an upfront fee of Rp500bn and Panin Bank is also likely to receive a similar upfront fee. Assuming that BNI will be paid a fee in the range of Rp2tr-4tr and that it will be disbursed in the form of loans at a 10% rate, it could translate to 2-3% upside in the banks FY14 net profit. In the income statement, the upfront fee is also to be amortised over the life of the contract. Assuming the contract is for 10 years, it will bring another 2-3% upside to net profit. There is minimal impact on BNIs equity. The development of this transaction has been well covered by the newswires. The stocks recent valuation strength and increase in foreign ownership indicate high optimism of the transaction going through. This might limit further upside from the announcement.

Oct trade On the mend


In Oct, Indonesia enjoyed a massive reversal in exports (+2.6% yoy vs. -7.5% in Sep) and imports (-8.9% vs. +1.1% in Sep), turning the trade deficit to an unexpected surplus of US$42m (deficit of US$803m in Sep). While we think Nov will likely see the return of trade deficit, as the substantial jump in gas exports is most likely a short-lived boost, the Oct numbers represent a step in the right direction i.e. one of increased exports and depressed imports and reinforces our view of an improving current account deficit going into 2014 (-2.7% of GDP vs. -3.5% in 2013).
Exports grew for the first time in 19 months, expanding 2.6% yoy in Oct (-7.5% in Sep), beating our forecast (-6.3%) and the market consensus (-2.6%). Imports, on the other hand, fell 8.9% yoy (+1.1% in Sep), the largest annual contraction since Oct 2009. The potent combination of rising exports and falling imports yielded a trade surplus of US$42m in Oct. The one blip in an otherwise upbeat trade report was a revision in the Sep trade deficit to US$0.80bn from an earlier estimate of US$0.66bn. The sharp improvement in the O&G deficit to US$0.75bn from US$1.30bn in Sep was due to a pick-up in gas exports (+19.3% yoy vs. -28.7% in Sep) as well as a sharp contraction in O&G imports (-9.2% vs. +7.9% in Sep). In the non-O&G sector, broad-based gains in commodity-based and manufactured goods helped to increase non-O&G exports (+2.5% yoy in Oct vs. -6.4% in Sep). Conversely, slowing domestic demand held down import demand across consumer, raw material and capital goods.

A step in the right direction

We read the surprise surplus in Oct as an anomaly propelled by the large jump in gas exports and expect the gains to be given back in Nov. Nevertheless, Octs data are encouraging, especially the upturn in non-O&G exports and signs of lower oil imports. They strengthen our view that the external imbalances will narrow, with the current account deficit improving in 2014 (-2.7% of GDP vs. -3.5% in 2013) on the back of better export shipments and curtailed import demand.

Nov CPI Inflation stabilises


Inflation was fairly steady at 8.37% yoy in Nov (8.32% in Oct) as a dip in food inflation helped to equalise the rise in electricity prices. Echoing the headline trend, core prices were only marginally higher at 4.8% (4.73% in Oct). We think inflation is likely to undershoot our end-year forecast of 8.8% to 8.4% and will normalise following a drop in the statistical base in 2H14, giving BI the space to cut policy rates in 2H14. In the interim, potential surprises to the policy rate remain on the upside as BI negotiates the headwinds against the rupiah and current account.
Headline inflation was a tad higher at 8.37% yoy in Nov (8.32% in Oct), below our forecast of 8.6% and consensuss 8.45%. Sequentially, the increase was a shallow 0.12% mom (+0.09% in Oct). Core inflation held its ground at 4.80% yoy (4.73% in Oct). The administered index ticked up to 16.16% yoy (15.49% in Oct) due to higher electricity tariffs while the volatile index eased to 13.97% (13.49% in Oct) as food prices continued to moderate.

CPI inflation inched higher to 8.37% yoy in Nov

The low core inflation is affected by policies such as interest rates, and the fact that it remains lower than headline inflation reflects a stabilisation in our economy.
Suryamin, head of Central Statistics Agency

Lower food prices make up for higher electricity costs

Food inflation stayed on a downward trajectory, easing to 12.24% (12.62% in Oct) as prices of chicken, chili and eggs slipped. These made up for a rise in housing and utility costs (5.94% vs. 5.37% in Oct), which reflected the quarterly hike in electricity tariffs. Inflation for clothing, health and education items also recorded small increases. With few clear upward risks to prices, headline inflation is likely to undershoot our end-2013 target of 8.8% to around 8.4%. With Bank Indonesia (BI) projecting an inflation rate of 9.2-9.8% following the fuel price hike, the milder inflation turnout will be a relief. Inflation is expected to moderate substantially in 2H14, giving room to reduce the BI rate to 7% by end 2014. Despite this, potential policy rate surprises in 1H14 remain on the upside given the need to address the current account deficit and the persistent weakness of the rupiah.

Nov CPI inflation edges higher


Higher food and energy prices fed into headline inflation which rose to 1.92% yoy in Nov (1.46% in Oct), almost smack in the middle of our estimate of 2.0% and market consensus of 1.8%. Core inflation, an indicator of demand price pressures, also edged higher to 0.8% (0.7% in Oct), albeit within BOTs target range. The CPI is up 2.2% yoy in 11M13, in line with our forecast of 2.2% this year. Given weaker economic conditions and expectations of moderate oil prices next year, we are lowering our 2014 inflation forecast to 2.4% (vs. 2.8% previously; Commerce Ministry forecast of 2.0-2.8%).
Headline inflation rose to 1.92% yoy in Nov (1.46% in Oct), falling in between our estimate of 2.0% and market consensus of 1.8%. On a mom basis, consumer prices edged up 0.1% (0.2% in Oct). YTD, the CPI is up 2.2% yoy. Core inflation rose to 0.8% yoy (0.7% in Oct), at the lower end of the Bank of Thailands (BOT) target range of 0.5-3.0% and closely in line with our and market estimates of 0.8%. All CPI components rose except for clothing & footwear and housing & furnishing, which slowed marginally. Food and beverage (33.5% weight) increased 3.9% yoy (2.9% in Oct), transportation and communication rose 0.8% vs. 0.6% (25.5% weight), and tobacco & alcoholic beverages rose 3.9% vs. 3.5% (1.2% weight). Inflation of the energy component (11.4% weight) rose to 2.3% (1.7% in Oct) and raw food (15.5% weight) price inflation also accelerated to 6.2% (4.8% in Oct). BOT cut the policy rate by 25bp to 2.25% on 27 Nov amid brewing political and macroeconomic risks. The benign inflation outlook and decelerating private credit growth provide room for the central bank to focus on mitigating the downside risks to the economy. We expect the ongoing political turmoil to weigh heavily on consumer sentiment and private spending over the next few months. While BOT will need to weigh the impact of impending Fed QE tapering actions on capital flows, we think that shoring up domestic demand will be a priority and lower rates will ease the consumer debt burden and spur spending. As such, we think that there is downside risk for rates in 1H14.

Violence offers no solution


As expected, protest leaders escalated the crisis over the weekend in attempts to force the government to dissolve Parliament. There were some clashes between the protesters and government supporters. We believe the tension will last for some time, although the violence may subside a little during the Kings birthday this week.

A stronger balance sheet and efforts to raise its fee income make BBL attractive in the current volatile environment. Undemanding valuations also provide a buffer against downside.

Last month, we believed that the political crisis could last for some time and recommended a switch to more defensive stocks or those with less exposure to domestic demand. We retain that view and keep our 1,500 index target for end-CY14, based on 11.5x forward P/E, the markets last upcycle average. Our top picks are still BBL, IVL, PTTGC, BGH and DTAC. Over the weekend, anti-government protesters clashed with the redshirts (government supporters) in the Ram Kamheang area in eastern Bangkok, resulting in three deaths and the injury of about 50 people. Anti-government protesters are still rallying against the government in many areas, notably outside the Government House, Metropolitan Police Bureau and police headquarters. Over the weekend, the

police was forced to fire tear gas and water cannons at the crowds to prevent them from entering the premises.

What We Think

What Happened

We still believe that the government will not do anything; it will not arrest the protest leaders or use force to disperse the crowds. We also believe that Prime Minister Yingluck will not dissolve the House or resign. The redshirts decision to call off their rally on Sunday (1 Dec) confirms our view.

We remain cautious and advise investors to stick to defensive stocks. The timing of the political turmoil is unfortunate as it coincides with Thailands peak tourism season. If the situation drags on into 2014 (which we are expecting), the Thai economy will only suffer more.

Easing competition and a revival in petrol car demand augur well for leader Maruti. It has a large capacity headroom for medium-term growth and an attractive P/BV valuation, with cost-cutting measures and benefits from the yen depreciation as potential catalysts.

Hero Motocorp

The strong rural demand and its aggressive line-up of new product launches will help it to surpass industry growth. With savings from royalties and its cost-cutting initiative, we expect our EPS estimates that are 10-12% above consensus to come through.

The fall in demand from the festival peak in Oct was worse than expected. Except for Hero and Mahindra tractors, all the companies in our coverage recorded a yoy dip in sales volumes. We recently downgraded the sector to Neutral, with Maruti and Hero Motocorp as our top picks. A continued sharp mom fall in trucks highlights our Reduce call on truck and truck component makers. All the companies in our coverage recorded a sharp mom drop as the festival euphoria has passed. The high base of last years festival season also led to a sharp yoy dip. Rural demand remains robust, as reflected in Hero Motocorps (5.6%) and Mahindra tractors (13%) growth. Contrary to our expectation, the major disappointments were Ashok Leyland (-28%), Eicher CV (-28%) and Tata Motors (-21%). Our channel checks indicate a relatively comfortable dealer inventory for Maruti and Hero Motocorp.

What Happened

With the best of the demand season behind us, the triggers for a revival in retail demand will be the marriage season, year-end discounts and new products. A strong new product pipeline, coupled with rural demand, augurs well for Hero Motocorp and Maruti. The collapse of MHCV sales volumes to the 2008 levels and the trend of declining LCV volumes concern us. Our top picks are Maruti and Hero Motocorp, due to their relatively superior sales volumes and attractive P/BV valuations. Tata Motors continued mom weakness across its domestic product lines and JLR reaching the peak of the benefits of its product mix in the near term are the reasons for our non-consensus Reduce ratings on the stocks. With the best of tractor demand behind Mahindra, we rate it a Reduce. A continued downcycle in the CV segment drives our Reduce ratings on Eicher, Bosch and Bharat Forge.

What We Think

What You Should Do

Tata Motors

We feel that JLR is on the last leg of benefits from its enriched product mix, with RR sport ramping up and operational challenges from its China JV and Baby Jaguar underestimated at the current valuations. We rate it an Underperform as the business capital intensity risk is on the rise and its P/BV valuations are above the mean.

Gujarat HC orders higher royalty


The Gujarat High Courts ruling that the royalty on onshore crude be paid on gross billing (currently on oil price net of subsidy) is potentially negative for PSUs upstream earnings. However, it may not be implemented as a likely stay by the Supreme Court (ONGC to appeal) may be followed by the central governments intervention.

SOURCES: CIMB, COMPANY REPORTS

We retain our Neutral stance on the sector. We prefer a cheaper OIL India (6.5% dividend yield) over ONGC. As per media reports, the Gujarat High Court has directed ONGC to pay the royalty on crude produced onshore Gujarat on the gross billing rate and also to pay the underpaid amount for FY08-FY13. Under the current system, ONGC/OIL bear the fuel subsidy burden by providing a discount to OMCs on the crude purchased by the latter. Since royalty on crude (20% for onshore crude paid to respective state government & 10% for offshore crude paid to central govt.) is payable on the actual net back price to ONGC, the royalty liability is computed on the net oil price to the upstream companies (net of subsidy discount). The Gujarat state had contested this system, arguing that royalty should be paid on gross billing and not on the net (of subsidy) billing. Note that till FY08, royalty was paid on gross billing.

What Happened

Our Add rating is based on its cheaper valuations (6.5% dividend yield) compared to the larger peer ONGC.

What We Think

applied on gross billing, then it might compensate upstream via a lower subsidy burden. It is unlikely that the upstream firms would be the ultimate losers in the state vs. the centre issue (subsidy sharing is driven by GOI's mandate). Yet, assuming this order applies, it would be negative for PSUs upstream earnings. Firstly the cumulative liability for FY08-FY13 for ONGC is Rs86bn or Rs7/share impact on book value (net of tax). Also, on a recurring basis, it would cut earnings by 5.5% (Rs2/sh) & DCF valuation by Rs16/sh. This assumes the new royalty basis would apply to all the onshore crude produced in the country and not just Gujarat crude (3.8% hit on EPS). It is logical to assume that other states would follow in Gujarat's footsteps. Similarly it would hit OILs EPS by Rs15/sh (24%) and DCF valuation by Rs45/sh apart from the one-time book value impact of Rs46/sh. Note, the higher impact on OIL is because the whole of its crude is produced in onshore assets, unlike ONGC for which onshore forms a smaller proportion. The royalty headwinds might subside if SC stays Gujarat HCs order, which is quite likely in our view. We maintain Hold on ONGC (target price of Rs290) and Add on OIL (target price of Rs530).

While the HC order is negative for ONGC/OILs earnings, we see little probability of its implementation. Firstly, ONGC is likely to appeal against this order in the Supreme Court (within 60 days). Also, we believe GOI would step in to resolve the dispute. Indeed, if royalty is
