Purchase to be funded through debt. If the purchase of the 16-hectare lot pushes through,
BLOOM’s management said that it will fund the purchase through debt. While the debt is sizeable, 140
it is manageable relative to BLOOM’s cash generating capability. In 2016, BLOOM generated
Php6.3 Bil in cash from operating activities. For 2017 and 2018, we estimate that the company 130

will generate Php13.3 Bil and Php16 Bil in operating cash flow respectively. If we assume that 120
BLOOM can generate Php15 Bil in cash from operating activities each year, it should be able to
repay the debt in three years. 110

Minimal impact on DCF-based valuation. The impact of the land purchase to our DCF-based 100

The purchase of the land will have a positive effect on BLOOM’s net present value of cashflows to

WACC as the share of debt in its capital structure increases. This increases the value of BLOOM’s 14-Nov-17 14-Dec-17 14-Jan-18 14-Feb-18

discounted cash flow by 10.2% to Php195.9 Bil. However, net debt balance will increase by Php37 BLOOM PSEi

hectares out of the 16 hectare-lot that is still undeveloped (valued at Php15 Bil). The potential
impact to our DCF valuation is a 1.8% downside from current estimate of Php15.18 to Php14.91. ABSOLUTE PERFORMANCE

WED 14 FEB 2018

BLOOM in negotiations with PAGCOR for land purchase

After two failed biddings for PAGCOR’s 16-hectare land in Entertainment City, BLOOM has
entered into negotiations with PAGCOR for the purchase of the land. The subject land is where
BLOOM’s Solaire Resort and Casino is built upon. It is understandable that no other party is
interested in buying the lot for which the minimum asking price of is Php37.23 Bil because
BLOOM has the leasehold rights for the lots until 2033 and the annual rent is just around
Php500 Mil, which translates to a yield of around 1.34%.

Long term positive for BLOOM

From a purely financial standpoint, BLOOM’s purchase of the land may look unattractive given
that they will only save around Php500 Mil in annual rent expense in exchange for Php37.23 Bil
(1.34% yield on investment). However, from a long-term investment point of view it makes a lot
of sense. First of all, it will secure the US$1.2 Bil investment BLOOM made on Solaire. Currently,
BLOOM is the only integrated resort operator that doesn’t own its land which puts it at risk
once the lease contract expires. Second, with land prices in Entertainment City increasing at
a rapid pace, this may be BLOOM’s best chance to buy the land. Last year alone, land values in
the Bay City increased 26% y/y to Php250,000/sqm according to Leechiu Property Consultants.

Purchase to be funded through debt

If the purchase of the 16-hectare lot pushes through, BLOOM’s management said that it
will fund the purchase through debt. While the debt is sizeable, it is manageable relative
to BLOOM’s cash generating capability. In 2016, BLOOM generated Php6.3 Bil in cash from
operating activities. For 2017 and 2018, we estimate that the company will generate Php13.3
Bil and Php16 Bil in operating cash flow respectively. If we assume that BLOOM can generate
Php15 Bil in cash from operating activities each year, it should be able to repay the debt in
three years.

Negative impact to net income

If the transaction pushes through and BLOOM funds it through debt, it will have a negative
impact on net income. Assuming that BLOOM buys the land, we estimate that the company’s
EBITDA will improve by around 3% for 2018, 2019, and 2020 as they will no longer pay rent for
the land. However, we estimate that interest expense will increase by 75% in 2018 and 100% in
2019 and 2020, leading to a net income reduction of 15% for 2018, 20.5% for 2019, and 19.1%
for 2020.

to the potential impact to our net income estimates. The purchase of the land will have a
positive effect on BLOOM’s net present value of cashflows to firm because rental payments will

IMPORTANT RATING DEFINITIONS

BUY
Stocks that have a BUY rating have attractive fundamentals and valuations based on our analysis. We expect the share price to outperform the market in the next six to
12 months.

HOLD
Stocks that have a HOLD rating have either 1) attractive fundamentals but expensive valuations 2) attractive valuations but near-term earnings outlook might be poor
or vulnerable to numerous risks. Given the said factors, the share price of the stock may perform merely in line or underperform in the market in the next six to twelve
months.

SELL
We dislike both the valuations and fundamentals of stocks with a SELL rating. We expect the share price to underperform in the next six to12 months.
