A solid 3QFY12 results9MFY12 net profit of RM74.8m (+11% y-o-y) was 66% and 71% of our and consensus
full-year forecasts respectively. We consider the results to be within expectation as
we expect earnings to ramp up further from 4Q 2012 onwards driven by new capacity
expansion and the lower-than-expected raw material latex price. We like Kossan
because of: (i) its undemanding valuations. Kossan is trading at 9x FY12 EPS compared
to Top Gloves 20x; (ii) The company is moving up the value chain by offering higher
margin surgical and clean room gloves; and (iii) its product mix of less natural rubber
glove which is sensitive to movements in latex price. Maintain Buy and a target price
of RM4.66 based on 11x FY13 EPS.
Results highlights Sequentially, 3QFY12 revenue came in at RM322m (+6%) led by (i) rubber gloves
division (+7%) and cleanroom gloves (+28%). Overall volume sales rose
approximately between 12% and 15% on the back of new capacity expansion.
This brings 3QFY12 net profit to RM29m (+24%) due to pre-tax profit contributionfrom the technical rubber products and gloves divisions of 25% and 28%,
respectively which more than offset the start-up losses of the clean room product
division (-RM0.1m) and a higher effective tax rate. The solid results were further
strengthened by a lower average input raw material cost (latex), which led to an
increase in 2Q EBITDA margin which rose 2 ppts to 16%.
A 5 sen tax exempt dividend was declared, which will go ex-dividend on 6 Dec 2012.Outlook
New capacity with secured buyers. Commercial operations of the new productionlines are expected to contribute to earnings growth in subsequent quarters and in
2013. We understand that the nine-line production plant which is set to produce
1.3bn nitrile gloves pa is commercially ready. The production lines for the remaining
balance of 700m surgical gloves are expected to be completed by Jan 2013. The
new capacity would increase output by 2bn gloves to 14bn. Kossan has managed to
secure buyers for more than 85% of the new capacity.
Management expects the clean room gloves division to break even in FY12.Impact on valuation and recommendation Maintain Buy with a target price of RM4.66 based on 11x FY13 EPS. We like Kossan
because of: (i) its undemanding valuations. Kossan is trading at 9x FY12 EPS
compared to Top Gloves 20x FY12 EPS. (ii) The company is moving up the value
chain by offering higher margin surgical and clean room gloves; and (iii) its product
mix contains less natural rubber glove which is sensitive to movements in latex
price.
Key risks to our earnings forecast includes: (i) higher-than-expected natural latexprice; and (ii) lower-than-expected sales volume.
