SMID Caps 3Q12 Review McapUSD108m ADTV USD0.05m PNJ: Phu Nhuan Jewelry (PNJ VN) Thoa Dang 8 Cons. Discr | Exports – A new Catalsyt| BUY | Upside 16% ‐ PNJ’s 9M12 revenue plunged 66% YoY due to the collapse in PNJ’s gold

bullion bar business because of the State’s decision to monopolise gold bar production. To make matters worse, same‐store‐sales were down about 6% because of the weak economy, but recurring profits only fell 11% because the gross margin on gold bullion bars is only 1%.

‐ Gross margin expanded from 3.8% to 8.7%, because the revenue contribution of the gold jewellery segment (gross margin of 11%) increased from 28% to 54%, while revenue from the production of gold bars (gross margins of 1%) decreased from 70% to 43% in 9M12 and because of gradual shift in PNJ’s revenues from wholesale sales which carry 2% gross margins to retail sales which have a 20% gross margin.

‐ PNJ is trading at a PEG of 0.9x (FY13 PER of 9.5x versus expected earnings growth of 11%) and with a 7% dividend yield. We expect the stock’s foreign ownership limit to be reached soon.

3Q12 REVIEW | TP UPGRADE Mcap USD0.6b ADTV USD0.2m PH: ABS-CBN Corp (ABS; ABSP) Lovell Sarreal 9 Cons. Discr |Airtime Revenue Picks Up in 3Q12 | HOLD | Upside 7.7%

‐ ABS‐CBN Corp’s (ABS/ ABSP) 9M12 net income went up 9.9% YoY to PHP1.55b after excluding one‐off gains in 9M11. This already exceeded our full‐year 2012 net income forecast of PHP1.35b.

‐ Operating income grew 81.2% to PHP819m in 3Q12. We attribute the 81.2% growth in 3Q12 operating income to the acceleration in gross airtime revenue growth, as well as the slower rise in production cost in 3Q12.

‐ Sky Cable revenues jumped 44% in 3Q12, on subscription revenues from newly acquired Destiny Cable. Other revenues also jumped 96% due to acquisition of the wireless fixed‐line business of affiliate Bayan Telecommunications Inc.

‐ We raise our target price to PHP36.5/sh from PHP31/sh previously. With potential upside of less than 10%, we maintain our HOLD rating.

Company Notes 9M12 REVIEW McapUSD108m ADTV US0.15m VN:Vinh Son Song Hinh (VSH VN) DiepThi Ngoc Trinh 10 Utilities | New PPA a Potential Catalyst | 7% ‐ Vinh Son Hydro and state owned electricity distribution monopoly

Electricity Vietnam (EVN) have been without a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) since the old one expired in 2008 because they can’t agree on a renewal price, but it seems that a new PPA is imminent.

‐ EVN has been pressuring VSH to accept a low PPA price because of its own financial problems. It has been paying VSH very low prices for electricity in 2012 which has caused VSH’s earnings to fall about 30%.

‐ Our understanding is that VSH has the support of the powerful State Capital Investment Corporation (SCIC) so it’s likely that the new PPA between EVN and VSH will reinstate the previous PPA prices and those prices will be retroactively applied to 2010‐2012.

3Q12 REVIEW | TP McapUSD2.5b ADTV US0.4m VN: Vietcombank (VCB VN) Van Ngo 11 Financials |Earnings Dragged By Bad Debt | HOLD | Upside 2% ‐ 9M12 net earnings fell 4%YoY. VCB’s9M12 earnings fell 4% YoYeven

though pre‐provision operating profits were up 10% YoY. The gap was due to a 50% YoY rise in its 9M12 provision expenses which helped to reduce VCB’s NPL ratio from 3.9% in 9M11 to 3.4% in 9M12.

‐ Net interest income fell 7% YoY, despite strong loan growth to end customers of 20% YoY because the bank’s NIM shrank by 90bps YoY to 3.2%. NIM compression was due to VCB’s cut in lending rates for favoured industries, based on the central bank’s directive.

‐ We are reiterating our HOLD rating because we expect our FY12 and FY13 net earnings growth of 3% and 6%, respectively, because a large capital injection by Mizuho in 1Q12 will cause the bank’s ROE to nearly half over the next few years, and because valuation is not compelling at FY13F PER and PBR of 11.8x and 1.3x respectively.

VN: Industry Report M. Kokalari, CFA 12 Vietnam’s Coal Industry ‐ The market capitalizations of Vietnam’s 8 listed coal companies are a

small fraction of the value of their coal reserves because the companies are obligated to sell their coal to the government at below‐market‐prices.

‐ Concerns about off‐market pricing have made the stocks too cheap on a PE, PB and/or dividend yield basis, because investors are viewing the stocks the wrong way. Vietnam’s coal companies are essentially contract miners, albeit with operating margins that are about half what they would be paid in Indonesia. This could be the perfect time to pick up high yielders for defensiveness.

‐ There are signs that things may be about to change in the industry, and that has prompted a significant increase in the number of inquiries about those stocks we’ve received from our institutional and retail clients. This note summarizes the answers to our investors’ recent questions about the sector.

COMPANY UPDATE McapUSD0.8b ADTV US0.3m SG: Goodpack Ltd James Koh 13 Industrials |Earnings Dragged By Bad Debt | HOLD | Upside 18.4% ‐ Our recent discussions with management suggest that business

conditions remain difficult for Goodpack, as a result of an overall slowdown in activities in China as well as Europe.

‐ Nonetheless, we think the decent growth in the recent seasonally weaker

‐ 1Q13 results proves that Goodpack has a resilient business model. ‐ Key‐catalyst still remains progress on the auto‐parts vertical. On the

other hand, slower demand and subsequently capex for new boxes may lead to dividend surprises, given its low‐gearing of 15% currently. Maintain BUY with a TP of SGD2.25, now pegged to 20x PER.

RHB Capital Improving Fundamentals

Above consensus. 9M12 net profit of MYR1.38b was within our forecast (77% of full year) but above consensus (83%) for the second quarter running. On expectations of higher credit costs in 4Q, our forecasts are maintained. Positively, RHB Cap’s fundamentals continue to improve and the completion of the OSKIB merger will help strengthen its investment banking platform. Trading at a 2013 PER of just 9.9x and P/BV of 1.2x (ROAE: 12.5%) vs 12.4x and 2.0x respectively for its peers (ROAE: 16.6%), RHB Cap is still the cheapest bank in our portfolio. Buy with a TP of MYR8.70 (2013 P/BV of 1.4x).

Operational improvements. The consensus beat would have come mainly from a lumpy recovery in 3Q provisions and credit costs are expected to normalize (historical run-rate is 26-27 bps) in 4Q. Operationally, nevertheless, fundamentals have picked up - loan growth of 12.8% YoY is faster than the industry’s 12% and what is positive is that NIMs have been stable (-2bps QoQ). What is also encouraging is that the group has regained CASA and overall deposit market share while liquidity has improved with a LDR of 85% vs 88% end-June.

EPS accretive in 18-24 months. Management estimates OSKIB integration costs of MYR86m (vs our initial estimate of MYR50m) but expects MYR324m of synergies over three years. Guidance is for about MYR60m of the synergies to accrue in the first year, MYR90m in the second year and the balance in year three. The group has seen its corporate/investment banking market share slip significantly over the past year and with this merger complete, the group is in a strong position to regain lost ground, in our view.

Bank Mestika - looking to move ahead. Management has finalized the structure and key terms to the deal and a resubmission will be made to Bank Indonesia by end-2012. Management is resolute in acquiring the bank, even if it implies an initial 40% stake. The corresponding rights issue of MYR1.3b earlier on, will be scaled back in accordance with the reduced shareholding.

Mahindra Satyam (SCS) Growth Momentum to Continue into 2H

1H EPS of Rs5.4, +36% YoY. SCS registered strong EPS growth, led by INR depreciation, improving employee utilization, and rationalization of SG&A expenses owing to sales force integration with Tech Mahindra (TEHM). We expect growth in software services to the manufacturing and financial services sectors to drive growth in 2H. Further, stable GM and lower FX losses are expected to drive 16% EPS growth in 2H vs. 1H. We maintain our FY13 forecast and TP of Rs116/sh based on PER of 10x FY13F. The stock has declined 5% in November. We upgrade SCS to BUY from HOLD with an upside of 11%. Manufacturing and financial services segment drive 1H revenue (+27% YoY). SCS has seen strong uptick in software services to both sectors, following a QoQ decline in 4QFY12. The proportion of revenue from software services to the manufacturing sector increased to 35% in 2QFY13 vs. 32% in 4QFY12 and that to the financial services sector increased to 20% vs. 19% in 4QFY12. SCS has displayed strong momentum in the manufacturing sector, especially in oil & gas services, aerospace, and defense. 1H revenue constitutes 49% of our FY13F revenue of Rs78.2bn (+22%). 1H gross margin of 38.8% (+400bp YoY). This increase was driven by INR depreciation vs. the USD and improving employee utilization. SCS believes it can further improve employee utilization, driven by continued revenue growth. Due to this and lower FX losses, we expect EPS of Rs6.2, +16% vs. 1H. We maintain our FY13 EPS growth of 14%. Bombay High court approves merger with TECHM. Now, only an approval from the Andhra Pradesh High Court is pending. SCS’s management is optimistic of receiving the same before end-FY13. Uncertainty over cases related to the previous promoters is a mild headwind. SCS had earlier said stated that it plans to legally challenge the Enforcement Directorate order on money-laundering involving its previous management. Nevertheless, SCS has provided Rs12.3bn for such contingencies and we do not think they would have a material impact on the company’s fundamentals. Attractive PER of 9x FY13F and 8x FY14F. We believe the valuations are attractive. Acquisitions using surplus cash present upside trigger to our forecast.

Strategy 23 November 2012

Indonesia

Strategy Minimum Wage Increases: Winners & Losers

Each year, the minimum wage (basic wage for workers with up to a 12-month employment stint with a company) is determined by regional governments based on the recommendations of the Compensation Council. The rate of increase proposed would take into account inflation and other factors. The Council conducts surveys on reasonable living costs to propose increase in the minimum wage. In 2012, minimum wage increases range from 3% to 19% YoY. Because Jakarta is the largest province in Indonesia and employs the most workers, it was assigned the highest minimum wage (IDR1,529 or USD159 per month) and the greatest increase of 19%.

IDR

Source: Bappenas The Governor of Jakarta finally relented to pressure from workers and labour unions and approved a 44% YoY increase of the minimum wage to IDR2,216,243 (USD230) for the year of 2013, making it the highest increase over the past ten years. Between 2002 and 2012, the increase had ranged between 5% (in 2010) and 39% (in 2002). As Jakarta is the largest province in Indonesia and employs the most workers, it is almost always assigned the highest amount of minimum wage and the greatest increase. While the obvious impact of the higher minimum wage is higher costs, we believe that the additional wages to be paid by the publicly listed companies will be less than the actual rate of increase decided by the government (i.e., 44% for Jakarta); most of these companies already pay its workers above the minimum wage.

Company Update 23 November 2012

Singapore Co. Reg No: 198700034E

MICA (P) : 099/03/2012

Goodpack Ltd Resilient amidst difficult conditions

Steady 1Q13 results. Our recent discussions with management suggest that business conditions remain difficult for Goodpack, as a result of an overall slowdown in activities in China as well as Europe. Nonetheless, we think the decent growth in the recent seasonally weaker 1Q13 results proves that Goodpack has a resilient business model. Recurring net profit still grew 15%. Stripping out a USD0.6m gain from disposal of PPE in the corresponding period last year, recurring income still grew 15% to USD13m, despite a US1.5m swing in foreign exchange gain. This appears to be operating leverage from better trade lane matching, as revenue grew 11% against logistics costs of 6%. Europe and China are slow. The former makes up about 20% of group revenue and is especially slow due to weaker demand for commercial vehicles. Over in China, overall manufacturing activities have slowed down, impacting demand for both synthetic rubber and natural rubber. In terms of product verticals, natural rubber has seen more slowdown due to the narrower application and Goodpack’s bigger market share. On the auto parts market, progress has been disappointingly slow, as customers are more pre-occupied with their slowing business. Additional business from synthetic plants in Singapore. Management shared that two of the six new synthetic rubber plants in Singapore should come onstream in 3QFY13F. With a combined capacity of 150,000 tpa, we estimate this will be a requirement of about 30-50k new boxes. Out of the 6 plants, Goodpack has signed with 4 so far, which should again add on to this requirement. Goodpack’s IBC fleet is currently estimated at 2.8m and addition this year should be around 250k. Earnings usually come back stronger. With the likely slower progression on the auto-front, we trim our FY14F-FY15F earnings by 5-9% while keeping FY13F largely unchanged. This is still a resilient business which we think investors should hold over the longer-term. Key-catalyst still remains progress on the auto-parts vertical. On the other hand, slower demand and subsequently capex for new boxes may lead to dividend surprises, given its low-gearing of 15% currently. Maintain BUY with a TP of SGD2.25, now pegged to 20x PER.

Phu Nhuan Jewelry (PNJ) Exports – A New Catalyst

Revenues hurt by elimination of gold bars and weak retail sales. PNJ’s 9M12 revenue plunged 66% YoY due to a reduction in gold bullion bar production, trading and export because of the State’s decision to monopolise gold bar production. To make matters worse, same-store-sales were down about 6% because of the weak economy, which pushed profit from the retail sector down 4%.

Weak 9M12 core profit. PNJ’s 9M12 net profit increased about 12% YoY to VND221b thanks to extraordinary income from the sale of its Dai Viet Energy subsidiary, an LPG gas distributer. Without this nonrecurring gain, the company’s net profit would have declined 11% because of the above-mentioned issues.

Expanding margins. Despite the issues mentioned above, the company’s margins are actually expanding. Gross margin expanded from 3.8% to 8.7%, because the revenue contribution of the gold jewellery segment (gross margin of 11%) increased from 28% to 54%, while revenue from the production of gold bars (gross margins of 1%) decreased from 70% to 43%. Gold jewellery now contributes 70% of the company’s gross profit. Another factor pushing margins higher is the shift from low margin wholesale revenues to higher margin retail and export sales as company opens new store and also expands its jewellery exporting business. The retail and wholesale segments carry gross margins of 20% and 2%, respectively.

New catalyst from exports. PNJ’s new factory began operating in Oct 2011, which increased overall capacity by 60%. PNJ plans to use some of this additional capacity to treble revenue from jewellery exports by 2017 to about 10% of revenues. The company has already secured a contract to sell jewellery in Costco’s stores in the USA starting next year, and expects these exports to generate gross margins of 11%.

Valuation. PNJ is quite cheap, currently trading at a PEG of 0.8x (FY13 PER of 9x versus expected earnings growth of 11%). Another positive is its 7% dividend yield, although its payout ratio is a bit high at 70%. Investors need to act quickly before the stock’s foreign ownership limit is reached. Maintain BUY.

Vinh Son Song Hinh (VSH) New PPA a Potential Catalyst

New PPA imminent. Vinh Son Hydro and state owned electricity distribution monopoly Electricity Vietnam (EVN) have been without a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) since the old one expired in 2008 because they can’t agree on a price. VSH wants to keep the PPA prices unchanged at VND476/kWh in the rainy season and VND580/kWh in the dry season, while EVN is wants a much lower PPA price.

Pressure from EVN unlikely to be effective. This year EVN has been paying VSH 61% of the old PPA price for the electricity VSH produces, presumably to pressure VSH into accepting a lower PPA price, but Vinh Son has strong support from the State Capital Investment Corporation (which holds 24% of VSH’s shares), so we think it is very likely that PPA prices will remain unchanged, and will be retroactive to 2010. We expect the new PPA to be signed either at the end of this year or early next year.

EVN in financial trouble. EVN has been requesting lower PPA prices since 2010, because of its financial difficulties. The company owes PetroVietnam VND13,000b, most of which is payables for purchasing electricity. In addition, EVN currently needs a substantial amount of capital for infrastructure investments. Other power companies, such as TBC and PPC, also had difficulties negotiating PPAs with EVN.

9M12 performance. VSH’s 9M12 revenue and pretax profit dropped 26.7% and 29.9% YoY, respectively, because FY12 revenue has been booked at prices equivalent to 61% of the old PPA price, while the FY11 revenue was booked at prices equivalent to 90% of the old selling price.

FY12 forecasts. We think it’s likely that VSH will resume selling electricity to EVN at the same prices that it charged EVN before the old PPA expired and we think that these old prices, which are considerably higher than the price EVN is currently paying to VSH will be applied retroactively to 2010-2012. The only open question is whether the new PPA will be signed this year (unlikely) or next year (more likely). Those two different scenarios lead to quite different earnings and valuations numbers for 2012, although the cashflows to VSH would essentially be the same in either scenario. In the more likely case that the new PPA is signed next year, then, since FY11 revenue is currently booked with prices at 90% of the PPA old prices, and FY11 is being booked at 61% of the old PPA prices then FY12 revenue and pretax profit would plunge 29% and 39% YoY respectively.

Vietcombank (VCB) Earnings Dragged By Bad Debt

9M12 net earnings fell 4% YoY. VCB posted 9M12 net earnings of VND3,354b, down 4% YoY (vs. a peer average increase of 2%) although its pre-provision operating profits (PPOP) were still up 10% YoY. The gap was due to a 50% YoY rise in its 9M12 provision expenses given the worsening bad debt situation in the banking sector.

Net interest income fell 7% YoY. Despite strong loan growth to end customers of 20% YoY, 9M12 net interest income fell 7% YoY to VND8,502b (vs. a peer average increase of 12% YoY) as its NIM shrank by 90bps YoY to 3.2%. NIM compression was due to VCB’s cut in lending rates for favoured industries, based on the central bank’s directive to the entire banking sector to lower interest rates, especially for loans to industrial & agriculture companies.

Non-interest income tripled YoY. 9M12 non-interest income including revenues via fees & commissions, treasury operations, dividends and other income tripled YoY to VND2,522b. This apparent, exceptional growth resulted from the previous misclassification of VND1,200b as “other expenses” rather than as “interest expenses”. Last year VCB mobilised deposits at interest rates which were above the official interest cap by paying addition “bonus fees” to customers that were booked as “other expenses”. Assuming that those expenses were in the right place last year, 9M12 non-interest income would have risen 20% YoY (and the 9M11 NIM would have been 3.5% instead of 4.2%)

Provision expenses spiked YoY. 9M12 provision expenses spiked by 50% YoY as the bank wrote off VND1,074b of bad loans (equivalent to 14% of its non-performing loans). This helped to reduce VCB’s NPL ratio from 3.9% in 9M11 to 3.4% in 9M12.

Reiterate HOLD. We expect our FY12 and FY13 net earnings growth of 3% and 6%, respectively. A large capital injection by Mizuho in 1Q12 increased VCB’s equity by 40%, causing the bank’s ROE to decline from an average of 21% over 2009-2011 to an expected 12% for the next few years. The stock is trading at an FY13F PER and PBR of 11.8x and 1.3x respectively. HOLD reiterated.

Low enterprise values and valuations. The market capitalizations of Vietnam’s 8 listed coal companies are a small fraction of the value of their coal reserves because those coal reserves are still technically owned by Vinacomin, Vietnam’s SOE coal company, and those listed coal companies are obligated to sell their coal production to Vinacomin at below-market-prices. Concerns about the fact that these listed coal companies are obligated to sell their coal to Vinacomin have made these stocks very cheap on traditional valuation metrics like PE, PB and dividend yield, but we think the stocks are trading too cheap because investors are viewing the stocks the wrong way.

Misunderstood businesses. Many investors focus on the comparison between the enterprise values of the listed companies and what the enterprise values of those companies would be if they owned their coal reserves and were allowed to sell the coal they produce at market prices (ie investors think the stock prices would be 20-30x higher if they were allowed to sell their coal to whoever they want).

Vietnam’s listed coal companies are really contract miners. The faux-comparison identified above (value of coal reserves vs. enterprise value) ignores the fact that Vietnam’s listed coal companies are essentially contract miners so the appropriate metric to focus on is not the below-market price that they sell their coal to Vinacomin at but rather the profit margin of the contract mining activity they undertake for Vinacomin. The operating margins of the listed companies are too low, but their margins are not low enough to justify the low valuations.

Increased investor interest. Recent developments have given some investors the impression that the industry is now headed in the right direction. One sophisticated investor, REE, a listed Vietnamese conglomerate with property, air conditioning, and resources businesses is buying listed coal shares.

A response to investors’ questions. Some of our overseas institutional clients and local retail clients have taken an interest in the sector, and this note is a summary of information we’ve compiled for those investors. It is not clear that change in the industry is imminent and frankly speaking, investors’ reaction to the information presented in this report has been muted.

ABS-CBN Corp Airtime Revenue Picks Up in 3Q12

9M12 earnings exceeded our full-year forecast. ABS-CBN Corp (ABS/ ABSP) disclosed 9M12 net income of PHP1.55b, up 9.9% YoY after excluding PHP825m one-off in 9M11. While this already exceeds our 2012F net income of PHP1.35b, we note ABS-CBN posted a net loss in 4Q11. Consolidated net revenues grew 13.5% to PHP21.5b, 74.9% of our full-year forecast of PHP28.7b while operating costs grew 14.3% to PHP19.5b, 72.9% of our forecast PHP26.8b. Operating income hit PHP1.94b, up 5.9% in 9M12 and ahead our 2012 target of PHP1.87b.

Strong operating income growth highlights 3Q12 results. Operating income grew 81.2% to PHP819m in 3Q12. We attribute this to the faster growth in gross airtime revenue of 15.4% in 3Q12 from 4.7% in 1H12 helped by better TV ratings. This brings the 9M12 gross airtime revenues to PHP14.5b, up 8.4% YoY and 75.9% of our 2012 forecast of PHP19.1b. However, we got indications from management that October and early November gross airtime revenue growth has not been as strong. Meanwhile, production cost grew at a slower rate of 9% to PHP2.61b in 3Q12 and was up 9.7% to PHP7.6b in 9M12

Consumer sales up mainly due to acquisitions early this year. ABS-CBN Global revenues were generally flat in 3Q12 and 9M12, amounting to PHP1.22b and PHP3.56b, respectively, still adversely affected by the weak global economy. On the other hand, Sky Cable revenues jumped 44% to PHP1.5b in 3Q12 and up 29.3% in 9M12, boosted by subscription revenues from newly-acquired Destiny Cable. Other revenues also jumped 96% to PHP642m in 3Q12 and up 68% to PHP1.83b, boosted by acquisition of the wireless fixed-line business of affiliate Bayan Telecommunications Inc (Bayantel).

Earnings, target price upgraded but still rated HOLD. Taking into account management guidance for a minimum net income of PHP1.6b, we have raised our net income forecast 21% to PHP1.63b for 2012 and 2.7% to PHP1.89b for 2013. We have also raised 18% our DCF-based target price to PHP36.50/sh. With the potential share price upside less than 10%, we maintain our HOLD rating on ABSP.

Post the recent share price correction (-14% YTD), YTLP’s implied net yield is now c.3%, while FY13 P/BV multiple, at 1.1x, is at its trough. Our target price is DCF-based which implies 16.7x FY13 PER.

Contraction in utilities earnings. Revenue at the Malaysian power plants declined 4% YoY due to plant maintenance. This in turn led to a 41% fall in pre-tax profit. At Singapore, Power Seraya’s pre-tax profit contracted 6% YoY, as higher fuel costs more than offset the impact of higher sales volumes. Wessex’s pre-tax profit also declined, due to a combination of cost inflation and higher depreciation.

Narrowing of Wimax losses. Wimax losses narrowed to MYR61m from MYR95m in 4QFY6/12 on the back of a 42% increase in revenue. We attribute this to increased billings from the 1BestariNet project. There has been organic growth, albeit from a low base. Assuming a quarterly revenue run-rate of MYR75m from 1BestariNet, the implied residual revenue for the Wimax business is MYR27m, double that of 1QFY6/12.

Balance sheet remains relatively robust for now. Despite the marginal QoQ increase in gross debt, net gearing levels declined to 1.36x from 1.42x in Jun 2012. There was no significant increase in capex this quarter, which in turn suggests the group’s capex plans could be back-end loaded. The chance that dividends will revert to FY6/11 levels remains slim in our view.

Value building up. YTLP’s share price has declined 14% YTD, and is now trading close to trough valuations on both a PER and P/BV basis. While uncertainty continues to linger over 1) the intentions of its major shareholder, and 2) the continued opacity of its operations, value continues to build for its assets. We keep our target price and rating unchanged pending an update with management.

Multi-Purpose Holdings Dividends Make A Comeback

And now, for the demerger. Although weighed down by investment

losses, Multi-Purpose Holdings’ (MPHB) 3Q12 core results were within

expectations. More importantly, its gaming fundamentals are intact. As

expected, an interim DPS of 6sen less tax was declared after a two-

quarter drought. Maintain BUY with a SOP-based MYR4.43 TP.

Within expectations; dividends return. 3Q12 core net profit of

MYR57.3m (-9% YoY, -54% QoQ) brought 9M12 core net profit to

MYR257.8m (+18% YoY), within expectations at 73% of our full-year

estimate. 9M12 revenue of MYR2.6b (-1% YoY) was also within

expectations at 76% of our FY12 estimate. After a two-quarter drought,

a first and interim DPS of 6sen less tax (9M11: 5sen less tax) was

declared, as we had expected.

Weighed down by investment losses. 3Q12 core net profit was 9%

lower YoY due to a MYR17.8m FV investment loss (under Corporate &

others) which was 76% higher YoY, and higher gaming opex. 3Q12

core net profit was 54% lower QoQ due to the FV investment loss vs.

an investment gain of MYR21.6m (from FV changes and disposals) in

2Q12 and higher tax expenses offset by lower prize payout ratio QoQ.

Gaming fundamentals intact. 9M12 gaming revenue of MYR2.3b (-

2% YoY) was within expectations at 76% of our full-year estimate.

9M12 pretax profit of MYR246.9m (-21% YoY) was also within

expectations at 73% of our FY12 estimate. It is difficult to forecast

investment gains and losses but we are comfortable with our gaming

estimates. Therefore, we leave our core earnings estimates unchanged.

Maintain BUY call and SOP-based TP of MYR4.43. At current levels,

investors who BUY MPHB will hold Magnum, the only Malaysian-listed

pure NFO going forward, and get MPHB’s property assets for free

(Table 1). The demerger of the non-gaming businesses (MPHB Capital)

from the gaming business (Magnum) is on track. The former's

prospectus will be issued by year-end and it will be listed in Jan 2013.

Lafarge Malayan Cement Rock Solid Results

In line. 3Q12 net profit of MYR96m (+17% QoQ, +35% YoY) lifted 9M12 net profit to MYR243m (+21% YoY), with 9M12 figures making up 68% of our and 65% of the street’s full-year forecasts. We expect a stronger 4Q12 on the 6% cement ASP hike in Aug 2012 and falling coal costs (4Q: -7% QoQ). Investors may look forward to significantly higher dividends in 4Q vs. our and the market’s expectation of a 3.8-4.0% net yield given LMC’s historically high cash pile. We maintain our forecasts, BUY rating and TP of MYR10.10 (21x FY13 PER).

Driven by volume and margin expansion. Strong 3Q12 net profit of MYR96m (+17% QoQ, +35% YoY) was driven by: (i) higher sales volumes, with 9M12 sales volumes up 11% YoY (6M12: +9% YoY); and (ii) higher EBITDA margins of 23% (+1.9-ppt QoQ, +2.1-ppt YoY) on higher ASPs following a gross ASP hike of 6% in Aug 2012 and lower coal costs (-9% QoQ, -28% YoY).

Optimistic on dividend surprise in 4Q12. LMC declared a DPS of 8sen for the quarter, bringing YTD DPS to 24sen, similar to 9M11. We believe final DPS may surpass our 22sen and the market’s 13sen expectations, in view of its strong cashflow-generating ability (equity FCF per quarter: 15sen/shr) and low capex obligations. LMC’s net cash has risen to MYR285m (34sen/shr) as at end-Sep 2012 (+20% QoQ) and the company is almost debt free (total debt is just MYR2m).

Maintaining forecasts. We maintain our below-consensus forecasts, which already incorporate a strong 4Q12 amid falling coal costs (-7% QoQ) and the cement ASP hike in Aug 2012. We think the premium valuation attached to LMC is warranted given the prospects of a higher dividend payout and visible cement demand growth from various large-scale infrastructure projects (LRT extension, Sg Buloh-Kajang MRT, Tanjung Bin and Janamanjung power plants).

Kossan Rubber Industries Recognition Here

Strong results support our BUY call. Kossan’s 3Q12 net profit of MYR29m (+24% QoQ, +24% YoY) lifted 9M12 net profit to MYR75m (+11% YoY), making up 74% of our and 71% of the market’s full-year forecasts. We expect a re-rating of the stock given its strong results, flattish share price performance and cheap forward PER of 8.5x. Maintain BUY and TP of MYR3.75 (10x FY13 PER).

Driven by volume and margin expansion. Strong 3Q12 results were driven by its glove manufacturing division on higher sales volume of around 3b pcs (+15% QoQ, +25% YoY). Kossan’s overall pretax margins expanded 2.2ppts QoQ to 12% on lower input costs (latex: -13% QoQ, NBR: -14% QoQ). Glove pretax margins rose 2ppts QoQ while TRP rose 3.4ppts. Additionally, though its cleanroom division was still in the red, pretax losses, mostly due to costs related to new product development, narrowed to MYR0.1m (2Q12: MYR0.3m).

Expansions in plan. Commercialisation of an additional 700m pcs of surgical glove capacity is set to take place in Dec 2012, boosting total annual capacity to 14.7b pcs (+5% since Jul 2012) and potentially contributing around 18% to Kossan’s FY13 revenue. Meanwhile, its plans to expand into Indonesia (TRP business, rubber plantation) are ongoing, and we expect the company to ink several deals in this regard sometime in 2013.

Maintaining forecasts. We maintain our capacity-driven earnings forecasts, projecting growth of 10% in FY12 and 19% in FY13. Trading at a prospective PER of just 8.5x, Kossan is cheap compared to the 14x PER average of larger-cap glove producers, and 10-12x for smaller peers (Adventa, Latexx Partner) based on recent M&A activities.

Media Prima Lukewarm 3Q12

A nonchalant quarter. Although Media Prima’s (MPR) 3Q12 earnings were within expectations, we are wary that 3Q12 viewership share was down 3 ppts YoY and 1 ppt QoQ. This will likely translate into slower net TV adex growth going forward, which we have imputed into our earnings forecasts. We maintain our TP of MYR2.47 despite rolling forward valuations and keeping our earnings forecasts unchanged. The stock is fairly valued now trading at FY13 PER of 12x.

Within expectations. 3Q12 net profit of MYR59.1m (+11% YoY,+4% QoQ) brought 9M12 net profit to MYR136.7m (+3% YoY) or 65% of our full year estimate. Historically, 9M net profit comprises 65-70% of full year net profit. 9M12 revenue of MYR1.2b (+2% YoY) was also within expectations at 74% of our 2012 estimate. A second single tier DPS of 3sen (+0% YoY) was declared, also within expectations.

EBITDA flattish YoY and QoQ. 3Q12 net profit was 11% higher YoY due to maiden earnings by New Media coupled with lower corporate expenses. That said, TV, radio and print recorded lower earnings YoY on higher direct costs (content and overheads). 3Q12 net profit was 4% higher QoQ only due to higher contributions from its associate, Malaysian Newsprint Industries.

Near-term outlook not too encouraging. 3Q12 viewership share was down 3 ppts YoY and 1 ppt QoQ to 45%. This explains why net TV adex growth YoY slowed from 8% in 2Q12 to 6% in 3Q12 (Chart 1). MPR is still cautious on its near-term outlook. We leave our earnings estimates unchanged which have considered slower net TV adex growth ahead. With its viewership share weakening, we do not believe that MPR’s net TV adex growth will reaccelerate going forward.

Maintain HOLD. We roll forward our valuation basis from 13.5x FY12 PER to a lower 12x FY13 PER due to still slow net TV adex growth. This derives an unchanged MYR2.47 TP. Now trading at 11.8x FY13 PER, we believe that valuations are fair given that its near-term outlook, especially viewership share and net TV adex growth would weaken. For now, net dividend yields of >4.5% should placate investors.

AmanahRaya REIT Flattish Sequential Growth

Maintain HOLD. ARREIT’s 9M12 results were within our expectations but slightly below consensus estimates. We remain cautious on the sustainability of its rental income as the Silver Bird non-payment issue remains unresolved, and the lease agreement for Wisma Amanahraya will expire in Jul 2013. New acquisitions will be crucial to sustain its earnings growth. Our DCF-based TP is raised to MYR0.95 as we roll over our valuation base to 2014. Results in line. 3Q12 net profit of MYR10.8m (+4% YoY) took 9M12 earnings to MYR30.7m (-5% YoY), accounting for 71% of our and 70% of consensus full-year estimates. The YoY decline in 9M earnings was due to: 1) the loss of rental income at Wisma UEP owing to the non-renewal of Sime UEP Properties Bhd’s tenancy upon its expiry in Jul 2011, 2) higher property expenses at Wisma UEP and Selayang Mall as well as provisions for landslip management at Wisma ARB. No change to dividend payments. 3Q12 net profit grew by 5.6% QoQ thanks to positive rental reversions at existing assets. ARREIT has proposed a 1.8sen DPU for 3Q (YTD: 5.4sen, +1.1% YoY); in line. ARREIT intends to maintain the same level of DPU as 2011. It may use its cash reserve (MYR34m or 5.9sen as at Sep 2012) to cover any shortfalls arising from a decline in rental income. Rising rental risk. The issue of non-payment of rent by Silver Bird Factory (11% of gross rental income) remains unresolved; the rental shortfall is currently covered by its 24-month security deposit. Also, CIMBIB’s lease of Wisma Amanah Raya (WAR) is expiring in Jul 2013 (extended from Jan 2013), when CIMBIB will move to its new office tower in KL Sentral. ARREIT is actively looking for new tenants for the building and may dispose WAR should it receive an attractive offer. Eyeing new assets. New acquisitions will be crucial to sustain dividend payments/earnings growth. ARREIT is eyeing an industrial property worth MYR40-60m with a long lease agreement and rental guarantee, we understand.

WCT 2012 Targets Almost Met

BUY maintained. We maintain our earnings forecasts, target price and stock call following yesterday’s analyst briefing on WCT’s 3Q12 results and corporate update. A potential revaluation surplus for Paradigm mall in 4Q12 could see FY12 earnings surpass our forecast. Meanwhile, the property development business has locked in sales of MYR630m and the construction business has secured MYR1.9b in new jobs YTD, providing stronger earnings visibility into FY13.

3Q12 results: Questions answered. (i) The weak construction EBIT margin of 6.7% (-9ppts YoY, -4.9ppts QoQ) was due to MYR13m in unrealised forex losses for its construction project in Qatar due to the weaker Ringgit; excluding the forex loss, 3Q12 construction EBIT margins were 11.5%. (ii) The strong property development EBIT of MYR42m (+132% YoY, +52% QoQ) is sustainable following record sales in both FY11 and FY12 YTD. (iii) The strong jump in property investment EBIT to MYR10m (+2x YoY, +7x QoQ) was due to maiden contributions from Paradigm, and rental reviews at its AEON BBT investment mall (which includes retrospective adjustments).

Property development: 2012 target almost reached. WCT has locked in sales of about MYR630m YTD (MYR444m as at Sep 2012), 50% of which is from BBT and 50% from 1-Medini, we estimate. This is just shy of its internal sales target for the year of MYR700m. With launches worth MYR1.4b lined up into mid-2013, actual 2012 sales are likely to surpass its internal target. Meanwhile, the internal sales target for 2013 has yet to be firmed up, but should exceed the 2012 target. Unbilled sales stood at MYR518m as at end-Sep 2012.

Construction: 2012 target almost hit. WCT’s outstanding order book stood at MYR3.8b (46% overseas, in Qatar and Oman) as at end-Sep 2012. Of this, new jobs secured this year make up MYR1.9b (our job win forecast: MYR2b). Its competitive tender book presently is about MYR3.5b comprising largely domestic building works. Tenders most likely to be awarded imminently are: (i) a ~MYR300m government building job in Putrajaya, and (ii) a MYR700m hospital job in Sabah. If secured this year, these would lift WCT’s 2012 job wins to MYR2.9b.

Siam Makro (MAKRO) Notes from the meeting

Raising price target to THB485, BUY: Slightly higher earnings stream due to faster store addition this year resulted in our DCF value rising to THB485 up from THB478. Should the share price of MAKRO drop post the analyst meeting we recommend investors accumulate the stock. Expansion in the domestic market continues at a good pace, SSSG remains solidly supported by strong merchandising management and tight lid on cost. Vietnam is a growth opportunity in the future. Expansion continues: Finally MAKRO opened five stores this year instead of four bringing total branch network. The 57 store in Bangpli is a “duplication” store and yet no own-store cannibalization proof that the cash/carry model still works. The management advises that they have permit and land for three stores next year, all in the provinces, and one location (in Phuket) for a larger version of the Siam Frozen model – 1000m². MAKRO does not provide target store opening but updates analysts on the number of stores to be opened. Having three locations in hand at this point in time is early for the company, and this raise the chance of more store opening in 2013. We assume three stores in our forecast. Capex guidance is for THB4bn, including the investment for Makro’s IT processing platform of THB300m. Hello Vietnam! MAKRO is definitely looking at the Vietnamese market. The incorporation of Vina Siam Food Co Ltd (VinaSiam) in Oct-12 is to facilitate the market study. Querried on why not enter Vietnam via the Makro trade center and the CFO replied that to get the permit for that, one has to have the land already and the price of land in Vietnam is very steep – equivalent to the price of the Silom Area in Bangkok. The management deems that too high a cost. However, the early conclusion is that Makro’s cash/carry format is perfect for the Vietnam retailing market and demographics, 90mn or so population, average age around 30 and willing to spend. We maintain the view that Vietnam can be another source of growth for MAKRO - and that we should not underestimate the execution capability of the management even though they appear more conservative the managements’ of other Thai listed retailing firms.
