Raising Target Price
Introducing Quintessential Indian SandalwoodCanaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited was a Joint Lead Manager to the Placement of~39m shares at A$1.55 per share to raise ~A$60.45m in April 2016.TFC reported its 1H17 with little surprises. FY17 is being marked as a transformationperiod as the company begins to monetise (at scale) its large asset base in various endmarkets at prices materially higher than historic expectations. TFC is transitioning froma pure plantation manager/owner to a product/sales company that should generatelucrative cash flows to shareholders. This transition will see the the company rebrandedQuintis (quintessential Indian Sandalwood) in Mar-17.Management provided a positive outlook statement with EBITDA guidance (>$78m)reaffirmed and OCF expected to be "strongly positive" in FY17. TFC's earnings and cashflows (figure 3) are heavily weighted to the 2H (~90%), we therefore view the 1H result aslargely immaterial from a financial perspective, however it does illustrate the progress ofthe business throughout the financial year.We remind investors of the unit economics that drive our investment thesis. On currentheartwood yield expectations (~8tn/ha, 300kg oil) and current prices (US$4,500/kg), each hectare generates a marginal revenue (A$1.8m/ha) that well exceeds itsmarginal cost (A$150k/ha) and investors' cost of capital (IRR >25%). Notably, an oilprice of just US$1,000/kg is required to generate a pre-tax 10% return on capital (US$500/kg breakeven).Following various modelling adjustments and roll-forward of our DCF valuation, our targetprice moves slightly to A$3.38. BUY recommendation retained.
The key takeaways from the result include:• Management reiterated FY17 guidance with "Cash EBITDA to increase by at least
+25% on FY16 levels”, implying FY17 Cash EBITDA >$78m (CGAu est. A$81.9m).This is despite expecting A$10m lower oil sales during the period (largely non-coreAustralian Sandalwood). TFC expects to establish c1,400 hectares in CY17, a slightreduction on previous years (CY16: 1,618ha, CY15: 1,539ha). The variance in TFC’sguidance is the proportion of its FY17 plantation that the company holds on its balancesheet (~200ha, A$7.3m cash EBITDA variance) versus what it sells to third parties,coupled with a normalisation of Australian Sandalwood oil sales in 2H17.
• Plantation sales in 1H17A was the strongest on record, increasing +32% on the pcp toA$20m (~250ha, 50% institutional/50% sophisticated) and provides a solid platformas it enters the seasonally high 2H sales period. Positively, TFC was successful inincreasing prices on establishment fees per hectare by +8% to ~$80k/ha and followsthe +29% avg. price rise in FY16. TFC is expecting to introduce new institutional andsophisticated investors with the “pipeline the strongest its ever been”. Given TFC'sfixed cost base, the higher prices directly translate to EBITDA margin expansion. As thecompany continues to prove-up the commodity price with long term supply agreementsand provides more transparency on the size/scale of the market, we expect the salesprocess for such financial products to appeal to a larger investment community

The 1H17 cash balance of A$89m was broadly as expected, with the group’s net debt standing at A$249m. TFC provided guidance that it expects the business to generate strong OCF in FY17, illustrating a large reversal in its working capital position during 2H17. This is not unusual as the business has historically demonstrated large movements in working capital and we forecast TFC to finish FY17 with >A$140m cash on the balance sheet. When coupled with the likely warrant exercise (A$72.2m) the company has significant balance sheet flexibility (>A$350m over FY17-FY19) to invest accretively for long term shareholder value (investment in plantations yields >25%).
TFC secured a A$35m working capital facility (overdraft facility) with one of the world’s largest banks to aid its working capital swings throughout the financial year. The two year revolving facility is not expected to be drawn in FY17 however enables the group to utilise its unsecured bond facility (US$250m) for growth initiatives and not to fund its working capital position. The terms of the facility were not disclosed, however is lower than its existing cost of debt (<8.75%). Notably, TFC’s bond currently trades at a +6% premium to par (105.8) illustrating a yield to maturity of +7.6%.

TFC’s leverage ratio (assets [excl. MIS assets]/equity) currently stands at 1.9x (1H16: 1.8x), however reduces to 1.6x if we mark TFC’s asset at
US$4,500/kg oil (vs US$2,800/kg as reflected on the balance sheet). Importantly, global timber companies traditionally trade on leverage ratio >2.5x. We expect the impending warrant exercise and strong reversal of its working capital position in 2H17 to reduce TFC’s leverage ratio in future periods. Notably, TFC reported a +7.5% increase in its Biological assets (excl. FX, acq/harvest) in 1H17, which highlights the value uplift of its estate.
FY17 total product sales (including Australian Sandalwood) are expected to be in the range of A$45m to A$55m, a slight reduction on the previous guidance of at least ~A$60m. The $10m moderation was explained by:
o Lower Australian Sandalwood product sales in 1H17A (1H17A :$6.3m, 1H16A: A$11.1m) following “market disruption associated with the delayed finalisation of a new 10 year supply contract with the West Australian state government”. We understand customers were unsure
of TFC’s positon in the market and were unwilling to commit to purchase orders until the new contracts were finalised. TFC expects Australian

Sandalwood sales to remain somewhat subdued in 2H17 (~$6m) however should normalise in 1H18 (>A$10m). We suspect this resulted in a A$7m-$10m impact to TFC’s product revenue guidance.
o Slight deferral of Indian Sandalwood product sales to its Middle Eastern counterparty due to some complexities with its first timber export to the region. The logistical issue is now resolved with the group delivering heartwood to the customer in February. We suspect this resulted in a A$2m-$5m impact to TFC’s product revenue guidance.
During CY16, TFC harvested 104ha yielding 309tn of heartwood (CY15: 31tn). This translated strong growth in Indian Sandalwood product sales to A$9.2m vs. $0.1m in the pcp. TFC’s is expecting Indian Sandalwood product sales to increase to A$30m in 2H17 (at >85% gross profit margins). The company also
announced it is expecting to harvest 240tn from 107ha in CY17 (2.2tn/ha). This is in-line with previous forecasts (9tn oil = US$40m) with TFC owning ~70% the 2017 harvest and the balance owned by MIS investors.

As illustrated below, TFC’s earnings and cash flow profile are heavily skewed to the 2H. This stems from the investments in plantations that is largely absorbed in 1H, and plantation sales that are generated in the 2H. In 1H17A, the group reported a negative FCF of -$44m (1H16 -$40m) which was in-line with previous years. On the conference call management highlighted OCF is expected to be “strongly positive for FY17” illustrating a large reversal in the 2H17 (CGAu est.
>$75m). Notably, the prior periods reported negligible Indian Sandalwood sales which should aid the 2H17 uplift (A$30m at >85% gross profit margins).

TFC’s biological assets (3,518ha direct/indirect ownership) are marked on the balance sheet using an AUDUSD cross rate of 0.72x. As the currency remains above this rate, we expect TFC to mark down its asset at the FY17 result impacting the book value of the business.
In line with its strategy of owning a larger proportion of the underling Indian Sandalwood resource, TFC acquired 35ha of plantations from third parties for
A$9.3m ($266k/ha). Following a suboptimal take-up of its 2001 (66%) and 2002 (32%) buyback scheme, the group is expecting to complete the buyback programme for the 2018 to 2022 harvests over 2H17 (A$27m).
TFC’s pharmaceutical subsidiary, Santalis, is in the process of developing/ commercialising 11x products in its Rx (prescription) portfolio and 10x products in its OTC (over-the-counter) portfolio.
o During the period, Santalis requested an end of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA for HPV warts. The group will present its Phase 3 plans to the FDA with a response expected in 4QFY17. The group currently has ongoing Phase 2 trials for four Rx products with studies expected to be completed/announced from mid-2017 (figure 4).
o As Santalis continues to progress positively, the board announced its plan to monitsise this asset in FY18, via a trade sale or primary issuance (NASDAQ/ASX) while retaining majority control.
o While early stage and thus difficult to value, management of Santalis
stated, “based on comparable valuations for companies at this
stage of development, Santalis attributes would suggest a valuation in the US$300m-US$500m [A$400m-A$666m] range”. Our current
modelling incorporates a negative value to this asset as our royalty payments over the medium term (US$3m pa, primarily Benzac AC) do not exceed the ongoing annual expense (CGAu est. US$4m pa). For further analysis on this opportunity, please refer to the research report “Santalis a US$300m-US$500m sleeper” dated Jan-17.

Investment RecommendationDate and time of first dissemination: February 27, 2017, 15:12 ETDate and time of production: February 27, 2017, 15:12 ETTarget Price / Valuation Methodology:TFS Corporation Limited - TFCWe currently value TFC using a 27-year DCF methodology (no terminal value) with a WACC of 10.8%.Risks to achieving Target Price / Valuation:TFS Corporation Limited - TFCThe key investment risks for TFS include: Biological risk -- Biological assets are prone to weather, pests, disease and fire risk. Thecompany has operated for fourteen years without fire damage to its plantations. The plantations are located inland to prevent impactfrom cyclones and situated in tropical areas of northern Australia that are not prone to flooding. Long-term duration investment --Sandalwood trees take over fifteen years to mature, and should be considered by long-term investors. Key man risk -- Over the pastdecade, the company has invested heavily in R&D programs and personnel. In our view, a loss of a number of key people should beperceived by shareholders as a negative. Commodity price risk -- TFS plans to sell a significant amount of Indian Sandalwood heartwoodoil into the export market. The quantum of end market demand remains largely unknown leading to price assumptions that could beincorrect. Currency risk -- The company converted US$150m debt at a currency level of 1.0941. A continued devaluation of the AUDwould see this liability increase. The company plans to sell its heartwood in USD, providing a natural hedge to the liability.

A short-term trade idea offers a near-term view on how a security may trade, based on market and trading events or catalysts, and the resulting trading opportunity that maybe available. Any such trading strategies are distinct from and do not affect the analysts' fundamental equity rating for such stocks. Ashort-term trade idea may differ from the price targets and recommendations in our published research reports that reflect the researchanalyst's views of the longer-term (i.e. one-year or greater) prospects of the subject company, as a result of the differing time horizons,methodologies and/or other factors. It is possible, for example, that a subject company's common equity that is considered a long-term ‘Hold' or 'Sell' might present a short-term buying opportunity as a result of temporary selling pressure in the market or for otherreasons described in the research report; conversely, a subject company's stock rated a long-term 'Buy' or “Speculative Buy’ could beconsidered susceptible to a downward price correction, or other factors may exist that lead the research analyst to suggest a sale overthe short-term. Short-term trade ideas are not ratings, nor are they part of any ratings system, and the firm does not intend, and does notundertake any obligation, to maintain or update short-term trade ideas. Short-term trade ideas are not suitable for all investors and arenot tailored to individual investor circumstances and objectives, and investors should make their own independent decisions regardingany securities or strategies discussed herein.
