3Q15 results roundup: Growth reverses

3Q15 core net profit -3.1% YoY, resulting in 9M15 growth

remaining in the negative zone at -3.5% YoY.

Looking at negative core earnings growth now in 2015, at -

0.2% for the KLCI, and a slower +7.7% growth in 2016.

Maintaining our KLCI targets of 1,730 end-2015, 1,830 end-

2016. Volatilities to persist; defensive strategy reiterated.

What’s New

3Q15 core net profit of our research universe was weaker YoY for

the 2nd consecutive quarter at -3.1%, resulting in 9M15 core profit

remaining in the negative zone at -3.5% YoY. Quarterly earnings

were weaker both YoY and QoQ in the plantation, telco, building

material, oil & gas, property development, gaming and media

sectors. Earnings were however stronger YoY and QoQ in the export

related sectors – semi-conductor, glove, petrochemical.

Of the 97 stocks under our coverage which reported, 36% fell

short, 26% were above. Stocks that prominently missed were FGV

(it fell into a loss), GENM, UEMS, GENP, IOI, Sime, Lafarge, Digi,

UMWH, GENT, TM, HLB, HLFG, Mah Sing, YTLP, AMMB. Stocks that

positively surprised were MAHB, Top Glove, Malakoff, Nestle, MISC,

Westports, PGas, Tenaga and AirAsia. Our new stock BUYs are

PCHEM, AFG, Padini; new SELLs are UMWH, FGV, Lafarge, Barakah.

What’s Our View

We now forecast KLCI core earnings to contract -0.2% YoY in 2015

(+1.9% previously), and to grow a slower +7.7% YoY in 2016 (+8.1%

previously) after lowering core earnings by 1.6% for 2015 and 1.9%

for 2016. As for our research universe, we now project negative

core earnings growth of -0.7% in 2015 (+1.8% previously), +9.6% in

2016 (+9.4% previously). Since the beginning of this year, we have

cut KLCI core earnings by a total 8.7% for 2015, 9.7% for 2016.

After multiple rounds of earnings disappointments and forecasts

cuts, the question now is whether there is still earnings downside

risk or has the earnings downgrade cycle bottomed. We think the

risk remains on the downside; pressure points remain at the banks,

consumer-related and plantation sectors. Cushioning the downside

would be the positive weak MYR impact on the export related

sectors as our FX Research team expects the MYR to be weaker at

an average 4.11 against the USD in 2016, versus 3.87 2015 YTD.

We maintain our KLCI targets of 1,730 for end-2015, 1,830 for end-

2016, which tag the KLCI to about its mean PER valuation. A re-

rating should come when corporate earnings show a firmer

uptrend, and when commodity prices recover on a sustained basis.

For the near term, we continue to advocate a defensive strategy.

Into 2016, we think the external headwinds will persist, inducing

volatilities in FX and equities too.

3Q15 results roundup

Weaker YoY, for the 2nd consecutive quarter

3Q15 core net profit of our research universe (73% of the Malaysian bourse

market capitalisation) was weaker YoY for the 2nd consecutive quarter at -

3.1% (2Q15: -9.0%). QoQ, 3Q15 core net profit rebounded just 2.9%. As a

result, 9M15 core net profit remained in the negative zone at -3.5% YoY

(6M15: -3.7% YoY). Quarterly earnings were weaker both YoY and QoQ in

the plantation, telco, building material, oil & gas, property development,

gaming and media sectors. Earnings were however stronger YoY and QoQ in

the export related sectors – semi-conductor, glove, petrochemical. Other

sectors with stronger YoY and QoQ core earnings were utility, transport

(aviation), construction, consumer and REIT. Of the 97 stocks under our

coverage which reported, 36% fell short of our forecasts, 26% were above.

Key sector comments

Banks: The 3Q15 results season saw disappointments from AMMB

(weak topline), BIMB (higher-than-expected tax rate), HLB (lower

contributions from Bank of Chengdu) and HLFG (weaker HLB

contributions). No banks earnings surprised on the upside.

Operationally, it was a fairly decent quarter, with cumulative income

up 9% YoY in 3Q15 and 7% YoY for 9M15. However, loan loss

allowances more than doubled and as a result, cumulative core net

profit was down 1% YoY in 3Q15 and flat YoY for 9M15.

Cumulative gross loan growth was a robust 15% YoY end-Sep 2015, but

the larger banks benefited significantly from forex translation gains

during the period. Domestic loan growth, meanwhile, was a more

sedate 9.2% YoY, which was generally in line with the industry’s loan

growth of 9.7% YoY end-Sep 2015. A positive trend during the quarter

was that several banks were successful in lifting their NIMs, resulting

in an average 4bp QoQ expansion in NIM. This was, however, at the

expense of a higher gross loan/deposit ratio of 93.2% end-Sep 2015 vs

91.7% end-Jun 2015. Credit charge rates, meanwhile, normalized

higher to 40bps in 3Q15 from 31bps in 2Q15.

Looking forward, NIM compression is expected to persist, particularly

amid heavy deposit competition in 4Q15. On a cumulative basis, we

are projecting recurring net profit in 2015 to come in flat (+0.5% YoY)

and to expand by 6% in 2016 (+3.7% YoY ex-CIMB).

Utility: Power results were mixed (Tenaga and Malakoff beat

expectations, YTLP disappointed) while gas results were in line (PGas’

core earnings were slightly ahead but due to lower taxes). Tenaga

achieved a record-low system loss in FY8/15, resulting in full year

earnings beating expectations. Malakoff’s beat was due to lower-than-

expected taxes as operating profits were in line. YTLP’s results were

below expectations due to weak showings at both Power Seraya and

the Wimax division.

Tenaga’s earnings are already at a high base, but could be further

enhanced if it can sustain the current low level of system loss (8.3% in

FY8/15, historical range 10-12%). YTLP has yet to finalise terms for

the PPA extension of its Paka plant. Gas Malaysia meanwhile, is due to

migrate to the IBR regime in Jan 2016. While IBR should theoretically

reduce Gas Malaysia’s earnings volatility, the impact to spreads upon

migration is still unclear for now.

Telco: Telco results were mixed, with Digi and TM below

expectations, Maxis in line, and TDC above expectations. In the

wireless space, Digi’s results were below expectations due to softness

in its prepaid segment. TM’s EBITDA was in line, but a spike in tax rate

resulted in the net profit disappointment. TDC benefitted from the

MYR weakness, as forex gains boosted its margins.

We expect mild sequential earnings growth for all the big-cap telcos

in 4Q15. The wireless players should gradually adapt to the various

challenges that have plagued the industry in recent quarters (GST

implementation problems, price-led competition, migrant segment

weakness). In the fixed line space, 4Q is seasonally a strong quarter

for TM as it closes/completes its managed contracts for the year.

Gaming: The sector faired poorly in the 3Q15 results. First, GENS was

hit by VIP volume share loss of 7ppts QoQ to 40% and provision for

doubtful debts hit a new record. Second, GENM was hit by low VIP

hold rate at GENUK. We estimate that the 3Q15 GENUK VIP hold rate

was down 65% YoY. As GENS and GENM contribute ~80% of GENT’s

earnings, the latter’s results disappointed as well. Positively, GENM’s

Resorts World Genting (RWG) 3Q15 EBITDA and EBITDA margin of 37%

was the highest since 4Q13 on higher gaming volumes YoY (both VIP

and mass market) and lower cost to serve VIPs. For the NFOs, BST

results was in line but Magnum results disappointed, albeit, only due

to higher-than-expected prize payout ratio.

We are still sanguine on the sector going forward. For GENS, we

expect provision for doubtful debts to normalize after another two to

three quarters. For GENM, we expect the GENUK VIP hold rate to

normalize and the opening of new amenities from the Genting

Integrated Tourism Plan from mid-2016 (3Q16: Sky Avenue Mall, 4Q16:

Sky Plaza, 2Q17: 20th Century Fox World, 2Q17: 236-room Theme

Park Hotel) to drive visitor arrivals and gaming revenue growth.

Again, as GENS and GENM contribute ~80% of GENT’s earnings, the

aforementioned will flow through to GENT. For Magnum, we expect

the prize payout ratio to normalize at 63-64% going forward.

Plantation: 3Q15 results were broadly below expectations. Out of the

10 stocks under our coverage, 50% fell short (IOI, GENP, SIME, FGV,

SOP), 20% was above (BPLANT, TAH; but largely due to strong timber

earnings for the latter) and 30% in line (KLK, TSH THP). The under-

performance of 3 of the 5 stocks was largely due to non-plantation

related reasons (as their plantation segment’s results were in line). In

the case of SIME, its industrial and motors divisions saw poorer-than-

expected contributions. As for IOI and SOP, they were affected by fair

valuation losses on financial derivative instruments (used as a hedging

instrument) due to the sudden slump in MYR against USD (-14% QoQ at

30 Sep 2015). In addition, IOI had massive unrealized forex translation

losses of MYR854m on its USD debt exposure.

On upstream, the seasonally stronger 3Q15 FFB output (+5.9% QoQ,

+5.8% YoY) for companies under our coverage was offset by lower CPO

ASP (-6.2% QoQ, -7.0% YoY). And 3Q15 FFB output did not reach its

full potential for some, as the bone-dry weather in Kalimantan and

the southern part of Sumatra Island affected FFB output. The one

positive takeaway from this results season is that rainfall is back and

this has resulted in bumper harvests in the affected areas in the

month of October and into early November.

On downstream, Malaysia’s 3Q15 refining margin was negative-to-

breakeven in the absence of CPO export taxes to aid refiners. The

weakened MYR vs. USD also resulted in fair valuation losses on

financial derivatives instruments used to hedge their USD receivables.

Below-to-above expectation results

The ratio of below-to-above expectation results narrowed to 1.4x in the

3Q15 results reporting season (2Q15: 2.5x), with 36% of our research

universe reporting earnings that fell short of our expectations (2Q15: 39%),

and 26% which surprised on the upside (2Q15: 16%). Earnings that met our

expectations made up 38% (2Q15: 46%). Since 3Q11, there has been more

results that disappointed compared to those that positively surprised.

Including 3Q15, this would make it the 17th consecutive quarter.

Sectors with results which missed our expectations were auto, building

material, gaming, oil & gas, plantation and property development.

Sector with results that overshot our expectations were media,

transport and utility.

Sectors with largely in-line results were consumer, glove,

petrochemical and semi-conductor.

Sectors with results that were mixed were banks (AMMB, HLB, HLFG

and BIMB were below; others were within), construction (IJM and CMS

were in line; WCT, HSL and Eversendai were below; SCG and Kimlun

were above), non-bank financials (Bursa was above; MPHB Cap was in

line), telco (Digi and TM were below; TDC was above; Maxis was in

line), and REIT (Axis, MRCB-Quill and CMMT were below; Pavilion was

above; SunREIT, IGB and Al-Salam were in line).

Market earnings & valuations

Earnings cut, yet again; slips into negative growth in 2015

Post 3Q15 results reporting season, we now estimate a slight negative core

earnings growth for the KLCI in 2015, at -0.2% (vs. +1.9% previously), while

for 2016, we now estimate a slower +7.7% growth (vs. 8.1% previously).

Compared to our forecasts prior to the 3Q15 results season, our KLCI core

earnings forecasts are now lower by 1.6% for 2015 and 1.9% for 2016. Since

the beginning of this year, we have essentially cut KLCI core earnings

forecasts by a total 8.7% for 2015 and 9.7% for 2016. This is quite in line

with Bloomberg consensus’ KLCI earnings cut since early this year – by a

total 9.8% for 2015 and 9.9% for 2016, deriving +1.6% earnings growth for

2015 and +8.7% for 2016. As for our research universe, we now project a

similar slight negative core earnings growth of -0.7% for 2015 (vs. +1.8%

previously), and +9.6% growth for 2016 (vs. +9.4% previously).

Source: Maybank KE Source: Maybank KE

More sectors with negative growth in 2015

There are now more sectors with projected negative core earnings growth

in 2015 – non-bank financial (due to MPHB Cap), building material, auto,

gaming (NFO and casino), oil & gas, plantation and property development.

In addition, banks and telco earnings are just about flat YoY. With the

exception of gaming (casino), the aforementioned sectors with projected

negative core earnings growth in 2015 are largely domestic oriented/

focused. In contrast, the export (glove, petrochemical, semi-conductor)

and external related sectors (aviation, shipping, ports) are projected to

grow in 2015, helped by the MYR weakness. Meanwhile, the domestic

focused sectors which are expected to record core earnings growth in 2015

are consumer, construction, media, REIT and utility.

Growth risk remains on the downside

After multiple rounds of earnings disappointments and forecasts cuts, the

question now is whether there is still earnings downside risk or has the

earnings downgrade cycle bottomed. We think the risk remains on the

downside; pressure points are especially at the:

banks, from greater-than-expected NIM pressure (we forecast a 12bps

compression in 2015, 7bps in 2016) and a potential spike in credit

costs (we assume a 5bps increase to 21bps in 2015, 27bps in 2016);

consumer-related sectors (staples and discretionaries - auto, gaming,

media), if consumer sentiment and spending take a turn for the worse

(MIER’s Consumer Sentiment Index is already at GFC lows since 1Q15,

continuing into 3Q15); our revised base case is a gradual recovery in

consumer sentiment and spending from mid-2016 onwards;

oil palm plantation sector, if CPO ASPs fall short of our MYR2,100/t

forecast for 2015 (unlikely since ASP 2015 YTD is already MYR2,169/t)

and MYR2,300/t forecast for 2016.

Cushioning the downside would be the positive weak MYR impact on the

export related sectors as our FX Research team expects the MYR to be

weaker at an average 4.11 against the USD in 2016, versus 3.87 2015 YTD

(see our FX Research’s “FX Outlook: 2016 – Juggling Policy Divergence,

RMB Adjustments and Trade Downshift” issued yesterday, 1 Dec 2015).

Market valuations at about mean

At the KLCI’s 1,672.2 close on 30 Nov 2015, and based on our revised core

earnings forecasts, the KLCI’s PER valuation is at about its long-term mean,

while P/BV has retraced to slightly below mean.

On forward PER, the KLCI now trades at 16.7x/15.5x 2015/2016 core

earnings and 15.6x on 12M forward core earnings. At 15.6x, this is at

about its mean valuation (since 2001) of 15.5x (1SD is 1.7x).

On trailing P/BV, the KLCI now trades at 1.77x, which is 0.4SD below

its long-term mean (since 2001) of 1.90x (1SD is 0.33x).

Market risk premium (market yield minus 10Y MGS yield of 4.2%) is

now at 2.22% (the highest for the year was at 2.43% in early-Sep).

Strategy Research

Maintaining KLCI targets; defensive strategy reiterated

We maintain our KLCI targets of 1,730 for end-2015, and 1,830 for end-

2016, which were revised after the National Budget 2016 announcement on

23 Oct 2015 (see our “Malaysia Strategy - Budget 2016: Strengthening

resilience” note issued on 26 Oct 2015). The targets tag the KLCI to about

its mean PER valuation. A re-rating should come when corporate earnings

show a firmer uptrend, as we have highlighted previously, and when

commodity prices recover on a sustained basis.

For the near term, we continue to advocate a defensive strategy. Into

2016, we think the external headwinds will revolve around US’ monetary

policy normalisation, China’s structural slowdown, and the impact to EMs.

Our Economics team expects lackluster global economic growth, flattish

commodity prices, continued policy divergence and a continued firm USD.

As a result, the MYR would remain under pressure, inducing volatilities in

equities too. That said, the KLCI should receive fair support from domestic

liquidity with Valuecap’s reactivation and repatriation of overseas

investments by GLIFs. Valuecap’s MYR20b fund is significant when

compared against MYR18.3b worth of foreign net sell in Malaysian equities

in 2015 YTD (2014: -MYR6.9b).
