1 M&A Securities Company Note PP14767/09/2012(030761) Nestle Malaysia Berhad Steering Away From Turbulence 1Q16 results review. To recap, Nestle Malaysia Berhad (Nestle) registered its 1Q16 revenue at RM1.3 billion, marking an annual improvement of 3% with net profit touching an encouraging RM221 million (+17% y-o-y), consisting 37% of our full year earnings expectation, fuelled by strong marketing, promotional supports and better-than-expected new product launches in 2015 that continued to benefit the group in HOLD (TP: RM79.52) Current Price (RM) New Fair Value (RM) Previous Fair Value (RM) Previous Recommend. RM76.70 RM79.52 RM61.50 SELL Upside To Fair Value 4% Dividend Yield (FY16F) 3% Stock Code Bloomberg Tuesday, June 21, 2016 Stock & Market Data NESZ MK Dividend. No dividend was declared in Q1 FY16. The group usually pays out dividend in the second and fourth financial quarter. Total dividend payout of RM2.60/share in FY15 made up 103% of the full year EPS, translating into yield of 3.6%. Food & Beverage (F&B) segment led the growth. F&B segment continued to dominate 80% of the total group sales in 1Q16 which saw a modest growth (+2.8% y-o-y) despite strong pre-gst expenditure in 1Q15, thanks to a bigger market share gained through various brand building exercises that helped stimulate turnover. Coming down to operating profit, the segment reported a rosy 14% y-o-y growth from RM201 million in 1Q15 to RM230 million in 1Q16. The exceptionally well results were attributed by favourable commodity prices (as the price of raw materials accounts for approximately 50% of the input cost) and diligent cost management. The other segment (Ex-F&B), also registered similar growth of 2.6% y-o-y and 10.9% y-o-y in the top-line and operating profit, respectively in 1Q16.

Nestle has been riding on favorable commodity trends in the past few quarters, however, the management anticipates the prices of certain commodities to rebound in the second half of 2016 such as coffee and milk powder which recently traded at and 1
2 USD1,600/MT, nearing its 2-year low level. Apparently this could trigger the last resort of the group by passing on the cost increase to consumers. Outlook. Nestle s latest RM288 million Sri Muda factory launched in October 2015 has boosted Nestle s Ready-to-Drink (RTD) division capacity by 60% to 120,000 MT/year, capturing the fastgrowing opportunities of RTD products such as MILO NUTRI G drink, NESCAFE coffee and NESTLE OMEGA PLUS UHT Milk in both domestic and export markets. Besides, Nestle had also spent about RM90 million capex for new Maggi high output noodle line, extending the capacity by 30% or a ramp-up of 20,000 MT/year. By scaling up manufacturing strength and continued in promotional activities, we expect Nestle s market share to increase from 15.8% to 17-20% in the next 3 years. Capex to continue to stay RM130 million RM200 million level in FY Stronger earnings visibility bolstered by the upgrade of manufacturing facilities would pare down borrowings and subsequently bring the group back to net cash position from the current mild gearing of 0.2x. Apart from manufacturing capability and operational efficiency, the movement of Ringgit also plays a vital role in commoditized business as the input costs are highly dependent on the commodity prices. The good news is the slower global economy has resulted in weak prices and oversupply in commodity market since end Coupled with the strengthening Ringgit performance, Nestle is set to benefit from the continued prevailing low level of commodity prices in the near term. Change to forecast. We revise our FY16-18 net profit to RM622 million/ RM665 million /RM700 million respectively, factoring in the earnings catalysts from the new Sri Muda factory and the extended noodle production line in Batu Tiga factory. This translates into FY16 EPS of 265 sen versus our previous forecast of 246 sen. Valuation and recommendation. After reviewing our earnings forecast, we rate Nestle as a HOLD from SELL with a revised target price of RM This is based on its 3-year mean of 28x, which is in line with Nestle s peers like F&N and Dutch Lady, pegged to our FY17 EPS forecast of 284 sen. We like Nestle for its growing bigger economies of scale, more than 100% dividend payout of its annual earnings and the recession proof business model which deserves closer attention in the investment community during this highly volatile period.
