1 28 June 2016 Corporate Update YTL Corporation Berhad Implications from Brexit Maintain NEUTRAL Maintain Target Price (TP): RM1.50 INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHT Weak GBP means translation losses for YTL Power Attains decent capacity to gear up for M&As in the UK Expansion a mid-term story but near-term earnings headwinds is a challenge Maintain NEUTRAL at unchanged SOP-derived TP of RM1.50/share. Weak GBP will impact YTL Power s earnings. Wessex Water, acquired in 2002 from Enron, is a UK based company hence the weak GBP means translation losses at YTL Power level, and ultimately YTL Corporation (YTL). Wessex water accounts for 56% of YTL Power s revenue but some 82% of earnings (before the expiry of YTL Power s Malaysian PPAs, Wessex accounted for 67% of earnings). On our estimate, every 1% change in the GBP will impact YTL Power s bottomline by 2%. Some of the losses might be realised. While the impact of a weaker GBP could be temporary in the mid-term, most of earnings are paid up to YTL Power, hence the translation impact from the weaker GBP will most likely be realised. This is because YTL Power is now almost entirely reliant on Wessex Water s dividends to payout its own dividends to YTL Power s shareholders. Possible M&As? YTL s managing director Tan Sri Francis Yeoh has been quoted by the press recently as saying that YTL is on the lookout for infrastructure utilities assets in the UK over the next 2-3 years, following the fall in the UK market after the UK voted to leave the European Union last week. Decent capacity to gear up. Including the RM12b Tanjung Jati capex, YTL Power s (which houses utilities assets of the group) balance sheet would be pretty stretched at ~2.2x on our estimates, but YTL has reasonable capacity to gear up. YTL s net gearing stands at 1.7x post capex and currently attains a gross cash of RM13.5b. Assuming a ceiling net gearing level of 2.3x (at the higher end of the gearing range for power companies in Malaysia), we estimate that YTL could allocate ~RM13.3b to gear up for expansion.

2 INVESTMENT STATISTICS FYE Jun F 2017F Revenue 20, , , , ,049.9 EBIT 2, , , , ,366.9 Pretax Profit 2, , , , ,270.0 Minority Interest (564.2) (1,050.0) (689.8) (462.4) (561.8) Net profit 1, , , ,140.7 EPS (sen) PER (x) Dividend Dividend yield (%) Source: Company, MIDFR Mid-term positive, but near term headwinds. We take the news positively as it is possibly a good time to bargain hunt amid falling asset prices, whereas utilities are regulated assets, entails pretty steady demand and are mostly domestic-centric and therefore unlikely to face the risks of policy changes from Brexit. Nonetheless, YTL is indicating a 2-3 year timeline for M&As while in the near-term, earnings will face headwinds, especially at YTL Power driven by: (1) The weaker GBP which will impact Wessex Water s earnings, and (2) Overcapacity in the Singapore power sector which will impact Power Seraya earnings. We maintain our NEUTRAL at unchanged SOP-derived TP of RM1.50/share. FY16F 5% dividend yield is still attractive. DAILY PRICE CHART Source: Bloomberg Hafriz Hezry hafriz.hezry@midf.com.my
