1 7 June 2016 Speed bump Top Glove, a country top pick, is set to announce 3Q FY16 results next week. We project core net profit to be weaker qoq at RM8090m, on overall lower ASPs, higher raw material prices and a stronger Ringgit for the quarter. Our nearterm outlook remains intact, driven by a 17% rise in capacity by FY17E. Incremental nitrile volume growth and productivity gains should partially alleviate margin pressure. 3Q FY16E core net profit likely weaker qoq but higher yoy Topline should stay flattish or slightly lower qoq, as we expect the ASP to trend lower on supply overhang. However, this should be offset by higher sales volume on a higher number of earning days. We expect EBITDA margins to drop below 20% in the quarter, mainly due to higher latex prices (+29% qoq) and stronger Ringgit (+6% qoq), but partially offset by incremental nitrile volume growth. All in, core net profit should come in between RM80m (24% qoq) and RM90m (14% qoq), bringing 9MFY16 to ~75% of FY16 estimates. This report marks a transfer of analyst coverage. Rawmaterials rally not sustainable, in our view We expect latex prices to trend lower in coming quarters as the wintering period comes to an end. Latex inventory buildup, already near a record high, could accelerate when the tripartite agreement in curbing production to shore up latex prices expires in August China s slowing economy will likely weigh on latex prices in the absence of followthrough demand. Latex prices have declined 12% from the peak at endapril. Growing nitrile contribution likely to sustain margins We expect the nearterm outlook to be underpinned by the commissioning of 3 new plants, which should bring its total installed capacity to 52.4bn pieces p.a. (+17% yoy) by FY17E. The nitrilefocused capacity growth is in line with its strategic expansion to increase nitrile contribution to 50% to cater for growing market demand. Incremental growth in nitrile volume should sustain EBITDA margins, partially alleviating margin pressure. Top Glove is our top sector pick; reaffirm BUY rating We continue to like Top Glove for its productmix management and attractive valuation. Its shares currently trade at a CY16E PER of 15x, still behind sector leader Hartalega (HART MK, RM4.09, HOLD) (24x) despite a higher production capacity and earnings base. Top Glove also offers the highest trading liquidity within our sector coverage. We reaffirm our BUY rating and 12month target price of RM7.17, based on a CY16E PER of 21x (+1SD above past3year mean PER). Risk: currency volatility.

However, this should be offset by higher sales volume, which should register a slight uptick on higher earnings days qoq and incremental nitrile glove demand growth. No capacity was added for the quarter, as the commissioning of Factory 27 in Lukut (2.0 bn) has been delayed to 4QFY16. Fig 1: Quarterly revenue since FY14 (RMm) Revenue (LHS) qoq chg (RHS) % Fig 2: Quarterly core net profit and EBITDA margin since FY14 (RMm) Core net profit (LHS) EBITDA margin % (RHS) % 10% 5% 0% 5% 10% 15% Source: Company Source: Company, Affin Hwang ASP decline for the quarter We expect ASPs to decline by midsingle digits for the quarter, in line with most glove makers. The temporary supply overhang still plagues the market on new capacity, as demand is playing catch up. The bulk of the ASP decline centred mostly on nitrile gloves, while latex glove prices held up relatively well due to minimal capacity expansion in the recent year. Core net profit likely to trend lower; slight margin contraction We project 3QFY16 core net profit to trend lower qoq to the tune of RM8090m, but still be higher yoy. Marginwise, we expect the slight qoq contraction on account of: (i) ASP decline; (ii) zero capacity growth; (iii) weakening dollar; and (iv) overall increase in raw material prices. Latex prices spiked up from the RM3.50/kg level to RM5.12/kg level on the wintering season and output supply cut, while nitrile prices rose in line with higher crudeoil prices. However, this should be partially offset by a favourable product mix, which should alleviate some ASP pressure and margin compression. Cumulatively, we expect 9MFY16 core net profit to make up around 75% of our fullyear estimates. Page 2 of 8

We expect F27 to be commissioned in 4QFY16, and progressive volume growth to kick in from FY17 onwards.

Two more factories are expected to be commissioned in August 2016 and February 2017, respectively. Factory 6 (F6) located in Phuket is set up to produce latex gloves (1.4bn pieces p.a.), while Factory 30 (F30) in Klang would be producing nitrile gloves (4.4bn). All in, this would bring Top Glove s total installed annual capacity to 52.4bn pieces p.a. by FY17, representing capacity growth of 12% yoy. Top Glove has yet to guide on its growth plans beyond FY18. However, we have assumed a 4%, or 2.0bn pieces in average capacity growth in FY19 onwards. We deem our assumption as conservative, as it is still below Top Glove s average annual capacity growth of 6% and global gloves demand growth of 68%. There could be earnings upside should the company embark on any capacity addition above our assumed growth rate.

However, the increase was largely seasonallydriven due to the wintering season (February May), where production yields typically fall by as much as 50% from their peak. The wintering season coincided with the concerted effort by the tripartite of major rubber producing countries in Thailand, Indonesia & Malaysia to shore up prices by curbing production. The tripartite has agreed to withdraw 615,000 tonnes of natural rubber from the market for 6 months, effective from March 2016 till August Concerns over limited output as well as expectations of a pickup in demand from China have bolstered prices, which led latex prices to a high of RM5.12/kg in endapril Fig 6: Monthly average latex rawmaterial prices (RM/kg) Fig 7: Monthly average nitrile rawmaterial prices (U$/metric tonne) 1, , , , , , , Source: Bloomberg Source: Bloomberg Rally not sustainable We still hold to our view that high latex prices do not appear to be sustainable in the absence of followthrough demand, as highlighted in our previous sector note (see: Stretched year ahead, 14 April 2016). Lingering worries over slowing economic activity in China will likely weigh on latex prices, capping gains. Moreover, with the expiry of the tripartite curb in August 2016, we are likely to continue to see a climb in latex inventory return. Latex and nitrile inventories are still close to multiyear highs (see Fig 8 and 9). The wintering season is also slated to end soon. Possibly taking a cue from oversupply worries, latex prices have lost momentum with the last close at RM4.49/kg, a decline of 12% from the peak.

Top Glove s nitrile volume clocked in an incremental growth of more than 600% over a 6year period, as nitrile contribution increased from 11% to 32% in 1HFY16. This however, still pales in comparison with Hartalega (95% nitrile) and Kossan (70% nitrile). Management has guided that it will continue to add nitrile capacity and targets a balanced mix of 50% for nitrile gloves, in line with market demand.

While management has guided for a longterm EBITDA margin of 18%, we take a slightly more bullish stance in the near term as incremental nitrile volume growth and productivity gains should sustain margins. We expect Top Glove s EBITDA margin to normalise in the region of 2022% for FY1618E, after hitting a high mark in 1H FY16 of 24% (+8ppt yoy), bucking the trend of its peers. Better profitability profile Top Glove s profitability profile has improved significantly and narrowed the gap with sector leaders Hartalega and Kossan. Based on the table below, we observed that Top Glove margins have generally increased in line with a higher nitrile contribution in its mix. Despite the ASP pressure, Top Glove should be able to sustain its margins on a favourable product mix and incremental nitrile volume growth.

6 7 June 2016 Top Glove remains our top sector pick We continue to favour Top Glove as our sector top pick, mainly premised on its: (i) undemanding valuation at a CY16E PER of 15x, compared to the sector leaders Hartalega (24x) and Kossan (21x); (ii) incremental nitrile volume growth to alleviate margin pressure; and (iii) ongoing productivity gains. Top Glove also offers the highest CY16E dividend yield (3.4%) among Rubber Products stocks under our coverage backed by highest ROE (23%). We reaffirm our BUY call on Top Glove and 12month target price of RM7.17, based on a CY16E PER of 21x, which is pegged to +1SD above its past3year mean PER. A key risk to our call would be currency volatility as most of Top Glove s sales receipts are denominated in US$.
