1 Positive prospects HSS could secure more contracts like ECRL, Pan Borneo and HSR with its tender book of RM2-300m. We tweaked our FY17E earnings to reflect better timing in securing new contracts and progress billing on its existing order book of RM358m. We upgrade our TP for HSS to RM1.34, giving potential upside of 20% (based on 2018E PER of 17x). Share price has reacted positively to the Securities Commission and Bursa Malaysia s recent approval of HSS listing transfer to Main Board. HSS remains our top small-cap top BUY among construction stocks. High chances of securing more contracts HSS has good prospects to secure more new contracts like East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) and Pan Borneo Highway (PBH) Sabah with tender book worth RM2-300m. Conventionally, it is likely to secure detailed design contracts with higher value subsequent to the preliminary design contracts clinched. HSS won total preliminary design contracts worth RM22.6m for ECRL. It was the only local consultant appointed for this project out of 4 consultants. The other 3 were consultants from China. Typically, preliminary design accounts for 20-25% of total project value that HSS could potentially win. Tweaked our earnings We tweaked our FY17E earnings to reflect better timing in securing new contracts and progress billing on its existing order book of RM358m as at 31 Aug Thus, we reduce FY17E EPS by 17% to 4.7sen, while still maintaining our new contract assumptions of RM1-200m per annum in FY17-19E. So far, HSS has secured RM82.2m worth of new contract year-todate, comprising 55% of our new contract assumption of RM1m in FY17E. Some major contracts secured are HSR (RM17.6m), Tun Razak Exchange (RM19m), ECRL (RM22.6m) and Bukit Bintang City Centre (RM6.3m) projects. Management is still exploring potential M&A in water consulting business, which could boost earnings and generate recurring income from operation and maintenance services. Upgraded TP to RM1.34 We upgrade our TP for HSS to RM1.34, giving a potential upside of 20%. This is based on target 2018E PER of 17x and PER-to-growth of 0.6. This is justified given its; i) high chances of securing more contracts as a Bumiputerastatus company; ii) healthy order book replenishment; iii) high PAT margin business model of 10%; iv) high core ROE of 18-26% for FY17-19E; and v) 3-year EPS CAGR of 26% in FY17-19E. Maintain BUY. Key downside risks to our call Earnings lag due to the timing of contract wins; ii) execution risks involved in its expansion plans; iii) a slowdown in construction contract awards.

Target prices for small and mid-cap construction stocks under our over coverage based on average target 2018E PER of 17x. Peer average forward PER has been falling mainly due to EPS upgrades, given the rising infrastructure spending in the region especially Malaysia. Mergers and acquisitions of engineering consulting firms in Asia-Pacific region are also on the rise, driving up PERs by setting high benchmark valuations. For example, WSP has proposed to acquire Opus International Consultants Ltd at a historical PER of 35.5x in 2016 (based on 2016 s core net profit of NZD7.7m as Opus incurred net loss of NZD30m due to impairment of assets in 2016) and 16.3x in 2015 (based on 2015 s net profit of NZD16.8m). Hence, this will spur an upward re-rating of HSS. We are upgrading our TP to RM1.34 with a potential upside of 20%. Our TP is based on target 2018E PER of 17x and PER-to-growth of 0.6. This is justified given its: i) high chances of securing more contracts as a Bumiputera-status company with tenderbook of RM2-300m; ii) healthy orderbook replenishment; Page 2 of 5
