1 27 September 2016 Corporate Update UEM Edgenta Berhad Expanding IFM presence to Singapore and Taiwan INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS Proposed acquisition of AIFS Expanding IFM business to Singapore and Taiwan A saving grace for IFM business FY17F earnings lifted by +2.1% Maintain NEUTRAL with revised TP of RM3.41 Proposed acquisition of AIFS. UEM Edgenta has entered into a sales and purchase agreement (SPA) via its wholly-owned subsidiary Edgenta Singapore for the proposed acquisition of Asia Integrated Facility Solutions Pte Ltd (AIFS) which indirectly owns 100% of UEMS Pte Ltd (UEMS) for a purchase consideration of SGD185.9m (~RM563m). The deal values UEMS at FY15 PER of 14.6x. The proposed acquisition is expected to be completed in 4Q of Expanding IFM business to Singapore and Taiwan. AIFS via UEMS is one of the leading healthcare support services (HSS) provider in both Singapore and Taiwan. It has a strong set of clientele in both countries especially the private sector healthcare operators. Post UEMS acquisition, UEM Edgenta will have immediate presence in these countries via AIFS and strengthen its position in Malaysia as AIFS is also operating in Malaysia. The acquisition which values AIFS at approximately RM563m will be fully funded by debt which would increase UEM Edgenta s gearing ratio from 0.24x to about 0.64x. A saving grace for IFM business. We are positive on the news of the acquisition as we view that the IFM business segment, which is one of UEM Edgenta s expertise is currently facing headwinds. Aside from losing about RM300m in revenue from its IFM concession business in Sabah and Sarawak, the IFM business is also struggling to secure new contracts with good margins from the local hospitals due to intense competition and slow economic activities. However, this acquisition might be the saving grace for the IFM business. Looking at the past three years pro-forma accounts of UEMS appended in the announcement, the acquisition could potentially contribute about RM260m in revenue. Additionally, UEMS has also recently acquired in July 2016, UESC which is another HSS subsidiary in Taiwan with a potential annual contribution of RM35m. Hence, we think this acquisition will not only help to offset the loss of its Sabah and Sarawak concession but also gain more business due to a better set of private healthcare sector clientele exposure brought over by UEMS. Moreover, the positive outlook and growing demand for healthcare services will definitely bode well for the IFM business.

2 2 Earnings forecasts. We made no changes to our FY16F earnings forecasts as the acquisition is expected to only be completed in the 4Q of However, we have incorporated the potential contribution from the acquisition from FY17F onwards which saw our FY17F earnings lifted by 2.1% to RM222.6m from RM218.1m previously. This is in line with the projected EPS growth by the company post-acquisition of AIFS. Recommendation. We are maintaining our NEUTRAL call with a revised TP SOP-based of RM3.41 (from RM3.23 previously) on UEM Edgenta, post-acquisition announcement and earnings revision. Despite being positive on the news, we remain wary on the increasingly challenging operating environment faced by Opus Group, its main revenue contributor. That said, we take comfort in the fact that it continues to possess robust balance sheet with a strong net cash position which we opine will enable it to be more flexible in terms of engaging in potential new opportunities such as acquisitions that could assist in contributing to its revenue. We believe the potential re-rating catalyst for UEM Edgenta would be in the form of: (i) significantly better quarterly earnings performance, (ii) recovery in margins, and (iii) winning meaningful-sized contracts that could contribute significantly to revenue and earnings.
