2 Quick Bites MISC: Delivery of new liquefied natural gas carrier MISC has today received the delivery of Seri Cempaka, which is the third of the five newbuild liquefied natural gas carriers (LNGCs), from Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd (HHI). Seri Cempaka will be chartered to Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) for the next 15 years upon delivery. This is in accordance with the agreement for the novation of shipbuilding contracts by PETRONAS and HHI to MISC, for the construction and delivery of five new LNGCs. Comment: We expect a flattish performance from the LNG segment as LNG shipping rates remain low due to additional supply coming on stream and weaker prospects of renewals. The addition of the new ship has been reflected in our earnings forecast. We maintain our SELL call with RM6.50 target price. Maybank: Maybank Indonesia s 1H17 PATAMI increased 16.3% PT Bank Maybank Indonesia Tbk ( Maybank Indonesia or the Bank ) today announced that its profit after tax and minority interests (PATAMI) increased 16.3% to Rp998.5 billion for the first semester ended 30 June 2017 from Rp858.4 billion in the previous corresponding period ended 30 June 2016 on the back of overall improvement in its core banking business. NII rose 7.0% to Rp3.8 trillion in the first semester 2017 from Rp3.6 trillion in first semester of The increase in NII was mainly a result of the Bank s discipline in loan pricing and active funding management. The Bank also reported an increase in its Net Interest Margin (NIM) to 5.3% in June 2017 compared with 5.0% in June (Source: Maybank press release) Comment: The overall 1H17 results of Maybank Indonesia was in line with our expectations. While the operating results have been more encouraging, we however note that the management remains cautious over loan quality as the Indonesian economy remains slow moving. Gross NPL and net NPL level were maintained at 3.6% and 2.4% respectively as of June We reiterate our BUY call with TP of RM10.50 based on a 2018E P/BV target multiple of 1.5x (cost of equity of 8.2%, 2018E ROE of 9.8%).

3 Outside Malaysia Stocks slide as volatility rises, dollar gains US stocks fell, with major benchmarks turning lower in afternoon trading as a bout of volatility shattered calm on equity markets that had surged to fresh highs. The S&P 500 decreased by 0.1% to 2, The Dow Jones Industrial Average added points (0.4%) to 21, Narrower US goods-trade gap indicates boost to pace of growth A narrower-than-projected US merchandise-trade deficit in June, together with rising inventories at wholesalers and retailers, signal positive news for economic growth, according to preliminary figures from the Commerce Department. Goods-trade gap shrank to UD$63.9bn (est. $65.5b). Exports of goods increased 1.4% mom in June while imports fell by 0.4%. Consumer comfort gain reflects steady US labor-market progress More favorable attitudes about personal finances and the economy helped bolster Americans confidence last week, according to Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index figures. Weekly consumer comfort measure rose to 48.6 from prior week s The results reflect a labor market that continues to make progress and healthier household finances boosted by stock-market gains and home-equity appreciation. Japanese CPI stalls at 0.4% even as job market tightens Japan s key price gauge was unchanged in June, helped by rising power costs. The tight labor market may also start to help inflation, which remains far from the central bank s 2% target. Core consumer prices, which exclude fresh food, increased 0.4% in June from a year earlier in line with estimate. Excluding fresh food and energy, prices were unchanged. South Korean economy slows from fastest expansion since 2015 South Korea s economic growth slowed in the second quarter as expansion in construction investment eased and export volumes fell from the previous three months. Gross domestic product expanded 0.6% in the second quarter. From a year earlier, the economy grew 2.7%, matching the estimate by economists. China industrial profits surge again in boost to debt cleanup Chinese industrial firms kept up their heady pace of profit growth in June, underscoring the economy s momentum and helping the nation s indebted companies grapple with their giant debt load. Industrial profits increased 19.1% in June from a year earlier, accelerating from the 16.7% pace a month earlier, the nation s statistics bureau said. Japan recommends hiking minimum wage by 3% The Japanese government recommended this year s minimum wage be increased by 25 yen to 848 yen per hour (US$7.64), the same amount that it was raised last year. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe s government and the central bank want wages in Japan to rise in hopes that that will fuel consumer spending and spur inflation. Oil surges above US$49 as supply draw Oil closed above US$49 a barrel for the first time since May on growing optimism OPEC s supply cuts are trimming a supply glut. Brent for September settlement climbed US$0.52 to end the session at US$51.49 a barrel. Source: Bloomberg (Izzuddin Yussof; ; izzuddin.yussof@affinhwang.com) Page 3 of 7
