We think the price performance is crucial and can be used as an indicator of investors mood for investing in property stocks.

Presently, the group has outstanding GDV of RM3.3bn, which could last the group until 2021.

Utilisation of proceeds The IPO exercise is expected to raise RM122.6mn and the proceeds will be used for working capital, repayment of borrowings and advances, purchase of landbank in Klang Valley and listing expenses see Table 2. Table 2: Utilisation of proceeds Estimated timeframe for Description utilisation upon Proposed Listing Amount (RM'mn) % of Total Gross Proceeds Working Capital Within 12 Months 49.5 40.4 Repayment of bank borrowings Within 6 Months 15.0 12.2 Repayment of advances from the previous shareholders of Epoch Within 6 Months 24.3 19.8 Property Purchase of landbank Within 18 Months 30.0 24.5 Estimated listing expenses Within 3 Months 3.8 3.1 Total proceeds 122.6 100.0 Major Shareholders and Management Team Post IPO, the promoters and substantial shareholders are expected to hold about 61.7% of Titijaya, leaving the remaining 38.3% as free floats. Note that there is a six-month moratorium on the promoters. Currently, the group is led by Tan Sri Dato Lim Soon Peng, the founder and the managing director of the group, who is supported by his children, Lim PohYit (Chief Operating Officer) and Lim Puay Fung (Executive Director). Investment case 1) Prime landbank at strategic locations within the Klang Valley Titijaya has a total undeveloped landbank of approximately 244 acres with an estimated GDV RM3.3bn to be completed over the next 8 years. These key development projects are strategically located in prime area around Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, including Kemensah, Subang, Shah Alam and Klang see Figure 2. We believe the demand for properties at these areas to be strong given the huge catchment market from the relatively matured neighbouring townships.

2) Clear earnings visibility The group has clear earnings visibility with unbilled sales of RM500mn as at June-13, which is expected to be recognized over the next 2 3 years. Future earnings growth is expected to be derived from the RM2.4bn planned launches over the next 2 years see Figure 3. Of these projects, we expect demand for serviced apartments and SoHounits within the H20@ AraDamansara development to be encouraging given its close proximity to upcoming LRT stations at LembahSubang and AraDamansara, and affordable pricing of RM400k/unit for SoHo units and RM500k-600k/unit for 2-bedroom serviced apartments. To date, H20 has already received about 8,000 registrations of interests. Figure 3: Projects lined-up for 2013 and 2014 Source: Company, TA Securities 3) High property margin attributable to low land costs The founder, Tan Sri Lim has more than 40 years in the property development industry. His vast experiences and networks helped the group to accumulate prime land banks at reasonably low prices. According to management, the group s total land cost to GDV ratio stood at 6%, which explains the robust margin trend in recent years. From FY09 tofy13, the group has recorded gross margin of 16-48%, which is relatively strong against its peers. Risks High concentrated risks drawing from its exposure to the development of the Klang Valley given alltitijaya sproperty projects are in the Klang Valley. The group s future earnings driver also highly expose to one single project, i.e Trio, a mixed commercial development sitting on a 16.1 acres of freehold land in Shah Alam, given its RM1.5bn GDV that accounted for almost of half the group s outstanding GDV of RM3.3bn. Delay in rolling out new launches within the Trio development will affect the group s future profitability. Financial Highlight The group reported a CAGR of 6.4% for its revenue from FY09 to FY13. PAT grew by a CAGR of 40.5% for the same period, mainly due to significant gross margin expansion of 32ppt to 48% in FY13 from 16% in FY09. The increase in margin was underpinned by higher selling price of new launches over existing landbank with low land costs. Page 4 of 6
Figure 4: Unbilled sales to support FY14-16 revenue growth Figure 4: Net profits driven by margin expansion Earnings Forecast We envisage the group s FY14-16net profit to grow at a commendable CAGR of 18.2%, anchored by unbilled sales of approximately RM500mn and an outstanding GDV of RM3.3bn for future development. We assume the group s property sales to range between RM400mn RM550mn for FY14-16, with a PBT margin of 32-35%. We have also factored in an annual +2.0% increase in share base over the next 5 years, arising from RCPS conversion. Dividend Policy The group has a dividend policy to distribute up to 40% of the group s net profit to shareholders. Based on our earnings forecasts, we expect the group to pay dividend of 5.8sen-8.2sen/share for FY14-16. This would translate to dividend yield of 3.9%- 5.4% based on IPO price of RM1.50. Valuation Titijaya Land Bhd is the first IPO in the property sector post Budget 2014. We think the price performance is crucial and can be used as an indicator of investors mood for investing in property stocks. This is especially true after those cooling measures introduced in Budget 2014 and also the possible deferment in the listing ofa mega IPO, i.e.iskandar Waterfront Holdings, to end- 2014 from the initial target in 4Q13. While we are generally upbeat on the company s strong presence in the Klang Valley and projected double-digit earnings growth for FY14-16 driven by sizable GDV lined-up, weak sentiment on property stocks could dampen Titijaya s share price performance. At IPO price of RM1.50, Titijaya is trading at 7.0x CY14 EPS, which is slightly higher than its peers average of 6.2x see Table 4. We fairly value Titijaya at RM1.50/share based on CY14 EPS of 21.5sen and a target PER of 7.0x, in line with our target PER of 7x for small-cap property stocks under our coverage. Page 5 of 6
