Make Hay While the Sun Shines

Property Developers Make Hay While the Sun Shines By Sarah Lim l sarahlim@kenanga.com.my ; Adrian Ng l adrian.ng@kenanga.com.my UNDERWEIGHT We are downgrading PROPERTY to UNDERWEIGHT from NEUTRAL. We believe the recent exuberance in property stocks was largely based on expectations of positive monetary measures from the new BNM governor and on bottomed-out valuations. However, we take a cautious view as the sector is going through structural adjustments, i.e. issues beyond demand-supply, but rather an industry dynamics issue extending into the banking system. There is no easy monetary solution in sight and measures like DIBS for first-time home buyers may not impact developers sales meaningfully due to the current rebates/easyfinancing schemes in place but may present more future risks for the banking system. While affordable housing remains a theme, it can be a negative to most developers group margins, especially those which are not traditional affordable housing developers; ironically, targeting such markets means such pool of buyers is also facing one of the highest loan rejection rates, as observed by REHDA s recent survey. Notably, CY15 Malaysia Residential Transacted Values (MRTV), used as our developer s sales proxy, declined by 10% YoY or the first time in 10 years and we predict a weaker CY16 MRTV (-2% YoY). For our universe, average developers sales growth for FY16E is -9% (FY15: -20%); however, if 40%-50% of launches do not take by mid-2016, expect developers sales targets to be trimmed, meaning that earnings risks still remain. Industry players expect a stronger 2H16, implying that the banking system s loans growth needs to move in tandem; our view on banking sector remains NEUTRAL and expect loans growth to be weak. Developers earnings cycle has weakened for FY16-17E, implying that valuations may remain compressed. Average RNAV discounts are now at 53% or slightly below its historical average of 49% or Global Financial Crisis peak levels of 64%. So, can we truly say that property valuations have bottomed if there are still earnings risks in the near horizon? At this juncture, we see no real reason to change our valuations (mostly at -1.0SD to historical average). As a result of the recent property stocks rally, we downgrade UEMS, IOIPG and KSL to UNDERPERFORM while our previous preferred pick UOADEV is now a MARKET PERFORM (other recommendations are largely unchanged). For investors who have positions or have recently jumped onto the bandwagon of positive property measures, we advise investors to top slice while sentiment is positive. For investors who have not taken position in developers, we strongly suggest avoiding the sector for now. We will reassess our sector call again once we have confirmation that key launches from our universe of developers have taken place and that take-up rates are expediting. Reasons the market is drumming-up for property stocks. The broad market has been rebounding on the back of a strengthening Ringgit while economic outlook appears to have stabilized. Developers, being a traditionally high-beta sector, are viewed to be a natural proxy to the economy. We note that the market is looking at bottom-fishing opportunities on a hypothesis that the sector is trading at bombed-out valuations. It also appears the market is thinning out on investment ideas; hence, the plays for market laggards or bombed-out sectors, which naturally points towards the Property sector. There are even talks that the new Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) Governor could introduce new measures to revive the market (e.g. DIBS for first-time home owners, reassessment on LTV methods). Hold your horses!!! However, fundamental data is revealing that the sector may be undergoing a structural change which may change the traditional property cycle altogether. Also, can we truly say that developer s valuations have truly bottomedout if there are still earnings risks? Easing monetary policies, wishful or realistic? With the changing of guards at BNM, investors expect the new BNM governor to introduce measures to boost the property sector within the first 6-9 months of his/her new office. REHDA and other property developers continue to campaign to bring back DIBS for first-time home owners; if introduced it will buoy sales for affordable housing developers (e.g. HUAYANG, MATRIX, KSL) while larger township developers (e.g. ECOWLD, SPSETIA, MAHSING, IOIPG) are expected to release more of such products. However, it appears there are a lot of concerns on whether it will be a strain on the banking system s future asset quality or if it will cause more default rates down the road if these loan applicants do not have the right credit standing to start off with. We also think the main obstacle lie with the barriers of entry where first-time home buyers without sufficient credit standing are given lower margin of finance. As it is we are seeing a wide amount of rebates and various financing schemes to aid developers; it also means the introduction of DIBS for first-time home owners may not be as impactful to the sector. Another possible monetary measure is increasing the 70% LTV cap on third home purchases onwards; but we think this is unlikely as it means that the policy is targeted at investors rather than addressing home affordability issues. We believe BNM will face challenges balancing between the longer-term health of the banking system and asset qualities vs. loans growth, i.e. no easy monetary solution in sight.

Structural rather than a demand-supply issue. Overall, the banking system is going through an era of slowing loans growth. According to our banking analyst, the banking system Loans-To-Deposit Ratio (LDR) has hit another high of 87% at Jan-16, indicating that lending liquidity may remain tight even in the event of a lower interest rate (refer to APPENDIX for lending rate trends). Both Residential (Non-Residential) Loans Applied and Approved continues to deteriorate at -6% YoY and -34% YoY (- 22% YoY and -44% YoY), respectively, for Jan-2016. Meanwhile while banks are still lending, they are clearly limiting property exposure as the ratio of Property Loans Approved to Total Banking System Loans Approved has dropped to 31% in Jan-2016 or back to Global Financial Crisis (GFC) 2008-09 levels. Unlike the strong rebound in the property market observed post the GFC, the sector is now in a different era where tight lending liquidity persists on the back of high LDRs while house prices are much higher than it was five years ago.

It appears that we can expect more incoming supply based on Incoming Supply trends while Malaysia Residential Property Absorption Rate (Incoming Supply as % of Demand) has deteriorated to pre-2007 levels (see charts below). A lot of the supplies of properties sold under the DIBS schemes during 2012-13 are seeing deliveries this year while the overall market from both sale and rental front is soft. Additionally, NAPIC has recorded declining primary residential sales performances of 41.4% in 2015 vs. 45.4% in 2014 (10-year average: 45.0%), which could suggest that buyers are turning towards the secondary market, which does not bode well for developers. Developers will have to work harder in terms of concept offerings, incentives and ultimately the right pricing at the right location, and we expect listed and/or reputable developers to fight for market share in a shrinking pie to sustain sales PP7004/02/2013(031762) Page 2 of 20

targets. We also expect the affordable housing theme to remain in the lime-light, implying that developers will need to work harder i.e. volume game, to achieve or maintain sales/earnings levels; note that moving into the affordable housing theme could mean margin compressions for most developers, particularly the bigger boys who have exposures to higher-end higher-margin products in the past. The irony of targeting the affordable markets is that loan rejection rates tend to be higher; this was also observed by REHDA s recent release of its 2H2015 survey results, which indicated the highest loan rejection rates were for: (i) properties priced from RM500k-700k/unit at 30%, and (ii) RM250k-RM500k/unit at 28%, while higher-end properties priced between RM700k-RM1m/unit only faced 16% loan rejection rates. Between MATRIX and HUAYANG, we prefer HUAYANG as an affordable housing play due to its cheap valuations and high dividend yields vs. MATRIX.

The real estate sector is known to be one of the pillars of any economy. Locally, Malaysia Property Transacted Values makes up 7.0% of Malaysia s Nominal GDP based on a 7-year average (10-year average: 6.7%). However, over 2015, the ratio has reduced to 5.4% in 4Q15. The KLPRP Index tends to follow this general movement, and if past trends prevail, we can expect the KLPRP Index and thus, property stock prices, to continue the downtrend.

Infrastructure stories (e.g. High-Speed-Rail) are also unlikely to revive the sector in the near-term as these catalysts are longer-term play. However, if there are reversals of negative sector policies or introduction of catalytic ones (particularly monetary related measures) during Budget-2017 announcement, the sector may see re-ratings; but as mentioned, we think it is unlikely this year. Ironically, lowering or removal of RPGTs may also be viewed as a negative for developers in view of encouraging incoming supply. Landbanking news is likely to be patchy this year, although most developers say they PP7004/02/2013(031762) Page 4 of 20

are eyeing for landbanks. Given the current weak environment, developers are looking for bargains and are likely to hold-out on acquisitions until sellers become more desperate; additionally, we get the sense that developers are also looking to take care of their balance sheet (universe average net gearing: 0.3x; refer to Appendix for details) as visibility of the sector is not clear at the moment. Furthermore, in the past we observe that developers share prices tend to be less sensitive to landbanking newsflow when the sector is in a down-cycle. Expecting CY16 residential sales to decline by -2%. CY15 Malaysia Residential Transaction Values (MRTV) dropped by 10% YoY, the first decline observed in 10 years. We expect the MRTV for CY16 to decline by 2% YoY based on the following: (i) expect household sizes and households appetite of property purchase to remain similar to last year as lending liquidity has not changed while our population study suggests flattish sales volumes, (ii) assumed an average 1.3% increase in population size in line with the last 3 years trend, (iii) expecting 2016 average residential price per unit transacted to decline slightly by 3% YoY as developers release more affordable housing supplies (CY15 average price per unit transacted declined by 6% YoY).

Based on our universe, we expect developers to see an average 9% YoY decline in FY16 sales vs. our prediction that CY16 MRTV will ease by 2% YoY (our universe of developers recorded a 20% YoY decline in FY15 sales vs. CY15 MRTV which fell by 10% YoY). However, we believe there are still risks to our sales assumptions: A stronger 2H déjà vu? We hear many industry players singing the tune of a stronger 2H16 and we cannot help but get the sense of déjà vu as this was the same mantra recited by most developers over 2015; recalled that between Jun-Aug 2015, we had to trim sales targets for 70% of developers under coverage. So when industry players say a better 2H16, do they really expect the issues faced by the banking sector, including high LDRs and slowing loans growth, to dramatically reverse by 2H16? Until there are changes in monetary policies for the sector, we doubt 2H16 will be any better than 1H16. Limited visibility for everyone. Stick to what you have in the books! We note that developers are adopting extra cautious approaches, including clearing of inventories and unsold WIPs. They are also focusing on delivery and realizing unbilled sales because in the past few years, quality of deliverables has suffered due to the heated property sector. The tone has changed very much compared to the bullish property market of 2012-13 where developers only talked about launches. We cannot say for certain that scheduled launches over 2016 will take place as planned, as experienced last year. If 40%-50% of launches do not take place by mid-2016, we can expect developers to trim targets further; this is because we note that it can take up to 12 months for a project to achieve 60%-70% take-up rates due to slow conversions of booking to SPA sales on lending issues. Until then, the market s visibility will remain opaque. PP7004/02/2013(031762) Page 5 of 20

Can we truly say that property valuations have bottomed if there are still earnings risks in the near horizon? In terms of Fwd. PER and Fwd. PBV, big-cap developers are mainly trading at trough to average levels while small-mid cap ones are trading at average to +1.0SD levels, save for exceptions like MATRIX whose Fwd. PER is at near peak valuations (refer to Appendix). In terms of RNAV discount, our universe of developers is trading at 53%, which is similar to the last quarter (7-year historical average RNAV discount for the sector is at 49%), suggesting that valuations have bottomed. This is far from its historical peak discount rate of 64% back in 2009. However, our sales assumptions still have risks of downward revisions by mid-year as we highlighted earlier that even without any major sales target revisions, the earnings trajectory of developers is already losing steam. In light of potentially weaker earnings cycle, we reckon that calling a bottom on valuations now may be jumping the gun. KLPRP Fwd PBV vs. YoY Chg in Malaysia Residential Transacted Values (MRTV) Source: CEIC, Bloomberg, JPPH, Kenanga Research To recap what we mentioned in our sector report, we highlighted the following; (i) During the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-09, the KLPRP Index Fwd. PBV hit a low of 0.5x, which was in tandem with the slowdown in MRTV back in 2009 of +1% YoY (Fig 17), (ii) Over 2010-14, the MRTV achieved a healthy average growth rate of 15% YoY (range: 6%-22%) while the KLPRP Fwd. PBV valuations remained above 0.6x (-1.0SD), and (iii) However, CY15 MRTV showed growth of -10% YoY the first decline in 10 years. Since we expect CY16 MRTV to be weak at -2% YoY, it begs the question of; will the sector de-rate to 2008-09 levels if the Malaysia Residential Transacted Values (MRTV) shows its sharpest decline in 10 years?

RECOMMENDATIONS No good reasons to change our valuations. Our applied RNAV discounts for developers are based on historical average to - 1.0SD levels, save for a few exceptions, which are valued at +1.0SD because; (i) developers like MATRIX which are operating in pure affordable housings in Negeri Sembilan is facing less loan rejection issues compared to affordable housing developers in Klang Valley, and (ii) ECOWLD as we anticipate the listing of EWI by 3Q16 to buoy its share prices as ECOWLD is expected to take-up a 30% stake in EWI. Based on the earlier reasons mentioned, there is no fundamental reason to change our valuations as it is reflective of the property market scenario, save for EWI which we widen its Property RNAV discount closer to our sector average. As a result of the recent share price exuberance observed in property counters, we are downgrading CALLs for UEMS, IOIPG and KSL to UNDERFORM from MARKET PERFORM while our previous preferred pick (for 4Q15 and 1Q16), UOADEV is now MARKET PERFORM (from OUTPERFORM) due to its strong share price rally of late. Our CALLS are maintained for the following; (i) MARKET PERFORM for SPSETIA, SUNWAY, MAHSING, MRCB, MATRIX), and (ii) OUTPERFORM for ECOWLD and HUAYANG. Downgrade Property sector to UNDERWEIGHT, from NEUTRAL, due to our downgrades in calls. For investors who have positions or have recently jumped onto the bandwagon of potential positive property measures, we advise investors to make hay while the sun shines i.e. top slice while sentiment is riding high. For investors that have not taken position in developers, we strongly suggest avoiding the sector for now. We will reassess our sector call again once we have confirmation that key launches from our universe of developers have taken place and that take-up rates are expediting.

APPENDIX Results Review 4QCY15 set of earnings was better than expected. Out of 12 developers under coverage; (i) 42% (UOADEV, IOIPG, SPSETIA, MATRIX, ECOWLD) exceeded estimates mainly on better billing progresses, (ii) 17% (MRCB, KSL) came below. This is an improvement from last quarter as only 8% came above while majority (67%) was broadly within expectations. WIPs/Inventories led to better sales in 4Q. Headline sales wise, (i) 33% exceeded their targets (SUNWAY, SPSETIA, MATRIX, MRCB) as developers focused on affordable housings, clearance of WIPs/inventories via heavy marketing campaigns and/or benefitted from overseas sales, (ii) 25% missed targets (UOADEV, HUAYANG, KSL) due to deferment of new launches. This is an improvement from last quarter, where 67% of developers were on track while the remaining missed targets. However, note that several developers did revised down their targets in mid-2015. Similar earnings revision quantum to last quarter. Earnings revision wise, (i) we have trimmed earnings for 42% of developers (MAHSING, UOADEV, SUNWAY, MRCB, KSL) on weaker sales prospects and margin compressions, (ii) raise earnings for 25% of developers (IOIPG, SPSETIA, ECOWLD) due to more aggressive billing cycles. Over the reporting season, we lowered TPs for 25% of developers (SETIA, CRESNDO, KSL) while the others remained unchanged. CALL wise, only KSL was downgraded while IOIPG was upgraded. This is similar, if not, slightly better than last quarter (33% and 8% of TPs lowered and raised, respectively) while 17% was downgraded. Property Stock Performance over 1QCY16 Property stocks underperform the market, as expected. As of our price cut-off date on 18/3/16, the FBMKLPRP Index was up slightly by 1.1% vs. the FBMKLCI s 3.8%. Big cap developers (>RM3b market cap) held up relatively well with an average of +2.1% YTD returns while small-mid cap ones (<RM3b market cap) was down by -0.9% YTD.
