China Resources Land (CR Land) recorded 13% y-o-y growth in rental income in 1H17 (22% for retail malls). The Investment Property (IP) segment excluding hotels, recorded significant margin improvement, from 67.7% in 1H16 to 70.2%. The IP value recorded on its book is HK$106bn (or 22% of CR Land s total asset value). We believe there is high revaluation potential as (1) current cap rates to derive valuation are 6-7.75% for completed IPs and 6.5% to 7% for IPs under construction, which we believe have room to compress; (2) same-store-sales growth in retail malls grew 27% y-o-y in 1H17 (27% for matured malls and 28% for immature malls). This, coupled with a lower occupancy cost of 14.3% in 1H17 (from 15.6% in FY16), could translate to future rental growth; and (3) the management has raised guidance for rental income expectations to HK$10bn-11bn (or 15% CAGR) by 2019, a level that is sufficient to consider a spinoff. The current fair value of IP accounts for 65% of CR Land s current market cap, which makes CR Land s valuation look attractive. Potential to speed up growth. The management senses that the market expects CR Land to speed up presales growth to maintain a relatively higher scale among peers. It is reviewing its business plan, investment strategy and balance sheet policies to improve its strategy to deliver higher growth including potential spinoff of its IP segment, introducing incentive policies/strategic investors, major M&As, and city redevelopment projects leveraging on its parent s support. CR Land added 4.4m sm to its land bank in 1H17 on an attributable basis compared with 4.4m sm GFA sold. We believe CR Land has moved past the high initial investment period for IP, and will have more resources available for land acquisitions to speed up presales growth. Double digit core EPS growth for the full year remains intact. 1H17 core earnings declined by 25%, as 1H17 deliveries accounted for only 27% of our full-year delivery target. The company has Rmb152.4bn of unbooked sales as at mid-17, of which Rmb66.8bn will be recognised in 2H17. Gross margin of the 39 major projects contributing to revenue in 2H17 average at 44%. Our projection of 17% full year earnings growth is achievable in our view. We revised our TP to HK$28.79, after rolling to our valuation base to FY18. Valuation: CR Land s current valuation is 7.5x FY18F PE, and the shares have underperformed the sector by 21% year-to-date. We believe CR Land's share price is attractive and worth accumulating at the current level. Key Risks to Our View: The Shenzhen market, if it weakens further, could impact the company s 2017 sales outlook. At A Glance Issued Capital (m shrs) 6,931 Mkt.

CRITICAL FACTORS TO WATCH Critical Factors Raised 2017 sales target by 10% to Rmb132bn. This represents 22% y-o-y growth from Rmb108bn in 2016. We think this is achievable based on Rmb243bn saleable resources and a targeted 54% sell-through rate. It achieved 73.9bn in 7M17, locking in 56% of the revised sales target. With more new saleable resources to be launched (Rmb105bn in 2H17, vs. Rmb31bn in 1H17), we expect sales to pick up in 2H17. Target double digit growth for core earnings and EPS over the mid-term. Management aims to maintain its top 10 ranking in the top sales list in the mid-term and has sped up land acquisitions to drive future growth. Management has budgeted Rmb80bn for land acquisitions (achieved c.61% of its 2017 sales target) in 2017 to fuel future growth. Management will not relax their criteria for landbanking, as its strategy is to achieve quality growth. Management aims to deliver double digit growth for its core earnings or EPS. Rental income growth supported by strong pipeline. Rental income from malls increased by 17% y-o-y to in 1H17 on a liketo-like basis. Same-store-sales growth at its retail malls grew 27.8% y-o-y in 1H17. As a result, tenants occupancy cost dropped to 14.3% in 1H17 from 15.6% in FY16, which offers room for rental increases in the future. Management guided up rental income expectations to HK$10bn-11bn (or 15% CAGR) by 2019, based on the current pipeline. Gross margin of IP (excl. hotels) improved to 70.7% in 1H17.

In 1H17, overall gross profit margins improved to 34.9% from 33.9% in 1H16. As of end-1h17, total unbooked sales amounted to Rmb152.4bn, with Rmb66.8bn to be recognised in 2H17. In addition, gross margin of 39 major projects contributing to revenue in 2H17 average at 44%. Therefore, gross margin should continue to be maintained at a high level (30-35%) in FY17/18F. 0% 6% 4% 2% FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16E FY17E Average funding costs Low funding cost and SG&A expense. Average funding cost edged down to 4.13% in 1H17 from 4.23% in 2016. CR Land could leverage on its low funding cost to support the development of investment properties in the future. SG&A as a percentage of contracted sales decreased to 4.0% in 1H17 from 4.5% in 1H16. The overall cost structure still has room to improve. More potential in urban redevelopment business. It currently has more than 10 potential urban redevelopment projects, with total GFA of 9m sm. In Shenzhen, it has 9 projects under negotiation. It also actively seeks for M&A opportunities. 0% FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 Effective tax rate 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16E FY17E FY18E Page 5
Balance Sheet: Healthy balance sheet. CR Land s net debt ratio went up to 41% at end-1h17 from 24% as at end-2016, due to accelerated landbanking. It will continue to gear up for growth, and will closely monitor its key financial matrix to maintain its investment grade. Improving debt structure. The HK$/US$-denominated debt portion further declined from 31% as at end-2016 to 27% at end-1h17. Share Price Drivers: Continued recovery in retail sales in shopping malls. Recovery in retail sales in China may change investors view on mall operators. CR Land will be the largest beneficiary.
