LKR Aitken Spence Hotel Holdings PLC Interim Update Q2 FY 15/16 Equity Research Second quarter net revenue remained stagnant compared to corresponding year previous quarter while profit from operations declined by 7.3% YOY due to decline in other operating income for the quarter under review which includes non recurring insurance income received for damaged water villas of Adaaran HudhuRan Fushi. Net Profit for 2QFY16 was LKR 210 Mn largely unchanged compared with the corresponding period. Investment Considerations -Due to the stagnant growth in the revenue, net profits for the 2Q recorded a slight decline to LKR 210 Mn while 6M earnings also posted a decline of 18.2%. Poor performance in the Maldivian hotels sector caused the decline in the earnings of AHUN. Since the earnings under review relates to the off season, we expect an improvement in earnings for remaining two quarters (peak tourism season) of the year owing to the expected expansions and with the overall positive outlook of tourism in SL. -For the 1HFY16, SL resorts contributed 25% to the top line and 33% to bottom line while South Asian sector contributed 75% to the top line and 67% to the bottom-line. Therefore AHUN has a significant exposure to the overseas operations which is mainly dominated by Maldives. AHUN as the single largest foreign owner in Maldives in terms of the capacity owns 630 rooms which is expected to further increase by 57% by 2018 with the addition of new 360 rooms on the newly acquired islands in Maldives (The impact of the new investment in Maldives has not been incorporated into our valuation as the commencement of construction is in the preliminary stage). Despite the short term political uncertainties, we expect sector prospects in Maldives to be positive in the next year with the government's initiatives to promote tourism industry (Maldives has the goal of increasing tourist arrivals to 1.5 Mn by 2016). Due to the high dependency on the overseas operations, depreciation of LKR against the USD is expected to have a net positive impact on the counter. -Due to the growth in the informal sector in SL, there could be a competition among the hotel operators resulting a threat to the large players.however we believe that AHUN will be in a better position to maintain the market share due to the continuous investment in the capacity during the next three years. Further AHUN has high ROE's compared to other peers reflecting the AHUN's strong position in the hotel sector. Proposal made in the budget 2016 requiring all hotels to be registered under the TDA by 1 June 2016, may also increase the cost of informal sector hotels, resulting in higher prices for them benefitting larger players including AHUN. -AHUN is currently expanding its portfolio of resorts. The expansion of Turya Katutura increased the room capacity by 90 rooms to 200 and opened on 1st November 2015. Further Heritance Negombo with room capacity of 143 is scheduled to be opened during the early 2016. After reassessing the existing investments AHUN discontinued the existing management contracts in India and acquired a 143 roomed hotel in Chennai and rebranded as "Turya"while it started the operations in end of October 2015. We expect these projects to contribute to the group profit FY15/16. Construction of 'RIU Resort Ahungalla' which is a JV with Spanish hotel developer RIU, is also expected to commence operations in November 2016. Above mentioned expansion projects of AHUN including the expansion in Maldives are expected to increase the current room capacity of 2141 to total of 3145 by 46% by 2018.

Further AHUN will be liable to pay 15% on income tax compared with the previous tax rate of 12% according to the revision made in the budget 2016. We have incorporated the impact of both taxes into our valuation. Further increase of VAT charge by 1.5% and NBT by 2% can lead to a reduction in earnings of AHUN. However positive measures proposed on tourism development such as removal of tourism development levy and measures taken to improve the MICE tourism may have a positive impact on AHUN.

However given the fact that room inventory of AHUN to be increased, our FCFE model values the Shareholders below 5% 20%, LOSEC Research counter at LKR 107.00, taking a cost of equity of 13.18%. Further AHUN's share has been under performing during the recent past while the counter currently trading at PE of 10.57 and PBV of 1.35 which is below than the respective sector PE of 17.09 and PBV of 1.42. Analyst (s) Hiruni Perera Therefore on the expectations that AHUN will be able to capitalize the growing number of tourist arrivals inline with the ongoing capacity expansion and also given the fact that counter is trading at a discount, we maintain our recommendation "BUY". 07 December 15 Recommendation Guidance, Important Disclosures and Analyst Certification: Page 07 +94 117 880809 hirunipe@lolcsecurities.com

Valuation We have taken into account a cost of equity of 13.18% and a free cash flow terminal growth of 5% inline with the projected average annual growth in tourist arrivals (2020-2030) for South Asia according to UNWTO. Mid term growth of 6.8% has been assumed inline with the projected growth in tourist arrivals (2010-2020) for South Asia. Our FCFE model values the counter at LKR 107.00. At the current share price, AHUN is trading at PE of 10.57X and a PBV of 1.35X compared with the respective sector PE of 17.09X and PBV of 1.42X. AHUN's trailing PE is attractive compared to domestic hotel sectors while ROE is also high compared to peers.
