RHB Indonesia - Ciputra Development - Toning Down Our Forecasts (Ciputra Development, Summarecon Agung) Unknown Jumat, 06 Oktober 2017




Good morning,

Ciputra Development – Toning Down Our Forecasts

We believe the sector would pick up starting this year, following the recent cut in benchmark rate. However, we are toning down our previously over-optimistic marketing sales expectations for Ciputra, to better reflect its YTD achievement. As a result, our earnings forecasts have been reduced by 35% and 42% for 2017F-2018F respectively, and we roll over our valuation to 2018F to derive our new TP of IDR1,250 (from IDR1,900, 4% upside), which implies 64% discount to RNAV. Downgrade to NEUTRAL (from Buy).

¨ Reality check. Our previous assumptions for Ciputra Development’s (Ciputra) presales was following the Government’s decision to lay out several stimulus packages for the sector, including the latest benchmark rate cut of 25bps. However, the company’s marketing sales achievement up to 8M17 only made up 38% of our full-year expectations (vs its target of 45%). This presales achievement was also below its 5-year historical average of 60% for the Jan-Aug period (Figure 1). In addition, the company is lagging in its financial performance as 1H17’s revenue and earnings were only 28% and 25% of our initial full-year projections for revenue and earnings respectively.
¨ Cutting assumptions. As Ciputra’s performance did not improve from the previous quarter, we are lowering our marketing sales target for 2017F-2018F to IDR6.28trn (-38%) and IDR6.4trn (-42%) respectively. As a result, our 2017F-2018F earnings have been reduced by 35% and 42% respectively.
¨ SGD150m MTN issuance. On 20 Sep, Ciputra issued a 5-year SGD150m medium-term note (MTN) at 4.85%. This would be used to refinance its SGD65m MTN due in Feb 2018. The remaining amount would likely be used to settle several bank loans. Post issuance, we estimate its blended cost of debt to be around 9.6%. The company’s balance sheet remains healthy, in our view, where we estimate net gearing to remain below 40% post MTN issuance, with interest coverage to be more than 2x by year-end.
¨ Upcoming launches. Ciputra’s new landed housing cluster project was launched in Surabaya mid-September, with the company booking IDR1.1trn worth of marketing sales on the first day of launch. There are three high rise projects in the pipeline that are targeted for launching by the end of the year – Newton 2 (Ciputra World Jakarta 2 Extension with ~400 units and targeted proceeds of IDR400-450bn), The Suites Apartment (CWJ 2 with ~12 service apartment units and targeted proceeds of IDR400bn), and Citra Plaza Batam (Batam with targeted proceeds of IDR200-300bn).
¨ Downgrade to NEUTRAL on lower earnings and presales projections. Our SOP-based TP suggests a 64% discount to our RNAV of IDR3,493/share (vs management’s internal RNAV estimate of IDR3,600/share). Ciputra is currently trading at a 66% discount to our RNAV (in line with the sector average RNAV discount). Risks to our call include lower marketing sales achievement, regulatory changes, economic slowdown, and higher-than-expected marketing sales achievement. (Yualdo Tirtakencana)

Company Update:

Summarecon Agung (SMRA IJ, Neutral, TP: IDR1,125), 9M17 Marketing Sales Are In Line With Estimates
Summarecon’s marketing sales came up to IDR1,991bn in 9M17 (-10% YoY), in line with and at 74% of our full-year projection (our 5-year historical average: 75%). We remain cautious on its prospects, due to its high gearing level, interest costs as well as soft presales during 9M17. However, we expect its performance to improve in 2018, with a 7% topline CAGR estimated for FY17-19. Our unchanged IDR1,125 TP (3% upside) is derived by applying a 60% discount to RNAV. Maintain NEUTRAL.

¨ September presales are still weak. Summarecon Agung’s (Summarecon) presales in Septemper were soft, amounting to IDR147bn (-52% MoM, -27% YoY). The largest contribution to the company’s presales came from its Serpong project (41%). This was followed by projects in Bandung (18.5%), Karawang (17.8%), Bekasi (13.7%) and Kelapa Gading (9%).
¨ Upcoming launch. On 28 Oct, the company is set to launch its next project in Serpong, featuring two residential sub-clusters named Verdi and Vivaldi. Both sub-clusters are located within the Symphonia cluster. Summarecon expects to book IDR300bn of presales from these two launches. (Yualdo Tirtakencana)
