ow time flies when you are having fun.

It was not a lot of fun some 12 months ago when the world was in the throes of a financial crisis. Economists and analysts tried to reassure everyone that in 1H09 things will bottom out and a recovery will be seen in 2H09.

As the year draws to a close, we are seeing a gradual recovery and the downslide did not seem to hurt as much as feared – though to many, it did hurt a lot, as unemployment data will attest. If only our economy is as resilient as rubber: it would bounce back in a jiffy!

This issue, we feature an exclusive interview with Minister for Plantation Industries and Commodities, Tan Sri Bernard Giluk Dompok, who shared his views on the rubber industry. It may interest you to know that Malaysia has no intention to regain its crown as the world’s top rubber producer. No, our land resources are too scarce and can be put to better use.

Yet, there are big plans for downstream

rubber industries, which is good news for the manufacturing sector, and in turn, investors in such companies. Find out more in our Perspective article.

Fiscal reforms are also in the pipeline with the impending introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). It will not be for at least another 18 months, but the government has already let on that it will be a low 4% rate, and the GST will replace the current sales and service taxes, which are at a higher 5% to 10%.

Nonetheless, concerns linger regarding its implementation and businesses are particularly concerned since the tax is paid upfront for every transaction, and refunds must be claimed to prevent over-taxation. Will there be an adequate system in place to cope with this massive paperwork?

Happy investing and have a prosperous New Year! To our Christian readers, we also bid you a Merry and Blessed Christmas. May there be many great stocks in your stocking!

RESILIENT RUBBER

M

alaysia used to be the world’s biggest producer of natural rubber. It lost its dominance as the supplier for one-third of the world’s output in 1985 with the country’s shift towards industrialization. The lucrative prices of crude palm oil also led many plantation estates to change crops, favouring oil palm over rubber.

Yet, the rubber industry remains important to Malaysia, stressed Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities, Tan Sri Bernard Giluk Dompok, in an exclusive interview with Shares Investment (Malaysia).

Malaysia does not aim to regain its position as the world’s top producer, he said. “We are constrained by a shortage of labour and competitive land use. Our direction is on value-added industrial and general rubber products,” he explained.

Malaysia is the largest producer of latex gloves. Global demand for gloves is expected to grow by 10%-12% annually, Tan Sri Bernard said. The demand for natural (NR) and synthetic (SR) latex is expected to grow in tandem.

In 2008, the domestic rubber industry consumed 603,191 tonnes of rubber, of which 77.7% was natural rubber. The government’s strategy is to

diversify rubber products from NR-base latex products to SRbased industrial rubber goods, especially in automotive and engineering components. Consumption of SR is expected to increase to 153,000 tonnes by 2010, 205,000 tonnes in 2015 and 270,000 by 2020.

The Third Industrial Master Plan (3IMP) envisaged the production of seismic bearings, rubber fender systems, automotive rubber-metal components and high-pressure hoses, for example. “The strategy is to manufacture high-end specialised products where Malaysia has the comparative advantage in research & development support and expertise,” he said.

Since the 1970s, the Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB) has been developing rubber seismic bearing technology to be used in earthquake-prone countries. This would protect buildings, people and contents within buildings during earthquakes. The effectiveness of such technology was evident in Northridge (1994) and Kobe (1995): buildings with such technology withstood the quakes better than those that did not.

“The government is also actively implementing steps to further broaden applications into high value-added and high technology areas, such as engineering, marine, automotive, aeronautical and military

Tan Sri Bernard: The rubber industry remains important to Malaysia

applications.

“With the rubber products industry entering a mature phase, and increasing competition from countries such as Thailand and China, issues such as creativity, innovation, efficiency, cost reduction and product designs will be a priority. Market access and penetration will depend not only on competitive pricing but customised products of high or improved quality,” Tan Sri Bernard explained.

To this end, the Ministry is encouraging R&D and protecting intellectual property (IP). “Intellectual property registration is the first priority.

Our Technology Management Office (TMO) is looking for ways to protect our inventions, including the application of laws such as the Patents Act, 1983, Copyright Act 1987, Industrial Designs Act 1996 and the Trade Marks Act 1976.

4

MSHE_4-5_Perspective2.indd 4

12/3/09 5:18:27 PM

“The MRB also has an IP committee to ensure IP protection and facilitate the propagation of technologies to authorised stakeholders.

The committee oversees IP registration for the MRB and works closely with IP agents to stay up-to-date and avoid administrative errors in the filing process,” he explained.

The MRB is also guided by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation’s IP Policy which encourages scientists to protect their inventions and be rewarded when their R&D findings are successfully commercialised.

Investments in rubber manufacturing have been very encouraging, said Tan Sri Bernard. Investment grew at CAGR of 25.5% from RM328m in 2003 to RM812m in 2007, although total investments dipped to RM696m in 2008 due to unfavourable economic conditions, he explained.

The government offers various incentives to encourage investment in this sector, such as tax exemptions and allowances, incentives for investors producing certain rubber products, and incentives for companies setting up manufacturing plants in promoted areas such as Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Perlis, Mersing in Johor, Sabah and Sarawak. For instance, imported raw materials and machinery or equipment not produced locally are exempted from import duty.

PLANTATION STILL A PRIORITY

Rubber planting and harvesting are still important to

Tan Sri Bernard’s Ministry as they are a main source of income for about 250,000 smallholders in rural areas.

“A rubber tree is a virtual Automated Teller Machine. It generates income on tap.

Rubber latex and sheet rubber can be stored and sold when needed, unlike palm oil which must be processed almost immediately,” he explained.

“Therefore, the government will continue to improve tree and land productivity for areas planted with rubber. “ The MRB is responsible for the development of the Malaysian rubber industry. Initially, its activities were centred on upstream activities. Since the 1950s, it produced a series of high latex-yielding clones. In recent years, it shifted its focus to produce clones called latextimber clones that have a high latex yield and produce quality rubber wood.

“Consumers know that rubber wood comes from farmed trees. This is appealing to countries that are environmentally conscious and want to protect natural rainforests by avoiding hardwood timber,” Tan Sri Bernard explained.

The MRB also developed latex harvesting technology that uses gaseous or chemical stimulation to prolong latex flow; improves tapper productivity; and prolongs the economic life of the trees.

“So far, the application of the Low Intensity Tapping System has benefited 85,000 smallholders.

“Tappers can improve yields up to 1,500kg per hectare per annum with Ethephon,

and up to 2,500kg per hectare per annum with gaseous stimulation,” Tan Sri Bernard explained.

The MRB promotes land and management consolidation programs to put uneconomic holding sizes under a central and more efficient management. “It is always our policy to encourage largescale holdings to enjoy economies of scale. Smallholdings are often developed as large blocks and placed under central management. FELDA, FELCRA, RISDA mini-estates and RRIM Panti are examples of such centralised management,” he said.

“We also encourage private plantation companies to go back to rubber, by replanting their hilly and marginal land (areas that are unsuitable for oil palm planting) with rubber. Incentives such as Reinvestment Allowance, Accelerated Agricultural Allowance, Pioneer Status and Promoted Areas, and high rubber prices have attracted many plantation-based companies to do so.

“The government also promotes sustainable forest plantations with monetary and fiscal incentives. In such programs, rubber is the preferred species. The wood can be harvested when the trees are 16-years-old, but from year nine onwards, latex can be tapped to generate income and provide additional raw material to rubber-based industries. This program is administered by Forest Plantation Development Sdn Bhd,” he said.

MARKETS HEADED FOR CONSOLIDATION FBM Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (FBMKLCI): Due for bigger consolidation

The Malaysian equity market benchmark index, the FBMKLCI made a new high in the month of Nov at 1,288.42 points before pulling back to 1,259.11 points end-Nov. The market was already feeling some selling pressure just below the technical resistance level at 1,300 points due to a lack of fresh catalysts.

Trading volume was rela-

tively lower than Oct. The FBMKLCI still managed to close higher month-to-month with an increase of 16 points or 1.3%. The monthly increase was relatively lower than the previous months’ increase and this shows that the upward momentum has eased.

While many expect the KLCI to cross above the psychological level of 1,300 points soon, I beg to differ: I think the market is due for a bigger consolidation which

is going to take about four to six months before the market can continue the uptrend again. In the uptrend since April this year, the FBMKLCI was supported well by the 30-day moving average whenever it consolidated.

However, on 30 Nov, the FBMKLCI was shaken and went below this moving average and therefore the market is expected to correct further and would probably find support only at 1,200 points. The immediate resistance is at

FTSE Straits Times Index (FTSTI): Heading towards immediate support level

I n m i d - N o v, t h e F T STI managed to test the 2,700-point immediate resistance level and rallied to the next resistance level at 2,800 points, climbing to as high as 2803.83 points. However, the market fell steeply in the last two trading days of the month by falling about 70 points or 2.5% to close at 2732.12 points.

On a month-to-month basis, the benchmark index still closed positively by an increase of 81 points or 3%. Trading volume declined slightly in the past few months. Investor confidence in the market has been weak.

The FTSTI is still in an uptrend and since April this year when the uptrend started, it has been supported by the 60-day moving average.

The moving average is currently at 2,685 points and this should be the immediate support level. The pattern from the chart shows that the market has strong support at 2,600 points.

The FTSTI is expected to head towards the immediate support level before continuing the trend. There is still a chance for the benchmark index to climb to the uptrend technical target of 3,000 points but this is unlikely to happen in the next four to six months. Immediate resistance level is 2,800 points.

In the middle of Nov, the HSI peaked at 23,100 points, the highest since August last year. Trading volume, which continued to decline slightly in the past few months, was quite high in the last few days of Nov. The HSI rebounded exactly on the 90-day moving average. Since April this year, the HSI was supported by the 60-day moving average but the 27 Nov plunge broke this support level.

GST At 4%

A

fter deferring the proposed broad-based Goods and Services Tax (GST) during Tun Abdullah Badawi’s tenure as prime minister, the government is finally going ahead with its implementation. It plans to introduce a 4% GST in 2011 and expects to earn RM1b in the first year. The tax legislation is expected to be tabled for first reading in Parliament this month, and may be implemented in mid-2011.

Second Finance Minister, Dato’ Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah told Bernama news agency that the GST will not put pressure on prices as it replaces the current sales and services tax, at 5% and 10% respectively. To ease the burden on consumers, staple foods such as rice, sugar, cooking oil and flour will be exempted.

Maybank Investment Bank’s chief economist, Suhaimi Ilias said the GST is needed to reduce the country’s growing dependence on petroleumbased revenues, and to address the imbalance in the tax structure caused by narrow-based sales and service taxes; falling revenues from trade-related duties (due to multilateral and bilateral free trade agreements); and a lowering of direct income taxes to boost economic competitive-

ness and make Malaysia a more attractive destination for foreign direct investments and businesses.

Whilst businesses generally have the responsibility to account for GST and remit the taxes to the government, the man in the street bears the burden of the tax, Chew Theam Hock, executive director of KPMG, told Shares Investment (Malaysia). “By introducing GST at a low rate, the impact can be softened or managed,” he added.

KPMG executive director, Tan Eng Yew, added that in principle, GST should apply across most goods and services. “Ideally, GST should not distort investment, production and consumption decisions.

As such, it should generally not affect the stock market.

Empirically, the introduction of GST In other countries has not had a significant impact on the stock markets,” he explained.

Asked on the likely tax treatment that would be applied to the stock market, Tan said the general treatment used in other countries could be adopted here as well: • The issue of shares or securities – to exempt supply • Brokerage and other feebased services – taxable supply • Late payment interest – exempt supply Usually, Chew said, GST is

introduced as a package that includes a reduction of income taxes, particularly personal income taxes, and the abolition of some other taxes. “The government has announced the replacement of sales tax and service tax, but has not indicated its plan on personal income tax,” he said.

An ideal GST structure should be broad-based singlerate regime for simplicity’s sake, Chew said. It should also be fixed at a low rate so as not to be too burdensome on the public, and exemption applied for essential items to further ease the burden on the public. However, he added, exemptions should be kept to a minimum as they have a tendency to create complexity and confusion.

Tan suggested that Free Zones or the equivalent be maintained to encourage ex-

port-based businesses.

It is also important for the government to provide clear transitional rules leading up to the GST’s implementation, he added.

Maybank IB’s Suhaimi said the public must also be educated to ensure a buy-in. He also stressed the importance of having the right systems in place. “The customs department and corporations must have the right systems in place. So sufficient preparation time is vital, especially for SMEs,” he said.

“Test runs must be done to ensure efficiency of processing claims for GST rebates as delays will hurt the cash flow of companies since they pay GST for their inputs and then

claim from the government,” he added.

The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) voiced the same concerns when it issued a statement in October. “The greatest concern of businesses, in particular, exporters, was the efficiency of refunds. The International Monetary Fund identified the efficiency of the refund mechanism as the Achilles’ heel of any GST system,” it said.

Efficiency depends on the quantum of refunds, the manpower to process the claims and the level of confidence in clearing and issuing refunds without carrying out pre-refund audits. “As Malaysia is a highly export-oriented

economy, GST refunds can be as high as 58.3% based on FMM’s estimates in 2005.

The promise of refunds within 14 days could be difficult to fulfill,” it said.

giving Thursday. The panic caused investors to sell on Friday and forced the DJI to fall 154.48 points or 1.48% to close at 10,309.92 points. The DJI went as low as 10,231 points intraday before rebounding to close higher.

On the last day of Nov, the DJI slightly rebounded to close at 10,344.84 points.

The selling pressure was not as bad as expected despite heavy losses in the Asian and European markets when the US was on holiday: it was buffered by improved consumer spending, jobless claims and home sales.

Trading volume was unexpectedly low as investors did not rush to sell, but preferred to hold on and wait for further

developments. The DJI is currently still in an uptrend supported strongly by 60-day moving average. The 60-day moving average is currently at 9,900 points and the DJI is expected to pullback to this immediate support level.

Momentum indicators have gone into the neutral zone, but in the long term, the uptrend is still strong because these indicators are in convergence with the uptrend. If the immediate support level is broken, the DJI may fall further into correction and find support at 9,700 points. However, if the immediate resistance level at 10,500 points is broken, the market may rally strongly to the next resistance level at 10,700 points.

Sept, which indicate stronger bearish pressure. This shows strong resistance and there is a little chance for the HSI to move higher above the recent peak of 23,100 points. The HSI may test the 90-day moving average support level again at 21,250 points and if this is broken, the market may continue to move further downwards to the next support level at 20,400 points.

MOMENTUM WEAKENING, TIME FOR A BREAK? Kuala Lumpur Composite Index Futures (FKLI)

The equity market once again extended the bullish rally by making a new high in mid-Nov. The FKLI went as high as 1,286 points, the highest since May last year. The underlying FBMKLCI went as high as 1,288 points. The futures market then pulled back and the FKLI (Nov) closed at 1,267

points at end-Nov and the Dec contract closed at 1,257 points.

The FKLI has been in an uptrend since April this year and the trading strategy here is to buy on dips, especially if it pulls back to the 30-day moving average. However, the uptrend is now questionable as the momentum gets weaker.

The FKLI is still above all

the short- to long-term 30- to 90-day moving averages.

The FKLI is once again at the 30-day moving average and based on the previous price action, it is expected to rebound from the current level.

The momentum of the uptrend appeared to be weaker.

is currently at its lowest since July. The Stochastic indicator is currently oversold.

We may expect a rebound to happen in the very near term but it may not rally as strongly as before because of a strong resistance at 1,300 points. However, the market may face immediate resistance at 1,280 points.

This provides a little potential upside if the plan is to go long at current levels between 1,250 and 1,260 points. The immediate support level is at 1,250 points and a stop should be placed below this level.

So, the plan to go long at, say 1,260 points, provides a

potential profit between 20 to 30 points, with a risk of 10 points. It is too early to have a short strategy as the uptrend is still intact.

The Average True Range (ATR) indicator reading is 11 points, which means a stop loss of 15 points should be sufficient. Therefore, trading risk should be 15 points, or stop loss placed at 1,245 points if going long at 1,260 points. The potential rewardto-risk ratio may not be attractive in the current situation and I would probably take a rest from trading this month. However, if I were still interested, I would think of going long.

Crude Palm Oil Futures (FCPO)

Just a month ago, the FCPO was at RM2,200 per metric ton and the strategy was to go long with a RM2,400 price target. The price of FCPO went as high as RM2,482 with an intraday high of RM2,521 before pulling back to settle at RM2,472 end-Nov. The resistance in Aug was RM2,521 as well and the price fell to RM2,000 in Oct. The price rally was mainly due to better than expected exports and a rebound in the US dollar.

INTRODUCE NEW FUEL SUBSIDY SCHEME WITH CARE

C

onsumers filling up petrol in Malaysia may no longer enjoy fuel subsidy in the present form if a new subsidy system is introduced in the second quarter of next year. Many, especially Malaysians, are waiting to see whether the new system to be introduced is fair to everyone.

Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah recently was quoted as saying that the new structure of the fuel subsidy system would be ready by April 2010. The system would enable huge savings on the part of the government.

Among the possibilities, according to the Minister, are that those in the higher income bracket and tourists would not be eligible for the subsidy. Another criterion being studied currently is a subsidy system that is benchmarked against the engine size of motor vehicles.

Granted, there is now a disparity between petrol and diesel prices in Malaysia and those in neighboring countries such as Thailand and Singapore, but not in Brunei. However, this should not be an issue with a

proper and stringent immigration or check point procedure.

In addition, any argument on the price disparity should also include income disparity.

The new fuel subsidy system should take into account its real objective. On one hand it is to reduce the government’s expenditure where RM10b has been allocated on fuel subsidies in the 2010 Budget, on the other it should not be done in a manner that the rich enjoys the benefits more than the poor.

The new system should not mirror the scheme introduced in June 2008 that spanned for one year, it would not serve the purpose in terms of wealth distribution. Under the scheme, those owning cars below 2,000 cc were entitled to a one-time rebate of RM625 when they renewed their road tax. For those owning cars with 2-litre engines, a RM200 deduction on the road tax payable applied.

Can we assume that those owning motor vehicles of less than 2,000 cc are poorer than those owning cars above that threshold? Definitely not. Just consider these two facts: * A 2.0-litre BMW 320iSE costs

about 2.4 times the price of a 2.5-litre V6 Naza Ria GS (A); * A 1.8-litre Mercedes Benz E200 costs about both Honda Accord 2.4 and Toyota Camry 2.4 combined!

There are many more examples that can be listed. In addition, the rich normally have more than one car and based on the previous scheme, he was entitled to the rebate to as many cars as he owned so long as the engine capacity was less than 2 litres.

If a new subsidy scheme must be introduced, engine capacity should therefore not be the consideration, as it does not serve the purpose of benefiting the rakyat. There are other ways that can be considered.

One of them is the income bracket of car owners. One may argue it would delay the implementation if this approach is adopted due to the need for data accumulation. But the government has the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) that would be able to provide, not the exact income, but the income range of all who submit their tax returns.

Such an approach would also

12

MSHE_12-13_JustSayIt.indd 12

12/3/09 5:20:14 PM

entice all salaried, non-salaried as well as small-, mediumand big-time entrepreneurs to submit tax returns to IRB, regardless whether they meet the minimum income to be tax payers. Non-submission would only mean that they will not be considered at all for the fuel subsidy scheme.

Exception should however be given to students at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels so long as they do not have income such as those taking full pay leave during their studies.

Each entitled Malaysian should however only be given

a certain maximum litre of fuel per month at subsidized price, and any consumption above the threshold to be determined should be at market rate. The entitlement should also be forfeited once every quarter or half year if it is not fully used. Hence the need to use MyKAD. Such a scheme should also be extended to critical sectors if removal of the current subsidy would result in extreme pressure on inflation. Examples include public transport as well as companies involved in transporting essential goods and services. However, company cars should be excluded as

the companies have already benefited from some corporate tax advantages.

Non-Malaysians whether or not they live in Malaysia as expatriates or diplomats, as well as tourists should not enjoy such a subsidy scheme – they should pay the current rates.

Whatever being introduced April 2010, it should fair to all Malaysians and the economic principles in wealth distribution must be considered. It would be a respectable move if the committee tasked for this study seeks opinions from various parties before submitting its proposal to the Minister.

(From Pg 11) level, we should apply a new strategy.

With a strong rally in FCPO prices, all technical indicators will show strong bullish signals.

Momentum indicators like RSI, Momentum and MACD continue to make new highs and the price stays above the moving averages. However, the price is way above the averages which shows that it is overbought.

The short- to long-term 30- to 90-day moving averages are currently between RM2,240 and RM2,290. It is clear that a correction may soon take place.

A pullback is expected when

prices are overbought. A trading plan to go short may be applied.

The FCPO is expected to move to the support level at the moving averages, especially the short-term 30-day moving average at RM2,290. A stop can be placed above RM2,520.

Therefore, a low-risk trading opportunity can be found when the price is between RM2,470 and RM2,500. To go long, traders should wait until the price finds support at around RM2,300.

Market volatility has slightly increased. The 14-period ATR indicator currently reads 53 points. A stop loss should be put

no less than the ATR to prevent being stopped out too early. A better and safer stop loss is 1.5x the ATR and it should be at least 70 points.

So, if I plan to short at the current price of RM2,470, I should place stop loss at 2,540 points (which is above the RM2,520 resistance level) and have a potential profit of RM170, based on a RM2,300 price target. This provides an average risk-toreward ratio of more than two times. Therefore, going short above the current price level with the same stop loss of 70 points provides a better rewardto-risk ratio.

MAXIMISING A RETURN

M

axis Bhd’s relisting on 19 Nov raised a great deal of interest in the local equities market. “It was the biggest IPO for Bursa Malaysia this year, boosting stock market velocity and breadth in a single stroke,” remarked OSK Research in a report.

Transactions for Maxis shares accounted for almost half of the total transaction value for the entire market on 19 and 20 Nov. On the first trading day, 305.8m Maxis shares worth RM1.6b changed hands.

The significance is not lost on Bursa, as it fast-tracked Maxis’ entry into the FBM KLCI, nudging out Malaysia Airlines. On 20 Nov, Maxis was included in the composite index with an investability weighting of 30% and an implied weightage of 2.84%. It was the 11th largest component of the index.

The investability weighting was surprising low, said OSK. “We had assumed a weighting of 70%. However, there may be some changes in the computation of this weighting in December and Maxis may be an early reflection of these changes,” it added.

For the relisting, Maxis offered 2.25b shares via an offer for sale by its majority shareholders. Institutional investors received a lion’s share of 2.04b (90.7%) shares.

Unlike the previously listed vehicle which included overseas ventures in India and Indonesia, Maxis Communications Bhd (MCB), the new listed entity comprises only Maxis’ domestic mobile businesses. While this deprives investors of long-term revenue potential, it also removes the strain on Maxis’ cash flow which was previously used to fund overseas expansion, OSK said.

Maxis will be a stock that “provides sustainable and

strong dividend yields similar to listed mobile telcos in markets where growth has leveled off,” OSK Research said.

Maxis chief financial officer, Rossana Annizah Ahmad Rashidi was quoted in the press as aiming to pay out 75% of net profit as dividend.

OSK pointed out that Maxis’ dividend policy is among the more aggressive of Malaysian telcos. TM has a two-pronged dividend payout guidance of a minimum RM700m or 90% of earnings, whichever is higher.

Digi has a revised 80% payout target, which translates into respective yields of 7%-8%.

“We expect Maxis and Digi to be pitted alongside each other in rewarding shareholders via generous dividends and potential capital management,” it said.

The Malaysian mobile telecommunications scene is fiercely competitive. Three major 3G operators, namely Celcom, Digi and Maxis, dominate the market with a

14

MSHE_14-15_CD.indd 14

12/3/09 5:21:05 PM

collective 95% market share.

In recent years, mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) have joined the fray but they lack coverage and marketing funds.

OSK projects mobile penetration to reach 109% by end-2009 and rising thereafter to 118% and 122% in 2010 and 2011 respectively.

It also expects subscriber growth to slow from 12% in 2009 to 7% by 2011. “Mobile revenue growth will decelerate to low-to-mid-single digit growth by 2011 from the midto-high single digit growth in 2009,” it added, citing weak subscriber growth and pressure on average revenue per user (ARPU).

The key growth catalyst will come from data and nonvoice revenues, it predicted.

The data revenue market is projected to grow by a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.2% over the next three years, driven by the proliferation of smart phones, higher adoption of wireless broadband and increasing use of mobile Internet. Broadband market penetration is currently below 30%, said OSK. Frost & Sullivan reported mobile data revenue in Malaysia grew from RM1.57b in 2004 to RM4.41b in 2008, at a CAGR of 29.4%. Over the same period, mobile data revenue doubled to represent 25.3% of the overall industry mobile revenue. OSK estimated a CAGR of 25.5% from FY09 to FY12.

Maxis’ overall market share for both prepaid and postpaid

services has been shrinking due to strong competition from Digi and Celcom. “Celcom’s prepaid additions have overtaken Maxis since 3Q08 due to Celcom’s aggressive acquisition campaigns targeted at youths outside the Klang Valley,” OSK noted.

Celcom increased its market share by 4%-points over the last eight quarters at Maxis’ expense, said OSK, gaining ground in the youth and enterprise segments.

Despite voice revenue declining due to competitive tariff and a slowing market, Maxis’ data revenue grew by a CAGR of 29% between FY06 and FY08, due to the adoption of 3G mobile services, mobile Internet and wireless broadband services.

Maxis presently derives about 90% of its revenue from mobile services, with the remainder split between fixed line and international gateway revenues. In FY08, voice and data revenues accounted for 71% and 29% of mobile revenues respectively.

By 1H09, data revenues grew to represent 31.1% of mobile revenue, compared to Celcom’s 2% and Digi’s 19%.

OSK forecasts the proportion of data revenue to widen to 35%-40% over the next two years. “Maxis already has a sizeable proportion of high ARPU for enterprise and data subscribers to support strong growth,” it noted.

Despite being the first to launch wireless mobile broadband in Sept 2006, Maxis failed to capitalize on its first-mover advantage

due to network congestion problems. It also lost subscribers to competitors who offered cheaper packages and bundled modems, OSK noted. Maxis added 31,000 mobile broadband subscribers in 1H09 compared to Celcom’s 192,000.

Competition is also heating up with the emergence of WiMAX broadband services.

Packet One plans to double its subscriber base in the next 12 months with some 700 sites installed nationwide. TM is also due to roll out its highspeed broadband in 1Q10. To mitigate this, Maxis has been continuously upgrading the capacity of its core network and launching more aggressive customer retention initiatives, OSK noted.

Maxis’ management is targeting to double its mobile broadband subscriber base (171,200 as at end-2Q09) by the end of 2009. It recently launched a new campaign – “Something for Everyone” with attractive plans ranging from RM8 per day to RM48 per month.

The telco may also mitigate eroding ARPUs by crossselling voice and data products through bundling packages. Maxis is also eyeing the youth segment (15-24 years old) particularly for data services. The segment represented 18.4% of Malaysia’s total population in 2008.

Mobile operators would do well to target areas where mobile penetration is still low, such as the rural markets in East Malaysia and the east coast.

INVESTORS’ CORNER

compiled : Stephen Chin

Banking on improved performance AMMB Holdings

AMMB Holdings recorded 2Q10 net profit of RM240.2m (+4.4% y-o-y; -7.0% q-o-q), on revenue of RM845.9m (+25.6% y-o-y, -4.8% q-o-q) due to strong loans growth and low rate of non-performing loans (NPL). This brings 1H10 profit to RM498.4m (+15.1% y-o-y).

The q-o-q drop in revenue (4.8%) and net profit (7.0%) was attributed to 1Q’s surge in bond underwriting fees. The six-month 15.1% growth in net profit came from investment banking while income from retail and business banking was stable.

New loans in 2Q were more than double the previous quarter. Loans grew 6.3% in 1H10 from corporate and business segments, especially in bridging loans for mergers and acquisitions, and construction projects.

Gross NPL shrank 3.9% in 2Q10 due to write-offs while the formation of new NPL slowed.

AMMB Holdings (FY Mar 2010) Research dated Forecast EPS 10 (sen) PER 10 (x) Forecast DPS 10 (sen) Div. Yield 10 (%) Call Target price (RM)

Net NPL was 2.19% (down from 2.44% in June 2009).

The improved outlook has prompted Maybank Investment Bank to upgrade its net profit growth forecasts to 9% p.a. The stock continues to offer good exposure to banking sector recovery, it said.

AMMB is proceeding with plans to acquire MAA’s general insurance business for RM180m, but will abort its planned 4.9% acquisition of MAA’s takaful insurance subsidiary. The deal will make AMMB’s 51%-subsidiary, AmG Insurance, one of Malaysia’s largest general insurers.

Malayan Banking

Maybank recorded a 1Q10 net profit of RM881.8m (+54.1% y-o-y; -178.9% q-o-q), on revenue of RM3.2b (+54.1% y-o-y; -4.5% q-o-q). On an annualized basis, the 1Q10 results were 24.9% ahead of market consensus, said OSK. The strong results were due Maybank Investment Bank 18 Nov 2009 32.8 14.8 10.2 2.1 Buy 5.20

Share price as at 30 Nov, 2009: RM4.85

to a 28.7% increase in net interest income; a relatively robust annualized loans growth of 11%; a 130.7% y-o-y jump in non-interest income in tandem with an 807.9% surge in investment and trading income; and a 36% increase in commission fee-based income. Therefore, operating profit grew y-o-y despite a 125.2% y-o-y increase in loan loss provision.

The results were also partially driven by trading gain of almost RM80m from the sale of government securities. This may fall to more normalized levels in subsequent quarters. Maybank also enjoyed a one-off RM25m tax credit at its subsidiary, Bank Internasional Indonesia.

RHB Capital

RHB Capital reported a 3Q09 net profit of RM334.8m (+1.5% y-o-y, +11.0% q-o-q) on revenue of RM922.9m (+6.7% y-o-y, -0.5% q-o-q).

and 8.2% above consensus and its own full-year estimates, respectively. This improved performance stemmed from a write-back of RM63m from excess general provisioning and effective cost containment measures. These helped limit RHB’s increase in operating expenses to just 1.9% y-o-y.

RHB’s underlying core performance remained robust, OSK noted, despite a challenging macro environment.

Pre-provision profits expanded 10.3% y-o-y. On a q-o-q basis, pre-provision profits were 8.6% lower because of 2Q09’s high Islamic income earnings base.

The bank also recorded a 10.0% growth in retail loans, largely on mortgage loans while loans in the corporate business segment grew by a slower 0.8%.

Eastern Pacific Industrial Corp (EPIC)

Despite a lackluster quarter

RHB Capital (FY Dec 2009) Research dated Forecast EPS 09 (sen) PER 09 (x) Forecast DPS 09 (sen) Div. Yield 09 (%) Call Target price (RM)

for the oil & gas sector, EPIC recorded better than expected 9M09 results. According to OSK, EPIC’s 9M09 net profit of RM32.6m (+24.7% y-o-y) on revenue of RM133.9m (-25.5% y-o-y) was 85% of consensus forecasts for the year, and 89% of its own forecasts.

The improved net profit despite a drop in revenue were mainly due to effective cost cutting measures by some of its divisions and a lower effective tax rate due to the recognition of some tax allowances. Nevertheless the lethargy in O&G activities in the quarter is reflected in a 22.1% q-o-q decline in 3Q09 net profit (RM10.8m).

OSK has upgraded EPIC’s FY09-10 earnings forecast by 12% and 13% respectively to reflect its 3Q results. It also anticipated a pick-up in O&G activities with the recent stabilization of crude oil prices to above US$70/barrel.

favored EPIC’s cash cow supply base operations, which was largely unaffected by a slowdown in its 61%-owned Kemaman Port activities and poorer sales at its fabrication and pipe threading operations. Supply base operations accounted for almost 96% of the O&G division’s pre-tax profit. Valuations are also inexpensive on PER and PBV basis, it added.

Maybank IB noted that EPIC is still in negotiations to acquire IJM Corp’s West Wharf port operations to complement its East Wharf port activities, and that EPIC intends to build an offshore fabrication yard in the next 2-3 years. A budget of RM188m in capex has been allocation for the fabrication year and Phase 3 expansion program.

AirAsia

of RM739.7m (+4.5% y-o-y, +12.5% q-o-q). Despite an improvement in revenue for the quarter, AirAsia’s performance was dragged down by weak economic conditions; concerns over the A(H1N1) pandemic; lower average fares; and higher fuel costs.

Seasonally, 3Q is AirAsia’s weakest quarter but “we are surprised by the further contraction in average fares to RM141.60 (-11.5% q-o-q) against the backdrop of escalating fuel costs,” said OSK. The company’s fuel price averaged US$79.30/barrel in 3Q (+30.4% q-o-q).

The drop in average fares suggests that the price undercutting had intensified despite signs of a recovery in the global economy. The continuing uptrend in fuel prices is also a concern as the company’s latest fuel hedging contract only covers approximately 20% of the group’s 4Q requirements, AirAsia (FY Dec 2009) Research dated Forecast EPS 09 (sen) PER 09 (x) Forecast DPS 09 (sen) Div. Yield 09 (%) Call Target price (RM)

OSK added.

Maybank IB said AirAsia has addressed several key concerns by deferring the delivery of 16 out of 45 new aircraft scheduled for 2010-11; raising RM505m from a 16% private placement; and seeking a dual listing in Thailand to raise equity.

The airline is currently in discussions with lead arranger CIMB Group to work out its listing details. The exercise could see a separate listing of Thai AirAsia or a merger by injecting Thai AirAsia into AirAsia.

“A merger would eventually rationalize the current RM438m in inter-company dues Thai AirAsia owes AirAsia,” Maybank IB said.

OSK said it believed the exercise would be a secondary listing without involving any changes to the existing group structure. In some instances, a dual listing may improve a Maybank Investment Bank 20 Nov 2009 21.0 6.1 0.0 0.0 Hold 1.35

company’s valuation if it is in a market that offers significantly higher valuation than its primary listed market. However, OSK noted that Thai Airways International is trading at only 16.1x FY09 and 6.9x FY10 EPS, which does not reflect a significant premium to Bursa Malaysia’s valuation.

“We think a direct listing of the Thai unit may be a better option,” OSK said. AirAsia owns 49% of Thai AirAsia and has thus been funding the purchase of the latter’s aircraft, which resulted in the group’s high gearing level. A direct listing would enable the Thai unit to independently secure its own financing in the future, it said.

The only major hurdle for this type of listing is Thai AirAsia’s lack of a profit record, as it is still in the red although management is confident of turning it around by the end of this fiscal year.

Christmas

Comes Early For CapitaMalls Asia

D

on’t tell anyb o d y, S a n t a Claus dropped by town last week, descending from his anachronistic transport onto Robinson Point, headquarters of CapitaMalls Asia (CapitaMalls).

Priced at $2.12 apiece or 1.55x P/BV, the initial public offering (IPO) of CapitaMalls attracted a great deal of pentup demand from retail and institutional investors alike.

According to CapitaLand President and Chief Executive Liew Mun Leong, demand for the IPO was robust with US and European institutional investors clamouring for a slice of the pie.

Assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised, net proceeds from the offering is expected to be $2.4b, making it Singapore’s largest IPO since the listing of SingTel. As at press time, the public tranche of the IPO was subscribed nearly 5 times.

The pure-play shopping mall company, one of the largest in Asia, will have a total of 59 completed retail properties in 2009 and 86 retail properties by the end of 2012, estimated to be worth $20.3b.

The principal strategy for CapitaMalls is to invest and manage a portfolio of real estate assets used for retail purpose in Asia. Operations

are carried out through 2 segments, the property business whereby the company invests in properties through direct ownership, REITs, joint-ventures and private real estate funds and the management segment consisting of fund and mall management.

Upon listing, CapitaLand will retain 65.5% to 70% of CapitaMalls, allowing the latter to access the former’s expertise as well as wide business network.

String Of Pearls

Spanning 48 cities in the countries of Singapore, Malaysia, China, Japan and India, CapitaMalls’ portfolio is diverse geographically and

CapitaMalls Asia’s financial highlights

holds immense potential for development.

Insofar, Singapore with relatively low average retail space per capita (compared to developed economies) is expected to be the anchor market of the company. In time to come, however, top line growth will be fueled by the China and India card.

Initially, CapitaMalls will focus on the Middle Kingdom, accelerating development of malls and actively seeking out opportunities for expansion.

Aggressive expansion ahead

By December 2009, CapitaMalls will have 32 properties in China as compared to 16 in Singapore. In the year 2012, 58% of the company’s property will be in China.

Such aggressive expansion could easily heighten risk for the company. China’s Rmb4 trillion stimulus package has lifted the economic performance of the country and there are valid concerns of a future downturn following the unwinding of the package. In such a scenario, the bursting of the bubble could drag earnings and in turn dividend payouts.

FY08 dividend was $0.107 a share.

Investors looking for a safe income play could park their money in CapitaMall Trust or other Singaporecentric REITs such as Suntec REIT. For those seeking credible growth, then CapitaMalls is a better option.

Growing From Strength To Strength

During the 3 years, FY06 to FY08, CapitaMalls’ top line grew at a CAGR of 44.6%.

Nonetheless, FY08’s bottom line was hit by a 48% increase in finance costs, owing to the impact of additional borrowings from CapitaLand in 4Q07 and 2Q08 for financing investment in CapitaRetail China Trust and the China Incubator Fund among other funds.

On an EBIT basis, Singapore accounted for the lion share (53.3%) followed by China (28%). For reasons discussed above, China is expected to be the main revenue driver in the future.

9M09 was another bumper period for CapitaMalls. Turnover rose marginally 5.1% to $206.3m as compared to $196.3m in the corresponding period. But the bottom line surged to $244.5m boosted by a 112% increase in contributions from associates and jointly-controlled entities.

Undoubtedly, the floatation of CapitaMalls is a much-needed boost for the local equity market in a year where notable listing is a rarity. Investors are advised to examine their portfolio and risk-return profile to assess the suitability of taking a stake in the company.
