This was principally due to a lack of pickup in 3Q non-interest income (-3% QoQ, 28% YoY), partly cushioned by lower-than-expected 9M credit cost of 16bps (annualised) vs our earlier 30bps forecast. Results highlights. 3Q14 positives were: i) net interest income chalked up healthy growth (+3% QoQ, +6% YoY) as loan growth picked up pace, and ii) credit cost stayed low at 7bps (annualised) despite the deterioration in asset quality. Otherwise: i) 3Q14 net interest margin (NIM) was flat QoQ (-13bps YoY) as higher average funding cost offset a mild expansion in asset yield, ii) non-interest income remained soft (-3% QoQ, -28% YoY) due to unrealised marked-to-market losses and lower forex income, iii) cost-to-income ratio deteriorated to 50.3% (2Q14: 46.6%; 3Q13: 46.1%) post-cost compression in 2Q14, and iv) absolute gross impaired loans jumped 14% QoQ (+3% YoY) due to a chunky corporate loan related to the construction sector. However, as the loan was collateralised, credit charge for the quarter stayed low. Thus, the gross impaired loan ratio rose 15bps QoQ to 1.65% while loan loss coverage dropped to 95.4% from 107.7% at end-2Q14. Loan and deposit growth. Loan growth picked up pace (3Q14: +3% QoQ vs 2Q14: +2% QoQ), thanks to domestic corporate and international - other markets. Annualised loan growth of 10% was still below the 14% target. Deposit growth was 3% QoQ (11% annualised). Capital. As at end-September, fully-loaded group and bank common equity tier 1 (CET-1) ratios were 10.6% (June: 10.7%) and 9.5% (June: 9.6%) respectively. Forecasts and investment case. We reduce our FY14/FY15 net profit projections by 5%/9% respectively, mainly on account of lower noninterest income projections. Our FY14F ROE of 13.2% is in line with the revised 2014 ROE target of 13-14%. We lower our GGM-derived TP by 8% to MYR10.20 (from MYR11.00). Downgrade to NEUTRAL from Buy.

Padini Holdings¶ (Padini) 1QFY15 sales improved slightly by 4.4% YoY, as better sales from both Padini Concept Stores (PCS) and Brands Outlet (BO) stores were partly offset by declines in other sales channels (ie consignment and wholesale). Meanwhile, EBITDA decreased 24% YoY to MYR34.0m as its overall margin came in lower at 12.0% (-610bps YoY), mainly due to higher operating expenses and aggressive promotions and discounts. Overall, 1QFY15 net profit fell 30.5% YoY due to the weaker margin. Compared to 4QFY14, 1QFY15 revenue and core earnings improved by 15.7% and 40.9% respectively due to Hari Raya festivities in July. Declares interim dividend. The company declared its second interim DPS of 2.5 sen for FYE2015, bringing its total DPS declared YTD to 5.0 sen. This is in line with our estimates, as we expect Padini to continue to reward its shareholders via dividends. Moving forward, we forecast a dividend payout of 65-70%, translating into a net dividend yield of 5.46.4%. Forecasts and risks. We believe the retail industry may continue to face challenges from weak consumer sentiment. Hence, we revise down our FY15 earnings forecast by 6.5%. We also take the opportunity to introduce our FY17 numbers. Key risks include weaker consumer sentiment and the emergence of new competitors within the retail landscape. Maintain NEUTRAL. Although we continue to like Padini for its attractive dividend yield, we are turning cautious in view of the earnings disappointment and the somber retail landscape. Hence we maintain NEUTRAL on the stock, with our TP trimmed to MYR1.90 (from MYR2.03), based on 14x FY15 EPS.

Its 1HFY15 EBIT margin also improved to 40% from 26% in 1HFY14. Interim single-tier dividend of 7 sen. The company has proposed an interim single-tier dividend of 7 sen (1HFY14: 5.25 sen per share) to reward its shareholders. Maintain BUY with TP of MYR5.00. We continue to like SHL for its: i) prudent management, ii) greater earnings visibility, with the MYR1.5bn GDV Goodview Heights project set to be its next earnings driver, iii) higher margins arising from lower land cost and better cost control, as it supplies its own clay bricks and granites, and iv) strong balance sheet with total net cash of MYR267m as at end-Sep 2014 ± which allows it to adopt the build-then-sell (BTS) model. We expect a strong 3-year net earnings CAGR of 31.7% for FY13-15F. We are maintaining our BUY call on SHL with an unchanged TP of MYR5.00, pegged to a FY15F P/E of 20x. With total net cash of MYR267m in hand, equivalent to 30% of its total market capitalisation of MYR879m, we believe the company justifies our valuation of FY15F ex-net cash P/E of 10x.

APM $XWRPRWLYH¶V (APM) earnings disappointed for a third consecutive quarter. 9M14 earnings of MYR73.7m only reached 62% and 59% of our and street estimates respectively. Recurring net profit declined 17% YoY excluding a nonrecurring gain in 3Q13 arising from the divestment of a 25% stake in an overseas associate. The deviation in earnings is due to weaker margins on the back of lower revenue. No dividend was declared for the quarter. Price pressure and lower volumes hit revenue. 9M14 revenue of MYR940.0m was flat YoY. 3Q14 revenue, however, declined 14.1% QoQ and 11.3% YoY due to lower original equipment manufacturing (OEM) sales volumes. Total industry production (TIP) for the quarter contracted 17.7% QoQ and 8.3% YoY, while cumulatively TIP rose 2.5% YoY. This was exacerbated by the slow production ramp-up of the Proton Iriz in addition to the 17.6% YoY decline in Nissan sales at sister company Tan Chong (TCM MK, SELL, TP: MYR3.55). Other than improved revenue (+3.8% YoY) from suspension products, APM recorded weaker sales across other product lines. Overseas sales improved during the quarter, likely due to the maiden consolidation of the newly-acquired McConnell Seats Australia on 1 Aug. Risks and forecasts. Risks include higher industry sales and production volumes, a quicker breakthrough into overseas markets and higher margins from a weaker JPY. We lower our earnings estimates by 13.2% and 13.5% for 2014 and 2015 respectively after updating our margin assumptions. We also introduce our 2016 forecasts. Downgrade to SELL. We downgrade our call on the stock to SELL (from Neutral) and cut our TP to MYR4.75 (from MYR5.80) after ascribing a lower 8.5x target P/E (from 9x) to 2015 earnings. APM trades at a prospective 2015 P/E of 9.6x despite pedestrian earnings growth of 6.1%. The 3.3% dividend yield is not compelling. The intense pricing pressure means FX-derived gains from a weaker JPY will likely be passed through to customers.

Demand remains intact amid the higher-cost environment. The outlook of the construction sector remains promising as projects with long-gestation periods, such as the mass rapid transit (MRT) project and various highways and other infrastructure developments, would likely continue to support the demand for all its related materials. We expect OKA to continue to do well. In the meantime, the company is trying to diversify its products, introduce product differentiation, improve on its existing products and implement cost-saving exercises to maintain its competitiveness in the industry. Maintain BUY, with a MYR1.13 TP. The fundamentals of the company remain intact.

Malaysian Bulk¶VHDUQLQJVFDPHLQEHORZRXU and consensus estimates, reporting 9M14 core earnings of only MYR11.2m (YTD: -54.5%) vs our full-year forecast of MYR57m. Of this, MYR46.9m (YTD: +5.2%) alone was contributed by joint-ventures (JVs) and associates, notably PACC Offshore (POSH SP, NR). Malaysian Bulk¶V FKDUWHU UDWHs remained weak QoQ (-27.6%) and YoY (-28%). Aside from its weak topline, the added capacity (as hiring days increased by 9.4% YTD and 6.3% QoQ) also incurred upfront cost of deployment in 3Q14. This dragged its dry bulk and tanker division into losses in the quarter under review after briefly turning profitable in 2Q14. A tough outlook ahead. The current seasonal pick-up reflected in the Baltic Dry Index in 4Q14 is expected to improve earnings briefly for the company, but we caution that the volatility in freight rates will continue to persist and could likely repeat another set of underperformance as it did in 1H14. Dry bulk vessel asset prices are starting to come off from their peak this year (seen in mid-2014) on concerns of oversupply building up again as demolition activities dissipate. This may be on the market being over-optimistic on the dry bulk outlook earlier. Increased Brazil to China exports and higher coal import demand from India (after cancellations of local mining licenses created coal shortage) should still underpin the near-term demand for dry bulk shipping activities. Forecasts. FY14/FY15/FY16 earnings trimmed by 44%/37%/35% as we cut topline by 8%/16%/16% respectively on the lower freight rate assumptions. We now forecast for Malaysian BXON¶V FY14/FY15/FY16 dry bulk charter rates to increase by 1%/10%/5% from 15%/25%/5% earlier respectively. Downgrade to NEUTRAL (from Buy). As now we expect the shipping division to remain in losses next year, we therefore shift our valuation methodology from an SOP-based TP of MYR2.00 to RNAV, which would reflect its fleet value and the market cap share it owns in PACC Offshore. Our RNAV-derived TP is MYR1.30 and, with a 7.1% downside, we downgrade our call to NEUTRAL.

Core earnings came in at MYR147.3m (+58.7% YoY), below our expectation but in line with consensus, at 70% and 74% of full year estimates respectively, as we had overestimated the amount of work orders that it would receive this year. Outstanding orderbook of MYR4.2bn. Dayang currently has call-out contracts from its HuCC/TSM contracts worth MYR4.2bn, which will keep the company busy until 2018. It has an outstanding tenderbook of MYR800m which we believe is related to an enhanced oil recovery off the coast of Sarawak. Recall that Dayang did a private placement which raised MYR175.6m, the proceeds of which were utilised to increase its stake in Perdana Petroleum (PETR MK, BUY, TP: MYR1.62), which currently stands at 28.6%, and also to ramp up its capacity for engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) jobs.

Maintain NEUTRAL We maintain our NEUTRAL call on the stock but cut our SOP-derived TP to MYR11.00 (from MYR12.40) mainly to reflect the recent de-rating of the O&G sector after the plunge in crude oil prices (see Figure 5). We see few re-rating catalysts for the stock, with modest growth expected at its key automotive division.

This is because we expect volume to pick up coming into 4Q14 to make up the 9M14 shortfall. Higher-than-expected depreciation was also incurred in 3Q14, likely from the recent completion of its newly-installed unloaders. Outlook. Volume handled has started to pick up at the Lekir Bulk Terminal, ie up 20.6% QoQ and 12.7% YoY, and is expected to see a further boost as the M4 power plant commences in Mar 2015. We expect throughputs to grow by 44% in FY15. Forecasts. On the higher-than-expected depreciation incurred for 9M14, we have adjusted upwards our deprecation forecasts. But we have also raised our throughput handled slightly, as we expect 4Q14 to see a stronger pick-up. This impact ought to offset the upward adjustments on depreciation. All in, there is only a marginal change on our earnings estimates. Developments. Negotiations with potential new customers remain ongoing. As it is, Integrax has only one customer, Tenaga Nasional (TNB MK, BUY, TP: MYR15.50). We have only factored in the national utility firm as the only customer in our estimates. Any additional customers would be a boost to earnings. Maintain NEUTRAL. We maintain our NEUTRAL call with our DCFderived TP unchanged at MYR2.28, based on a cost of equity of 10.5% on its projected free cash flow to equity. Our TP gives an implied FY15F P/E of 12x.

Forecasts. As the results were in line, we make no changes to our FY15 earnings forecast. In view of intensified competition among the F&B operators as well as in the FMCG market, we trim our FY16 earnings forecast by 6.3% after updating our sales and margin assumptions. We also take the opportunity to introduce our FY17 projection.

While 3Q14 revenue grew a commendable 10% QoQ, EBITDA fell 7% from higher staff cost for managed services works locally. Awaiting the USP award. Despite the close of the tender exercise in 2Q14, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has yet to award the first phase of the Timeline 3 (T3) Universal Service Provisioning (USP) contract for the construction of 1,000 telco sites in rural areas. We expect OCK to clinch a portion of the USP contract, being a front-runner for the project and its good execution track record in tower construction. LTE contract. We gather from management that it recently bagged a sizeable frame contract from a local telco for the installation of 1,000 LTE sites, commencing in 1Q15. The contract is expected to drive the strong FY14-16 revenue CAGR of 43% anticipated from telco network services. Forecast. Our earnings forecast remains unchanged.

Our TP is unchanged at MYR1.06, the TP prior to the MYR1.59 ex-bonus, which is pegged to 18.5x FY15F EPS. This still offers a more than 10% upside from the current level.

The YoY decline in earnings was mainly attributed to the lack of developed land sales in 9M14. Finance cost during the quarter was also higher due to the uncapitalised sukuk interest. 3Q sales still sluggish. New property sales achieved MYR202m in 3Q, down from MYR316m in 2Q, mainly contributed by Residensi 22 and Arcoris. Although 9M total was only MYR641m, we believe the company will be able to hit its MYR2bn sales target. The Aurora Melbourne Central project (GDV: MYR2.2bn) was very well received with 95% booking out of the 941 units launched. This should rake in close to MYR1.5bn sales in 4Q14-1Q15, as the signing of sales and purchase agreements are now taking place. The remaining portion that has not been launched, comprising some retail and a block of serviced apartment, is planned for en bloc sale. Management is currently negotiating with interested parties. Forecasts. We maintain our earnings forecasts. We think numbers will likely come in stronger in 4Q, potentially making up half of full-year earnings, as management expects the land sales to KL Kepong (KLK MK, NEUTRAL, TP:MYR20.70), and Fastrack Iskandar SB (for Motorsport City land) to be completed in December, and hence net gain of about MYR250m can be recognised in 4Q. Meanwhile, unbilled sales stayed resilient at MYR4bn in 3Q14 (vs MYR4.22bn in 2Q14). Maintain TRADING BUY. As we expect the operating environment to be more challenging next year with the kicking in of GST in 2Q15, we lower our TP to MYR2.16 (from MYR2.52) with a larger 40% (from 30%) discount to RNAV. However, we will not discount the possibilities that over the medium term, the State Government may look to loosen up some cooling measures to help revive the sentiment on the Iskandar housing market. We thus retain our TRADING BUY call.

A weak quarter had been anticipated due to the belated resolution of its Vietnam customs dispute in August, resulting in additional time needed for its Danang plant to resume production and for channel inventories to be restocked. Furthermore, losses were compounded by another inventory provision of USD4.55m at its 74%owned Nissan Vietnam (NVL). Domestic sales stabilise. Sales of Nissan vehicles stabilised during the quarter with a modest 3.7% QoQ improvement, although cumulative sales for 9M14 were still down 17.6% YoY. This was achieved after margins were sacrificed to sustain market share and to trim inventory levels. 4Q14 earnings should see sequential improvements from higher Nissan sales volume helped by the recently-launched complete knockdown (CKD) Nissan Serena Hybrid, although margins will likely remain under pressure in a competitive market place. Risks and forecasts. The main risks are stronger sales and better margins from a weaker JPY. We trim our recurring earnings estimates by 9.7% and 8.5% for 2014 and 2015 respectively after updating our assumptions. We also introduce our 2016 earnings forecasts. 2015 likely to remain challenging. We expect another tough year for TCM in 2015. The impending launch of the new X-Trail SUV will be a boost, but Nissan may continue to lag behind in the market due to the absence of a fresh and competitive volume seller in the B-segment. TCM will also have to re-build the Indo-China business. With forward P/Es still looking stretched, we maintain our SELL call with a lower TP of MYR3.55 (from MYR3.90), derived from applying an unchanged 11.5x target P/E to 2015 earnings.

The positives are: i) above-industry loans growth, ii) net interest margin (NIM) expanded by an estimated 12bps QoQ (1bp YoY) with average asset yield up 17bps QoQ (+11bps YoY) following the OPR hike, iii) non-interest income (ex-disposal gain) rose 12% QoQ/33% YoY on the back of stronger fee income, and iv) more loan impairment writebacks due to higher recoveries. On the flipside, overheads rose 7% QoQ/11% YoY with staff costs exerting upward pressure. Loan and deposit growth. Gross loans expanded 3.8% QoQ/14.9% YoY while annualised growth of 14% was ahead of the 10-11% target.

Nonetheless, we note that revenue declined 3% sequentially due to the lumpy recognition of global bandwidth sales (2Q14: MYR21m vs 3Q14: MYR13.6m). 3Q14 EBITDA margin improved to 42.3% (2Q14: 37.4%) due to the higher revenue and reversal. Excluding the reversal, 3Q14 normalised EBITDA would be 35.1%, slightly lower QoQ. Expanding its presence. On 18 Nov, Time announced that it is proposing to purchase a 3.1-acre land parcel in Dengkil, Sepang. Total consideration for the land is MYR15.0m, which will be funded internally. The land will provide Time with the ability to build a new data centre. Given its proximity to Cyberjaya, we are positive on the prospects of the new data centre. However, we believe that it will be some time before the new data centre is operational, and as such it is unlikely to have an impact on our present earnings forecasts. Forecasts. We make no changes to our FY14-15 earnings forecasts, pending a briefing later. However, we take this opportunity to introduce our FY16 figures. Maintain NEUTRAL. We maintain our DCF-derived TP of MYR5.20. We still like Time as a direct play to strong demand for international bandwidth. We see M&As as a potential re-rating catalyst that management is still exploring, but there is a lack of clarity on when this may materialise. This report marks transfer of coverage to Alia Arwina.

In line. 4XLOO &DSLWD 7UXVW¶V 4&7 4 QHW SURILW of MYR8.9m was in line at 72%/71% of our/consensus full-year forecasts. 9M earnings growth continued to remain flattish due to the persistently soft office rental market, while higher repair and maintenance costs squeezed net property income margins slightly to 76.7% (9M13: 77.7%). No dividends were announced in 3Q14, given its semi-annual distribution policy. Renewals remained decent, as 13% of the 31% total NLA due for expiry this year has been renewed. The remainder will likely be renewed in 4Q. However, we note that more than 80% of its NLA is single-tenanted, thus making QCT somewhat vulnerable to future vacancy risks. Its gearing ratio remained at 36%. Slight delay in Platinum Sentral’s (PS) acquisition. The acquisition of PS from Malaysian Resources Corp (MRCB) (MRC MK, BUY, TP: MYR2.05), which was initially targeted to be completed in 3Q14, is now likely to be delayed into early 1Q15. This is mainly due to some delays in obtaining approvals from the Securities Commission.

EBIT plunged 41.0% YoY to MYR18.6m as margin dipped 650bps to 29.8%. All in, 9M14 core earnings slipped 41.1% YoY to MYR18.5m, falling short of expectations. 3Q14 numbers were generally weaker both QoQ and YoY. That said, management declared a generous third interim DPS of 1.0 sen, which translates into a payout ratio of close to 100% for the quarter. 9M14 DPS totalled 3.7 sen at an implied payout ratio of 96.6%. Other highlights. On a brighter note, management announced that it has received a Letter of Intent from Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) to potentially acquire a 30% interest in Prestariang Education SB, which owns University Malaysia of Computer Science & Engineering (UniMy). We laud the potential partnership, which we deem crucial to boost its enrollment numbers (estimated 80 students currently) in order to help the university to return to the black by 2015. We note that UniMy incurred losses of MYR5.0m for 9M14 and MYR1.6m for 3Q14. Forecasts and risks. Taking into account the earnings disappointment, we cut our FY14 EPS by 19.6%. We also revise down our FY15-16 EPS by 0.2-1.5% as we update our model for housekeeping purposes.
