——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Water Treatment & Services - Water runs dry

We are negatively surprised by the new developments in the water industry, which suggest further delays in Puncak Niaga's RM1.6bn water deal and in the sale of Gamuda's 40%-owned Splash. The near-term outlook has become less attractive until the Selangor state and federal governments sort out the water asset transfer issues. We were too optimistic about an amicable solution and are disappointed about the lack of details. Although we do not believe the water restructuring plan will fail completely, we are now more cautious about timing. Due to delay risks, we downgrade the water sector to Neutral and Puncak Niaga from Add to Hold. We maintain Add on Gamuda as its construction outlook overshadows the overhang on the water asset sale.

Puncak Niaga Holdings - Risk to 37% special dividend

A statement by the Selangor MB that Puncak's RM1.6bn water asset sale is void due to the asset transfer issues between the state and federal governments caught us by surprise. We are disappointed about this turn of events as Puncak's deal is the most advanced among all the concessionaires. We believe the RM1/share special dividend (37% yield) from the cash proceeds that was expected to be realised this year is now at risk due to likely delays. Puncak remains keen to exit its water business but its fate now rests on an amicable resolution between both sides of the government. We retain our EPS forecasts but cut our target price as we raise our SOP discount from 20% to 40%. Due to near-term uncertainties, we downgrade from Add to Hold.

Berjaya Food Berhad - No thanks to weak spending

BFood’s 9MFY15 earnings were below expectations at 61.4% of our and 58.5% of consensus full-year forecasts, mainly due to the slower-than-expected SSSG from (KRR) and Starbucks Malaysia. 9MFY15 revenue expanded, driven by the full consolidation of Starbucks Malaysia while profit growth was slower due to poor sales and higher finance cost. We cut our FY15-17 earnings forecasts to factor in the slower performance from all businesses. This reduces our target price (still based on 23.7x CY16 P/E). We downgrade the stock from Hold to Add. Despite the weak results, BFood declared a second interim DPS of 1.25 sen (it did not declare any second interim dividend last year), bringing YTD DPS to 3.75 sen, above our expectation. We prefer QL due to its more resilient earnings and good earnings delivery track record.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M) which will be financed through the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), will be able to ease the burden of cost of living of the beneficiaries.

He said 7.2 million applications for BR1M had been approved thus far.

The soon-to-be-implemented Goods and Services Tax (GST) will not affect the Inland Revenue Board's forecast tax collection of RM142.6bn for this year as it has already been factored in.

The reduction in income tax, as well as, corporate tax, as announced in the 2015 Budget, would also not impact IRB's total tax collection, says Chief Executive Officer Tan Sri Dr Mohd Shukor Mahfar.

Last year, tax collection by the IRB rose 3.59% to RM133.7bn.

Dr Mohd Shukor also said tax collection for 2015 would be challenging against the backdrop of uncertain crude oil prices. (Bernama)

The Auditor-General's Department has started its audit on 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) following orders from the Cabinet to scrutinise the state-owned investment arm's accounts last week.

Auditor-General Tan Sri Ambrin Buang said the department will gather as much information as possible in an independent and professional manner, including calling up Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak (who is 1MDB advisory board chairman) if necessary.

"The audit will be done transparently and professionally," he said. However, he was unable to say how long it would take to conduct the audit and submit the full report to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). (The Sun)

Iskandar Malaysia secured RM26.77bn in new investments last year, bringing the total cumulative committed amount to RM158.3bn since 2006. In 2013, the new investments were RM25.05bn.

Iskandar Regional Development Authority chief executive, Datuk Ismail Ibrahim, said of the total, RM77.07bn, or 49%, represented investments that had been realised.

He said the figure showed that Iskandar Malaysia continued to do well despite the challenges facing the global economy. "It also shows the confidence in Iskandar Malaysia, especially among local investors, with domestic investments making up RM101.14bn, or 64%, of the total cumulative committed investments to date," he said. Of the total cumulative committed investments, 36%, or RM56.99bn, came from foreign investors, he said.

With such huge investments, he said, they would bring ample business opportunities for entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises as well as creating more jobs. In 2014 alone, a total of 651,536 jobs have been created in Johor from various sectors in Iskandar Malaysia including manufacturing, hospitality, food and beverage, and education, he said. (Bernama)

The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) will host a trade fair and six halal industry conferences under one roof this year, offering the largest ever and well-integrated expositions to unite the global halal marketplace.

Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan has urged local businesses to take creative steps to absorb the cost of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which takes into effect in Apr, including by giving rebates and discounts. He said such measures, if properly implemented, could generate long-term profits for the companies. (Bernama)

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) will have a minimal impact on the local hotel industry but teething problems are, nevertheless, expected when the new tax regime is implemented on 1 Apr, Malaysian Association of Hotels President Samuel Cheah Swee Hee said.

He also said the association was still awaiting clarification from the government to waive payment of the GST for customers doing advanced hotel bookings. He said it was unfair for customers to pay the GST upfront as a refund, in the case of a cancellation, would be cumbersome. (Bernama)

The Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry (KPDNKK) announced that the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) remains at RM26.60 per 14 kg cylinder.

Its secretary-general Datuk Seri Alias Ahmad said the decision to maintain the price was taken by the National Economic Council.
