QL Resources - A visit to QL Kota Kinabalu

Last week, we visited QL’s marine plant and poultry farm in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, where the company raises broiler chickens and produces surimi, fishmeal and frozen fish. We found the highly automated plant to be clean and well organised. We raise our FY16-17 EPS forecasts, mainly to factor in a stronger US$ vs. RM, lower raw material costs and new contributions from recent acquisition KSSB. Our target price (based on an unchanged consumer average of 23x CY16 P/E) is raised accordingly. We maintain our Add call. Rerating catalysts include expansion plans and investors’ preference for resilient stocks as consumer spending weakens. QL remains our top sector pick.

Construction - Shock waves to highway jobs?

A press article stated that the Selangor state government is looking to review all federal government-initiated new highway jobs in the state. This is unexpected but not hugely negative for the sector as highway jobs comprise less than 15% of total outstanding works of RM150bn, and account for a minimal share of the tender book of most contractors under our coverage. The biggest loser by our estimates would be Mudajaya. The rest are not heavily exposed to highways that are likely to be at risk. Maintain Overweight. Gamuda, which has zero exposure to highways, remains our top big cap pick. Muhibbah Engineering, which is keen to pursue packages from the awarded and approved WCE, is still our preferred small/mid-cap pick.

Economic Update - BNM 2014 Annual Report – Cruising over the bumps

Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) holds a cautious view on growth amid the challenging external environment. Still, BNM maintained a positive and steady growth outlook of 4.5-5.5% (CIMB: 5.0%) in 2015, mainly anchored by domestic demand while net export contributions are expected to turn negative. Despite the guarded external outlook and highly volatile capital flows, we concur with BNM’s assessment that Malaysia will be cushioned by a well-diversified economy, favourable labour market conditions, deeper and more matured financial markets, a strong banking system, ample reserves and a flexible currency.

Economic Update - Jan IPI growth slows

Growth of the Industrial Production Index (IPI) moderated to 7.0% yoy in Jan (vs. +7.4% in Dec), below our expectations (+8.4%) and in line with consensus (+7.0%). The moderation was due to slower manufacturing output but supported by stronger mining and electricity production. This month’s IPI growth suggest that GDP growth for 1Q15 remains on steady footing, supported by manufacturing production, especially the E&E sector as well as the implementation of mega infrastructure development projects. Mining output should also continue to grow amid efforts to ramp up production of oil and gas from selected fields.

Australia’s unemployment rate fell to a seasonally adjusted 6.3% in Feb (6.4% in Jan). The number of people employed rose by 15,600 in Feb (-14,600 in Jan).

The Bank of Korea (BOK) lowered its seven-day repurchase rate from 2.00% to an all-time low of 1.75%.

BOK Governor Lee Ju Yeol said the central bank “decided to act preemptively” amid weaker-than expected economic data. “The 2.00% rate wasn’t constraining economic activity and the 25 bp cut will support recovery,” he said.

He added that it takes about two quarters for rate cuts to affect spending, and said that he couldn’t tell if there was room for a further cut. (Bloomberg)

Taiwan’s central bank Governor Perng Fai-nan said the island doesn’t have to follow US monetary policy, sparking speculation interest-rate increases will be kept on hold. The central bank has held its benchmark rate at 1.875% since Jun 2011, a period in which inflation averaged 1.2%. (Bloomberg)

The economy will remain resilient this year, said Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) Deputy Governor Dr Sukudhew Singh, but cautioned that it needs to watch out for the challenges. Managing the risks related to possible destabilising global financial development was the top challenge facing the Malaysian economy, he said.

Sukudhew said the other prevailing challenges were weak oil and commodity prices, addressing fiscal concerns, further enhancing export competitiveness and export growth, attracting more high quality investment and increasing higher income employment opportunities. "There are a lot of risks out there that we need to be watching out for.

"Given that we can't do anything with what is going to happen outside the country, and we also can't withdraw from the global economy and the financial system, what we should do is to ensure our fundamentals, through the fiscal policy, remain strong," he said. (Bernama)

The Finance Ministry issued a statement stressing that the federal government debt position remained manageable with Malaysia categorised as a country with moderate indebtedness.

“At the end of 2014, total federal government debt domestic and offshore, amounted to RM582.8bn or 54.5% of the gross domestic product (GDP). Of these, 97.1% or RM566.1bn is domestic debt, while the remaining RM16.8bn or 2.9% is offshore debt.

According to the statement, Malaysia's external debt position is calculated based on a new definition, encompassing offshore borrowings by the federal government, public enterprises and the private sector; and holdings of debt securities, deposits and loans denominated trading by non-residents (foreign holders).

The redefinition was in accordance with standard conventions of the International Monetary Fund. It said at the end of 2014, total external debt stood at RM744.7bn or 69.6% of GDP. In 2013, external debt recorded was RM696.6bn or 70.6% of GDP. It said although the total external debt increased moderately by 6.9%, it was lower as a percentage of GDP than in 2013. (Malaysian Insider)

The intra-Asean trade which has been on an increasing trend over the years is expected to surpass the global average by 2% to 3% this year, said Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed. "Over the years we have seen a gradual increase in intra-Asean trade and investment. We had started with about 10% intra-Asean trade 20 years ago, and now it is about 24% to 25%, which is a big jump in terms of the intra-Asean trade," he said. (Sun)

Malaysia’s ultra rich who have a net worth of at least US$30m (RM110m) are increasingly moving their investments, and their families, out of the country, according to the latest report by property firm Knight Frank. In its 2015 Wealth Report on the habits of ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNWIs), the London-based consultancy noted that while the wealth of the world’s richest grew by 3.1% last year, those in oil-producing Malaysia only enjoyed a 2.7% rise.

Nicholas Holt, Knight Frank’s head of research for Asia-Pacific, attributed the drop in the wealth of Malaysians as largely due to the weakened value of the ringgit and the falling prices of oil worldwide. (Malay Mail)

The United States of America aims an 8% increase in the number of Malaysians travelling to the country annually, following its first participation in the consumer travel show the Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (MATTA) Fair. Edgard D. Kagan, US Embassy Acting Ambassador in Malaysia, said nearly 82,000 Malaysians visited the US in 2014, up 7.5% over 2013.

Political News

Low Taek Jho, chief executive officer of Jynwel Capital, a Hong Kong investment advisory company, has denied all allegations of money laundering and fraud against him, claiming they are politically motivated, in a saga that analysts say could erupt into potentially Malaysia's biggest financial scandal since the 1990s.

"I feel I'm a victim of the cross-fire of Malaysian politics, which is getting more polarised. I'm a target," Low said from his office in Hong Kong.

"Business decisions by 1MDB are ultimately decided and approved in accordance to their corporate governance framework, which is the management, board and shareholder. So why politicise and try to blame it all on me when I have no decision-making authority?" he said.

"If the Malaysian authorities ask me to assist with their investigations, I'm happy to cooperate. I've nothing to hide. I believe in the rule of law. As of today, I'm not under investigation. I've never done anything illegal," Low said. (SCMP)

DAP remains unhappy after finally having a look at PAS' proposed amendments to the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code yesterday. It has asked the three state executive councillors who presented it to "come back with different amendments".

DAP National Legal Bureau chairperson Gobind Singh Deo (left) said DAP considered the changes to be "way above amendments" and was "substantially a new bill." "We have asked them to go back and return with a new set of amendments and we will take it from there," he said.

PAS plans to table the proposed amendments at the Kelantan state assembly on Mar 18, as part of its larger plan to implement hudud in the state, which will later include a private member's bill on hudud in Parliament. The Kelantan PAS government finally presented its proposed amendments during a Pakatan leadership meeting in Parliament yesterday.

PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said that the meeting was a "very good one" and "was very well discussed." "We made our views known," she said. She refused to comment on whether Pakatan had managed to agree on a resolution on the hudud issue, which continues to be a thorn in the the coalition. (Malaysiakini)

A PAS leader today rebutted party conservatives' stand that the PAS president cannot be challenged. Central committee member Khalid Abdul Samad stated that the president or any top party leaders can be replaced if they do not perform.

"If performance is unsatisfactory, then the PAS central committee, including the president, can and should be changed through the electoral process in the muktamar," he said.

PAS' conservatives, primarily consisting of the ulama (religious scholars) group, have insisted on following the party's tradition. They said the PAS president has never been challenged since the party adopted ulama leadership in 1982. The group has also insisted that the president can only be an ulama.

However, Khalid begged to differ, stating that this criterion is only necessary for membership of the syura council which interprets Islamic law. Instead, he said the focus of central committee, including the president, is on the party's management and therefore, its members must be equipped with various skills. Most important, he said, is the capacity to lead the party into the general election. (Malaysiakini)

CIMB Group announced several key leadership appointments, including the appointment of Tigor M. Siahaan as president director of CIMB Niaga. Effendy Shahul Hamid will assume the role of CEO for group asset management & investments, while Kwan Keen Yew has been appointed as group Chief Compliance Officer. "They all bring different perspectives to the table and to CIMB Group's refreshed leadership team and organisation structure.

The Selangor water deadlock will end up in the courts if both the federal and state governments are unable to come to an agreement over the latest impasse. For now, Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water Datuk Seri Maximus Ongkili wants to convince the state to extend the deadline of the Master Agreement even though it lapsed on Monday. “It can be activated even tomorrow; it is up to them to extend the timeline,’’ he told The Star.

He is scheduled to meet his officers involved in the water restructuring project today to explain issues surrounding the impasse. He hopes his officers will then clarify the matter with their counterparts from the state by the end of this week or early next week.

“There is some misconception and we believe (Selangor Mentri Besar) Azmin Ali was ill advised on the 45-year land lease issue. “The land will go back to the state after the lease period ends, not to the Federal Government. “Once all these issues are clarified, we should be able to conclude everything in a month,’’ Ongkili said.

PKR secretary-general and Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli says that that KWAP had loaned RM4bn to SRC International Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of 1MDB that has been taken over by the Ministry of Finance.

He said that he could not get any clear answers as to why the loan was made to a company whose principal was facing serious problems in repaying its debts or servicing its loans. The subsidiary was later absorbed as a fully-owned entity of the finance ministry and its RM4bn liability removed from 1MDB's books. (The Rakyat Times)

The Ministry of Finance, which owns 100% of 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), has provided the latter with a standby credit facility. 1MDB president and group executive director Arul Kanda said on Thursday the facility, of up to RM950m, was provided as a loan on commercial terms. (StarBiz)

Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Mohamad Hanadzlah said that 1MDB’s gearing ratio, which is a measure of debt against capital, was 17x and unsustainable at its present form. This is why 1MDB has embarked on an exercise to rationalise and consolidate its assets,” he said in reply to a question from Mohd Fasiah Mohd Fakeh (BN-Sabak Bernam) in Parliament yesterday. In an effort to consolidate its assets, Ahmad Husni said that 1MDB was in negotiations to transfer a power plant project that would cost RM8bn to construct. “1MDB is in negotiations to transfer the project,” he said.

In March last year, 1MDB was awarded a project to build a 2,000MW power plant in Port Dickson, fending off a close challenge from a joint venture of YTL Power International Bhd and SIPP Energy Sdn Bhd. The power plant was supposed to be the anchor for 1MDB to list its energy unit that was scheduled to take place in the first quarter of this year. (StarBiz)

1MDB is in the process of undertaking an IPO to inject capital flow into the sovereign fund to overcome its cash flow problems. Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah said this short-term measure would be launched in June or July.

"The IPO is important. It is needed to restructure borrowing," he said. Ahmad Husni said this in reply to a supplementary question by Mohd Fasiah Mohd Fakeh (BN-Sabak Bernam) on the financial position of 1MDB at Dewan Rakyat. Replying to the original question by Mohd Fasiah on the performance of 1MDB, Husni said, the fund has launched two initiatives -- consolidation of the business and rationalisation to improve business potentials.

He said the consolidation initiative involved putting the energy business under subsidiary, Edra Global Energy, which has big potentials. "The returns in terms of gross revenue is about RM3.8bn and net profit of RM1.3bn," he said.

Ahmad Husni said for property development in the long run, the focus was on Tun Razak Exchange which has a GDV of RM40bn and Bandar Malaysia (RM150bn).

Petronas has priced a US$5bn multi-tranche bond, with the proceeds being used by the firm or subsidiaries and associated companies for corporate purposes. The transaction comprised a US$1.25bn 5-year Sukuk tranche, US$750m 7-year tranche, US$1.5bn 10-year and US$1.5bn 30-year conventional notes.

This is the first offering from Petronas since its US$4.5bn dual-tranche in August 2009 and the largest G3 issuance from Southeast Asia. Bank of America Merrill Lynch, CIMB Investment Bank, Citigroup, J.P Morgan and Morgan Stanley acted as the active joint bookrunners and lead managers. (Bernama)

Oil and gas (O&G) services provider Yinson Holdings Bhd has secured a term loan facility of up to US$780m (RM2.87bn) for its floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) project in Ghana, Africa. The facility is to part-finance the conversion and refurbishment of an FPSO vessel pursuant to the contract that was awarded by Eni Ghana Exploration Production Ltd on Jan 27.

According to the company, the charter contract, which will last for 15 years with five-yearly extension options, was for the processing of O&G from the Offshore Cape Three Points block, located in the Tano Basin, about 60km off the coast of Ghana. (StarBiz)

Tanjung Offshore is seeking RM270m in damages from seven individuals who are in the process of convening a shareholders’ meeting to remove three of the company’s directors. The company and the three independent directors - George William Warren Jr, Datuk Ab Wahab Ibrahim and Shahrizal Hisham Abdul Halim - have commenced civil action in the High Court of Malaya against the defendants (the seven individuals) for defamation. The defendants named in the case are Tan Sri Tan Kean Soon, Datuk Nik Norzrul Thani N Hassan Thani, Datin Norhafizah Mohd Nordin, Datuk Rosman Hassan, Datuk Norazman Hamidun, Datuk Maheran Mohd Salleh and Tan Sam Eng.

Tanjung said in a statement that its three co-plaintiffs were members of an independent committee formed by the board in January to conduct an internal review, following several speculative articles that had been published in the media in 2014. “Kean Soon was present at the board meeting, and approved the committee’s formation and objectives. The committee’s findings resulted in the suspension from their executive roles of Kean Soon and two other company officials,” it said. (StarBiz)

Seacera Group Bhd is tweaking its proposal for the country’s first electrified security fence project to incorporate features that would make it withstand massive floods. Group managing director Zulkarnin Ariffin said the company, which had first sent in the proposal for the security fence in June last year, was adjusting it following the recent floods in Kelantan. Seacera was one of the early movers of the security fence project.

Last year, it had suggested erecting an electrified fence measuring more than 500km across the Malaysian-Thai border. Kelantan is one of the states that borders Thailand. It is learnt that Seacera’s proposal had reached the Home Ministry, which has been looking to beef up security and help minimise smuggling activities across the borders. Apart from Seacera, there are at least four other companies that have submitted proposals.

It is learnt that the ministry would review the proposals from as early as next month. Seacera, which is involved in the ceramic tiles and other building materials, construction and property segments, surprised the market last June when the low profile bumiputra company announced that it had, together with another little-known firm, Intelligent Fence (M) Sdn Bhd, submitted a proposal for such a mega job. A search with the Registrar of Companies shows that the main shareholder of Intelligent Fence is 35-year-old Chandrasegaran Uthamasselan. (StarBiz)
