Investment Daily Daily Focus China Tower (0788): Interim result review

 China Tower (0788) 1H20 revenue rose 4.8% yoy to Rmb39,794mn, while net China Tower (0788) Info profit rose 16.9% yoy to Rmb2,978mn. However, the profit increase is mainly thanks to the interest cost decline from Rmb2,349mn in 1H19 to Rmb2,094mn in Closed price 1.46 1H20. Its EBITDA only rose 4.6% yoy to Rmb29,100mn in 1H20, which is below market expectation. Expected P/E (X) 36

 On business segment, core tower revenue rose 1.6% yoy to Rmb36,371mn. Of Dividend yield (%) 1.4 which, revenue from major client (0941) only rose 0.6% yoy to 52 week high 2.014 Rmb20,220mn, the growth is mainly come from (+5.6% yoy) and (+6.6% yoy). Besides, for the two other business segment, 52 week low 1.37 revenue from indoor distributed antenna system rose 37.2% yoy to Rmb1,720mn, 14RSI 49 while trans-sector site application and information and energy operation rose 87.3% to Rmb1,579mn.

 For 2Q20 only, China Tower revenue growth accelerated to 5.4% yoy, but its EBITDA rose 2.4% yoy only to Rmb14,568mn, (compared with rose 6.9% yoy to Rmb14,532mn in 1Q20). The disappointing EBITDA performance is mainly due to sharp rise of employment cost.

 Looking ahead, although 5G roll out will accelerate in 2H20, investors are concern that the pace of core tower revenue growth. In fact, since the three telcos are China Tower’s major customer but also the major shareholders, China Tower often offer high co-location discounts which will result in a much lower Tower revenue growth.

 China Tower current valuation is 36x prospective P/E and 1.4% dividend yield, which is only fair valued with anticipated 15-20% net profit growth (given its high earnings leverage despite slow revenue and EBITDA growth). We expect China Tower to continue range trade at HK$1.40-1.55 in the near term.

Investment Daily HYSAN DEV(0014): Displayed strong resilience during 1H2020

Among them, revenue from Expected P/E (X) 10.6 retail portfolio was $900 million, from office portfolio was $927 million and from Dividend yield (%) 6 residential portfolio was $154 million, decreased by 10%, 0.22% and 1.28% respectively. 52 week high 34.01

For the 1H2020, the changes in the fair value of the investment properties decreased by $4.065 billion, while it recorded gain of 1.453 billion for the same period last year. The capitalization rates for office and residential portfolio were flat at 4.25%-5% and 3.75%, while for the retail portfolio it expanded by 0.25% to 5.25%-5.50%, the valuation was more conservative.

 Despite the backdrop of a negative net absorption of over 1.4 million square feet office space in Hong Kong in the first half of 2020, the company’s office occupancy rate was 96%, 2% less than last year. Meanwhile, its portfolio continued to achieve an overall positive rental reversion on renewals, rent review and new lettings. The banking and financial industries account for about 23% of the leased area of the office portfolio, while the impact from the epidemic was limited on these sector, however, the recent tension between China and U.S may cause negative impact.

 Regarding the retail portfolio, as the company focuses on the tourist consumption, the company estimated tenant sales underperformed Hong Kong’s overall retail sales, and it’s overall rental reversion in renewals, rent review and new lettings became negative in the first half of 2020. The retail occupancy was 94% as at 30 June 2020, 2% lower than as at end of 2019.

The company announced an interim dividend of 27 cents, same as last year, but it will not make projection for the future dividend policy. In addition, the company is also looking for the acquisition opportunities in Hong Kong, China and overseas.

 In terms of valuation, the Expected P / E ratio is 10.6 times, the P / B ratio is 0.32 times, with Expected dividend yield around 6%, the valuation is reasonable. Although the rental income for 2H2020 still face challenge, the company's occupancy rate in the first half of the year still at a high level, outperforming its peers, reflecting the company's strong resilience, and the company maintained its dividend level, which may provide support for the share price. If the share price can stay above 100 days SMA($23.86), it may test $26.
