We consider the results to be within our expectation in 6.10 anticipation of further earnings recovery following strong 5.90 rebound in occupancy rates on the back of the gradual 5.70 reopening of markets which IHH operates in. Looking at the 5.50 performance of its 62%-owned Continental Hospitals and 5.30 74%-owned Global Hospitals acquired back in 2015 where 5.10 its EBITDA is hardly ever positive, India is coming across 4.90 as a tough market place.

This brings 3QFY20 Core Market Cap (RM m) 49,152.4 Net Profit (CNP) to RM234m compared to a core net loss of RM84m Shares Outstanding 8,777.2 2QFY20 due to narrower losses at India (3QFY20 core net loss at 52-week range (H) 5.94 RM28m compared to 2QFY20 of RM156m). 52-week range (L) 4.55 YoY, 9MFY20 revenue and EBITDA decreased 13% and 24%, 3-mth avg daily vol: 2,636,431 respectively, due to the pandemic as patients postponed non-urgent Free Float 11% and non-essential treatment and visits to hospitals and healthcare Beta 0.8 facilities (primarily in 2QFY20).

Yield (%) 0.7 0.7 0.7 Global Hospitals acquired back in 2015 where EBITDA is hardly

positive, India is seen as a tough operating environment. We are

concerned over issues at Fortis, including an auditor’s qualified audit

report in FY19, potential risk of provisions, lapses in internal controls

leading to regulatory probing, which could well mean execution risk.

Maintain UP. We maintain our SoP-TP of RM4.56. The stock is trading at rich valuations of 78x and 54x on FY20E and FY21E EPS, respectively, compared to expected earnings growth averaging 7% each over the next two years. Key risk to our call is faster-than-expected ramp-up in new hospitals.
