02 0 Tanah Makmur, a -based palm oil player with exposure to . 0 property development and bauxite mining, will be listed on the Main 0 Market on 17 July. Earnings growth prospects are driven by the 0 company’s well-planned expansion strategy for the next few years. This is expected to spur earnings from all its business segments. We estimate the value of the stock at MYR1.74, based on 10x FY15F P/E.

 Key investment highlights. Tanah Makmur is a palm oil company based in Pahang with a planted acreage of 17,969ha. We project for the company to post an approximately 24% earnings compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next two years. This will be underpinned by the capacity expansion of its oil mill, improving fresh fruit bunches (FFB) yield, future property launches and a new stream of income from its bauxite mining business. Investors should expect a decent dividend yield of 4.1%, since management intends to adopt a dividend policy of paying out a minimum of 30% of net profit.

 Royal links. Tanah Makmur has close ties to Pahang’s royal family as well as the State Government. The crown prince of Pahang and his family, via TAS Industries SB, have the largest stake in the company (26.2% in total). The state’s Lembaga Kemajuan Perusahaan Pertanian Negeri Pahang (LKPP) agency holds the second largest stake (20.0%). The company’s strong relationship with these parties has allowed it to

Company Background Introduction. Tanah Makmur was primarily an oil palm plantation company before it expanded to include palm oil milling, property development and the ancillary business of mining for bauxite. The company is currently operating in Pahang only. All its oil palm plantation estates and its township development – KotaSAS – are located in Pahang.

Historically, all of its plantation business was held by Kurnia Setia Bhd, a company that was previously listed by LKPP on the Malaysia Stock Exchange on 1 Dec 1984. In 2009, Tanah Makmur offered to acquire the entire business and undertakings – including all assets and liabilities – of Kurnia Setia, which resulted in the privatisation of the latter. This exercise was completed in 2010 and Kurnia Setia was officially delisted on 21 Dec of that year.

Plantation business. Tanah Makmur currently operates 13 plantation estates in Pahang with an aggregate plantation land acreage of 17,969ha. Of this, 65% is self- owned and the remaining 35% is leased from LKPP, a Pahang State Government body that holds a 20% stake in the company. In FY13, Tanah Makmur’s estates produced about 232,605 tonnes of FFB. These were sold to the company’s own palm oil mill (49.2% of the total produced, which were supplied by seven of its estates), third-party traders and other millers. Tanah Makmur believes that by having its own mill, higher oil extraction rate (OER) is achievable due to better control of the milling process. Easy access to the mill and its strategic location helps ensure timely delivery of the FFB, which, in turn, allows for quick processing post harvesting. Tanah Makmur ventured into downstream activities with the production of CPO, palm kernel (PK) and compost fertiliser in July 2012.

Property development. Tanah Makmur ventured into the property development business in 2008. This was undertaken in order to maximise the potential value of its land via the commencement of its maiden township development called KotaSAS in , Pahang. The project is being developed on part of the company’s Ladang Bukit Goh estate and measures approximately 1,500 acres. KotaSAS’ development is slated to span over the next 15 years. Ancillary to this business, Tanah Makmur has also commenced mining bauxite after obtaining the necessary licenses. This business came about when it discovered bauxite deposits while clearing land for its property development initiative. The mining will be undertaken for a 3-year period, subject to renewal of the necessary licenses.

Key management personnel Tengku Dato’ Zubir bin Tengku Dato’ Ubaidillah. Tengku Dato’ Zubir had 19 years of experience in various companies prior to joining Kurnia Setia in 2005 as its general manager of corporate development. He was promoted to general manager a year later. Subsequent to the privatisation of Kurnia Setia, he was transferred to Tanah Makmur where he assumed his current position as MD. Teh Foo Hock. Prior to his recent appointment as Tanah Makmur’s CFO, Teh was attached to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in 1985-1997, where he held various positions. He joined public-listed Kinsteel (KSB MK, NR) in 1997 where he held the position of group accountant (and later head of treasury) before he left in April 2014.

Business Overview Tanah Makmur’s planted areas stand at 13,529ha, of which 11,729ha is mature and the rest of 1,800ha is immature as at 15 May. There are another 3,093ha that can be planted up going forward. The company’s plantation estates are observed to have produced a higher FFB yield/ha when compared to the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) industry average for the entire state of Pahang, West Malaysia and Malaysia as a whole (see Figure 7). Tanah Makmur was able to achieve an average of 20.43m tonnes/ha in FY13, ie in line with its 15-year average. This was due to its adoption of good practices in the process of cultivating, harvesting, manuring and weeding.

CPO mill set up in 2012. Tanah Makmur set up a CPO mill in July 2012, which has a 30 tonne/hour capacity. The capacity of this mill could be expanded to 75 tonnes/hour. Having such capabilities has allowed the company to better manage its oil yield and improve profits. It achieved an average OER of 19.98% in 2013, in line with the national average. The CPO mill is currently running at an estimated average utilisation rate of 85%.

Township development. The KotaSAS township started with a joint-venture (JV) agreement signed between KotaSAS and OMNI Holdings SB, a property development company based in Kuantan. The JV sought to develop and construct a township in Bukit Goh, with the project focused on developing residential, commercial, institutional and government properties. KotaSAS was designed to come equipped with necessary township facilities like schools, recreational parks and lakes. The take-up rate for the properties within the development has been good, with a total of 1,045 residential units sold out of the 1,074 launched since Jan 2010.

Tanah Makmur (TMK MK) 16 July 2014

Strategies Future growth to be driven by its replanting and new planting programmes. Tanah Makmur intends to improve its oil palm age profile by replanting its old mature plantation estates, which account for about 9.5% of its total planted area, as well as planting on its landbank reserves. The company plans to replant 2,061ha of its matured estates over the next four years. Tanah Makmur expects new planting activities at its Ladang Alur Seri and Ladang Ulu Lepar plantations – involving another 3,093ha of land – to be completed over the next three years. With the new plantings in place, Tanah Makmur’s total planted area is expected to further improve by 23% and this ought to provide some future output growth.

Our estimates.  We project FFB growth of 3.4% for FY14 and 7.9% for FY15, after taking into account the planting and replanting programmes currently underway.  We assume a FFB yield of 20 tonnes/ha for FY14 and FY15.  We project CPO prices to increase to MYR2,700/tonne in FY14 and MYR2,900/tonne in FY15. With the assumptions above, we expect Tanah Makmur to generate GPMs of 42% and 43% for FY14 and FY15 respectively for its plantation division. The company’s average production cost of MYR1,200-MYR1,300/tonne is in line with the industry average.

Continuous landbank expansion plan. Tanah Makmur plans to increase its plantation landbank to at least 25,000ha over the next three years, ie by 39% from its current 17,969ha landbank. The company intends to achieve this by acquiring suitable land within Pahang, ie its primary concentration area. It may consider expanding into Sabah, Sarawak or overseas. Currently, Tanah Makmur has identified two pieces of greenfield plantation land in Kampong Bongsu (measuring 1,214ha) and Ulu Lepar (measuring 1,436ha), both in Pahang. The company is working with LKPP to secure the acquisition of this land from the State Government. Tanah Makmur has estimated that the acquisition of these two plots of land will cost approximately MYR10.0m (approximately MYR3,774/ha), which is inexpensive when compared with the industry average.

Palm oil mill expansion to cater for anticipated FFB growth. Tanah Makmur plans to expand the capacity of its palm oil mill by 2016. It is looking to boost capacity to 45 tonnes/hour from 30 tonnes/hour by upgrading the existing processing line at the mill. With the additional 15 tonnes/hour, it is targeting total CPO and PK production to increase by another 50%. The company expects expansion costs, estimated for a period of not more than eight months, to be at about MYR500,000. This will be funded by its IPO proceeds. We do not expect Tanah Makmur to have any problems in acquiring more external FFB to service the expanded CPO mill. Currently, the company acquires about 45% of FFB for its mill from external sources.

Tanah Makmur (TMK MK) 16 July 2014

Potential overall GDV of MYR3.0bn for the KotaSAS township. Only around 9.7% of the land has been developed thus far. KotaSAS still has around 1,355 acres of land for future development and we understand that the present GDV of MYR1.8bn could increase to a potential MYR3.0bn going forward, should a new state administrative complex and assembly hall be relocated to this township. By the end of 2014, Tanah Makmur also plans to launch 478 residential units, which will include the project’s first bungalows as well as 40 units of commercial shop lots valued at approximately MYR245m in GDV.

New income stream from bauxite mining. We project an additional earnings boost from Tanah Makmur’s bauxite mining business in FY14-FY16. The company, via its 60%-owned mining subsidiary Kreatif Selaras Mining SB, entered into an agreement with SE Satu SB, which saw the latter being appointed as the exclusive operator to mine and extract bauxite from the identified lands. Based on an indicative selling price of USD46/tonne – and estimated deposits of 1,426,500 tonnes – we project for Tanah Makmur to possibly generate a gross profit of MYR88.3m over the next three years from this mining business.

Risks Reliance on foreign workers. Tanah Makmur’s plantation business is labour intensive. The company relies heavily on foreign labour, primarily Indonesian workers. 78.7% of its workforce of 1,006 employees is made up of foreign workers. Hence, any shortage of workers due to changes in the Government’s immigration policies may affect the operations at the company’s plantation estates.

Unfavourable weather conditions and other inherent business risks. Insufficient rainfall or, conversely, excessive downpour that can cause flooding can adversely affect the quantity of FFB harvested and lower yields. Such a decline in production may impact Tanah Makmur’s plantation earnings if there is no support from higher selling prices. Other than weather conditions, other risks include the outbreak of diseases or damage to its oil palm trees at its plantations can also disrupt production.

Commodity price fluctuations. As is with commodities, CPO and PK prices are also influenced by cyclical factors and are prone to market volatility. Observations based on the MPOB’s published figures show that annual average CPO prices have risen as high as MYR3,219/tonne in 2011 and dropped to as low as MYR1,394/tonne in 2005.

Key Investment Highlights The plantation segment is the anchor. Tanah Makmur’s plantation operations are the company’s stable backbone, contributing 83-87% on average to its FY11-13 gross profit. The company’s property division, in comparison, accounted for 13-17% during the same period. We expect the plantation business to record gross profit growth of 3% and 11% for FY14 and FY15 respectively due to expected higher CPO prices and increased capacity at its CPO mill.

Property provides growth. Tanah Makmur’s property business, being relatively new to the company, has good growth prospects on the back of future property launches. With its favourable location (near the East Coast Highway and the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Airport), as well as the establishment of the East Coast Economic Region (ECER) – with Kuantan having been identified as a hub for commerce and trade under the ECER’s master plan – we expect Tanah Makmur’s property launches to be well received in the coming years.

Bauxite mining provides additional earnings. We estimate Tanah Makmur’s new stream of income from its bauxite mining unit to contribute 22-24% on average to its gross profits in FY14-FY15.

Strong ties with the Pahang State Government. Tanah Makmur has a strong working relationship with its major shareholder, LKPP, which is an agency of the State Government of Pahang. LKPP has been entrusted with the leadership role for the state’s agriculture sector and other similarly related activities. This agency has provided support to Tanah Makmur’s plantation business by facilitating in the acquisition and leasing of plantation lands.

30% dividend payout policy. Tanah Makmur has stated its intention to adopt a dividend policy of paying out a minimum 30% of profit after tax. This policy is estimated to produce a decent net yield of 4.1% for FY15.

2-year earnings CAGR of 24%. Overall, we are projecting for Tanah Makmur to post earnings growth of 44.5% for FY14 (coming from a lower base) and 7.1% for FY15. We expect this to be driven by single-digit growth in its plantation division, good take- up rates at future property launches in KotaSAS and the new revenue stream from its bauxite mining business. We extrapolate that every MYR100/tonne change in the price of CPO could affect earnings by 6-7% per annum.

Valuation FV of MYR1.74. Our FV for the stock is MYR1.74, pegged to 10x FY15F P/E. Our FV presents an upside of 39% from its IPO price of MYR1.25. We derive our P/E target by using the 11.2x average FY15F P/E of its peers and applying a 10% discount to the average P/E. This is given Tanah Makmur’s smaller landbank size and market capitalisation.
