Asia Pacific Equity Research 31 March 2016 Overweight Shimao Property Holdings 0813.HK, 813 HK In search of the next growth driver Price: HK$11.98 ▼ Price Target: HK$15.20 Previous: HK$16.00 Shimao’s FY2015 results came in broadly in line. Core net profit was down 20% China Y/Y driven by margin deterioration, which is likely stabilizing thanks to recent China / Hong Kong Property market rebound. We believe Shimao’s management is logical enough to preserve AC Ryan Li, CFA cash and is not aggressive in land-banking when land price is rising significantly, (852) 2800-8529 hence net gearing on total equity basis stayed low. Shimao is patiently waiting for [email protected] land-banking opportunity, and they have slowly demonstrated their ability in Bloomberg JPMA RLI <GO> seeking and closing deals in the secondary market, including a piece in Shanghai Karl Chan in 2015 and recently a piece in Beijing. Should Shimao be able to buy cheap (852) 2800-8513 landbank in top tier cities using low-cost capital, we believe Shimao will resume [email protected] its growth pace soon, which is a free option attaching to today’s stock price at 5x Jevon Jim 2016E P/E. We believe the lack of growth is fully priced in, and with potential (852) 2800-8538 chairman buyback in the near term, together with strong sales momentum from [email protected] J.P. Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Limited YRD, we stay OW with Dec-2016 PT of HK$15.2, based on 6.5x 2016E P/E. A common post-expansion syndrome: Shimao’s margin-squeeze and Price Performance slowdown in growth is a common syndrome among developers which 20 experienced big growth in scale. This happened to Vanke in 2010-12, Longfor 16 in 2012-14, CR Land in 2012-14 and Country Garden in 2013-15. The thing HK$ 12 that we believe Shimao has done better is that given they have multiple fund- 8 raising-platforms, enabling them to control funding cost (via cheap on-shore Mar-15 Jun-15 Sep-15 Dec-15 Mar-16 funding), and to opportunistically raise equity (via on-shore Shanghai Shimao) 0813.HK share price (HK$) from minority shareholders. Thus, Shimao’s net gearing stayed low at <60% on HSCEI (rebased) YTD 1m 3m 12m total equity. This helps prevent the surge in interest cost which could cause a Abs -10.7% 19.1% -13.2% -28.2% second round of margin squeeze, like what R&F could experience soon. Rel -7.1% 5.7% -6.2% -1.2% Management quality is still good: Management is aware of the challenges in operations ahead, and has done pre-emptive measures, including the de-stocking in 2015, slowdown of construction in low-tier cities, and re-entry into top tier cities. We believe Shimao also stands out with its cultural (cinema) and commercial experiences, which may enable them to get integrated land cheaply. Moreover, given the decrease in inventory along YRD, we have held a more optimistic outlook for cities in the region. Shimao, with half of its GAV along YRD, should be the key beneficiary. On the back of all this, we think Shimao should still trade at a premium to peers whose management may not be as strong.
