Central Pattana (CPN TB) Buy (Maintained) Thailand Company Update 26 January 2021 Consumer Cyclical | Leisure & Entertainment Central Pattana (CPN TB) Buy (Maintained) Expansions On Track; Maintain BUY Target Price (Return): THB66.00 (24.5%) Price: THB53.00 Market Cap: USD7,904m Avg Daily Turnover (THB/USD) 699m/23.1m • BUY, as we roll over to FY21F’s THB66.00 TP from THB58.00, 25% Analyst upside, 1-2% yields. We like this stock, expecting solid 18-28% core profit growth in 2021-2022. The ongoing launch of new mall, residential, and Vatcharut Vacharawongsith mixed-use projects may strengthen the long-term outlook. Planned asset +66 2088 9736 sales and improving post-pandemic operations may be upcoming catalysts. [email protected] • Three out of Central Pattana’s 35 retail malls had 80% closures of leasable areas: Central Plaza Mahachai, Central Plaza Rayong, and Central i-City (Malaysia) – the rest saw limited temporary tenant closures (20%) and 50-60% drops in traffic. Yet, we are optimistic on the re-opening of certain activities (eg fitness centres, spas, beauty clinics, educational centres, etc) in Bangkok from 22 Jan, which may indicate more relaxing of Share Performance (%) pandemic controls in the near term. Assuming COVID-19’s resurgence here YTD 1m 3m 6m 12m is curbed in March, we expect CPN’s mall operations to recover and see Absolute 11.0 4.4 37.7 8.2 (15.5) less rental rate discounts from the current c.30% by 2Q21. Relative 7.4 3.4 14.0 (3.8) (11.2) • Mall investments to go on. CPN plans to open 14 retail malls with a total 52-wk Price low/high (THB) 33.25 – 63.00 capex of THB70bn over 2021-2025, adding >0.6m sq m NLAs (2020: 1.65m sq m). Two malls will open in Ayutthaya and Sri Racha in 4Q21 with a mall Central Pattana (CPN TB) in Chanthaburi in mid-2022. The Central Park retail project in Bangkok is Price Close set for 2H24. We think there is still room for mall expansions in Bangkok 65 115 and upcountry. We believe CPN will launch 10 malls over 2021-2025, based 60 110 on its opening of two new malls pa on average over the past 10 years. 55 105 • Upcoming asset spin-offs. CPN Growth Leasehold REIT (CPNREIT TB, 50 100 NR) announced plans last Thursday to invest in more two CPN leasehold 45 95 retail malls with combined NLAs of 30,656sq m – Central Marina Pattaya and Central Plaza Lampang – with the total not exceeding THB5.67bn. We 40 90 think this may act as short-term investment catalysts, given earnings 35 85 upsides from possible one-off extraordinary gains from the asset sales in 30 80 Jul-20 Jul-20 Apr-20 Apr-20 Oct-20 Oct-20 Jan-20 Jan-21 1H21. Proceeds should financially support its new retail developments. We Jun-20 Jun-20 Mar-20 Feb-20 Feb-20 Nov-20 Nov-20 Dec-20 Dec-20 Aug-20 Sep-20 Sep-20 May-20 May-20 expect CPN’s net D/E ratio to stay at 0.1-0.2x in 2021-2022. Source: Bloomberg • We revise up 2020F core profit by 8% to reflect the improving operations in 2H20, and trim it 4% and 1% in 2021F-2022F to reflect the impact of COVID-19’s second spread domestically. We assume an average rental rate discount of 15% and 10% for 2021 and 2022. We expect CPN’s 2021- 2022 solid core profit growth at 28% and 18%. Apart from a low earnings base, it will mainly be driven by the opening of new malls, launch of new residential projects (c.10% of total revenue), and CPN’s strength on opex controls, in our view, which can help boost core profit margins by 2ppts pa. • Keep BUY. We roll over the DCF-based TP to FY21F’s THB66.00. Having a long-term position in the stock is still attractive, in our view, with justified 24x FY21F and 19x FY22F P/Es. Earnings may return to pre-pandemic levels next year, in tandem with a recovery in foreign visitor numbers. Key risks: Delays in new project openings, extension of the pandemic, and weaker-than-expected domestic consumption.

However, for full year 2005 the economy grew by only 4.5%, a moderate decrease from 6.2% from the previous year. The decrease was attributed to the slowdown in household spending, lower overall production and a decrease in export. The contributing factors: - Higher oil price - Higher inflation - Higher interest rate - Reduction in consumer confidence - Other non-macroeconomic factors such as Tsunami, southern unrest, avian influenza, drought and flooding Note: Source from NESDB 4 Marketing Situation Retail Market Total supply of retail space in Bangkok rose by approximately 8% to 4.2 million sq.m. at the end of 2005, as compared with 3.9 million sq.m. at year-end 2004 and vacancy at year-end 2005 stood at approximately 5%. Retail rent in Bangkok was broadly stable in Q405, however, 2005 saw approximately 5% growth from 2004. New retail supply in 2006 is expected to be around 300,000 sq.m. Competition in Rajprasong is becoming increasingly intense, due to the growth in supply from the newly opened Paragon mall and the near completion of Centralworld. Office Market Total supply of office in Bangkok was stable in 2005 with an increase of less than 1% over 2004. Office space in 2005 stood at 7.2 million sq.m.
