Towngas China Co Ltd China / Hong Kong Company Guide Towngas China Co Ltd Version 1 | Bloomberg: 1083 HK Equity | Reuters: 1083.HK Refer to important disclosures at the end of this report DBS Group Research . Equity 21 May 2018 BUY (Initiate coverage) Storing up for growth Last Traded Price ( 18 May 2018):HK$7.90 (HSI : 31,048) First mover advantage in large scale storage facilities Price Target 12-mth: HK$9.00 (14% upside) Dollar margin to remain stable despite winter gas A nalyst shortage Tony WU CFA +852 2971 1708 [email protected] Sales volume to reach CAGR of 14% in FY17-20 Patricia YEUNG +852 28638908 [email protected] Initiate with BUY rating, TP is set at HK$9.00 Price Relative More re-rating to go. Towngas China differs from other gas distributors in its determination to invest in midstream assets. By leveraging on the vast experience and resources of the parent company such as underground storage facility and LNG receiving terminal, it will allow the company to mitigate the dollar margin pressure and we believe the dollar margin will remain stable in FY18. Also, its gas sales volume growth is expected to reach a CAGR of 14% in FY17-20, which will help to drive up the adjusted earnings growth to 14% in FY17-20. This is expected to help the stock re-rate Forecasts and Valuation back to the 15-23x PE range before the oil price collapsed in FY Dec (HK$ m) 2017A 2018F 2019F 2020F 2014 and when volume growth was at double digit.

We assumed a beta of 1.0 with WACC of 7.4% and 1% terminal growth. PE 20 China Gas The stock is currently trading at 13x twelve month rolling PE, 18 which is at a 15% discount to its major peers. The gas sales ENN 16 volume growth is expected to maintain a CAGR of 14% in CR Gas 14 FY17-20, and together with stable dollar margin, we believe the Towngas stock will re-rate back at least to the low end range of 15x-23x 12 PE before the oil price collapsed in 2014. 10 Kunlun The drop in dollar margin for gas distributors has been one of 8 Tian Lun Gas the major overhangs for investors. We believe a stable dollar 6 BEH margin in FY18 would be positive to the share price. We reckon 4 Towngas China would be able to leverage on HKCG’s gas 2 storage and LNG receiving terminals to alleviate the margin pressure. The Jintan underground gas storage is the first large 0 scale underground storage of its kind built by city gas operators 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% in China, and this puts it in a better position than operators FY18-20 earnings growth such as CR Gas, which lacks such facilities currently. Source: Bloomberg, DBS Vickers Similar to ENN, Towngas China has shifted its focus to develop distributed energy projects and we believe it is on the right track in tapping into a market with strong growth potential.
