Sell Evergrande Deutsche Bank Markets Research Rating Company Date 16 November 2015 Sell Evergrande Company Update Asia Hong Kong Reuters Bloomberg Exchange Ticker Price at 13 Nov 2015 (HKD) 6.27 Property 3333.HK 3333 HK HSI 3333 Price target - 12mth (HKD) 2.40 Property 52-week range (HKD) 7.90 - 2.96 HANG SENG INDEX 22,396 Operational strategies unclear; high Jason Ching, CFA Tony Tsang leverage continues to hurt profitability Research Analyst Research Analyst (+852) 2203 6205 (+852) 2203 6256 Maintain Sell on lack of clear operational strategies and high leverage [email protected] [email protected] Given the aggressive share buyback, continued significant investment in non- core businesses and recent acquisition of off-shore assets, Evergrande has no clear operational strategies, in our view. In particular, while Evergrande raised Key changes a total of Rmb40bn from issuance of public and non-public domestic Rmb Price target 2.45 to 2.40 ↓ -2.0% corporate bonds at markedly lower coupons YTD, we believe there is marginal Source: Deutsche Bank benefit in reducing funding costs as the company has spent about Rmb36bn in additional acquisitions/share buy-backs YTD, implying little scope left for debt Price/price relative refinancing. Moreover, the aggressive share buy-back YTD could further 9 worsen its financial position, where excessive leverage is hurting profitability. 8 Non-core businesses highlight a lack of clear operational strategies 6 On top of an estimated Rmb29bn in land acquisitions in China in 10M15, 5 Evergrande has acquired projects in Chongqing/Chengdu/Hong Kong from CC 3 Land/Chinese Estates/Sino-Land for an aggregate value of Rmb27bn. 2 Moreover, the company has committed Rmb2bn in investment in non-core 11/13 5/14 11/14 5/15 businesses in FY15 (following Rmb6.4bn spent in FY13/14) and aggressive Evergrande HANG SENG INDEX (Rebased) share buy-back YTD amounted to HK$8.8bn (Rmb7.2bn). These additional items (amounting to Rmb36bn) are expected to result in a net cash outflow of Performance (%) 1m 3m 12m Rmb33bn in FY15 (versus guidance Rmb25bn inflow). Consequently, we Absolute 27.4 28.2 109.0 expect effective net gearing (adjusted for perpetual) to worsen to 286% (238% HANG SENG INDEX -0.9 -6.8 -6.8 as of mid-15) or 329% excluding MI (280% as of mid-15) by end-15. Source: Deutsche Bank Share buyback YTD amounted to HK$8.8bn; further mandate of 449m shares By referencing the new repurchase mandate dated July 28, wherein the company seeks (and recently approved by shareholders) additional mandate of 575m shares, Evergrande has total mandate to repurchase up to 2,140m shares until the next AGM in Jun-16. Since July 8, Evergrande has repurchased a total of 1.69bn shares (10.8% of issued capital) in the market for HK$8.8bn, at an average price of HK$5.2. In another words, Evergrande has mandate to repurchase a further 449m shares. In our view, the aggressive share buy-back is negative as: 1) it exhausts cash; 2) it increases net gearing on smaller equity base; 3) buy-backs above NAV represent value destruction to shareholders. Target price at a 40% discount to our NAV estimate of HK$4/share We base our target price on a 40% discount to our NAV estimate of HK$4/share, implying a 2015E PER of 6x. Our target discount reflects the higher risk profile associated with higher leverage, where net gearing stood at a high 280% by mid-15 (industry average of 80%). Key upside risks: loosening in government policy/financing.

  • FIXED INCOME WEEKLY China Property Bonds: Who Are the Higher Quality Issuers?
    iFAST Research Team iFAST Research Team iFAST Research Team iFAST Research Team iFAST Research Team FIXED INCOME WEEKLY China Property Bonds: Who are the Higher Quality Issuers? Differentiate Between Strong and Weak Developers The spike in yields across Chinese property developers is currently presenting attractive investment opportunities. To help investors differentiate between the stronger and weaker property developers, we highlight some of their financial ratios, giving us a gauge of who faces lower risks of default. High Liquidity The cash ratio measures the amount of cash or cash equivalents held by the company over its short- term liabilities. The higher the amount of liquid assets it holds, the greater the ability for the company to meet bond payments on time and avoid defaults. Healthy Liquidity The CFO-to-Debt ratio is a measure of how the liabilities are covered by the cash flow generated from a company’s operation. The higher the amount of operating cash flow generated from its core businesses, the lesser the reliance on the borrowing, and the greater the financial flexibility for the company to meet bond payments. Low Leverage With lower levels of net debt-to-equity ratio, tightened liquidity or access to credit should be less of a concern to these companies. Strong Solvency Interest coverage ratio is measured by operating income (or earnings before interest and tax) over interest expense. A stronger level of solvency means firms have greater ability to avoid bankruptcy and repay their debt obligations. Who are the Strong Property Developers? We calculate a composite score by combining the aforementioned ratios via a standardisation method to provide a quick measure of the developer’s overall credit quality relative to its peers.
