Samsung C&T Corporation

(028260 KS) Raising cash to invest in the future

1Q18 review: OP of W209.2bn (+52.3% YoY), far above the consensus

For 1Q18, C&T Corporation (Samsung C&T) reported revenue of W7.48tr (+11.5% YoY), operating profit of W209.2bn (+52.3% YoY), and net profit attributable to Results Comment controlling interests of W398.6bn (+86.1% YoY), handily beating the market consensus. The sharp increase in operating profit was attributable to improvements in E&C (high- April 26, 2018 tech) and T&I (trading). On the non-operating side, dividend income from affiliates (W235bn), gains from the Geumcheon logistics center sale (W85bn), and income from the project (W21.7bn) contributed to a surge in net profit YoY. 1) E&C: Revenue and operating profit were W3tr (+10.5% YoY) and W158bn (+73.6% (Maintain) Buy YoY), respectively. Domestic/overseas project margins improved, while new orders totaled W1.5tr (W0.7tr for high-tech, and W0.8tr for increases in existing projects). 2) T&I: Revenue and operating profit were W3.3tr (+16.0% YoY) and W57.7bn (+34.2% Target Price (12M, W) ▲ 190,000 YoY), respectively. The trading business was boosted by strong commodity prices. Organizing fees also increased. Share Price (04/25/18, W) 135,000 Investment points: 1) Cheap valuation; 2) investments in future growth; 3) removal of regulatory overhang Expected Return 41% 1) Samsung C&T looks steeply undervalued, trading at a 47% discount to its NAV. In our view, improving earnings, as well as the increase in the value of holdings in affiliates like (SEC) and , are not reflected in OP (18F, Wbn) 1,009 current share prices. For 2018, we forecast that net profit attributable to controlling interests will climb 66.5% YoY to W1.1tr, driven by in-house business earnings growth Consensus OP (18F, Wbn) - and a significant gain in dividend income (W627bn in 2018F; +74.2% YoY) resulting from SEC’s 100% dividend hike. Meanwhile, we note that while the value of the EPS Growth (18F, %) 66.5 company’s in-house businesses and investment assets has jumped more than 69% Market EPS Growth (18F, %) 15.8 since 2015, its market cap has actually changed little. P/E (18F, x) 24.2 2) We expect Samsung C&T to unload its non-operating assets to raise funds to invest Market P/E (18F, x) 9.5 in future growth. At present, the company has around W3tr in cash assets and is in the KOSPI 2,448.81 process of selling its Seocho building (book value of W560bn) and Hanwha General Chemical stake (20%; W1tr). Using the proceeds from the sales, we believe the Market Cap (Wbn) 25,608 company will actively pursue stake acquisitions and M&A deals. Shares Outstanding (mn) 191 th Free Float (%) 47.8 * On April 24 , announced that it will exercise its call option to acquire an additional stake (up to 50% minus one share) in Samsung Bioepis (by the end of June). Foreign Ownership (%) 11.1 As Biogen has stated that its Bioepis stake was an investment, we think Biogen could Beta (12M) 1.31 consider selling some of the shares acquired through the call option, providing an 52-Week Low 122,000 opportunity for Samsung C&T to purchase a stake in Bioepis. 52-Week High 149,500 3) The sale of Samsung SDI’s 2.1% stake in Samsung C&T was finalized on April 10th, removing a major regulatory overhang related to new circular shareholdings. There (%) 1M 6M 12M are now four circular shareholdings remaining across the Samsung Group, which are Absolute 4.7 -7.8 3.4 tied by Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ (SEMCO) 2.6% stake in Samsung C&T and Relative 3.3 -6.2 -7.2 Samsung F&M’s 1.4% stake in Samsung C&T. However, there are no separate deadlines for selling these shares, as they are not legally required to be untied. Even if 130 Samsung C&T Corporation the group voluntarily decides to unwind the shareholdings, we believe it will be done KOSPI 120 in a way that does not conflict with Samsung C&T’s shareholder interests. 110 Maintain Buy and raise TP to W190,000; ample upside potential 100 We maintain Buy on Samsung C&T and raise our target price by 5.6% to W190,000 90 (from W180,000), reflecting upward adjustments to in-house earnings estimates and

80 changes in the value of the company’s equity holdings. 4.17 8.17 12.17 4.18 We see ample upside to current share prices, given the valuation of in-house businesses and equity stakes. Looking ahead, we expect the stock to re-rate higher, Mirae Asset Co., Ltd. fueled by the resumption of group restructuring and aggressive shareholder returns.
