(000880 KS) Earnings to improve on Hanwha E&C’s normalization Holding Companies Upgrade to Buy and Present TP of W56,000 We upgrade our rating on Hanwha Corp. to Buy (from Hold) and present a target price Company Update of W56,000. Our target price reflects our expectations on the profit growth of the in- December 14, 2017 house business and Hanwha E&C’s operating earnings normalization in 2018. Hanwha Corp.’s stock appreciated 48% earlier in the year on the anticipated earnings recovery of Hanwha E&C (its wholly-owned subsidiary). Since then, however, the stock has given back most of its gains, as overseas losses at the construction company reemerged in 2Q-3Q17. (Upgrade) Buy Looking ahead, we expect Hanwha E&C’s overseas uncertainties to dissipate in 4Q17 Target Price(12M, W) ▲ and operating earnings to normalize in 2018, as the company has already booked the 56,000 maximum amount of losses that could potentially arise from the completion of its overseas plant contracts. From this perspective, we think Hanwha Corp.’s stock is Share Price (12/13/17, W) 41,500 deeply undervalued. The stock is currently trading at a historically high discount of 49% to its NAV and a 2018F P/B of 0.7x. Expected Return 35% Simply put, we believe Hanwha E&C’s overseas plant risk reduction and earnings recovery will help lift Hanwha Corp.’s consolidated earnings and net asset value, leading to a significant reduction in the stock’s valuation discount and an upturn in OP (17F, Wbn) 2,256 share prices. Consensus OP (17F, Wbn) - ‘Hanwha E&C 2018F OP to recover to W207.5bn; Iraqi housing project to get back on track EPS Growth (17F, %) 13.0 1) For 2018, we forecast Hanwha E&C to post revenue of W3.6tr and operating profit of W207.5bn. Market EPS Growth (17F, %) 45.5 P/E (17F, x) 6.0 We believe the biggest earnings contributor will be revenue from the lucrative Iraqi Market P/E (17F, x) 10.1 housing project. Hanwha E&C’s current order backlog stands at W17tr, of which the Iraqi housing project accounts for 50.8%. Ongoing domestic housing projects (which KOSPI 2,480.55 have recently exhibited strong presales) and continued orders from group affiliates (Hanwha Q Cells Korea, Yeochun NCC, etc.) should further support the company’s Market Cap (Wbn) 3,111 operating earnings recovery. Shares Outstanding (mn) 98 Free Float (%) 56.1 2) Additional interim payment to come in December; Iraqi housing project to get back on track in 2018 Foreign Ownership (%) 30.8 Beta (12M) 0.78 Regarding the Iraqi project, Hanwha E&C has kept cost input fairly tight to better 52-Week Low 34,600 manage risks in case of delays in the recovery of interim payments (following the receipt of US$560mn in December 2016). As such, we estimate revenue from the Iraqi 52-Week High 52,000 housing project will decline 4.3% YoY to W397.6bn in 2017 (from W415.7bn in 2016). (%) 1M 6M 12M However, the company is likely to receive an additional interim payment of around Absolute 0.2 -13.5 13.2 W150bn by the end of this month, which should reduce risks and allow the company to Relative 2.3 -17.2 -7.1 step up the pace of the project. We thus see revenue from the Iraqi housing project expanding 41.6% YoY to W563bn in 2018. 160 Hanwha Corp. KOSPI In-house business 2018 OP to grow to W295.5bn; Focus on product 140 development and export expansion to continue 120 We expect Hanwha Corp.’s in-house business to continue earnings growth, led by the explosives, defense, and machinery segments. In particular, the company could see 100 new revenue opportunities from the development of advanced weapons and export expansion through its collaboration with affiliates like Hanwha Techwin. (Hanwha 80 12.16 4.17 8.17 12.17 Group’s goal is to become one of the top 10 global defense players by 2025, with revenue of W12tr and operating profit of W1tr.) Meanwhile, the trading business is likely to experience an overall revenue decline due to restructuring, but margins Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. should slightly improve.
