SingPost – OCBC

PROPERTY SPIN-OFF A BONUS; BUY FOR DEFENSIVENESS

  • Recent listings highlight buoyant mood
  • May be an opportune time
  • But group is cash rich

Property spinoffs gathering pace, though mainly hospitality

With current high property prices in Singapore, an increasing number of companies have listed their property assets due to favourable valuations, though these have been mostly limited to hospitality assets so far this year.

SingPost is rich

Besides having a dominant presence in Singapore’s mail and logistics business which generates stable cash flows, SingPost also has a property portfolio that may bring in substantial cash when unlocked. The group has about 61 post offices and around half are owned by SingPost; about 14 of these are restricted in usage, leaving 16 or so potentially saleable. However, the jewel in its portfolio is the Singapore Post Centre (SPC) which is conveniently located near Paya Lebar MRT. We estimate that the SPC is worth S$765m based on its current mix of industrial, office and retail use, but the value may increase to about S$1.56b if the building is converted to full commercial use.

May be an opportune time, but no rush for group

The buoyant mood in Singapore’s property sector means that this could be an opportune time for SingPost to spin off some of its assets. The group may even receive an offer that is hard to resist. However, putting market sentiment aside, the group may not be in a rush to unlock value as it is currently cash-rich after issuing perpetual capital securities. The divestment of property would also result in a loss of rental income.

Spin-off a bonus; buy for its defensiveness

On a more fundamental level, we like the group for its stable operating cash flows given its non-cyclical business. Its consistent dividends (yield ~5.9%), strong balance sheet and dominant market position in its home country render it an attractive stock during an uncertain climate. Maintain BUY with our DDM-derived fair value estimate of S$1.14.

Healthy earnings momentum

2Q12 net profit of S$143m (up 10% y-o-y) slightly ahead of our estimates; margin improvements across all segments

Orderbook at record level of S$12.7bn underpins earnings visibility, going forward

Maintain BUY with higher TP of S$3.60

Highlights

Another strong quarter. 2Q12 net profit of S$143m was slightly above our expectations of S$138m, even after adjusting for S$12.8m gains on the sale of investment property, which was largely offset by S$10m allowance for doubtful debts. Revenue was up 10% y-o-y and 7% q-o-q to S$1.57bn, driven largely by the Land Systems and Marine sectors. 1H12’s net profit of S$277.5m makes up 50% of our existing full-year estimates for FY12, which is ahead of usual seasonality.

Margin improvement across all sectors. Overall PBT margin improved sequentially to 12% in 2Q12 from 10.5% in 1Q12. Aerospace core PBT margin was strong at 15%, compared to 13% in 1Q12 and 13.5% in 2Q11, owing to a favourable sales mix (higher heavy maintenance sales). Shipbuilding margins in the Marine segment also improved, despite an unfavourable fair value change of embedded forex derivatives in the S$880m Oman navy contract, which is denominated in Euros.

Our View

Record orderbook provides healthy earnings visibility. STE won close to an estimated S$2bn worth of new orders in 2Q12, as its orderbook expanded to record level of S$12.7bn at end-2Q12 from S$12.2bn at end-1Q12. About S$2.5bn of its orderbook will be recognised in 2H12.

Recommendation

Maintain BUY. Despite some acquisitions-related hiccups in the recent past, STE’s growth trajectory seems to be on track, driven by healthy order-win momentum and improvement in margins. We revise upwards our FY12/13F earnings estimates marginally by about 1-1.2% to account for the above. Operating cash flows in 1H12 remained strong, driven by higher customer deposits, in line with healthy order wins. Interim dividend of 3Scts was declared, at par with 1H11 levels. Given visible earnings growth, strong balance sheet and healthy dividend yield of 5%, we maintain our BUY call. Our TP, which is based on the blended valuation methodology, is revised upwards to S$3.60 as our PE multiple is revised upwards to 18x to reflect mid-cycle valuations.
