SATS – OCBC
Cost management start to yield results
- Results above expectations
- Cost management still a key focus\
- Increase FV; maintain HOLD
3QFY15 PATMI jumped 25.2% YoY to S$53.7m
SATS reported a good set of 3QFY15 results on the back of disciplined cost management and favourable business mix which pushed up overall operating margins. While revenue declined 3.2% YoY to S$450.7m, PATMI saw a 25.2% jump to S$53.7m. The lower revenue is largely attributable to the weaker result from its Japan subsidiary, TFK, resulting in a 7.2% YoY drop in its 3QFY15 Food Solutions (FS) segment revenue. Gateway Services (GS) 3QFY15 revenue, however, saw a 3.5% increase as SATS continue to gain market share in cargo handling business in Singapore. The shift in business mix away from FS segment resulted in a 13.1% drop in 3QFY15 raw materials expenses. Lower staff costs also helped improve profitability. SATS 9MFY15 PATMI came in above expectations with a 4.6% YoY increase, as it formed 79.6% and 78.4% of the street and our FY15 forecasts.
Cost management a key focus amid challenging outlook
Management reiterated strategy is still to focus on managing costs and improving productivity, which include a dynamic roster system, and investing in technology to increase operating leverage through automation, which requires fewer employees and hence lower staff expenses. Also, with the FS segment revenue declining on higher LCCs’ flight cancellations, the expected shift in business mix towards more cargo handling of higher margins (which makes up ~33% of GS segment revenue) is likely to continue, especially for pharmaceutical cargos. In addition, while share of profits from overseas GS associated/JV companies is likely to continue to face volume and price pressures, we expect lower energy costs and FS segment account rationalisation to improve profitability. We also expect TFK’s revenue to still be muted due to overcapacity of caterers in Narita Airport.
Decent dividend expected; maintain HOLD
We continue to think SATS will maintain a decent level of dividend pay-out (~90%). Incorporating 3QFY15 results and the above factors, our FY15/16F forecasts increase by 5.1% and 5.7%, respectively. Based on 16.5x FY16F PER (5-year mean), our FV increases to S$2.98 (previous: S$2.92). Maintain HOLD.
Singpost – OCBC
Still on the lookout for growth
- No surprises in results
- Still exploring investment opportunities
- To redevelop retail space in SPC
Results in line
Singapore Post (SingPost) reported a 7.6% YoY rise in revenue to S$239.6m and a 7.3% increase in net profit to S$42.2m in 3QFY15, such that 9MFY15 revenue and net profit accounted for 75% and 77% of our full year estimates, respectively. Mail revenue fell 2.3% YoY to S$130.1m in 3QFY15, due to lower contributions from domestic and international mail; this despite a postage rate hike from Oct last year. Logistics revenue increased 20.7% YoY to S$122.1m, aided by positive contributions from new acquisitions. We understand that if the impact of the acquisitions were excluded, segment revenue would have been relatively flat. Retail & eCommerce saw a 1.3% rise in revenue in the quarter to S$22.9m.
Mail remains challenging
In the quarter, domestic mail revenue fell 1.7% YoY while international mail revenue declined 2.7% as the transshipment business becomes increasingly competitive with more commercial operators in the region. In the face of such competition, the group decided not to sacrifice margins for the sake of revenue. Meanwhile, Singapore, which is classified as an industrialized country by the Universal Postal Union, pays higher Terminal Dues (TDs) or settlement rates for delivery of outbound mail at country of destination. TDs have increased by up to 42.6% over the past years, and have been weighing on the international mail business.
To continue exploring opportunities
Looking ahead, the group plans to continue exploring investment opportunities in Asia Pacific as part of its growth strategy. It has been expanding its end-to-end eCommerce logistics solutions network in the region and investing in eCommerce logistics infrastructure, technology and capabilities. Meanwhile, SingPost also announced that it intends to redevelop the retail space in Singapore Post Centre. However details are scarce for now as the group has so far only appointed consultants to advise on such redevelopment. Rolling forward our valuations, our fair value estimate rises slightly from S$2.17 to S$2.19. Maintain BUY.
