Duty Free International: International partnership boost

Duty Free International (DFIL) is one of the largest duty free trading groups in Malaysia with more than 40 retail outlets nationwide. It also owns more than 700 acres of land near the Malaysia-Thailand border at Bukit Kayu Hitam which includes the 18-hole Black Forest Golf and Country Club and an oil palm plantation.



DFIL recently sold 10% of its wholly owned duty-free retail subsidiary, DFZ Capital Bhd for EUR19.7m to Heinemann Asia Pacific (one of the largest duty free operators in Europe). Heinemann’s investment in DFZ Capital signifies the start of its strategic partnership with DFIL, where it aims to 1) maximise product margins and range, and 2) transfer know-how of global travel retail business.

 

Through better execution, we expect better cost management and efficiencies to kick in and improve margins going forward.

We value DFIL at 20x FY18F PE, which is within peer average and 1x PEG. Fair value works out to S$0.52 per share, which translates to a 23% upside from the current price.

Best World International: TP raised to S$2.05 

Best World's stellar growth has mostly been driven by Taiwan, where sales grew 276% yoy in 1H16. Management highlighted that the key drivers were 1) increased product acceptance, 2) a new lifestyle centre in Kaohsiung and 3) its new online store.

Manufacturing facility in Singapore to be up by 2H17 Management also said that sales have now reached a scale large enough to justify maintaining its own facility. Further, it would allow it to better manage the back-end supply and quality. It is also important that the facility is located in Singapore and not a cheaper low-cost country as its internal studies show that consumers rank Singapore highly on quality perception.

China direct selling plans on schedule
Management also said that the company is on track to complete setting up the requisite nine service centres in Hangzhou city by end-16. Following which, the company will convert its export model to a direct selling model. Taiwan currently makes up 68% of the group’s revenue but we expect China to eventually overtake Taiwan.

We therefore raise our TP to S$2.05, now based on 16.1x CY17 P/E (12.4x previously). Reiterate Add. Key risks include regulatory changes and a drop in sales in key markets.

The buildings comprise of four single-storey blocks of multi-tenanted warehouses with mezzanine offices and is 100% leased with a remaining WALE of 1.8 years.

Our view
The acquisition size although small (<1% total asset value) is positive as it provides MLT with a direct exposure to growing demand of Vietnam's warehousing and logistics facilites. Post-acquisition, Vietnam market will account for nearly 1.9% of total contribution (1.2% previously). We maintain our Neutral recommendation with TP of SGD 0.89.

ISDN Holdings: Attractive Risk-Reward Profile Deserves Attention

Since the submission of its application proof to the Hong Kong stock exchange (HKSE) on 13 September, ISDN’s share price has recovered by just 1.2 cents to S$0.183 last Friday.

ISDN trades at an attractive 50% discount from its NAV per share as of 30 June.

Its current share price may not have fully factored a) any earnings recovery in 2017 and b) any successful dual listing in 4Q 2016 or 2017.


Our basis for earnings growth stems from:
1) higher orders from smartphone clients as they prepare for their next series of new products
2) initial contribution from mini hydropower projects
3) lower financing costs following the repayment of debt post-dual listing
4) lower FX losses which amounted to S$0.9m in 1H16.


Maintain Overweight (high-average return / moderate risk).
