1Q22 results in line, retain Buy with unchanged TP
ComfortDelgro’s (CDG) 1Q22 headline PATMI of SGD76.7m (+30.4% YoY) was boosted by a one-off exceptional gain of SGD37.2m on disposal of its Alperton property in London. Excluding non-recurring items and government relief, we deem core operating profit of SGD64.6m (+25.7% YoY) - or c.23%/22% of MIBG/consensus full year estimates to be broadly within expectation. We expect CDG to show sequential growth with relaxation of Covid-19 restrictions and border reopenings from late Apr 2022. Retain Buy with a DCF-based TP of SGD1.76 (WACC: 8.3%, LTG: 1%).
