Thai Beverage PLC A slow start
▪ Results were within expectations. 1Q25 revenue/EBITDA were 25/30% of our forecasts. Due to poor performance in spirits, we expect PATMI to be below estimates. ▪ Spirits is 48% of EBITDA and a much larger 75% of PATMI due to the high minority stake and interest expense of the beer business. Spirits volume declined 6.2% YoY in 1Q25, the weakest in 8 quarters. We believe this is in part due to overstocking in the prior quarter

Civmec (CIVMEC SP) 1HFY25: Results Below Expectations; Soft Outlook In The Near Term
But Positive In The Medium Term Civmec’s 1HFY25 earnings of A$27m (-17% yoy) missed our expectation, making up 40% of our full-year estimate. This was due to a weaker-than-expected net margin, from startup costs for its equipment manufacturing business and lower operating leverage. Civmec expects softness in the near term as project approvals have slowed down ahead of the Australian election. However, tendering activities remain strong and medium-term indications are positive. Downgrade to HOLD with a 30% lower target price of S$0.98.

PREIT provides a bastion of defensive strength supported by its healthcare orientation, long WALE of 15.3 years and low aggregate leverage of 34.8%. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$4.85.

Thai Beverage (THBEV SP) 1QFY25: Results In Line As Beer And NAB Outperform; Spirits Underperform
THBEV released its 1QFY25 business update whereby overall revenue grew 2.4% yoy, driven by the beer and NAB segments. However, 1QFY25 EBITDA decreased slightly by 0.8% yoy, dragged by the spirits segment on lower sales volumes and rising costs. Both the beer and NAB segments posted robust results on strong growth in key markets and ongoing cost efficiencies. In our view, THVBEV is trading at an attractive -1.5SD to its mean PE. Maintain BUY with the same SOTP-based target price of S$0.56.
