Key retracement supports are from the 50%FR (38sen) and 38.2%FR (36sen). Asian Markets Rebound on Relief at North Korea Procrastination Asian stocks rose on Monday after North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un decided to hold a party over the weekend rather than launch another missile. Against expectations, North Korea didn’t conduct a weapons test on Saturday, when the country celebrated its founding day. A year earlier, Pyongyang conducted a nuclear test to mark the occasion. The United States and its allies had been bracing for another long-range missile launch in time for the 69th anniversary of North Korea’s founding last weekend. Investors were also remained cautious over the possible economic impact of Hurricane Irma as it chewed its way up the Florida coast, knocking out electricity to 3 million homes and businesses statewide. Japan’s Nikkei rallied to more than a one-week high after the dollar recovered against the yen, lifting recently battered exporters and financial stocks. The Nikkei share average rose 1.4 percent to 19,545.77, its best closing level since Sept. 1. In down Under, the S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.71 percent, with the information technology sub-index leading gains. Meanwhile, China stocks were steady on Monday, as investors cheered the government’s plan to look into banning petrol fuel cars while new central bank policies apparently aimed at taming rapid gains in the yuan were also in focus. The blue-chip CSI300 index was unchanged at 3,825.65 points, while the Shanghai Composite Index added 0.3 percent to 3,376.42 points. Page 1 of 7
  4. TA Securities 12-Sep-17 A Member of the TA Group S &P 500 Rallied to Record as Irma Threat Recedes The S&P 500 surged over 1 percent to a record high close on Monday as tropical storm Irma caused less damage than expected in Florida, and after North Korea did not test-fire missiles over the weekend, which some had feared. Irma caused severe flooding in many Florida cities and left more than 6 million homes and businesses without power, but damage appeared to be less than expected. That relieved investors, especially in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, whose devastation is estimated to dent third-quarter economic growth. Geopolitical tensions also eased after North Korea did not mark its founding day on Saturday with another launch of a long-range missile, which the United States and its allies had been bracing for. All 11 major S&P 500 sectors rose, led by financial stocks, with insurers advancing as Irma, once ranked as one of the most powerful hurricane recorded in the Atlantic, lost power. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 259.58 points, or 1.19 percent, to 22,057.37, the S&P 500 gained 26.68 points, or 1.08 percent, to 2,488.11 and the Nasdaq Composite added 72.07 points, or 1.13 percent, to 6,432.26.

  7. TA Securities 12-Sep-17 A Member of the TA Group News In Brief Economy Asia Malaysia ’s Industrial Output Grows in July 2017 Malaysia’s industrial output surged by 6.1% in July as all three major sub-sectors – manufacturing, mining and electricity – posted positive growth. The Statistics Department said growth was led by manufacturing (+8.0%), electricity (+7.9%) and mining (+0.2%). In the case of manufacturing, the expansion was mainly due to higher growth in major subsectors namely: electrical and electronics products (+10.5%); food, beverages and tobacco (+19.2%); and petroleum, chemical, rubber and plastic products (+3.9%). The mining sector output rose due to an increase in natural gas although the index for crude oil fell during the month. Meanwhile, Malaysia’s July manufacturing sales continued to record a strong growth of 22.2%, rising to RM63.9bn as compared to RM52.3bn reported a year ago. YoY, the significant increase in sales value in July 2017 was due to the increase in E&E products (27.6%), petroleum, chemical, rubber and plastic products (+24.0%) and nonmetallic mineral products, basic metal and fabricated metal products (+10.2%). These three sub-sectors contributed 80.4% to the sales value of the manufacturing sector. (New Straits Times) Other news in Malaysia • The Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Ministry will impose a minimum 30% quota for bumiputra importers to break the beef import monopoly. Its Deputy Minister, Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman, said the requirement would also be imposed on two abattoirs in India, which had received approval to export beef to Malaysia to ensure bumiputra participation in the beef import business. (The Star) • Malaysia’s business events industry is expected to generate more than RM3.9bil in gross national income and bring in 2.9 million visitors by 2020, said Tourism and Culture Minister, Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz. He said the industry would also offer 16,720 jobs and last year alone, 5.1% of tourist arrivals came from business event visitors. (The Star) Singapore Business Sentiment for Q4 2017 Moderates but Still Optimistic Business sentiment for the fourth quarter of 2017 has moderated somewhat although it remains optimistic, according to the latest survey by the Singapore Commercial Credit Bureau (SCCB).

(RTT News) Weak Liquidity Still a Concern for Many Firms in Asia, Says Moody's Weak liquidity is still a concern for many companies in Asia though Moody's Investors Service's Asian Liquidity Stress Index (Asian LSI) showed an improvement in August. The ratings agency said its Asian LSI improved in August, decreasing to 26.8% from 28.5% in July 2017. The Asian LSI measures the percentage of high-yield companies with SGL-4 scores as a proportion of high-yield corporate family ratings (CFRs) and decreases when speculative-grade liquidity improves. A Moody's vice-president and senior credit officer Brian Grieser said the reading remained above the long-term average of 23.0%, highlighting that weak liquidity is still a concern for many companies in Asia. Moody's analysis is contained in its just-released monthly report titled "Asian Liquidity Stress Index: Asian LSI decreases to 26.8% in August from 28.5% in July". The Moody's report points out the liquidity stress sub-index for North Asian high-yield companies decreased to 25.0% in August from 27.6% in July. Within this portfolio, the Chinese subindex decreased to 25.6% from 28.6%. Meanwhile, the Chinese high-yield property subindex decreased to 9.5% from 9.8%, and the Chinese high-yield industrials sub-index decreased to 44.4% from 50%. As for South and Southeast Asian high-yield companies the liquidity stress sub-index for remained at 30%, while the Indonesian sub-index remained at 26.1%. (The Star) Europe and United Kingdom ECB's Coeure Warns Persistent Euro Gains May Weigh on Inflation European Central Bank Executive Board member Benoit Coeure warned that the rising euro could depress inflation unless it’s offset by a strengthening economy, bolstering the case for keeping monetary policy loose for an extended period. “Exogenous shocks to the exchange rate, if persistent, can lead to an unwarranted tightening of financial conditions with undesirable consequences for the inflation outlook,” Coeure said in Frankfurt. “Against this background, the recent volatility in the exchange rate represents a source of uncertainty which requires monitoring.” The euro’s surge has become an additional headache for the ECB as policy makers try to determine the future of their bond-buying program, which is currently scheduled to expire by the end of this year. President Mario Draghi warned last week that officials were watching the currency after it gained 14% against the dollar this year and forced the central bank to cut its inflation projection. Coeure said that while there is no immediate cause for concern, as the 19-nation bloc’s improving economy allows companies to raise prices to offset the dampening effect of the exchange rate, there is reason for watchfulness. (Bloomberg) UK Consumers Spend a Bit More in August, 2017 Still Seen Weak British consumers stepped up their domestic spending last month for the first time since April, as more of them holidayed at home due to the Brexit hit to the pound, payment card company Visa said. But Visa said this year still looks like being the weakest for spending since 2013, as households struggle with rising inflation in the wake of last year's referendum decision to leave the European Union and weak wage growth. Consumer spending, the engine of the British economy, last month rose 0.3% compared with August 2016 on an inflation-adjusted basis, Visa said based on its credit and debit card transaction Page 6 of 7
  9. TA Securities 12-Sep-17 A Member of the TA Group data . In July spending fell 0.8% YoY, and in August spending on transport and communications fell for the eighth consecutive month as Britons shied away from big-ticket items such as car purchases and air travel, Visa said. But consumers were paying more to have fun, probably reflecting the growing number of people taking their holidays in Britain due to the fall in the value of sterling since the Brexit vote, Visa said. The rise in inflation caused by the weaker pound has weighed on British consumer spending since early 2017, leaving the Bank of England hoping that a pickup in exports and investment might offset the hit to the broader economy.

RAMLEE, 50250 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA TEL: +603-20721277 / FAX: +603-20325048 Bermaz Auto Berhad Poised for a Comeback TP: RM2.40(+12.1%) Last Traded: RM2.14 BUY THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* Abel Goon Tel: +603-2072 1277 ext.1641 abelgoon@ta.com.my Review Bermaz Auto Bhd (BAuto) registered weaker 1QFY18 core net profit of RM20.2mn (QoQ: -9.0%, YoY: -50.8%) due to 1) higher taxation and interest cost and 2) weaker contributions from associates. Core net profit constitutes 11% and 11% of ours and consensus’ estimates which we deem to be within expectations. This is because we are expecting major earnings growth in the following quarters underpinned by 1) launch of new CX-5 (Oct) and 2) ramp up of exports and production, which would boost associates contributions. We note that EBIT margin expanded slightly QoQ due to better product mix, but was lower YoY due to sales incentives to clear the old CX-5 model. To recap, the new CX-5 will be launched in Oct-17, and is expected to boost sales volumes significantly. Note that the CX-5 is BAuto’s top selling model and boasts lucrative margins. Revenue in FY17 was down 20.7% YoY, which is in-line with the decline in sales volume by 21.4% YoY. However, revenue increased by 10.5% QoQ, which is in-line with prevailing industry trends, where sales is seasonally weaker in the first quarter of each year. Associates contribution fell substantially in 1QFY18 (QoQ: -88.3%, YoY: >100%) which was rather surprising. That said, we believe this was a oneoff event and unlikely to persist going forward. According to management, MMSB’s sales was only 1,813 units (1Q17: 3,559, 4Q17: 4,913) due to weaker demand from the CX-5 run-out programme, and ageing Mazda 3 model. Nevertheless, management expects sales to normalize in 2QFY18, followed by a huge jump in 3QFY18 on the back of full quarter contribution from the new CX-5. BAuto declared first interim dividend of 1.5 sen for 4QFY17, which implies payout ratio of 86% for the full year. We expect BAuto to pay out good dividends given low capex requirements and a large cashpile. Impact After accounting for annual audited figures, we tweak our earnings by 1.4%/1.0%/1.0% for FY18-20. Outlook We expect FY18 to be a significantly better year for BAuto with total sales volume growth of 20%. This is underpinned by the new CX-5 launch in 2QFY18, which has received many positive reviews. On the other hand, the persistently high JPY/MYR rate will continue to weigh on BAuto’s input costs, and hence impact earnings negatively. That said, the JPY/MYR rate has trended down in recent months. Going forward, we expect BAuto to continue paying out generous dividends. This is underpinned by 1) subdued capex requirements, 2) large cash pile of circa RM200mn and 3) special dividend arising from the listing of its Philippines division.

RAMLEE, 50250 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA TEL: +603-20721277 / FAX: +603-20325048 Ibraco Berhad TP: RM0.94 (+6.8%) Last traded: RM0.88 Expanding Presence in the Klang Valley Hold THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY Thiam Chiann Wen Tel: +603-2167 9615 cwthiam@ta.com.my Buys Land in Petaling Jaya Selatan Ibraco has entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Milan Sanctuary S/B and Jurapat S/B for the acquisition of 4 parcels of leasehold land in Petaling Jaya Selatan, totaling 15,811.66 square metres (sqm) for RM37.4mn (or RM220.55psf). The proposed acquisition is expected to be completed by 3Q18. The Land is Slated for Mixed Commercial Development Located in Bandar Petaling Jaya Selatan and fronting onto Baru Pantai Highway, the land is approved for a mixed commercial development. According to the announcement, the land is granted with Development Order (DO) by Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya dated 11 November 2011 for mixed commercial development. However, the group intends to apply for variation/new DO in due course. As such, the gross development value (GDV) and gross development costs for the proposed development to be undertaken on this land has yet to be determined, as the project development plan is still at a preliminary stage. www.taonline.com.my Stock Return Information KLCI 1,782.74 Expected Share Price Return (%) 6.8 Expected Dividend Return (%) 4.3 Expected Total Return (%) 11.1 Share Information Bloomberg Code IBRA MK Stock Code 5084 Listing Main Market Issued Share (mn) 496.4 Market Cap (RMmn) 436.8 Par Value (RM) 0.5 52-wk Hi/Lo (RM) 1.05/0.76 Estimated Free Float (%) 12.2 Beta (x) 0.5 3-Month Average Volume ('000) Based on the initial plan, the land will be developed into a mixed development, comprising serviced apartments and retail units. We understand that the land comes with an approved plot ratio of 4.0 times. Assuming an efficiency ratio of 75% and average selling price of RM600-700psf, the land could potentially generate a GDV of RM306mn – RM357mn. 55.5 Top 3 Shareholders (%) Chew Chiaw Han 26.3 Sharifah Deborah 20.0 Ng Cheng Chuan 17.5 Share Performance (%) Acquisition Cost deemed Reasonable As far as the acquisition cost is concerned, we note there are no similar land deals for direct comparison. Meanwhile, commercial land in Petaling Jaya Selatan is currently asking for RM250psf, based on iProperty.com. Therefore, we believe the acquisition cost of RM220.55psf is fair. Furthermore, based on our GDV estimation, the land cost to GDV ratio is 11-12%, which we deem reasonable. Net Gearing to Rise to 0.51x Based on the group’s net debt level of RM154mn or net gearing ratio of 0.40x as at Jun-17, this land acquisition would increase Ibraco’s net gearing to approximately 0.51x, assuming the purchase consideration will be satisfied wholly in cash from internally generated funds of 30% and the remaining 70% via bank borrowings. We believe there is no imminent need of fresh cash for this acquisition as management has indicated that it is comfortable with a net gearing level of below 0.6x. Neutral on the Acquisition We consider this as a timely acquisition to replenish the group’s land bank in the Klang Valley. To recap, the group’s first and only project outside its home base in Sarawak, namely, the Continew KL (GDV: RM465mn), has recorded a satisfactory take up rate of 48% since its official launch in Feb-17. Nevertheless, we are neutral on this acquisition as we understand that the project is still in a very preliminary stage and immediate launch is unlikely.

Also, management attributed the strong growth to visa relaxation for India and China and favourable exchange rates too. On the other hand, the domestic passenger movement increased by only 1.8% YoY (2.0% MoM) to 3.4mn and we attribute this to high-base effect (see Figure 4).

This has been seen in Aug-17 figures where the growth in the domestic segment has slowed down to 1.8%. The international segment would likely feel the high base impact in September after the closing of Sea Games in Aug-17. Note that 4Q16 passenger movement grew 11.2% YoY to 23.8mn led by international passengers, which increased 12.6% YoY to 11.6mn. This growth was incentivised by poor ringgit performance in 4Q16 against USD (4.3238), THB (0.1221) and IDR (0.0326 for 100). For 2018, the operating environment is expected to remain rosy supported by additional capacity from AirAsia. The 14th general election in Malaysia is a wild card, which could boost passenger movement higher. Forecast No change to our FY17-19 earnings projections. We maintain our FY17 passenger growth assumption of 6.7% (management forecast: 6.5%) for Malaysian operations and 7.2% (management forecast: 7.2%) for Istanbul operations. Valuation We maintain our DCF valuation at RM8.10/share based on a discount rate of 11.7%. The stock is currently trading at an expensive forward PE of 64x, which we believe it has priced in the positive catalysts including earnings recovery, concession extension, possible sale of minority stake in ISG and special dividend.

The overall index came in at 133.5 in July 2017, the highest level last seen since November 2016. Total output registered a substantial yearly growth of 6.1% in July 2017, which was above June’s 4.0% YoY as well as consensus estimate of 5.1% YoY. On a monthly seasonally adjusted basis, overall output also increased by 1.3% from June 2017, due to better growth performance of manufacturing and electricity output, which increased 1.4% MoM and 5.5% MoM, respectively. Figure 1: Summary of IPI (February 2017 – July 2017) (2010=100) 2016 Feb-17 Mar-17 Apr-17 May-17 Jun-17 Jul-17 7M17 IPI Mining Electricity Manufacturing Manufacturing Sales Value 3.8% 1.6% 8.5% 4.3% 1.3% 4.7% 0.4% 1.5% 6.5% 15.7% 6.1% 0.2% 7.9% 8.0% 22.2% 4.5% 0.3% 1.9% 6.2% 15.4% 4.6% 2.0% -0.2% 5.9% 13.6% 4.2% -2.0% -1.5% 6.7% 15.6% 4.6% -2.3% 2.5% 7.3% 19.5% 4.0% 2.4% 2.1% 4.7% 11.5% Sources: Department of Statistics, TA Securities • Manufacturing posted the highest pace of growth in 3 years For the past few months, manufacturing output (65.9% of total IPI) growth has remained steady, registering consistently above last year average growth of 4.3% YoY, following the improvement from both external (mainly E&E) and domestic demand. In July 2017, manufacturing sector recorded a growth of 8.0% YoY, the highest growth since June 2014. In seasonally adjusted terms, it grew by 1.4% MoM. - Output of export-oriented industries (47.4% of total IPI) rose by 6.6% YoY (June 2017: +5.4% YoY) boosted by higher growth E&E output of 10.5% YoY. Details showed that the sub-components of manufacture of computer, electronics & optical products rose by 10.9% YoY (June 2017: +8.7% YoY); manufacture of electrical equipment increased by 9.8% YoY (June 2017: +7.3% YoY); and manufacture of machinery & equipment registered an increase of 7.8% YoY (June 2017: +5.2% YoY). The gain in the manufacturing sector was also due to higher output of resource based products. For instance, production of wood and petroleum products remained strong and recorded a same growth of 3.9% YoY. - Production of domestic-oriented industries also gained higher during the month, benefited from higher output of food, beverages & tobacco products with a double digit growth of 19.2% YoY (June 2017: +6.7% YoY). We believe this was due to the higher demand as a result of festive season during the month. Additionally, production of nonmetallic mineral products, basic metal & fabricated metal products rose by 7.6% YoY while transport equipment & other manufactures rebounded to 6.8% YoY in July 2017 from 1.0% YoY contraction in June 2017, underpinned by higher output of manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers & semi-trailers (July 2017: +5.9% YoY; June 2017: -6.6% YoY). As a result, output growth of domestic-oriented industries (18.5% of total IPI) quadrupled to 11.2% YoY in July 2017 as compared to 2.6% YoY in the prior month. Page 1 of 3
