    IDEA OF THE DAY | South Korea Strategy Flash Note - Quest for income in Korea | P5 We believe Korean governments new economic policies should bode well for a market re-rating as they address the age-old issue of Korea Inc. -the lack of dividends. While corporate inertia and resistance are expected in the near-term, follow-up measures by the government should be tailwind for investors quest for income in Korea. We maintain our CY14 KOSPI target of 2,100 based on 1.04x 2015F P/BV against an ROE of 9.4%, with the main concerns still being a negative earnings revision cycle. However, we may see further upside to our target, if 1) corporate response to the governments policy changes comes through earlier than expected; and/or 2) we see higher visibility on the effectiveness of policies that will force the companies to improve their capital management.

    SOUTH KOREA STRATEGY FLASH NOTE

    Quest for income in Korea We believe Korean governments new economic policies should bode well for a market re-rating as they address the age-old issue of Korea Inc. -the lack of dividends. While corporate inertia and resistance are expected in the near-term, follow-up measures by the government should be tailwind for investors quest for income in Korea.

    We maintain our CY14 KOSPI target of 2,100 based on 1.04x 2015F P/BV against an ROE of 9.4%, with the main concerns still being a negative earnings revision cycle. However, we may see further upside to our target, if 1) corporate response to the governments policy changes comes through earlier than expected; and/or 2) we see higher visibility on the effectiveness of policies that will force the companies to improve their capital management.

    What Happened The Korean government is introducing policy measures encouraging corporates to have more efficient balance sheets. The new policies offer incentives, as well as penalties, guiding companies to: 1) pay out more dividends (to increase income); 2) increase salaries (more direct help with higher household income); or 3) increase domestic investments (circulate cash within the local economy), which could ultimately lead to the income flow from corporates to households.

    What We Think The economic stimulus packages and corporate governance reform plans point towards a shared objective to break Koreas vicious cycle that began following the Asian crisis., in our view. We believe that the recent measures are a prelude to more policies that is likely to be implemented to bolster household income and circulate money within the domestic economy.

    We expect KOSPI could reach over 2,500 by end-2015 if Koreas payout ratio is doubled by 2016 to 30%, in-line with the MSCI Asia ex Japan index. We think that higher dividend yields alone can lead to significant upside to KOSPIs P/BV that could raise the valuation multiple by 11%. MSCI Korea trades at a 17% discount to MSCI Asia ex Japan, and we expect the Korea discount could be largely resolved if the Korean firms act in favour of shareholders returns.

    What You Should Do In the near term, play the potential for dividends via companies with high owner stakes that are already paying out decent yields (Figure 44) as we expect the governments tax benefit on dividend income to bode well for higher dividend payout for these companies. We need evidence on the effectiveness of the corporate tax law revisions in the longer term but we expect dividend upsides in the banking, auto, construction and telco sectors (Figure 35).

    A gloomy season in the horizon? We see signs of some technical damage on the US DJIA but Asia continues to look strong for now. The DJIA continues to face a major long-term resistance trendline since 2000, currently at 16,800pts. Seasonally, Aug and Sep are usually difficult months for global equity markets. It might not be any different this year. The US S&P500 VIX and the US dollar are showing signs of breaking out of their consolidation phase since the start of the year.

    Technical damage on US DJIA Last month was mixed for the US and regional equity markets. While the MSCI Asia ex-Japan Index (MAxJ) was up 3.2% mom, the US S&P500 was down 1.5%. What is of concern is the technical damage on the US Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), which broke below its major support trendline for the first time since end-2012. In addition, the DJIA also failed to overcome its major long-term resistance trendline since 2000. The current long-term resistance trendline for the DJIA is at 16,800.

    Asia is still up Asias equity market has been resilient in the past month. Our wave count for the MSCI Asia ex-Japan Index (MAxJ) show the Index taking a little longer than expected to complete its uptrend leg since the Feb 2014 low. If we are right, the MAxJ would soon complete the minor wave 5 up leg first before we see some signs of correction for this market. We could see a top for the MAXJ sometime this month.

    Difficult months ahead? The next 1-2 months could be difficult for global equity markets. Seasonally, Aug and Sep are generally negative months for both the US and regional equity markets. Other negative months include May and Jun. Jul is a seasonally positive month for equity markets but it was not so for US equity markets last month.

While we find the outcome somewhat surprising, given the FDAs cautious stance, and note the agency will have the final say if the product is greenlighted or not, the panels favourable vote increasing the likelihood for approval and with it, sees downside risk for CSLs market dominance in the space. We make no changes to our estimates or SOP-based price target of A$67.50 at this time pending further insights into HyQvias future.

    What Happened The FDAs Blood Products Advisory Committee (BPAC) has voted 15-1 in favour of a positive risk/benefit profile of HyQvia, Baxters subcutaneous (sub-Q) immunoglobulin (Ig) product that incorporates recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20), which facilitates dispersion and absorption allowing for once-monthly dosing. The advisors viewed FDA main concerns over the potential impact of anti-rHuPH20 antibodies on reproduction, development and fertility as theoretical and voted against requiring monitoring of antibody levels and saw no need to restrict the availability of the product to patient subgroups (ie pregnant women, male children and those with inflammatory disorders). The FDA will take the BPAC recommendation under consideration and make a final ruling on whether HyQvia should be commercialised in 3Q14.

    What We Think We view the BPAC ruling as somewhat of a surprise, given the cautious nature of FDA panel briefing documents outlining the unknown, long-term risk associated with antibodies to rHuPR20. Nevertheless, with a unanimous vote in favour of approval and with no need to monitor patients for antibody levels or restrict the label to patient subgroups, we view a high likelihood of approval. While it is difficult to determine the impact on CSLs sub-Q product Hizentra at this early stage and we believe HyQvias label may be the most important determinant of uptake and patient switching if the product is approved, our prior DCF-based scenario analysis points to downside risk of between 5-10%.

    What You Should Do With CSLs dominance in the sub-Q space under threat, the risk appears to the downside with little buffer seen in current trading levels (forward PE of 20.4x).

    The Aus & NZ roll-up continues PGH has agreed to acquire of Sulo Group, a manufacturer of recycling and waste bins in Australia and New Zealand, for A$35m. While Asia has been identified as a growth opportunity for the group, the transaction demonstrates to us further opportunities in the core Australian and New Zealand markets. Importantly, management anticipates an ROI of >20% by year three. In our view, this highlights PGHs disciplined acquisition and execution approach. Add rating retained.

    We believe the transaction will be EPS neutral in FY15, the first year of acquisition. However, with scope for synergies and PGHs record with integrations, we believe profitability should improve. We have upgraded our FY16 and FY17 earnings forecasts by 1% and 2%, respectively. As a result of this, we have increased our blended valuation by 2% to A$4.19 per share.

    Further opportunities in ANZ Sulo Group is a manufacturer of plastic waste and recycling bins in Australia and New Zealand, servicing local government and waste collection companies. In FY14, the business generated turnover of ~A$48m. As indicated by PGH, the acquired businesses are complementary to its existing sustainability, materials handling and infrastructure divisions. While synergy expectations were not specifically disclosed, we believe this should provide scope for synergy benefits. We believe the transaction will be EPS neutral in FY15 and accretive thereafter as profitability converges to that of existing businesses. Importantly,

    the transaction also demonstrates further acquisition opportunities in ANZ, which has been a key part of PGHs growth strategy for over a decade.

    Discipline evident The targeted return of 20% by year three is consistent with hurdles set by domestic listed packaging peers. While delivery is critical, the target provides further evidence of discipline ahead of any potential acquisition of Dynapack a key milestone for potential investors.

    Add retained We retain our Add rating, highlighting 13% potential upside to our valuation and an attractive FY15F dividend yield of 6%. We acknowledge concerns about related-party arrangements and acquisition risk, coupled with the likely need for an equity issue. However, we believe a Dynapack transaction would likely address these concerns, removing a material overhang and providing a re-rating towards our fundamental valuation.

    4Q softness - its due to timing Financial results were below expectations as volumes were negatively impacted by changing order patterns for certain US customers and recent price adjustments. While the operating environment remains challenging, the main issues appear to be more about timing than underlying fundamentals, with offsets and a robust product pipeline helping to steady our confidence in the restoration of sales growth and earnings momentum. We lower our FY15-16 profit estimates by up to 2%, with our DCF/PE/SOP-based target price declining to A$5.92. We maintain our Add rating.

    US buying patterns distort the true picture Adjusted net profit of US$92m (+1%; ex-US$6.3m restructuring charge) was weaker than expected on modest sales growth (-1% in cc; US$415.2m), impacted mainly by changing US customer ordering patterns and the new 3Q pricing structure, seeing sales declines in Americas of US$214.9m (-7% yoy), for flow generators (US$99.3m, -5%) and masks (US$115.6m, -8%), partially offset by ROW sales (US$200.3m, +5% in cc; masks, US$64m, 4% in cc; flow generators, US$136m, +6% in cc). Higher opex (US$154m,+5.2%; including cUS$4m in legal expenses) limited EBIT gains (US$104.8m, +9.1% yoy; +0.1% qoq) and margin uplift (-150bp yoy; -110bp qoq to 25.2%). OCF and cash conversion improved qoq (14.3% to US$115.6m; 91%, +8pts), supporting a dividend of 28cps (+12%).

    Its timingnot fundamentals While 3Q14 price adjustments continue to flow through, we note gross margins held up fairly well (62.9%, -40bp qoq vs 3Q14 -140bp, 63.3%), at the top of managements guidance range (61-63%). While acknowledging support via product mix shift, manufacturing efficiencies and FX, we view the modest margin decline as reflecting a stable pricing environment and take comfort with management acknowledging that the bulk of price adjustments has likely occurred and the product portfolio is stronger than ever, with sales weakness more a function of purchase timing as opposed to a more concerning fundamental issue in the volume/pricing dynamic.

    Market reaction is overdone With the shares trading at a forward PE of 17.2x (five-year average 19.4x) and a strong net cash position of US$605m, we believe the risk/return is favourable.

    Aluminium earnings in focus In RIOs 1H14 result, we expect the aluminium division to demonstrate further margin expansion driven by both higher ASPs and lower unit costs, while earnings growth may be muted due to lower sales volumes than in previous periods. The blight on the division remains the capital cost overrun at the Canadian Kitimat aluminium smelter, the extent of which we expect the company to update at the 1H14 results. While an allowance for a capital overrun has been made in the companys 2014 US$12bn capex estimate, we expect the market to react negatively if this allowance is revealed as inadequate. We reiterate our Add recommendation with a target price of US$84.00.

    While average spot LME aluminium prices have fallen in 1H14 to US$1,795/t compared to an average of US$1,887/t in 2013, premiums in key regions have risen by 27-68%. On balance, we expect RIOs aluminium ASP to increase 2% in 1H14 compared to 2013, while we estimate costs will fall 4-5% in its Primary Metals division to around US$1,650/t following an 11% fall in unit costs in 2013 compared to 2012.

    Aluminium looking brighter With stronger bauxite and aluminium prices going into 2H14, the full-year earnings and outlook for the aluminium division looks increasingly attractive after a multi-year period of write-downs post the 2007 Alcan acquisition. In 2015, we forecast an aluminium division EBITDA of

    US$3.2bn compared to RIO-compiled consensus of US$2.2m in May 2014.

    Kitimat capex blowout A blow out in the original Kitimat capex of US$3.3bn was first revealed in the 2013 results, when a US$750m pre-tax impairment was made. The company expects to update the market on the extent of the final cost overrun at the 1H14 results.

    Write-downs at OT? While the recently announced sale of its Mozambique assets for US$50m will crystallise this cash loss for the group in 2014, we believe the real concern with regard to write-downs in 1H14 remains the Mongolian Oyu Tolgoi project, which is capitalised on RIOs balance sheet at US$8.4bn at 31 December 2013 and has been plagued by ongoing delays over the past six months.

    AUSTRALIA STRATEGY

    Monthly Market Review July 2014 Analysts earnings expectations have taken a step down into the FY14 reporting season following the hit to confidence after the Federal budget, the resiliently high AUD and declining commodity prices. Despite this the Australian market continued to be buoyed by improving global growth in the US and China, with growth in the two major economies surprising positively in July. Geopolitical risks have so far taken a back seat but further escalation in the growing number of conflict areas may quickly reverse the positive trend.

Sales were weak, coming in at US$415.2m (-1% yoy in cc) vs cons US$436m (CIMB US$428m) as the sales in the Americas continue to be impacted by the challenging operational environment, US$214.9m (-7% yoy) while ROW sales were S$200.3m (+9% yoy; +5% in cc).

    ERA reported 1H14 NPAT of a loss of A$127.2m, within its guidance range of A$120m-140m. Uranium oxide sales were well above our expectation at 1,524t versus our estimate of 1,000t, while the average realised price was below at US$46.65/lb versus our estimate of US$52/lb. FY14 production guidance of 1-1.5kt of uranium oxide was maintained. The company also guided to second-half sales broadly similar to those in 1HCY14. The key value driver remains Ranger 3 Deeps project, for which the exploration decline and related studies remain on schedule (as confirmed by the company), with completion due in late 2014.

    After a strong first quarter, OceanaGold has delivered a June quarter that, although guided lower, has probably surprised to the downside. In our view, the company remains on track for 2014, as we expect increased throughput and higher grades at Didipio to offset a weaker performance from the NZ operations. OceanaGold reported a net profit for 1H14 of US$56.8m vs our US$77.5m forecast, the difference attributable to lower production and higher costs during the June quarter.

    Growth expectations brought back to earth for third-tier cities COGOs 22% decline in 1H14 core earnings to 41% of our FY14 estimate is in line with our results preview estimate. However, COGO has guided down the outlook by lowering its sales target from HK$23bn to HK$18bn, which is only marginally higher yoy. Management also thinks that the long-term GPM in third-tier cities could normalise from 30%+ to 20%+. The slower sales pace and gradually falling GPM prompt us to cut FY14-16 EPS by 12-21%. Amid the sector rally, the stock has rebounded 50%+ from the bottom in May 2014. We downgrade it from Add to Hold while widening the target RNAV discount from 40% to 50%. We see upside risk from potential stake increases by its parent from 38% to 50%+ amid stock price dip or any potential benefit from asset injections.

    Normalised expectations for third-tier cities The slow sales in 1H14 were attributed to the lacklustre sales in third-tier cities in Yangtze River Delta and Hohhot this year. The company has withdrawn its previous guidance of 30% sales and earnings CAGR. We think that it is more realistic to expect steady growth in the longer term, i.e. more than 10%, for COGO in third-tier cities. We expect sales to improve in 2H with more launches and better market sentiment on the back of HPR easing in third-tier cities such as Hohhot and Nanning where COGO has exposure.

    Margin trending down, particularly in third-tier cities COGOs GPM declined from 33% in FY13 to 29% in 1H14, lower than our previous estimate of 30.5% for FY14. Management expects general downward pressure on margins in the sector and thinks that a reasonable margin in third-tier cities is 20%+ rather than 30%. We expect GPM to be 28% in FY14. Our GPM estimates of 27.9% for FY15 and 31.7% for FY16 are partially supported by bookings for the high-end Beijing Tonghui River Project.

    Control over net gearing We expect its net gearing to improve from 67% in 1H14 to 63% at end-2014 with slowdown of land purchases and construction and the ramp-up of sales.

    Asset injection is a catalyst in 2H 1H14s core profit was largely in line at 46% of our full-year forecast as we expect stronger 2H earnings to be backed by its high sales revenue lock-in. But we trim our FY15-16 GPM estimates by about 1-2% and, accordingly, revise down our FY15-16 earnings by 6-8%. COLI will speed up its contracted sales in 2H in light of its abundant saleable resources. We also think it is one of the major beneficiaries from the HPR easing given its heavy exposure in these areas. We foresee the parents asset injections happening in 2H. We maintain our Add call with a higher target price as we narrow the target discount to RNAV from 10% to 5% to reflect the potential catalyst from asset injections.

    Cant exclude the likelihood of asset injections in near future It has been one year since Aug 2013 when COLI said it would acquire its parent companys real estate assets. Part of the parents real estate projects have already been entrusted to COLIs management since Jan 2014. COLIs cash on hand increased by 20% to HK$50bn in 1H14, so it is financially well prepared for the asset injection. According to CSCECLs operation report in 1H14, the parent companys other landbank (excluding COLI) could be up to 22.5m sq m Currently, CSCECL is trading at 4.6x FY13 P/E and 0.8x FY13 P/BV, much lower than COLIs current 10x FY13 P/E and 1.8 FY13 P/BV. We think that potential asset injections are likely to be RNAV-accretive for COLI.

    Expect 2H contracted sales to improve COLI is still keeping its full-year saleable resources unchanged at HK$220bn. We project contracted sales increasing by more than 10% to HK$155bn-160bn in 2014, implying a sell-through rate of slightly above 70%, vs. over 75% in 2013. COLI is one of major beneficiaries of the HPR easing in China given its heavy exposure in these areas (68% of RNAV, excluding tier-1 cities).

    GPM should stay decent COLI reported a 1H14 GPM of 33.6%. However, excluding the impact of sales recognition from social housing and repurchase of three JCE projects, GPM for its regular projects should have been 35.8%. As bookings for the low-margin projects were almost at the tail end in 1H14, we expect GPM to improve slightly in 2H, and full-year GPM to reach 34.2% in FY14 We conservatively estimate a mild decline for margins to 32.7% in FY15, and 33.3% in FY16.

    Europe is now a helping hand HWLs 1H14 core net profit of HK$13.5bn represented 40% of our previous FY14 forecast, and was broadly in line with expectations as this is consistent with trends in previous years. Earnings were powered by better retail profit, while property development was a large drag. Growth of 13% yoy in 1H14 was slower than that observed in FY13. We believe that HWLs European operations will help to drive continued growth in the near term, especially as the continents growth accelerates. Maintain Add. We value HWL at a 15% discount to NAV. Our earnings forecasts are reduced by 2-9% for FY14/15, largely due to weaker property assumptions for sales in the Mainland.

    European operations now more resilient HWL disclosed that 1H14 EBIT growth of 3% was heavily driven by its European businesses. HWLs EBIT in Europe improved by 18% yoy, whereas non-Europe EBIT fell by 4% yoy. Admittedly, this difference was distorted by the strength of the euro and pound in the half, but underlying trends remain positive as well. Growth in the European operations stemmed from a continued improvement in 3G Europe, where EBIT jumped 23% yoy. The groups retail businesses in Europe also observed EBIT growth of 18% yoy due to continued store growth and further margin improvement.

    Property dragging down the group Property earnings were significantly weaker than we had expected, with both EBITDA and EBIT for the overall property segment falling 35% yoy. The large fall was attributable to slower property sales in the Mainland, particularly in Tier 1 and 2 cities which had been affected by local purchase and pricing restrictions. Management has now reduced its 2014 residential properties sales target from 10,700 to 7,200 units.

    Still more upside, in our view We believe that investors are waiting for catalysts in the form of M&A activity, with consolidation in Italy likely being considered at the moment. While usage of its cash from recent divestments is rightfully important, we believe that organic growth drivers are largely pointing in the right direction as well, and this could drive a narrowing of HWLs discount to NAV from its current 28%.

    SECTOR FLASH NOTE |

    More GGR downside likely Gross gaming revenue (GGR) reached MOP28.4bn in Jul (-4% yoy), in line with market expectations. We expect GGR to see, on average, low single-digit yoy growth for the remainder of the year due to last years high base along with muted VIP growth. We keep our long-term Overweight rating on the Macau gaming sector, based on our FY15 sector growth estimate, where we expect GGR to return to double-digit growth on the back of new capacity. Our top pick is Galaxy as it will have the earliest new capacity opening in 2015.

    What Happened Jul GGR reached MOP28.4bn (-4% yoy, +4% mom) and YTD GGR has risen by 10% yoy to MOP221.5bn.

    What We Think We attribute the weakness in Jul to a combination of a persistently soft VIP gaming market and some negative impact from World Cup gambling. Based on our conversations with sources in the gaming industry, we believe VIP revenue is likely to gradually improve over the next few months but growth is unlikely to rebound significantly. We forecast Aug GGR to reach MOP30.6bn (-0.4% yoy, +7.7% mom) and maintain our view that GGR growth will finish the year at 6.6% yoy (vs. consensus estimates of 10-12%). We are forecasting 28%/-3%/5% growth for mass/VIP/slots. GGR over the past 19 months during non-China holiday months has averaged MOP29.3bn. To reach our 6.6% GGR growth forecast, assuming a record MOP39.5bn in Oct, GGR for the remaining four non-holiday months of the year has to average MOP30.9bn. For GGR to reach 10% consensus growth while taking into account our Oct forecast, GGR would have to jump to an average of MOP34bn per non-holiday month. This could be challenging given that Sept and Nov are seasonally weaker months.

    What You Should Do The sector is trading at 13x forward consensus EV/EBITDA (vs. 3-year average of 12x), which is an undemanding valuation. However, given the high probability of consensus GGR downgrades to around 5-7% GGR growth, we believe the sector could remain volatile in the short term. While we remain long-term positive on the Macau gaming sector, we advocate waiting for better entry points until the market is factoring in mid-single digit GGR growth for this year.

    CHINA

    ECONOMIC UPDATE

    Better-than-expected PMI shows stabilisation in Chinas economy Chinas manufacturing PMI reached a 27-month high, signaling improved economic conditions in China. Targeted monetary loosening and rising government expenditure were the main support for the recovery in the manufacturing sector. We believe the government will stay with targeted easing and proactive fiscal policy in the coming months to ensure steady economic growth. Meanwhile, the government is likely to speed up the pace of reforms from 2H14 onwards to sustain economic growth over the long run.

    News Chinas official manufacturing PMI surprised the market on the upside in Jul 14. The index climbed to 51.7 in the month from 51.0 in Jun 14 (consensus: 51.4, CIMB: 51.2), recording a 27-month high.

    Analysis We observed that the output index gained 1.2pts to 54.2 in Jul 14 as orders were boosted by the government. The leading indicator, new orders, also hit a 27-month high of 53.6, implying that demand conditions are improving.

    In Jul 14, new export orders reached 50.8, up 0.5pt compared with Jun 14s 50.3, and the imports sub-index edged up by 0.1pt to 49.3, indicating that growth momentum for trade conditions is likely to continue in Jul 14.

    The quantity of purchases accelerated by 1.0pt to 53.0 in Jul 14, reflecting enterprises recovering confidence. As a result, input prices rose 0.4pt to 50.5 in the month.

    Implications The improvement in the manufacturing PMI in Jul 14 remained the result of recent targeted easing and the governments supportive measures. However, given a mild recovery in endogenous growth (see our note on 29 Jul 2014) as well as overhangs from softened property investment, we still believe the government will stick with proactive fiscal policy and targeted monetary easing in the near term to ensure steady economic growth.

    Both the State Council and the central bank have recently urged commercial banks to lower borrowing cost for corporates. We believe this will be the major focus area for the authority in 2H14 given financing difficulties and limited access to credit for small-sized enterprises. In the money market, the central bank lowered the rate of its 14-day repurchase agreement in end-Jul 14 to guide down borrowing cost. We also project more relending and PSL (pledged supplementary loans) from the central bank to qualified banks and policy banks while the proportion of direct financing is also likely to increase given the development of the bond and equity markets in the coming months.

    Given the better-than-expected PMI readings and statement by the government that the current pace of economic growth is acceptable, we believe policy makers will speed up the pace for a series of reforms from 2H14 onwards. The State Council announced a detailed plan for household registration reform in end-Jul 14 and we believe more announcements will be made in 2H14 and 2015, such as reforms for SOEs, fiscal policy, land regulations and the financial sector as well as guidelines for changes in the governments function.

    Waiting for demand recovery While EBITDA margins improved in 1QFY3/15, presales of Rs3.1bn were the lowest in last five years. 1QFY15 EPS formed only 10% of our FY15 forecast, but we consider it as above as we expect a significant pick-up in 2HFY15. DLF guided for muted FY15 presales of Rs30bn-35bn (vs. Rs40bn in FY14) as it remains uncertain about demand recovery. DLF plans to launch relatively lower ticket sized residential projects in 2HFY15, and success in such projects would be critical for sales volumes and cashflow. We maintain Reduce, with a higher SOP-based target price as we roll forward our DCF-based gross asset value (GAV) from FY15 to FY16 and reduce the discount to 10% (from 20%). Slower demand and launch delays are potential de-rating catalysts.

    Weak operating performance continues 1QFY15 revenue fell 25% yoy to Rs17.3bn (Rs5.25bn annuity income). EBITDA came in at Rs7.4bn with margins of 42.7% (+315bp yoy) due to revenue recognition in its higher-margin Gurgaon project (Camellias) and lower costs (due to the sale of Aman hotel and Pramerica). Finance costs remained high at Rs5.6bn despite the significant asset sales as gross debt remained high. Net profit fell 29% yoy to Rs1.3bn. DLF generated positive operating cashflow of Rs3.8bn vs. interest outflow of Rs7.6bn. Sales booking remained weak, at Rs3.1bn from the sale of 0.4m sq ft in 1Q (Rs40.7bn from 3.8m sq ft in FY14). Higher leasing (largely in Gurgaon) of 0.71msf (FY15 guidance: 1.5msf) was positive. Gross/net debt rose to Rs240bn/Rs191bn in 1Q15 from Rs223bn/Rs185bn in FY14 due to operational capex (land/government charges), and maintain higher liquidity (given the near-term liabilities).

    Muted guidance: still waiting for demand recovery Despite the recent change in government and improving business sentiment, economy and policies, DLF maintained its muted outlook and guided for conservative presales of Rs30bn-35bn in FY15 (vs. Rs40bn in FY14) as it is still uncertain about the recovery timeline. Apart from its plans to monetise its mature inventory (Rs40bn of finished stock and Rs130bn of launched/ under-construction projects), DLF plans to launch relatively lower ticket sized residential projects (Shivaji Marg in Delhi: 1msf @Rs17,000/sf; Sector 70 in New Gurgaon: 1msf @ Rs 9000/sf) in 2HFY15 as the market improves.

    Outlook remains robust At 103% of our full-year estimate, HCLTs FY14 EPS was above estimates due to higher other income and lower tax. Although IMS/software services growth slowed down qoq in 4Q14, we expect it to pick up in the coming quarters, driven by a strong order book and healthy continued deal win momentum (US$5bn+ in total contract value (TCV) in FY14, including three mega wins). We raise our FY15-16 EPS by 1-3% (for higher margins) and our target price, which is based on 14.9x 1-year forward P/E, an unchanged ~20-25% discount to the industry benchmark, TCS. We maintain Add with sustained growth beyond IMS and improving cash flow distribution the key catalysts.

    4QFY14: Operationally better, revenue growth tad lower HCLTs 4Q US$ revenue growth of 3.4% qoq (below our +3.7% estimate) was driven by IMS (+3.7%) and BPO (+17.1%) while software services growth of 2.1% was muted. The EBIT margin decline of 46bp qoq (+333bp yoy) to 24.2% was ahead vs. our forecast of a 96bp decline as G&A optimisation, an 80bp increase in fixed price projects and a 30bp utilisation improvement partially offset headwinds from currency appreciation, wage inflation and large deal transition cost. Besides higher-than-expected operational profits, higher other income and lower tax led to a PAT of Rs18.3bn, ~12% ahead of our estimate.

    Record quarterly TCV win drives strong revenue visibility Although the 2.7% qoq growth in non-BPO services in 4Q14 was disappointing, a quarterly record order intake (we estimate TCV of US$1.5bn+ in 4Q, with total wins worth US$5bn+ in FY14) indicates that the growth momentum should improve in the coming quarters not only in IMS but also in software services (healthy order book in FY14 for non-IMS services). Considering HCLTs consistent strong execution for driving productivity gains, we expect its earnings momentum to remain healthy in the near-medium term.

    Improved cash flow resulting in higher dividend pay-out In line with our earlier expectation, HCLT increased its dividend pay-out ratio to 28% in FY14 vs. 24% in FY13, with a Rs12/share dividend announced in 4QFY14. We believe our 14.9x target P/E is justified given HCLTs strong cash generation (FCF/PAT of 93% for FY14, which is one of the best amongst peers), 30%+ ROE and 14% EPS CAGR over FY14-17.

    Focused on balance sheet correction HCC recorded a 39% yoy improvement in 1Q EBITDA to Rs1.41bn, just 2.8% below our estimate. But higher depreciation and interest expenses led to a 1Q core net loss of Rs203m, as compared to our profit estimate of Rs21mn. Management focused on a long overdue claim settlement to the benefit of Rs600m in the quarter, leading to reported PAT of Rs271m. Its plans to reduce debt by 20% in FY3/15 with the help of aggressive claims follow-up, equity fund raising and the sale of subsidiaries impress us. This should place it well to participate in the next wave of infrastructure building in the country. We maintain our numbers as we expect the management to improve its balance sheet. We increase our target price by 0.7% as we roll forward. Maintain Add, with potential triggers to come from equity raising and better valuations.

    Marginal miss in 1Q EBITDA HCC recorded 39% yoy growth in 1Q EBITDA to Rs1.41bn despite a weak sales performance (-5.5% yoy). Managements focus on claiming its receivables from clients helped it gain Rs600m to benefit EBITDA, leading to reported PAT of Rs271m. Higher interest expenses were due to interest bearing advances received from new client orders, whereas gross debt remained flat qoq.

    Management guides for 20% debt reduction in FY15 In the analyst meeting, management reiterated its strategy of 20% debt reduction in FY15, with help from aggressive receivables collection through court arbitrations, road asset sale proceeds and equity fund raising. We maintain our FY15 estimate of returning to profitability.

    Subsidiary value unlocking possibility We reiterate an Add rating and maintain our SOP-based target price. Favourable equity markets provide scope for unlocking subsidiary value, such as the recent filing to list Lavasa at a valuation upwards of Rs40bn, i.e. 33% higher than our estimated valuation, leading to an 18% upside to our SOP-based target price.
