What’s on the Table… Alpha Edge - Bear hug

The markets’ downturn, though steep in the past few weeks, has yet to run its course. We think that any rebound will be short-lived and signs of a bottom will only emerge later next month.

Telco - overall - Checking out the 1Q signals

Telco results for 1Q12 should be mixed. Maxis’s margin may have come under pressure after it dropped its IDD rates while Axiata’s results should be flattish qoq due to weaker regional currencies. We expect a strong showing from TM but maintenance costs are rising. The industry’s effective tax rate should be low given the tax incentives for broadband rollout. We downgrade the sector weighting from Overweight to Neutral following our recent downgrade of Axiata. Telekom Malaysia remains our top pick as it is not affected by currencies or competition.

Mudajaya Group - Enjoying an Indian summer with a power plant tour

Our tour of Mudajaya’s power plant site left us encouraged by the physical progress of the 26%-owned power plant which should not see any major delays after last year’s road bump. All four 360MW units should begin selling power by 2H13. We continue to value Mudajaya at a 40% discount to its RNAV. Clarity on the progress of the Indian IPP and potential power cashflows should renew interest in the stock. Mudajaya remains a Trading Buy and not an Outperform because of the political risks for the construction sector. The key catalyst is project awards.

Tomypak Holdings - High tax packs a punch

News of the Day… • Motor vehicle sales last month dwindled to 47,736 units, down 6% yoy • Sarawak Energy dished out three power transmission line projects for open bidding • YTD April 2012 adex in the country slipped 0.8% yoy to RM3.15bn • Final stretch of the Kuala Lumpur Outer Ring Road (KLORR) has yet to take off • Gas Malaysia to spend RM130-140m to expand its 1,800km pipeline by 70-90km • EU officials working on contingency plans in case Greece exits the euro zone

Former DAP vice-chairman Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim has made an impassioned call to the people to support the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. Give Najib the chance and time to see his transformation programmes currently being implemented, come into fruition, he said.

Tunku Abdul Aziz repeated his view that the transformation programmes were good for the country. “What the prime minister has done now is the right thing and we need to support him,” he said, adding that Najib’s transformation process for change would certainly take time. “In the past, we have been screaming that the government did not do this and that, but now, the government is listening, that is why I say, there was no need to protest... (now) they want Bersih 4.0... what else do they want?,” he asked.

Former PM Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has told Penang Malays they hold the ace card that can determine the outcome of the next general election in the state. He however conceded that the prospect of BN wresting the state from Pakatan Rakayat in the next general election did not seem bright, unlike in Kedah.

Mahathir also said he was sad whenever he visited Penang as he saw skyscrapers which were occupied mostly by non-Malays while Malays faced problems especially in housing and lived in "old houses". "Penang is an example of what may happen to Malays in the country," he said, pointing to Singapore and Thailand as examples of countries where Malays are marginalised. (Sun)

Corporate News…

Motor vehicle sales last month dwindled to 47,736 units from 50,936 units in the same month last year, the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) said. Sales volume in April 2012 was 5,847 units or 10.9% lower compared to 53,583 units in the previous month. "Rush for deliveries and invoicing by companies having financial year ended March 31 resulted in higher March sales," it said.

MAA said although consumer sentiments remained stable, tightening of the hire purchase loan approvals had resulted in longer leadtime for completion of sales process and had caused some slowdown in new vehicle registrations. MAA expects car sales to improve this month due to introduction of new models. (Bernama, Malaysian Reserve)

Annualised Jan-Apr sales volume, which stands at 558,840 units, accounted for only 89% of our full-year projection of 628,022. But we expect vehicle sales to improve in the months ahead as the supply gridlock from the Thai flood eases to meet pent-up demand, the number of working days normalizes, and new model launches.

The strategic venture partnership between Felda Global Ventures Holdings and commodities giant Louis Dreyfus was a closely calculated decision that considered all political and economic factors, said FGVH president and CEO Datuk Sabri Ahmad.

"Felda is strong in its up- and mid-stream activities. We are confident that the strategic venture partnership with Louis Dreyfus will enhance our downstream capabilities," Sabri said. (Bernama)

The Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) is looking at adjusting the feed-in-tariff (FiT) for renewable energy (RE) before it calls for the next round of quotes in July-Aug 2012 as there is an imbalance in the RE resource mix. At a recent talk on RE updates, SEDA said that almost half of the installed capacity for RE being generated since the beginning of the FiT on 1 Dec 2011 was using solar energy, which could be a wrong signal for the market.

Selangor State Development Corp (PKNS) aims to build 9,831 units of affordable housing in phases in the Klang Valley with a total GDV of RM1.5bn in the span of 10 years beginning 2012. PKNS wants to offer more options to buyers from low and middle income groups. PKNS general manager Othman Omar said it has shifted into high-end development to induce higher yield to finance its affordable housing development as it does not receive any funding from the Selangor state government to finance its affordable housing development.

YTD April 2012 adex in the country slipped 0.8% yoy to RM3.15bn, according to Nielsen. However, industry experts are not pushing any alarm bells yet, as they feel that the numbers are within expectations.

MEC Malaysia managing director Law Chan Keong said adex in the first quarter was slow due to shorter working days in January as a result of Chinese New Year holidays. The other reason could also be due to uncertainty in the global economy, especially with the eurozone crisis which has had a chain effect.

It is not about consumer sentiments. Some clients are maintaining a cautious mindset in terms of spending. They are still investing and spending but they are adopting a more cautious approach, he said.

The YTD adex dip was led by free-to-air television, which shrank 9.1%. Newspapers still continued to command the lions share of total ad spend, accounting for 42% of total YTD April adex this year.

The product/service categories with the highest ad spend in the first four months of 2012 were local Government institutions, mobile line services, womens facial care, fast-food outlets and photography.

According to Nielsen, adex in April, however, increased to RM878.24m from RM873.89m a year earlier.

Vogiatzakis expects adex to improve in Q2. I am confident it will bounce back in Q2, especially with the Euro (European Football Championship in June) and Olympics (in July), he said. Law concurred, pointing out that the two sporting events would be critical in determining ad spend for the rest of 2012.

Also, the timing of the General Elections will be critical, as it will be a factor that will trigger adex growth, he said, adding that Q2 would be the defining quarter for the rest of the year in terms of ad spend. How Q2 performs will set the tone for the rest of the year.

Vogiatzakis said this year's adex could mirror that of 2008, which also featured the General Elections, Olympics and Euro tournament that year. Ad spend that year began slow and peaked in Q3 during the major sports seasons. Hari Raya was also in Q3, so we expect a huge amount of spend in that quarter (for 2012). (Starbiz)

Shareholders of QSR Brands Bhd (QSR) and KFC Holdings (M) Bhd (KFCH) stand to get nearly RM5.4bn from the sale of the companies’ shares to Massive Equity Sdn Bhd. QSR and KFCH signed deals with Massive Equity to sell all the shares and warrants in the companies for up to RM5.4bn and said they would give back all the money to their shareholders via capital repayment schemes.

Johor Corp (JCorp), being the largest direct shareholder of QSR and indirectly of KFCH, is poised to get the bulk of the money from the proposed capital repayment. JCorp, which is Johor’s investment arm, owns 56.6% of Kulim (Malaysia) Bhd. Kulim will get RM1.16bn from the

sales of QSR and KFCH. This means that JCorp will get more than half of the money, given its controlling stake in Kulim.

Kulim said in a filing to Bursa Malaysia it would distribute the RM1.16bn to its shareholders by way of a special dividend. This would work out to a special dividend of 93 sen per Kulim share, based on its issued and paid-up capital of about 1.23bn shares as of December 31 last year.

In separate statements to Bursa Malaysia yesterday, QSR and KFCH announced that they had signed definitive agreements of a share sale with Massive Equity.

Massive Equity, through wholly-owned Triple Platform Sdn Bhd, will buy the entire business and undertaking, including all of the assets and liabilities of KFCH, for up to RM3.29bn or RM4 per share and RM1 per warrant. It will also fork out up to RM2.12 bn, or RM6.80 per share and RM3.79 per warrant, to buy all QSR securities, assets and liabilities.

The QSR and KFCH acquisitions were expected to be completed in the second half of the year, the companies said, adding that their boards of directors had no intention to maintain their listing status upon completion of the deals. (BT)

Masterskill announced that it decided to defer the construction of buildings for their proposed main campus for the time being and to reallocate the unutilised amount allocated for the purchase of land and construction of buildings amounting to RM76.9m for use as working capital in view that such sum has not been utilised within the expected timeframe of 24 months as disclosed in the prospectus. It will continue to aggressively pursue growth in the domestic and international markets via franchising and under the business diversification strategy.

Time dotCom will continue to focus on gaining market share by managing its costs, strengthening its network, having coverage in key areas, and improving its product offerings. Its initiatives could require higher costs for initial set-up and deployment but would be beneficial for the company in the long term.

Moving forward, with its proposed acquisitions of several communications companies, the company hopes to tap into its acquirees’ regional customer base as well as give Time access to international bandwidth. (Malaysian Reserve)

The final stretch of the Kuala Lumpur Outer Ring Road (KLORR) has yet to take off because of project feasibility constraints that may require financial support form the government. Ahmad Zaki Resourced Bhd (AZRB) has been given the mandate to construct the 40km toll highway linking the SILK Highway in Kajang to the Gombak toll of the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Highway.

While AZRB received the letter of intent for the project in 2008, the company has yet to commence construction because certain stretches of the highway are not commercially viable. (Financial Daily)

Wearnes Automotive Group's local unit Swedish Marque Sdn Bhd will cease as a Volvo dealer in Malaysia by June 30, leaving MBM Resources subsidiary Federal Auto Cars as the sole dealer in Peninsular Malaysia. Wearnes Automotive said it has the ambition to grow further in Malaysia like what it is doing in other markets where it represents Volvo. "Unfortunately, [the principal]

of Volvo Car Malaysia is not supportive of our strategy for expansion and growth to become a multi-brand dealer for premium cars in Malaysia," it added.

"Volvo is fully committed to the Malaysian market. We are working on informing Swedish Marque's customers and will refer them to Federal Auto outlets," said Volvo Asia vice-president of sales, marketing and PR Peter Johnson. (Financial Daily)

Gas Malaysia Bhd will spend RM130-140m to expand its 1,800km pipeline by 70km to 90km to supply new customers and strengthen its supply network. Gas Malaysia said that the funding for the expansion will be financed via internal funds and no additional capital would need to be raised. (Malaysian Reserve)

Come Wednesday, shareholders of Ramunia Holdings will have to vote on significant issues facing the once-troubled company. “Once we get the nod from our shareholders for the proposals, we expect to implement and complete our PN17 regularisation plan by end July and thereafter apply to Bursa Malaysia for the upliftment of our PN17 designation,” new CEO Nor Badli Munawir Mohamad Alias Lafti said.

He said with the company’s new fabrication yard, coupled with a fresh rebranding, Ramunia was ready to relaunch itself and tap into the numerous opportunities which is expected to face capacity constraints. (Star Biz)

Dataprep Holdings Bhd is likely to announce its partnership with several strategic partners soon to grow its business as part of its plan to turnaround the company. We are looking to partner three to four companies. It is almost final. We will make the announcement in the next few weeks, chief executive officer Ahmad Rizan Ibrahim said.

Other strategies included moving away from its low-margin businesses, building greater recurring income, going into new industries, being less dependent on government projects and venturing overseas.

It also intends to change the companys revenue mix between the government and the private sector to 50:50 from the current 60:40.

Separately, it is also looking at securing contracts in Indochina to tap on the vast ICT potential in Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. It is also looking at Indonesia. Overseas contribution to the groups revenue at the moment is minuscule, only about 1%.

Currently, Dataprep has a backlog order worth RM35m out of which RM23m are recurring income. Its orderbook will last the company for more than a year.

Its most notable contract is being appointed as the main ICT and Project Delivery Partner for the Secret Garden Resorts Project in the city of Chong Li, Province of Hebei, China. With an estimated gross development value of US$6bn (RM3.1bn), Secret Garden Resorts, which is located 250km west of Beijing, aims to be a world-class integrated ski resort development covering an area of 100 sq km. It will be built over several years. (StarBiz)
