MY Construction Sector OVERWEIGHT (unchanged)

Strengthened Pipeline Current pipeline is more solid than a year ago; RRIM, RAPID,

WCE, Warisan Merdeka, Langat 2 works to kick off this year,

KVMRT2 go-ahead is merely procedural.

Impending major construction awards, to at least sustain the

earnings momentum, is good enough reason to remain

Overweight on the sector.

Also, stock valuations remain undemanding at 8x-14x 2015

PER versus 16x for the KLCI; our Top Pick is still IJM Corp.

What’s New

A slew of positive events that have occurred since the beginning of

2014 have strengthened the pipeline of construction works in the

near term as well as for the longer run. The positive newsflow

includes: i) major construction job awards including Project 3B and

Langat 2; ii) go-ahead for RAPID and KVMRT 2; iii) a few major

projects have started or will be starting construction works; and

iv) tenders for some projects have opened or will open soon.

What’s Our View

The solid pipeline of construction job awards should support

positive earnings momentum in the construction sector. Despite

the bullishness, stock valuations are still lagging behind the KLCI

valuation and below their peak valuations during the previous bull

cycle. Hence, we continue to Overweight the sector.

Going forward, the focus should be on actual job awards from key

projects including RAPID and WCE. IJM remains as our Top Pick for

its strong orderbook replenishment potential from the WCE,

Kuantan Port and external jobs including RAPID. WCT is also eyeing

earthworks from RAPID, RRIM Land and subcontracting jobs from

WCE. Other potential beneficiaries are Salcon (Not Rated), Engtex

(Not Rated) and Muhibbah (Not Rated). Salcon just clinched the

Langat 2 project and is eyeing more water construction works from

Selangor and RAPID. Muhibbah is a strong contender for both

onshore and offshore construction jobs in RAPID with its track

record. Meanwhile, Engtex is one of the pipe producers that should

benefit from the strong demand for water pipes from Selangor.

Construction

What has happened since beginning of 2014?

Positive newsflow on construction job awards and the go-ahead of a few

mega projects since the start of 2014 have bolstered positive sentiment on

the sector. New job awards continue into 2014, with the most prominent

being Project 3B (a MYR11b 2,000MW coal-fired power plant) which was

won by 1MDB-Mitsui JV and Langat 2 water treatment plant (worth ~MYR1b)

which was awarded to Salcon-MMC-AZRB JV.

In addition, positive new developments in a few major infrastructure,

property, and oil & gas projects have further strengthened the pipeline of

construction jobs in 2014, flowing into 2015. The long awaited KVMRT line

2 and RAPID, Pengerang have been given the green light. Land tendering at

Rubber Research Institute land development has also started. Foundation

works of the 118-storey skyscraper Warisan Merdeka was awarded to

Pintaras Jaya (PINT MK; Not Rated) and should begin soon.

What else to expect in 2014?

Following the positive developments in the key projects, we expect more

positive newsflow and construction contracts being dished out in the

coming quarters.

Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit line 2 (KVMRT 2)

Updates: MRT Corp alluded that the Cabinet has approved the KVMRT

line 2 (Sg Buloh-Putrajaya). The government is expected to formally

announce the approval and appointment of the project delivery

partner (PDP) in the coming months. The total estimated construction

works value of KVMRT 2 is MYR25b (KVMRT 1 = MYR20b). The

government targets to bring forward the tendering process to 1H15

(from 2H15) so that the contracts could be awarded in 2H15. Works on

KVMRT 2 would then be able to start in 4Q15 to ensure continuous

usage of labour and equipment of KVMRT 1.

Potential beneficiaries: MMC-Gamuda JV is poised to be the biggest

beneficiary to clinch the PDP role and the tunnelling works, riding on

its experience in KVMRT 1. Meanwhile, other construction players

could also bid for the elevated works portion. Contractors with good

track records from KVMRT 1 should have an added advantage. The

listed contractors involved in KVMRT 1 construction include Gadang

(GADG MK; Not Rated), Mudajaya (MDJ MK; Not Rated), Sunway (SWB

MK; HOLD), IJM (IJM MK; BUY), AZRB (AZR MK; Not Rated), MTD ACPI

(ACP MK; Not Rated) and TRC Synergy (TRC MK; Not Rated).

Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development

(RAPID)

Updates: In early Apr 2014, PETRONAS gave the go-ahead to the

Pengerang Integrated Complex in South Johor which comprises the

world scale Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development

(RAPID) and other associated facilities with investment values of

USD16b (MYR52.5b) and USD11b (MYR36.1b) respectively. The civil

works component of RAPID is estimated to be worth USD2.4b

(MYR7.9b), 15% of the total investment value. The tendering process

for various construction packages has started. The first refinery plant

is set to start operation by early 2019.

Potential beneficiaries: Competent construction companies like IJM,

WCT, Eversendai, AZRB (Not Rated) and Muhibbah (Not Rated), just to

name a few, are looking to participate in the massive earthworks, dam

construction (at Sungai Sedili), water treatment facilities, power plant,

and regasification plant construction.

WCT has the most extensive earthworks heavy equipment and it has

tendered for the works. IJM meanwhile is eyeing a piece of the oil &

gas related infrastructure works. Additionally, Eversendai is also

looking to secure petrochemical plant construction work at RAPID.

Salcon (SALC MK; Not Rated) and George Kent (GKEN MK; Not Rated)

are eyeing the raw water supply and water treatment plant packages

in RAPID. Market sources stated that Cahya Mata Sarawak (CMS) is

vying for the temporary workers accommodation project at RAPID.

Muhibbah (MUHI MK; Not Rated) has also participated in the tender of

several work packages in RAPID.

Construction

West Coast Expressway (WCE)

Updates: The 60-year concession for WCE that connects Banting to

Taiping was inked in Jan 2013. The total project cost of the 233km

highway is estimated to be MYR6b. The project met all conditions

precedent in Dec 2013 and construction is expected to start in 2H14.

Tendering for the construction jobs should take place in 3Q14. The

construction will complete in five years. The WCE is 80:20 owned by

Kumpulan Europlus (KEUR MK; Not Rated) and IJM Corp. IJM holds a

direct 22.7% stake in KEuro, hence it has an effective 38% stake in the

concession.

Potential beneficiaries: IJM is the prime beneficiary since it is one of

the asset owners and targets to clinch 70% of the total civil works

worth MYR5b. Besides, WCT, Mudajaya and Muhibbah are eyeing

subcontracting opportunities.

Selangor water infrastructures

Updates: The water shortage issue in Selangor is currently at a critical

level. Even though the Langat 2 water treatment plant project was

finally awarded on 16 Apr to Salcon-MMC-AZRB JV, the Selangor state

also concurrently passed a motion that the project should not be given

approval before the water industry restructuring is completed. Despite

this set-back, we believe it is critical for work on Langat 2 to start

immediately.

The rehabilitation works involves the replacement of old pipes while

incorporating non-revenue-water (NRW) reduction technology. There

are 6,316km of Asbestos Cement pipes in Selangor and KL (as at end-

2012) which are old (>30 years old), and should rank high in priority in

the list of replacement.

Potential beneficiaries: Potential beneficiaries in asset rehabilitation

works include construction players, pipe producers and NRW reduction

experts. Pipe producers consist of Engtex (ENGT MK; Not Rated), YLI

(YLI MK; Not Rated), JAKS (JAK MK; Not Rated) and Fitters Diversified

(FIT MK; Not Rated). Meanwhile, Salcon is targeting pipelaying works

and the NRW reduction contract.

More Mega Projects Beyond 2014?

Rail, government land developments

The government has also displayed more commitment to rolling out

additional mega projects beyond 2014 including rail, government land

development, power plant and highway projects. During the Singapore

Prime Minister’s visit to Malaysia in Apr 2014, both the Malaysia and

Singapore governments reiterated that the KL-SG High Speed Rail (HSR)

will complete as scheduled in 2020, but acknowledged that it is an

ambitious target. Both governments are still working to finalise the project.

As for the Johor-SG Rail Transit System (RTS), the first phase of the joint

engineering study to develop the possible alignments has been completed.

We believe this paves the way for final approval of the RTS.

The HSR could spur developments at 1MDB Bhd’s Bandar Malaysia project

at Sungai Besi in Greater KL since it is the potential end point of the HSR in

Malaysia. In early Apr 2014, 1MDB was awarded a MYR2.1b contract to

relocate the various defence units currently located at the site. The

relocation is expected to complete by Sep 2016 and construction work on

Bandar Malaysia would start after that.

Power plants

After awarding Project 3B, the Energy Commission is now preparing the

tender documents for Project 4B which consists of construction and

commissioning of two 1,000MW gas-fired power plants. This will take 10

months, hence the request for the proposal and bidding process would take

place in 1Q15. In Sarawak, Sarawak Energy Bhd has a few more power

plants in the pipeline to power up heavy industries in the Sarawak Corridor

of Renewable Energy (SCORE). The pre-qualification process for one of the

dam projects has started.

Expressways

Meanwhile, it was reported that the Kinrara-Damansara Expressway

project has been awarded to a private company owned by Emrail S/B (Not-

listed) and Zabima Engineering S/B (Not-listed). The land acquisitions and

public feedback process have started and works are slated to start in 2015.

Construction

Positive earnings momentum

The solid pipeline of projects should propel strong construction orderbook

replenishment going forward. This should in turn sustain and even support

construction earnings growth momentum. Total new construction projects

awarded in 2013 was well sustained at MYR92.3b vs. MYR123.6b in 2012

that included the KVMRT 1 project (MYR20b). The robust project awards in

the past few years have driven total construction works completed in 2013

to reach its 6-year high of MYR90.9b. (Refer to graphs below)

Construction

Valuations and Recommendations

We maintain Overweight on the construction sector premised on: i)

continuous newsflow to bolster positive sentiment on the sector; ii)

strengthened pipeline of construction works would support construction

earnings growth momentum; and iii) stock valuations are still lagging the

KLCI valuation.

Positive earnings momentum

We expect positive earnings growth momentum from the construction

groups that we cover, supported by: i) strong outstanding construction

orderbook that are 1.0-2.6x of trailing annual revenues; ii) a bullish

construction orderbook replenishment outlook; iii) diversified income

sources from property development, building materials and plantation;

and/or iv) stable recurring income from concession assets and property

investments.

Valuations and stock highlights

Due to the optimism in the construction sector, the KLCon Index has

continued to outperform the KLCI, gaining 5% YTD while the KLCI was

flattish. However, we still see upside to construction stocks which are

trading at an average 12.8x 12M forward PER, below the KLCI’s 16x.

Gamuda, IJM, WCT and Hock Seng Lee are trading at close to their mean

forward PER valuations despite their robust fundamentals, but still below

their respective peak valuations during the previous bull cycles.

IJM Corp (BUY): Our Top Pick. IJM has strong orderbook

replenishment potential from the WCE, Kuantan Port and external jobs

in 2014. Its outstanding order book is MYR2.4b presently, we estimate,

after announcing a MYR396m job win on 21 April relating to a

commercial development in Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya. Its high

unbilled property sales, strengthening building materials division and

recurring earnings from infrastructure assets should support earnings

growth. Plantation earnings are also poised to recover in 2014 on

stronger FFB output from its newly matured Indonesian oil palm

estates and higher CPO and CPKO prices.

WCT (BUY): Improving prospect. Leveraging on WCT’s expertise in

earthworks, it is targeting to clinch earthworks from a few major

projects including RAPID at Pengerang and Rubber Research Institute

Land property development in Sg Buloh at Greater KL. In addition, its

Gateway@klia2 mall that will begin operation on 2 May 2014 would

boost recurring income to the group.

Salcon (Non Rated): Riding on water construction. Salcon’s current

outstanding construction orderbook of MYR642m (including 36% of

Langat 2 WTP project) translates into 4x 2013 construction revenue,

which implies earnings growth prospects. On top of that, it has a

sizeable tenderbook of MYR2.2b which includes local and overseas

water and wastewater projects. Some of the notable projects that it is

eyeing encompass the raw water supply and water treatment plant of

RAPID and its water supply projects in Sri Lanka. Salcon has also

ventured into the property development business. It will launch a

Construction

property development with MYR1.2b GDV under its JV with EcoWorld

(ECW MK; Not Rated) in 2014. Management expects its maiden

property earnings to match its construction earnings in 2014.

Based on consensus estimates, at current share price of 75 sen/sh, it is

trading at 17x 2015 PER and P/B of 0.9x. If we strip off the MYR270m

net cash (44sen/sh) from the disposal of its China water assets, it is

trading at 7x 2015 PER. Besides, Salcon has announced its plans to

distribute MYR30m out of its disposal proceeds to shareholders. It has

only announced 3 sen/sh special dividend or ~MYR18m. It could

potentially announce more special dividends of up to 1.9 sen/sh.

Engtex Group (Non-Rated): Piping Earnings. Engtex is poised to

benefit from strong demand for pipes from the Langat 2 project and

Selangor pipe replacement spending. Engtex is one of the three

producers in Malaysia that produces medium-to-large diameter pipes

that is required by Langat 2. Our projected 2-year net profit CAGR of

10% has yet to account for the potential contribution from Langat 2

and major pipe replacement spending in Selangor. We fairly value

Engtex at MYR2.55, pegged to a FY15 PER of 8x (Hiap Teck: 11.0x,

Choo Bee: 9.3x). (Refer to earlier research note - “Engtex Group: Still

undervalued” on 3 Apr 2014)

Muhibbah Engineering (Non-Rated): The RAPID Play. With its track

record, available capacity and infrastructure, Muhibbah stands to win

both onshore and offshore construction opportunities from the RAPID

project at Pengerang. Muhibbah is currently actively tendering for

several RAPID work packages and expects job awards within 6 months.

Muhibbah is also eyeing O&G offshore fabrication works with its newly

acquired Petronas license in 2013. Its cranes manufacturing and ship

building divisions would also ride on the growing O&G activities in

Malaysia and overseas. Meanwhile, its concessions are also expected to

contribute stable recurring income to the group.

Although its construction/infrastructure outstanding orderbook is

lackluster at MYR719m, potential job wins from RAPID could replenish

its orderbook significantly. In the near term, its cranes division’s

record high outstanding orderbook of MYR1.06b and steady ship

Such forward looking statements are based on assumptions made and information currently available to us and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements.
