Friday, January 30, 2015 China Merchants Securities (HK) Co., Ltd. Hong Kong Equity Research Company Report KWG Property (1813 HK) John So +852 3189 6357 Key takeaways from meeting with KWG ■ ■ [email protected] We met KWG’s IR head, Linda Wu yesterday KWG expects to maintain 10-20% contracted sales growth in 2015 and the chairman is actively meeting investors recently which we think it would help boost market confidence WHAT’S NEW ■ BUY We cut FY14-15E earnings by 5-6% but upgraded FY16E by 10%. Valuation is distressed at 68% disc. to NAV and 3.6x FY15E P/E Maintain stable GPM and target 10-20% annual growth Though competition was keen and KWG had to lower some project selling prices last year, the company was confident that the margin pressure was not significant through their cautious new land purchases. We estimate its FY14/15E GPM could be 35.1%/33.5%, not much lower than the 36.2% in FY13. Looking ahead in 2015, KWG expects it has less pressure on price cut and it preliminarily targets to have 10-20% contracted sales growth (our estimate at 15% or RMB23.6bn), based on 10-20% growth in its saleable resource. In 2015, we believe KWG’s prospect remains robust as it has accumulated lots of quality land sites over the past two years. As KWG would keep some Grade A offices for long-term rental purposes, we slightly revise down FY14/15E core profits by 5%/6% so as to reflect lower bookings of office projects. We expect KWG to achieve 16%/18% earnings growth in FY14/15E after the revision. We believe KWG would keep its 25-30% dividend pay-out ratio and we forecast FY14/15E dividend yield of 7.6%/8.4%. We estimate the net gearing is about 67% at FY14E year-end, lower than its peer average at 79%. Target price unchanged at HK$7.50 Current valuation at 68% discount to NAV and 3.6x FY15E P/E appears distressed. We believe the market will gain confidence on KWG when it announces annual results and the chairman meets more investors in coming March, which could be potential short-term catalysts. We maintain our 12-month target price at HKD7.5, based on 52% discount to end-FY14 NAV or equal to 1SD above its 5-year mean.
