In our opinion, the urgency to address Indonesia’s electricity demand is even higher following the Government’s plan to accelerate infrastructure development in the country – which means that the supply of electricity has to keep up with demand. President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has announced his plan to add an extra 35,000 megawatts (MW) by 2019, almost doubling the country’s current capacity of 49,000MW. We foresee a higher number of foreign direct investment (FDI) and independent power producers (IPP) participating in power generation, which would indirectly benefit RAJA. Note that one of its business strategies is to venture into power generation since it already has a supply of gas – which makes it a suitable candidate for IPP. Strong EBITDA, earnings and balance sheet. We expect the company to book a 22.6% 5-year CAGR in EBITDA for 2011-2016F and 54.7% 5year CAGR in earnings for 2011-2016F, driven by higher pipe utilisation and monetisation of lucrative projects (additional 46 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of gas transmission by 2016). We expect 2016 ROAE to reach 23.6% vs 2014F’s 17.3%. BUY with a DCF-based TP of IDR2,000. Our DCF-based TP of IDR2,000 assumes a WACC and long-term growth of 11.3% and 3% respectively. RAJA is currently trading at 11.4x / 7.1x 2015-16 P/Es.

RAJA is a gas distribution and transmission company with a market share of ~5%.

Yangzijiang entered into nine new shipbuilding orders in 4Q14, bringing order wins for the year to USD1.8bn, consisting of 41 vessels. These comprised two 10,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) containerships, four 36,500 deadweight-tonne (dwt) bulk carriers, two 2,700TEU containerships and one 64,000dwt bulk carrier. These vessels are expected to be delivered in 2015-2017. Additionally, the company granted four options for two 36,500dwt bulk carriers and two 2,700TEU containerships. 1.8-year orderbook on hand. 2014’s USD1.8bn close was within the company’s USD1.5bn-2.0bn target range, though falling short of our USD2.2bn forecast. We calculate the current orderbook, net of 4Q14 recognitions, to be c.USD4.5bn, which would cover 1.81 years of FY15F shipbuilding revenue. With a total USD4.7bn of orders in the last two years, Yangzijiang’s yards are relatively full and we moderate our order win expectations to USD2.0bn going forward. Positive macro trends. With sales revenues in USD and costs in CNY, the strengthening USD should benefit Yangzijiang. The lower oil prices are a strong positive for global economic growth, which should increase trade flows and demand for shipping services. As a global leader in shipbuilding, Yangzijiang stands to benefit from this macro trend. Maintain BUY with SGD1.68 TP. We continue to like Yangzijiang as the most efficient shipyard in China, which combines the lowest cost structure with strict discipline on order intakes. Maintain BUY with a SOP-based TP of SGD1.68, which values the shipbuilding business at 8x FY14F trough earnings. Current valuations are inexpensive at c.6x FY15/FY16F P/Es, c.3x EV/EBITDA, with a 4.3% dividend yield. We also highlight that the company is trading near book value, on c.16% ROE.

Once again, we enter uncharted territory as the Federal Reserve ends QE, while Japan announces a new round of stimulus. Many indicators indicate that the USD will remain strong, while oil prices could stay low. Transport and export stocks may benefit at the expense of energy stocks in this environment.

The end of quantitative easing (QE) in the USA and QElike policies by other large economies such as Japan supports the thesis for further strengthening of the USD against Asian currencies, which is likely to remain positive for Asian exporter and transport stocks. Weak oil prices. During our marketing trip, many investors felt that oil prices would be low at USD70/bbl in the near future due to the strong USD (in which oil prices are denominated) and strong US inventories. Domestic consumption stocks in some Asian markets may not benefit as much as they should, due to country-specific reasons in Indonesia (diesel subsidy reduction), Thailand (gradual floating of refined product prices) and Malaysia (goods and services tax (GST) implementation) and a shift towards managed float pricing for refined products. Low interest rates. In our view, any increase in interest rates would be relatively mild, as several countries in Asia such as China, Japan, Korea and Thailand are still intent on propping up their economies. China led the pack with a surprise rate cut in Nov 2014. Input costs and inflation are lower than they would be if oil prices were at normal levels. The low interest rate environment will be negative for banks but positive for defensive sectors such as power, telecoms, and REITs. The definitions of defensives vary for each country. Country-specific themes. Apart from this, we identify and discuss three country-specific themes in this report, namely: i) HK-Shanghai Stock Connect, which should lead to a convergence in valuations between the two markets, ii) a recovery in Thai tourism, and iii) the bank consolidation theme in Malaysia.

Powered by EFATM Platform 4 Regional Monthly, 5 January 2015 Monthly Compass From Healthcare To US Interest Rates To China Railway DBS is our Top Pick for Singapore bank on US Fed Fund rate normalisation What a year 2014 was, with crude oil prices crashing in the last few months, a number of air crashes and the Ebola pandemic gaining global attention. As we entered 2015, we are particularly excited about the impending hike in US interest rates (which will likely benefit DBS), the continued robust demand for medical gloves (we upgraded Supermax last week), and the restructuring of China railway sector to improve competitiveness (CNR is a beneficiary). Please read page 2 of this report for the meaty details. Indonesia AirAsia flight QZ8501 crashed on 28 Dec 2014, and a number of victims have been found thus far. We extend our deepest condolences and prayers to the victims, their families and friends. This incident could cap the yield upside expectations. Although this will likely be more pronounced for Indonesia Air Asia (IAA), we do not rule out that this could possibly impact yields for the whole AirAsia group, notably Malaysia AirAsia (MAA). Despite the incident, we like AirAsia (AIRA MK, BUY, TP: MYR3.47), with its TP pegged to 12x FY15 EPS. AirAsia : Prayers For QZ8501 The Ebola fears and the recent discovery of H7N9 virus in China, though unfortunate, will drive demand for medical gloves, and we maintain overweight on the Malaysian glove manufacturers. We upgraded Supermax (SUCB MK, BUY, TP: MYR1.87) as its recent share price weakness has made its valuation attractive. Supermax : Value In Retracement Source: Bloomberg st nd We like Shimao’s property exposure to 1 /2 -tier China cities. We see 2015 as another busy year for Malaysia contractors. There is a long list of mega public infrastructure projects, particularly the MYR73bn Klang Valley MRT. For the Klang Valley MRT project, our Top Pick is Gamuda (GAM MK, BUY, TP:MYR5.35). Construction : 2015 Poised To Be Another Busy Year For Contractors Expectations are for the US interest rates to normalise in 2015. As there is a strong correlation between the US and Singapore interest rates, we expect Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR) to trend up as well. This will be positive for the net interest margin (NIM)s of Singapore banks, particularly DBS (DBS SP, BUY, TP: SGD22.60). We also upgraded OCBC (OCBC SP, BUY, TP: SGD11.70) as the dilution from rights issue has been priced in and its integration with OCBC-Wing Hang is progressing well. DBS : NIM Recovery To Support Price Outperformance Leng Seng Choon, CFA +65 6232 3890 sengchoon.leng@sg.oskgroup.com There were anonymous messages from Weibo suggesting that Shanghai may remove the Home Purchase Restriction (HPR) by the end of March. The Shanghai local government, however, insisted the existing policies would remain unchanged. On the other hand, Beijing lifted the provident fund loan ceiling to CNY1.2m (from CNY0.8m) for first-time buyers purchasing a property under 90 sq m, effective from 1 Jan 2015. These developments raised the hope of policy relief in first-tier cities. We believe 1st/2nd-tier cities property market will outperform in 2015. We prefer Shimao (813 HK, BUY, TP: HKD20.30) and KWG (1813 HK, BUY, TP: HKD7.60). Hong Kong Research Indonesia Research Malaysia Research Singapore Research Thailand Research We are positive on the merger of CNR/CSR into a new company called CRRC. This could be read as a signal for China’s overseas rolling-stock export strategy. The new entity is expected to win more international contracts. We like CNR (6199 HK, BUY, TP: HKD8.47).

Two of Perisai Petroleum Teknologi’s (Perisai) assets are still idle with no contract wins in sight. Management has guided that Perisai is tendering for jobs for its mobile offshore production unit (MOPU), Rubicone, as well as its derrick lay barge (DLB), Enterprise 3. However, we remain cautious on the prospect of obtaining new contracts as these two assets are old and of lower specifications. In a low crude oil price environment, we believe efficiency and cost-saving measures are key to obtaining contracts. Therefore, we believe that Perisai faces an uphill battle to win contracts for the two aging vessels. Note that as we did not factor in any job wins for the two vessels, an unexpected contract win could provide an earnings upside for Perisai. Can PP102 get a contract? Recall that Perisai’s first jack-up rig, Perisai Pacific 101 (PP101), was chartered by Petronas for three years starting from Aug 2014. Perisai has two more jack-up rigs to be delivered in the middle of 2015 and 2016. According to IHS Petrodata, which provides a weekly rig count, South-East Asia’s rig utilisation and average day rates are coming down slightly MoM and YoY. This is due to the lower crude oil price resulting in field operators scaling back on their capex and drilling activities. In addition, there are 10 jack-up rig contracts that are due to expire in 2015 in Malaysian waters, which we believe may put further pressure on PP102 obtaining a charter. We have given the company the benefit of the doubt and factored in 100 days of charter for 2015, but we recognise that this presents a downside risk if the charter contract does not materialise. 40 30 Nov-14 Sep-14 Jul-14 May-14 Mar-14 10 Jan-14 Vol m 20 Source: Bloomberg 9.42m/2.77m 328.3 -23.9 0.40 - 1.72 68 1,193 12.1 11.5 6.7 Share Performance (%) YTD 1m 3m 6m 12m Absolute 0.0 (14.2) (64.5) (71.2) (71.0) Relative 0.5 (14.4) (59.7) (64.2) (66.5) Shariah compliant Maintain SELL with a lower TP of MYR0.35.

This comes as a positive surprise, and prompts us to raise our FY15/FY16 earnings forecasts by 10%/11% respectively. Four long-term vessel charters renewed. The four vessels chartered are: i) MP Prelude and MP Premier – plying in Indonesia till end-August, ii) OMS Endurance in Australian waters on a renewed bareboat contract for three years (with two 1-year extension options) starting this month, and iii) MP Spectrum in the Gulf of Thailand on a renewed contract for two years, which began in Nov 2014.

This AHTS is being chartered into Vietnamese waters, marking Marco Polo Marine’s inaugural foray into this market. Compelling valuations with focus on shallow-water activity in cabotage-protected markets. The new and renewed contracts bear testament to the resilience of shallow-water vessels in cabotageprotected Indonesia and Malaysia, with rates holding firm from a year ago. Together, these six contracts provide long-term earnings and cash flow visibility for the company. Marco Polo Marine is currently trading at 0.5x book value and at 2-6x FY15-17F P/Es.
