Glomac - Strong earnings and record unbilled sales HOLD


- Glomac reported a net income of RM22mil for 4QFY12, bringing its FY12 earnings to RM85.8mil. However, stripping out the gain in the disposal of a Thailand associate, earnings amounted to RM79mil. This came slightly above (+5%) our estimates, but in-line with consensus numbers.

- In-line with the healthy set of numbers, the group declared a final dividend of 2.75 sen/share, which takes its full year DPS to 5.5 sen (4.7 sen in FY11). Glomac recorded another strong YoY growth in earnings (+25%) which was mainly driven by Glomac Damansara, Bandar Saujana Utama and Glomac Cyberjaya.

- Going forward, the group would be launching RM1.1bil worth of properties in FY13F, with 46% of them being landed residential properties in its flagship township developments in the Klang Valley and Johor, while the remaining are the Plaza Kelana Jaya Phase 4 and (PKJ4) Glomac Damansara integrated commercial properties.

- We expect sales for the bread and butter projects to continue to do well amid strong demand for affordable landed homes. Despite some supply glut in commercial properties within the Kelana Jaya area, we are surprised that the group has received strong enquiries and is currently talking to potential investors for an enbloc sale of Plaza KJ4. 

- Likewise, the retail portion of Glomac Damansara (NLA:300ksf) may likely be sold enbloc. We believe this is the best option for Glomac rather than taking a 50%-stake given its lack of expertise in operating a mall. However, we note that an enbloc sale usually involves lengthy negotiations and such a sale may not be done in the near term.

- Glomac is sitting on a healthy balance sheet, with  net gearing at 0.1x and the group would continue to be active in landbanking. We understand Glomac is now keener to be involved in township development and is looking  at purchasing a sizeable landbank in Selangor for an affordable housing project and pockets of land in the Klang Valley for fast turnaround development.

- We are forecasting a growth of 24% in its earnings  for FY13F, with the group sitting on healthy unbilled sales of RM731mil. We are introducing FY15F net income at RM134mil.

- We reaffirm our HOLD rating on Glomac, with our fair value of RM0.96/share now placed under review.
