- We are keeping our HOLD recommendation on MultiPurpose
Holdings Bhd (MPHB) with an unchanged fair value of RM4.00/share.
- Although our fair value suggests a 17.6% upside, we reckon
that delays over MPHB’s demerger exercise would put a drag on its share price.
- Recently, the Securities Commission approved MPHB’s appeal
subject to the condition that the group updated the valuations of its
properties. MPHB’s properties are located in the Klang Valley, Johor and
Penang.
- Even without the demerger exercise, we reckon that MPHB would
still be able to record decent dividend payouts of more than 50% of net profit
every year due to its healthy operating cash flows.
- MPHB’s free cash flows are forecast at 29 sen/share to 37 sen/share
for FY13F to FY14F.
- MPHB’s FY12 results were in-line with our expectations and
consensus estimates. The group declared a final gross DPS of 5 sen for 4QFY12,
which brings total gross DPS to 11 sen for FY12. This implies a yield of 3.2%
and a net payout of 45%.
- For FY13F, we have forecast a dividend yield of 4.4%, which
suggests a gross DPS of 15 sen and net payout of 59%.
- Pre-tax profit of MPHB’s NFO division fell 30.7% YoY to RM274.2mil
in FY12 due to a higher prize payout and lower ticket sales.
- Ticket sales continued to be weak. Revenue edged down 1.2%
to RM739.7mil in FY12 after a 3.4% decline in FY11. We believe that MPHB was
affected by competition from Berjaya Sports Toto’s jackpot games, which offered
higher prizes.
- On a per draw basis, ticket sales declined 4.4% YoY to RM18.7mil
in FY12. There were 179 draws in FY12 versus 177 draws in FY11.
- We estimate the prize payout of the NFO division at 68.1% in
FY12 against 61.6% in FY11.
- On a quarterly basis, the NFO division recorded a 1.2% decrease
in ticket sales in 4QFY12. There were 45 draws in 4QFY12, which was the same as
in 3QFY12.
- We estimate that prize payout was at 74.3% in 4QFY12, almost
8.7ppts higher than the payout of 65.6% recorded in 3QFY12.
