Prosperous land Tanah Makmur, the soon-to-be listed plantation vehicle of the Pahang royal family, offers strong earnings growth prospects, driven by rising CPO prices, stronger property sales and a new earnings stream from its bauxite mining business. Property earnings could get a boost if it secures the contract to build the state administration complex in its KotaSAS property project.

The contract could potentially boost the GDV of its property project by 67% to RM3bn. We view the company’s strong shareholders and the strategic location of some of its estates as its key strong points. The key disadvantages are the lack of scale and the older age profile of its estates, but it has plans to improve on these areas. We arrive at a SOP-based target price of RM1.88, which implies an upside of 50% from its IPO price.

A planter with royal links Tanah Makmur is a Pahang-based palm oil player, with 13,530 ha of planted oil palm estates and a palm oil mill in Malaysia. It is also involved in property development in Kuantan, mainly through its KotaSAS project, to unlock the value of its landbank. It also recently commenced mining and extraction of bauxite, after it discovered 1.4m bauxite reserves while clearing land for its property project. The Crown Prince of Pahang and his family are the largest shareholders, while one of Pahang’s state agriculture arms, LKPP, is the second-largest shareholder. The plantation assets have a long history and were previously listed under Kurnia Setia Berhad.

"Three arrows" for growth Plantation earnings are set to benefit from better CPO prices. On top of this, the group plans to rejuvenate the average age profile of its estates (15-16 years) through replanting and new planting programmes. There is scope for growth as it has 3,527 ha of landbank reserves. The group is also expanding its milling capacity by 50% and is open to future M&As, targeting to raise its landbank by 39% to 25,000 ha by 2017/18. Property earnings are set to rise as it is stepping up the launches of higher-end property products. The property earnings could get a boost if it is able to secure the project to build the state administrative complex in its township. On top of these, TMB is set to enjoy a new stream of earnings in FY14-16 from bauxite mining.

Potential upside of 50% We used the SOP valuation and arrived at a target price of RM1.88, which implies an upside of 50% to its IPO price. At our target price, the implied FY14 and FY15 P/Es are 11x and 9x, respectively. The implied dividend yield at our target price is 4.5-5.5%, which is higher than the average of its Malaysian peers.

Prosperous land 1. BACKGROUND

1.1 Most assets formerly listed under Kurnia Setia

Tanah Makmur Berhad (TMB) was incorporated on 18 Dec 2008 under the name of Kreatif Selaras Sdn Bhd. It subsequently changed its name to Tanah Makmur Berhad on 29 Nov 2013.

A large majority of its current plantation businesses were previously held by Kurnia Setia Berhad (KSB). KSB was previously listed by Lembaga Kemajuan Perusahaan Pertanian Negeri Pahang (LKPP) on the Malaysian Stock Exchange on 2 Dec 1984. The current management team took over the operations in 2005 when the major shareholder raised its equity stake in the company (Fig 1).

Kurnia Setia was delisted from Bursa Malaysia on 21 Dec 2010 following a takeover offer by the major shareholders of TMB to acquire the shares and warrants they did not already own for RM2.70 per share and RM1.20 per warrant. The offer price valued the stock at a historical P/E of 6.27x and P/BV of 0.82x. The market capitalisation of Kurnia Setia was approximately RM286.4m at that time.

Figure 1: Key milestones

Year Key milestones

2005

The TAS group had increased its equity interest to approximately 26% in Kurnia Setia. It was at this point that the TAS group took over the helm of Kurnia Setia, in

order to unlock the potential value of Kurnia Setia. This led to the expansion of Kurnia Setia’s plantation lands and the improvement of their plantation yield, as well as

Kurnia Setia’s venture into property development in subsequent years.

2008Kurnia Setia ventured into property development by converting Ladang Bukit Goh into building for the purposes of residential and commercial development. The

property development business was initiated by KotaSAS to design, develop and construct the KotaSAS Township.

Tanah Makmur completed the Privatisation.

KotaSAS executed a joint venture agreement with OMNI Holdings Sdn Bhd on 14 January 2010 for the development of Precinct 1 and Precinct 2 of the KotaSAS

Township through KotaSAS OMNI.

Launched Precinct 1 of the KotaSAS Township.

TMB began construction of our palm oil mill and compost plant.

2011 Launched Precinct 2 (Phases 1 and 2) of the KotaSAS Township.

Commenced operations of our palm oil mill and compost plant in July 2012.

Launched Precinct 2 (Phase 3) and Precinct 3 (Phase 1) of the KotaSAS Township.

KotaSAS entered into a shareholders’ agreement with Tanah Makmur Perkasa Sdn Bhd for the combination of effort of the shareholders to develop the remainder

portion of land located in Ladang Bukit Goh that has yet to be developed.

Launched Precinct 3 (Phase 2 and Phase 3) and Precinct Lakeside 1 of the KotaSAS Township.

2014KotaSAS and Tanah Makmur KotaSAS executed the development agreement dated 8 January 2014 which was subsequently substituted by the amended restated

development agreement dated 12 May 2014, to develop and complete the development of the remaining land under the KotaSAS Township.

1.2 What has changed since the company was taken private

Since the company was taken private, the group has concentrated its efforts and resources on building its reputation in township property development in Kuantan, expand its plantation operations to include a palm oil mill since Jul 2012, and increase its landbank by 24.55% to 17,969 ha from 14,428 ha. On the property front, it has successfully launched and completed various phases of its township (Fig 2).

Due to the anticipated continued growth in the oil-palm based industry, we have put in place plans to expand our group's landbank and milling capacity as well as to improve our crude palm oil and palm kernel yields over the next five years.”

– Tengku Datuk Zubir Tengku Datuk Ubaidillah, TMB’s MD

1.3 A palm oil and property player in Pahang

Today, TMB is an upstream plantation player and property developer in Malaysia. Through its subsidiaries, it owns or leases 17,969 ha of plantation land. Of this, 13,530 ha (or 75%) of the landbank is planted with oil palm. All of the group's estates and assets are located in Pahang. It operates a palm oil mill with a maximum production capacity of 30 tonnes of FFB per hour. Seven of the group's estates currently supply FFBs to the group's mill, while the remaining estates sell their fruits to third party traders. The palm products from its mills are mainly crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernel (PK) and are sold to third party refiners and PK crushing plants in the country.

The group ventured into property development in 2010 when it launched the Kota Sultan Ahmad Shah Township (KotaSAS) mainly to maximise the potential value of its land in Ladang Bukit Goh.

It is also involved in the mining of bauxite, after it discovered bauxite while clearing land at its property development project. The group is expected to complete mining activities over the next three years.

The plantation division is the largest contributor, and accounted for 83% of the gross profit in FY13. Property segment accounted for the rest.

2.1 Pahang oil palm player with 13,530ha of planted area

The group owns 13 plantation estates with a total land area of 17,969ha. It owns 11,633 ha or 65% of the landbank and leases 6,336ha or 35% from LKPP. Currently, 75% or 13,530 ha of its total landbank is planted with oil palms, while 5% is not fit for planting and is reserved for infrastructure, nurseries, buffer zones and other uses. This leaves the group with 3,527 ha (20%) of plantable reserves. The group plans to plant the remaining landbank, and the new land it acquires over the next few years. It bought Ladang Alur Seri (2,023 ha) in 2011 and Ladang Ulu Lepar (1069.7 ha) in 2013. We understand that most of the group’s estates are on mineral soil. Relative to the big-cap plantation players, the group’s estate size is small, measuring only 3% of Sime Darby’s and 4% of Felda Global Venture’s (FGV) total planted areas. Tanah Makmur’s planted oil palm estates make up 2% and 0.3% of the planted oil palm area in Pahang and Malaysia respectively.

2.2 Its mill processes 34% of its FFB output

The group is a newcomer in the palm oil milling business. It set out to build the mill soon after the company was taken private to achieve higher pricing for its palm products and reduce its dependence on external traders and millers.

Its palm oil mill was completed on Jul 2012, with a milling capacity of 30 FFB tonnes per hour. The mill processes FFB output from its estates as well as FFB purchased from third parties.

TMB channeled FFB production from seven of its estates or 34% of its total FFB production to the mill in 2013. It sells around 66% of total production from its estates to third parties, as it is not economical to transport to its own mill.

The average utilisation rate of its mill was 84% in 2013, which is below the industry average in Pahang. In FY13, its mill produced 31,676 tonnes of crude palm oil (CPO) and 9,465 tonnes of palm kernel (PK).

The group also operates a compost plant which recycles waste such as shredded Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) and slurry generated from the mill into compost fertilisers by using microbes. The compost plant, which is situated next to its mill, was commissioned in 2012 and has the capacity to produce 40,000 tonnes of compost per annum. The operation of the plant is carried out by its 70%-owned subsidiary, Alur Lestari, and the compost is sold to My Agri Nutribio.

2.3 Major palm oil customers and sales strategy

The group sells its CPO and PK directly to local refiners and palm kernel crushing operators. The FFBs that are not processed by its mill are sold to other millers in the vicinity. The group sells its FFB through a yearly tendering process. Yearly FFB contracts are entered into with those third party traders and millers that are selected, based on their respective bids. Its key customers are Kilang Sawit and Sern Lee Enterprise. In FY13, Kilang Sawit accounted for 12.6% of its total FFB sales while Sern Lee Enterprise accounted for 4.8%.

2.4 Property development activities

The group ventured into property development in 2010, mainly to unlock the potential value of one of its estates (Ladang Bukit Goh) which is strategically located. The property development project was initiated by its property arm, KOTASAS, and is named the Kota Sultan Ahmad Shah Township (KotaSAS). The township is strategically located near some of the main government offices and is accessible through the East Coast Expressway and Kuantan Bypass (see Fig 16).

Figure 16: Location of KotaSAS project in Kuantan, Pahang

SOURCES: CIMB, COMPANY REPORTS

The township involves the development of 1,500 acres (607 ha) of land over 15 years and focuses on the development of residential, commercial, institutional and government properties. The estimated GDV of this project is RM1.8bn and we estimate that the group has launched around RM300m worth of properties to date. It has completed the launch and sale of properties in three precincts with a total development area of 145.1 acres.

Under the township plan, it will be allocating around 228.5 acres of the land for the development of commercial centres, which include government and private offices, retail malls and office suites. To date, it has launched 1,074 units and sold 97% or 1,045 units (Fig 17). The group is also still generating income from 314 ha of the land from plantation activities.

The land ownership of the property project is held by 100%-owned KotaSAS. However, the development for the early phases of the project (up to precinct 2, Phase 3), with a total development size of 90.7 acres, was carried out by the 65% JV KotaSAS OMNI. The group intends to terminate the JV upon the completion of the developments under precinct 2 and the expiry of the two year defect liability period in 2016.

It has subsequently entered into a JV agreement with 60%-owned subsidiary Tanah Makmur KotaSAS to become the developer for the remaining developments of the project. The group, through its 65%-owned subsidiary, Kreatif Sinar Gabungan, has also proposed to the state government of Pahang for the new state administrative complex of the state government of Pahang to be included in the KotaSAS township. In Sep 2013, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato' Sri Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak, launched the development of the state administrative complex in the KotaSAS township. However, the group has yet to receive the award for the development of the project.

Its wholly-owned subsidiary Kurnia Setia Engineering also carries out construction activities and is mainly involved in the construction and building of main infrastructure in the KotaSAS township. The group is also involved in the trading of construction materials and leasing of machines to external contractors to construct, build and develop properties in the township. The trading activities are carried out by Kreatif Selaras Trading. These operations will complement its property development activities.

2.5 Bauxite mining activities

The group discovered the presence of bauxite while clearing parts of the land at Ladang Bukit Goh for its property development activities. It commissioned Aycel Geoservices to conduct an evaluation of the potential bauxite reserves. The survey revealed that the land holds bauxite deposits of around 1,426,500 tonnes.

Given that the mining activity will not interfere with its property development activities, the group commenced mining and extraction of bauxite in Apr 2014, after receiving the Proprietary Mining Licence and the Operational Mining Licence. The mining business is carried out by 60%-owned Kreatif Selaras Mining which in turn has entered into an agreement with SE Satu as the exclusive operator to mine and extract the bauxite on the said land for a fixed cost of US$13.75 per tonne for a period of 36 months.

3. OUTLOOK

3.1 Beneficiary of strong demand for CPO

As an upstream palm oil operator in Malaysia, we believe that TMB is well-placed to benefit from the bullish long-term demand prospects for palm oil. We are long-term positive on the use of palm oil for food and non-food purposes due to its attractive pricing relative to other edible oils, rising per capita consumption in India, China and Indonesia, as well as higher usage of palm oil for biodiesel purposes in Indonesia and Malaysia due to biodiesel mandates. Indonesia’s plan to raise its biodiesel mandate to 10% in 2014 could potentially boost the country's usage of palm-based biodiesel from approximately 1m tonnes in 2013 to around 1.5m-2m tonnes in 2014. Malaysia is also in the midst of implementing its B5 programme which would boost the palm oil consumption for biodiesel usage in the country to 500,000 tonnes p.a.

3.2 Positive on CPO price due to tighter supplies, El Nino

CPO prices started on a positive note this year due to concerns over the impact of the drought in Peninsular Malaysia, North Sumatra and Riau from Feb-Mar, rising biodiesel mandates in Indonesia and Malaysia, as well as the unfavourable weather conditions in some soybean planting areas in South America. Spot CPO prices climbed to RM2,917 per tonne in Mar 2014, but gave up most of the gains in May and Jun and are currently at RM2,453 per tonne.

We project CPO prices to remain range-bound for now and to rise towards the later part of the year due to weaker supplies caused by the drought in parts of key palm oil region in 1Q and the potential impact of the widely-predicted El Nino event (possible in 3Q14) which could result in lower rainfall in key palm oil producing areas, leading to a potential shortfall in supply.

We project the average CPO prices to rise 14% to RM2,700 per tonne in FY14 and 4% to RM2,800 per tonne in FY15. If an El Nino develops, resulting in lower rainfall in key palm oil producing regions, there could be upside to our current price forecasts and TMB's earnings projections. In 1H14, the average CPO price was RM2,605 per tonne.

We estimate that every RM100 per tonne change in the CPO price could impact our FY14 net profit forecast by 6%, and FY15 net profit forecast by 5%.

3.3 New planting and new mature areas to drive future growth

TMB's planted mature areas have risen by 13% over the past two years due to new mature areas coming onstream. However, FFB production during the same period fell 3% due to weaker FFB yields from its newly-matured estates as well as older estates.

The group's estates are not young. We estimate that the average age of TMB's estates is 15-16 years. Approximately 87% of its planted estates are mature and yielding – 41% are considered prime mature (9-18 years), 17% are old (19-25 years) and 9% are due for replanting (over 25 years). The good news is that 20% are young (4-8 years) and 13% are immature. These estates will help to partially offset the declining yields from its older estates.

The group plans to improve the age profile and output growth prospects by planting its landbank reserves as well as replanting its old estates. It plans to replant 2,061 ha of estates between 2014 and 2018, but we expect the new plantings programme of 3,093 ha for 2014-16 to more than offset its replanting plan. TMB has 3,527 ha of plantable reserves (Ladang Alur Seri and Ladang Ulu Lepar) which when fully planted will raise the group's planted area by 26%.

We do not expect the near-term FFB output growth to be strong due to the ongoing replanting programme, and the FFB yields of oil palms from its mature estates may decline as they approach the replanting age of 25 years. However, we project stronger output growth from 2017 when some of its new planting initiatives are expected to start to bear fruit. Overall, we estimate the group will raise its FFB output by 1-5% per annum over the next three years through larger mature areas.

3.4 Oil yields achievement above Pahang state's average

TMB's average FFB yield achievement in 2013 of 20.4 tonnes/ha was above the Pahang's state average of 20.2 tonnes/ha and Malaysia's average of 19 tonnes/ha. We believe that this was due to the good agricultural practices employed by the group at its estates. The OER rate of 19.98% achieved by its mill in 2013 was lower than the country's average of 20.25%, but this was compensated by the higher PK recovery rate of 5.97% against the country's average of 5.12%.

We expect its mill, which is strategically located and employs the latest technology, to register better OER rates over time and lower milling costs due to better economies of scale. Average utilisation rate of the mill was 84% in 2013 and the group plans to expand its palm oil mill capacity by 50% to 45 tonnes of FFB per hour within the next two years.

3.5 Leveraging on its strong relationship with LKPP

One of the key advantages that TMB has is its strong relationship with LKPP, which is expected to continue to support the group to acquire and lease plantation lands at competitive prices in Pahang.

The relevant state authority of Pahang has informed TMB that it had decided on 10 Oct 2010 that the state will only approve state land for oil palm plantation purposes to state-linked agencies, such as LKPP. As such, having LKPP as a major shareholder provides TMB access to new plantation projects in Pahang.

As and when TMB discovers plantation potential on certain land in Pahang, it can initiate the process of transferring the land to itself by entering into a sale and purchase or a lease agreement with LKPP. Currently 35% of the group's plantation land is leased from LKPP.

3.6 Plans to raise its palm oil landbank to 25,000 ha by 2017/18

Over the next three years, TMB plans to raise its plantation landbank to at least 25,000 ha or 39% from its current landbank of 17,969 ha. The group intends to achieve this by acquiring suitable planted or unplanted land in Malaysia or overseas, though the primary concentration will be on expanding its landbank within Pahang.

Currently, it has identified two potential land plots in Kampong Bongsu (1,214 ha) and Ulu Lepar (1,436 ha). It is working with LKPP to secure the acquisitions from the state government. If these plots are successfully secured, it could boost the group's landbank by 15% to 20,619 ha. The group has estimated that the acquisition of these two land plots will cost it approximately RM10m (RM3,878 per ha). We are of the view that the group would have no issues funding the potential acquisitions as it will be in a net cash position after the IPO.

3.7 Plans to launch RM245m worth of properties in 2014

Previous launches at its KotaSAS project comprised mainly of residential properties. Going forward, the group plans to launch commercial properties, which will include government and private offices, retail malls and office suites.

In 2014, the group plans to launch 478 residential properties, which include the first introduction of bungalows and 40 units of commercial shop lots valued at approx. RM245m in gross development value (GDV). This is significantly higher than the total property sales of around RM172m recognised over the past three years. If successfully executed, this will significantly boost the group’s future property earnings.

3.8 Relocation of state administrative complex to KotaSAS could boost its GDV by 67% to RM3bn

The group, through 65%-owned Kreatif Sinar Gabungan, is currently waiting to be awarded the project to develop and construct a new state administrative complex and a state assembly hall in Kuantan, which will be located in the KotaSAS township.

In the proposal to the government, the group has estimated the value of the project to be around RM399m, but the value cannot be relied upon until it is able to secure the project. If the contract is awarded, the group expects to start construction of the buildings in 2014. We are positive on this as it could raise the future value and demand for properties in the township, if the project is awarded to the company.

TMB estimated that the future GDV of the project could potentially rise to RM3bn from the current estimated value of RM1.8bn, after taking into consideration the improved property development plans that it has made on the relocation of the new state administrative complex and state assembly hall to the KotaSAS township. The improvements in the proposed plan have been submitted and are pending approval.

3.9 Earnings boost from mining business for FY14-16

We project the group's venture into the mining of bauxite will raise its earnings during FY14-16. According to the bauxite mining works agreement between its 60%-owned mining subsidiary, Kreatif Selaras Mining and SE Satu (the appointed exclusive operator for the mining and extraction of bauxite at its land), the contractor will extract 50,000 tonnes (minimum) of bauxite ore per annum for the duration of three years and will receive US$13.75 per tonne on the actual tonnage of washed bauxite that has been successful sold and paid for in full by the buyers. We estimate that the group could potentially fetch a selling price of US$46 per tonne for the bauxite. Based on this and the estimated reserves of 1,426,500 tonnes, we project the group could derive a pretax profit of RM86.9m from this ancillary business over the next three years.

4. SWOT ANALYSIS

The group’s main strength is its strong relationship with LKPP, which will allow it to secure more landbank at attractive prices in Pahang to grow and attain better economies of scale for its estates operations. On top of this, the group has been able to maximise the value of its strategically-located land in Ladang Bukit Goh, through the development of KotaSAS township and the mining of bauxite, following the discovery of bauxite in part of its land. The group’s expansion into milling activities allows the group to extract higher value for its palm products and reduce its dependence on third party millers.

The group's landbank of around 18,000 ha is scattered over 13 locations in Pahang. Its largest estate, Ladang Sri Telang, measures only 2,871 ha, which is small compared to the estates of some of its peers, resulting in higher operating costs. Also, some of the group's estates are in hilly terrain which has resulted in lower FFB yields per ha. The estimated average age of its estates is 15-16 years which is higher compared to its peers. The group will need to replant some of its estates which may result in lower output in the near term.

The various measures that the group could undertake to improve its earnings are expanding its planted areas, improving efficiency at its estates, expanding its mill capacities and unlocking the value of its strategic land plots which are ripe for development. If the group is awarded the project to develop and construct the new state administrative complex and state assembly hall in KotaSAS, it will boost the GDV of its property project.

The main threats to the group are weaker CPO prices and external factors that could affect the plantation operations, for instance, weather patterns, a change in labour regulations or taxes, and duties for palm oil.

5. RISKS

5.1 CPO prices

Tanah Makmur derives 83% of its gross profit from the plantation division. As such, the group’s earnings are highly sensitive to changes in CPO prices. Every RM100 per tonne deviation in CPO price from our current assumptions would have an impact of about 6% on our FY14 and 5% on FY15 net profit forecasts. Our current average CPO price assumption for the group is RM2,700 per tonne for 2014 and RM2,800 per tonne for 2015.

5.2 Unfavourable weather conditions

Rainfall deficits or excessive rainfall at the group’s estates may adversely impact FFB yields and production. These may affect its plantation earnings if the decline in production is not fully compensated by higher selling prices. We estimate that every 1% change in FFB production will lead to a 1-2% impact on our earnings forecasts for FY14-15.

5.3 Dependence on foreign workers

The plantation business is labour intensive. In Malaysia, the industry is heavily dependent on foreign workers to remain cost competitive. In Tanah Makmur's case, foreign workers form 74.39% of its total workforce of 1,101 employees. Any shortage of labour due to new immigration rules or labour policies may affect the productivity of its estates.

5.4 High palm oil taxes in Malaysia

The group is subject to a windfall tax on CPO, a cess tax of RM13 per tonne of CPO and an export tax on CPO in Malaysia. Any changes in these taxes could impact the group’s profitability.

5.5 Forex fluctuations

Local CPO prices are sensitive to the RM/US$ exchange rate as the international CPO price is quoted in US$. A stronger ringgit would be negative for local CPO prices, though the impact would be mitigated by lower fertiliser costs and reduced capex. Our house view is that the ringgit will weaken to RM3.30/US$1 by end-2014. This will be positive for the local spot CPO price.

5.6 Measures to curb property speculation

The government has taken a series of measures since last year to curb rising household debt and property speculation. This has resulted in a dampening of sentiment on properties. We continue to believe that the measures to curb speculation will only have a relatively short-term impact on property demand and the buying will normalise by mid-2014, before picking up strongly in 2H as potential buyers realise that the residential property prices may rise ahead of the implementation of 6% GST in Apr 2015.

6. FINANCIALS

6.1 Plantation and property are the key revenue contributors

The group's principal activities can be divided into two key segments – oil palm plantation and property development.

In FY11-13, it derived 65-74% of its total revenue from the sale of palm products. The property division accounted for 26 -35% of its FY11-13's total revenue.

Its plantation sales are dependent on its estates’ output and the average selling price (ASP) achieved for its palm products. Its FFB production hinges on the size of its mature estates and FFB yields. Its CPO and PK output depends on the oil extraction rate (OER) and kernel oil extraction (KER) achieved by the mills. ASP for its palm products depends largely on the global supply and demand of edible oils. Property sales are dependent on new launches and the take-up rate of its property products as well as the progress of construction of its properties.

6.2 FY12 earnings hit by lower selling price and higher costs

FY12’s core net profit (excluding a gain on disposal of land of RM3.67m) declined 26% due to lower ASP, weak FFB output, higher estates costs and lower property earnings. ASP achieved for FFB fell 21% to RM603 per tonne in FY12. FFB output fell 4% to 229,890 tonnes due to lower FFB yields.

6.3 Lower CPO prices hurt FY13 earnings

Its core net profit fell by 27% in FY13 due mainly to weaker ASPs achieved for its palm products, but this was partially compensated by the higher FFB output (+3%). The group’s achieved ASP dropped 14% to RM2,376 per tonne for CPO in FY13.

7. FORECASTS

7.1 Sales driven by higher CPO prices and property sales

We expect the group to record revenue increases in FY14-15 due to higher palm product prices, property sales and maiden revenue contribution from its mining business. We project the group’s FFB production to rise 1% in FY14 to 235,796 tonnes, driven by improving yields and new mature areas. For FY15, we estimate the group's FFB output to increase by 4% to due to higher yields from its existing estates and larger mature areas.

In line with our bullish take on CPO prices, we project TMB to achieve a 14% surge in ASP for CPO to RM2,700/tonne in FY14, followed by a 4% rise to RM2,800 in FY15. Our CPO price assumptions have not factored in the potential development of El Nino due to the unpredictable nature of the severity of the weather conditions, even if one does develop. We expect its property revenue to jump by 14-23% for FY14-15, driven mainly by stronger property sales as the group accelerates its new launches. The group will also receive a new stream of revenue from the bauxite mining unit in FY14-16. Overall, we project the group to record a 39% sales increase in FY14, followed by a 15% increase in FY15.

7.2 Strong core net profit growth in FY14 and FY15

Overall, we project TMB to post a 56% jump in its core net profit for FY14, driven mainly by higher CPO prices, stronger property earnings and the additional income stream from its bauxite mining business. The core earnings growth will moderate to 22% in FY15 due partly to the higher earnings base that we expect it to achieve in FY14. Furthermore, we expect CPO prices to increase at a slower rate of 4% in FY15.

7.3 Capex plan

We expect TMB’s capex to be at around RM35m in FY14 and FY15, which will be utilised for its new planting programme, expansion of its palm oil mill capacity from 30 tonnes/hr to 45 tonnes/hr by 2016, as well as working capital and infrastructure works at its property project.

The group indicated that its planned capex for estates development (replanting and new planting) is approximately RM61.27m for FY14-15. It plans to utilise RM28.5m of the IPO proceeds to partly fund the plantation development capex. The expansion cost for its palm oil mill is expected to be around RM5m, which will also be funded through the IPO proceeds. Apart from these, around RM13m of the proceeds will be utilised to fund infrastructure works at the KotaSAS township and another RM13m to repay the bank borrowings.

7.4 Low net gearing level as at end-Dec 2013

TMB's net gearing level as at end-Dec 2013 of 0.015x was lower than its plantation peers. This was partly due to the strong cashflow from its plantation business over the past few years. The group will raise RM65.2m from its listing exercise. Following this, the group will be in a net cash position of around RM5.6m.

8. VALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION

8.1 SOP valuation

We have used the sum of parts (SOP) valuation methodology to arrive at our target price for Tanah Makmur Berhad, as we believe that this method allows us to apply the appropriate valuation methods to its various business segments.

8.2 Offers 50% upside to our target price of RM1.88

The group's plantation assets are the most valuable assets for the group and will benefit from higher CPO prices. We value these assets at 12.6x forward P/E, which represents a 30% discount to the 18x P/E we apply to large-cap Malaysian planters that own more than 100,000 ha of planted estates. Based on this, we arrived at a market valuation of RM505m for its plantation division.

For the property business, we assigned market value estimates to its 1,355 acres of property landbank. We value its Kuantan landbank at RM7 per sq ft, which is similar to the price that IJM Land had proposed to pay for the residential land near Kuantan Port in a transaction announced in Dec 2013. We arrived at a RNAV value of RM413m for the property assets. After applying a 50% discount to its RNAV given that it is relatively new in the property market, we arrived at a market valuation of RM207m for its property assets.

We used the discounted cashflow method to value the mining business as it allows us to capture the short-term cashflow of this project. We discounted our estimated cashflow from this at a discount rate of 13% and arrived at RM30m as its share of the profit. In our mining cashflow projections, we have assumed that the group will be able to sell its bauxite at US$46 per tonne.

We stripped out the group's net debt following the IPO from the total value of the group's assets to arrive at its target price of RM1.88 per share. This represents a 50% upside from its IPO price of RM1.25 per share. At our target price, the implied forward P/E of the stock is 11.1x for FY14 and 9.1x for FY15. This is at a discount to the average P/E of 17x for the Malaysian planters under coverage, mainly to reflect the smaller market cap base of the stock. At our target price, the implied EV/planted ha of TMB works out to be RM54.8k per ha, which is conservative but takes into consideration the older age profile of its estates.

Upside to our SOP valuation 50% SOURCES: CIMB, COMPANY REPORTS

8.3 We expect a dividend payout of 50%

TMB plans to pay at least 30% of its net profit, excluding non-recurring income, as dividends. We are projecting a higher dividend payout ratio of 50%, in view of its strong cashflow from operations and balance sheet. This suggests a net dividend yield of 4.5-5.5% at our target price.
