Further, plantation sector is anticipated to recover, with the new strategies adopted in the tea segment and increased bottom-line contribution from the palm oil segment SUN’s share declined -4% YoY (vs. ASI -13% YoY). The share outperformed the broader market in the past five years rising at a CAGR of +5% (vs. ASI -2%), reaching an all-time high of Rs.63.4 in November 2014 SUN share is trading at PER multiples of 10.9x FY17E and 9.1x FY18E (vs. diversified sector trailing 12 month TTM per of 14.9x), whilst offering an ROE of ~10%-11% in the medium term. We believe, a partial discount is warranted given SUN’s relatively high exposure to the volatile plantation sector, limited effective holding in growing FMCG sector and relative illiquidity. SUN is currently trading at a 16% discount to its SOTP value though we believe share seems to lack a near term catalyst to narrow this gap Share may find favour among medium to long term investors given SUN is well positioned to leverage on the expected growth in the local pharmaceutical industry amid anticipated rise in the disposable income, ageing population and rise in Non Commutable Diseases.

Key Highlights

Initiation Report Sunshine Holdings, is a conglomerate with presence in Healthcare, Plantations, FMCG, Renewable

Energy and Packaging. SUN is the second largest private player in the pharmaceutical industry holding ~14% market share in Sri Lanka’s pharmaceutical imports and distribution

SUN’s NP forecast at Rs.628mn for FY17E (+7% YoY) and Rs.753mn for FY18E (+20% YoY), driven by the healthcare and FMCG sectors. Further, plantation sector is anticipated to recover, with the new strategies adopted in the tea segment and increased bottom-line contribution from the palm oil segment

SUN’s share declined -4% YoY (vs. ASI -13% YoY). The share outperformed the broader market in the past five years rising at a CAGR of +5% (vs. ASI -2%), reaching an all-time high of Rs.63.4 in November 2014

SUN share is trading at PER multiples of 10.9x FY17E and 9.1x FY18E (vs. diversified sector trailing 12 month TTM per of 14.9x), whilst offering an ROE of ~10%-11% in the medium term. We believe, a partial discount is warranted given SUN’s relatively high exposure to the volatile plantation sector, limited effective holding in growing FMCG sector and relative illiquidity. SUN is currently trading at a 16% discount to its SOTP value though we believe share seems to lack a near term catalyst to narrow this gap

Share may find favour among medium to long term investors given SUN is well positioned to leverage on the expected growth in the local pharmaceutical industry amid anticipated rise in the disposable income, ageing population and rise in Non Commutable Diseases. Further, we anticipate an increased contribution from the FMCG sector to bottom line given the rising demand for branded tea in the domestic market

Healthcare Sector

The group’s healthcare business comprises Sunshine Healthcare Lanka Ltd (SHLL) and Healthguard Pharmacy Ltd. Established in 1967, 100% owned subsidiary SHLL specializes in providing pharmaceutical distribution, surgical, diagnostics, medical devices and wellness products

• SUN is currently the second largest player in the private pharmaceutical industry, with a ~14% market share. The group represents ~60 principles and distributes through a network of ~2,500 pharmacies (out of an estimated total universe of 2,800 pharmacies). Further, the company owns its wellness brands such as Mama Plus, Enlive Plus, Pedia Plus and Diabeta Plus. In addition, SUN is the market leader in the diagnostics sector

• Furthermore, Healthguard Pharmacy Ltd, which is a fully owned subsidiary of SHLL, is a pharmacy brand offering a range of pharmaceuticals, wellness and beauty products in 24 outlets located across the Western province

Pharmaceutical Segment

Industry Overview

Sri Lanka’s pharmaceutical industry is highly dependent on imported medicines, accounting for ~95% of the country’s requirements, while the rest is locally manufactured

In 2015, Sri Lanka’s total private healthcare market had an estimated value of Rs.110bn as per

industry sources, of which the private pharmaceutical segment is estimated to have consisted of ~31% • During 2012-2015 the private pharmaceutical industry witnessed a slower growth, at a 3

year CAGR of +2%, likely due to rising cost of healthcare amid currency depreciation and higher bargaining power of the pharmaceutical suppliers. However, the available research does not include total pharmaceutical expenditure as it excludes points of sale statistics such as pharmacy outlets in private hospitals, modern trade pharmacies and over the counter (OTC) sales at grocery outlets

Competition

Local pharmaceutical industry consists mainly of public and private sector, of which public sector is estimated to have ~65% of the total pharmaceutical industry as per industry sources. In addition, the private sector primarily concentrates on marketing branded drugs while the public sector’s effort is to promote generic drugs at affordable prices

Over the past few years, SUN witnessed a gradual increase in its market share from ~12% in 2012 to ~14% in 2015

Private pharmaceutical industry is highly fragmented market with ~200 players. SUN’s main direct private competitor is diversified conglomerate Hemas Holdings (HHL), with interest in FMCG, Healthcare, Transportation and Leisure sectors

• HHL is the largest distributor of branded pharmaceuticals, surgical and diagnostic products

in Sri Lanka and has the largest pharmaceutical network in the country with a ~21% market share. Further, HHL distributes its products via supermarket chains, private hospitals, government institutions and the “Hemas Sales Centre”

Competition

Further, SUN faces indirect competition from government owned, State Pharmaceutical Corporation (SPC), who supplies drugs to both the public and the private sectors, through an open competitive tender procedure. SPC distributes medicine via a total network of ~205 outlets which include “Rajya Osu Sala”, franchised “Osu Sala” outlets, SPC distributors and authorized retailers

• The value of free pharmaceuticals provided increased at a CAGR of ~+20% through 2011-2015, thereby offering more drugs at an affordable price. Going forward, the state sector is likely to be a growing threat to the overall pharmaceutical competitive landscape

Further, SUN faces competition from local drug manufactures such as J.L Morisons Sons & Jones (MORI) – 85% owned subsidiary of HHL which was acquired in 2013, Ceylon Pharmaceutical Ltd and state owned State Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Corporation, although local manufacturing is conducted at a relatively small scale

Meanwhile, SUN’s retail pharmacy segment faces direct competition from in-house pharmacies in retail super markets such as “Food City”, “Keells Super” and “Arpico Super Markets”

Local Regulatory Environment

Cosmetics, Devices and Drugs Regulatory Authority (CDDA) appointed by the Ministry of Health (MOH) regulates all pharmaceuticals, surgical products, diagnostic products and health supplements. CDDA mainly oversees registration, manufacture, importation and transportation of pharmaceuticals

• However, CDDA, seems to demonstrate irregularities in terms of time it takes to approve new medicines, attributable to its highly bureaucratic nature, limited lab facilities, funds and human resources. Further in recent times, several incidents of importing substandard quality drugs were reported, owing to inefficiencies on the part of the CDDA

The Government of Sri Lanka’s (GoSL) National Medicinal Drug Regulatory Authority Bill was passed in early 2015 and is expected to address some of the above mentioned issues though its specifics are yet to be established. The bill is likely to create a more equal playing field for legally compliant members such as SUN and also focuses on encouraging more local drug production. However, proposals of the National Medicinal Drug Regulatory Authority Bill have not yet been clearly communicated

In a move to promote affordable healthcare, the bill mandates all doctors and consultants prescribe the generic name to their patients. Enforcement of the bill will likely remain a challenge

Industry Outlook

Ageing population on the rise - Sri Lanka is in the midst of a demographic shift to an ageing population, with the country estimated to have the fastest ageing population in South Asia as per the World Bank. This trend is likely to give rise to an increasing demand for different medical products such as vitamins, preventive, painkillers and therapeutic geriatric products

• The median age of the population now stands at 30 years vs. 21 years in 1981. Furthermore, the World Bank estimates that individuals over 60 years will account for ~17% of Sri Lanka’s population by 2021 from the current ~14%

Increasing disposable income levels - In the medium to long term, with the local economy expected to move into a sustainable growth trajectory, we expect disposable income levels to increase gradually, resulting in an increased demand for branded drugs

Healthcare Sector

Industry Outlook

Changing lifestyles - Changing life styles have led to rise in Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure and cholesterol, which is likely to give rise to higher demand for pharmaceuticals

Increased outreach by healthcare providers - There is likely to be an increased demand for diagnostic and surgical products, given the increase of testing centers across the country and the opening of new branches, collection centers island wide by leading private hospitals and laboratories

Financial Performance Sector NP declined at a 4 year CAGR of -2% FY12-FY16 with significant volatility over the period,

largely resulting from cost side factors

Healthcare sector EBIT margin deteriorated to 7.2% by FY16 (vs. 11.8% in FY12) owing to supply-side pressure, increasing brand building expenses, staff costs and currency depreciation

• Further, the regulated ~15% margin ceiling on pharmaceutical products limits SUN’s ability to pass on higher costs

Healthcare sector revenue grew at a 4 year CAGR of +11% over FY12-FY16 led by the

pharmaceutical sub segment owing to addition of new pharmaceuticals, increasing disposable income, ageing population, changing lifestyles and rise in NCDs etc. Further, SUN’s strong distribution network (covering ~2,500 pharmacies out of a total universe of ~2800) too contributed to the topline growth over the years Revenue in the pharmaceutical segment grew at a 2 year CAGR of ~+13% over FY14-FY16

while retail sector and diagnostic sector revenue grew at a CAGR of ~+20% and ~+17% respectively during the same period (as per the latest data available)

Healthcare sector net profit was Rs.327mn for FY16 (+11% YoY) mainly driven by the volume led revenue growth in the pharmaceutical sub segment • Pharmaceutical segment revenue increased by +17% YoY to Rs.6,374mn (vs. Industry

growth of ~ +6% YoY) in FY16

Sector Outlook

Healthcare sector net profit forecast at Rs.361mn for FY17E (+10% YoY) largely driven by the double digit revenue growth. Further, FY18E net profit forecast at Rs.415mn (+15% YoY) led by continuous revenue growth

We forecast EBIT margin to decline to 6.8% FY17E (vs. 7.2% in FY16) amid currency depreciation, promotional and supply side pressure due to competition

• Meanwhile, we expect EBIT margins to fall moderately to 6.7% in F18E, with modest currency depreciation and expected continuation of supply side pressure and promotional expenses

Revenue forecast at Rs.8,171mn for FY17E (+14% YoY) and Rs.9,431mn for FY18E (+15% YoY) largely driven by the pharmaceutical sub segment, anticipating a growth of +13% YoY for FY17E and +14% YoY for FY18E led by volumes

• Further, we expect increased contribution from retail segment with a growth of +18% YoY and +20% YoY respectively for FY17E and FY18E, led by branch expansion and rise in demand for wellness and beauty categories

• Moreover, a revenue growth of +18% YoY for FY17E and +21% YoY for FY18E is anticipated in the diagnostic segment amid increasing number of testing centers across the country, with the opening of branches and collection centers by leading private hospitals and laboratories

Plantation Sector SUN’s exposure in the plantation sector is via a 25% effective holding in listed Watawala

Plantation (WATA) held through Estate Management Services (Pvt) Ltd (EMSPL). WATA’s main contributor to NP in FY16 was palm oil (Rs.682mn) and export segment (Rs.65mn) while tea and rubber made a loss of -Rs.315mn and -Rs.48mn respectively • WATA has been the single largest tea producer in the country in the last few years with the

highest exposure to Western High Grown tea (~50%), followed by Western Medium Grown tea (~47%) and Low Grown tea (~3%)

• Currently, WATA is also the single largest palm oil producer in Sri Lanka accounting for ~53% of total palm oil production in the country with cultivation mainly located in the southern province. Further, WATA owns one of the two palm oil mills in the country, currently processing over 19,000 tonnes fresh fruit bunches (FFB) annually

EMSPL, which holds 76% in WATA, is a joint venture between SUN, TATA Global Beverages Ltd (India) and Pyramid Wilmar Plantation (Pvt) Ltd (part of Wilmar International)

• During FY14, WATA entered into a new partnership with Pyramid Wilmar Plantation (Pvt) Ltd

subsequent to selling 5.6mn shares of EMSPL for a total consideration of Rs.910mn. Consequently SUN’s stake in EMSPL reduced from 51% to 33%

• Wilmar is one of Asia's largest palm oil producers with exposure to oil seed crushing, sugar milling & refining along with a distribution network of over 50 countries. The alliance is expected to provide WATA with Wilmar International’s expertise in palm oil cultivation and marketing

• TATA Global Beverages Ltd is one of the largest branded tea companies in the world with a brand presence in over 40 countries and interests in tea, coffee and water. TATA holds 32% of EMSPL

Tea Segment Industry and Exports

Sri Lanka is the second largest tea supplier to the world market exporting 317,885 Metric tonnes in 2014, followed by China, India and Vietnam. Sri Lanka exports more than 90% of the locally produced tea to international markets

Sri Lanka’s tea exports earnings consisted ~1.6% of GDP 2015 (vs. 2.4% in 2010) and 13% of total exports in 2015 • Sri Lanka has been witnessing a decline in tea export earnings (-18% YoY to US$1,341mn in

2015), largely due to the drop in oil prices which impacted most of the premier importing destinations of Sri Lankan tea (i.e. Russia, Turkey and the Middle East)

Tea Plantation Divisions

By 2014, Sri Lanka had ~204,000 hectares (Ha) under tea cultivation of which 73,445Ha (36%) were owned by 22 Regional Plantation Companies (RPCs)

Plantation Sector Tea Production Total tea production in the country rose at a 7 year CAGR of +3% over 2008-2015 to 329mnKg,

reaching an all-time high of 340mnKg in 2013. Industry yield per hectare (YPH) grew at a CAGR of +2% over 2012-2015 (likely due to increased worker productivity and better soil management practices). Tea production in the country, however, has been volatile largely due to erratic weather conditions

WATA had the largest tea market share of ~3% among the RPCs in FY15 while its total tea

production grew at a CAGR of +2% to 9.4mnKg over FY09-FY16 • Although WATA’s tea production growth and YPH have been lower vs. the total production

growth in the country over the past years, WATA stands moderately ahead of other RPCs. Generally RPCs process larger quantities of mature tea plants which yield lower outputs, and these companies have been making lesser investments in the tea segment

Cost of Production

In recent times, most RPCs have been generating losses, largely due to the rise in cost of production and weaker prices fetched at local auctions • Production costs of tea have escalated during the past decade mainly due to the

rise in labor costs with the bi-annual wage hikes

• Total cost of production of tea grew at a CAGR of +44% over 2010-2015 to Rs.450/kg, while the average net sales average (NSA) grew +9% during the same period to Rs.403/kg

• Labour costs consists of ~70% of total costs. Estate workers are currently paid on a remuneration based model rather than a productivity based model and the tea industry is highly unionized

Industry Outlook Sri Lankan tea industry continues to be hampered by rise in cost of production, resulting in

declining cost competitiveness in the global market - main reason being increase in wages without a link to productivity improvement

• RPCs are currently in negotiation with trade unions on a possibility of a “productivity base” or

a “revenue sharing” wage model

Declining yields of tea bushes, which are nearly 50 years old in most RPCs, likely to reduce YPH going forward. Further, shortage of workers in the plantation sector could also pose a threat to the sector

Meanwhile, tea auction prices are anticipated to improve with expected improvement in the Russian economy and removal of trade sanctions in Iran. Further, the GoSL plans to invest in the Sri Lanka tea brand and promote in new and existing markets which could improve demand for Ceylon tea

Total tea production grew at a CAGR of +3%

over 2008-2015

Plantation Sector

Palm Oil Segment Industry

Currently, palm oil is cultivated in the Southern Province by five listed RPCs and Sri Lanka State

Plantation Corporation (7,953Ha cultivated in 2013) In Sri Lanka, palm oil is used primarily as an edible oil. Other alternative edible oil used locally

includes coconut oil, sunflower oil and soya bean oil etc. Currently, ~70% of the edible oil consumption in Sri Lanka is imported

Palm Oil Production In FY15, five RPCs are estimated to have produced a total of ~16,626 Metric Tonnes (MT)

(+2% YoY and +11% CAGR during FY11-FY15) crude palm oil due to its higher profitability (vs. other crops) and also as part of the crop diversification strategy • Palm oil has been a more profitable crop to grow locally due to its higher yields and

lower labour intensive nature. Labour requirement for oil palm cultivation is much less, with just one worker to cultivate ten hectares of the crop (vs. tea which needs two or three workers per hectare). Further, palm oil has a potential oil yield of 3,000 to 4,000 litres/Ha per annum. (vs. coconut ~700 litres/Ha, sunflower oil yields ~600 litres/Ha and soya-bean oil ~460 litres/Ha)

WATA is the largest palm oil producer in the country, estimated to have produced ~53% of the country’s total palm oil production in FY15. During FY11-FY15 WATA, grew its crude palm oil production at a 4 year CAGR of +15%

• Further, WATA has been reporting the highest yield per hectare (YPH) among the RPCs, at

3,294Kg/Ha (vs. ELPL 2,889 Kg/Ha, NAMU 2,809Kg/Ha)

Palm Oil prices World palm oil prices likely to have resembled fossil fuel prices over the years, which is a close

substitute for one of the key uses of palm oil as a bio fuel. Further, palm oil prices witnessed a volatile trend in the past few years

Palm oil prices in Sri Lanka have been closely in line with international prices. However, palm oil growers in Sri Lanka are subsidized through a duty element of Rs.150/Kg on imports crude palm oil

Industry Outlook GOSL’s goal is to increase palm oil cultivation from its current ~8,000Ha to 20,000Ha by 2020

In 2016, GOSL further increased the taxes of imported edible oil by Rs.20/Kg to Rs.150/Kg to

protect the local industry, which is further expected to stabilise the local edible oil prices

Dairy Segment

In March 2016, WATA entered into a joint venture agreement with M/s PADC Holdings to set up a dairy farm in the Lonach Estate in Watawala through a 60% owned subsidiary, Watawala Dairy Ltd. The group invested US$3mn during FY16 on the project • M/s PADC Holdings is a 100% owned subsidiary of Duxton Asset Management Singapore

with ~US$690mn assets under management, of which US$460mn comprises agricultural investments

• The dairy farm is expected to be operational by early 2017 and the project is anticipated to produce 30,000 Liters a day with 1,700 cows

Financial Performance Sector net profit (NP) declined at 3 year CAGR of -9% over FY13-FY16 largely due to

pressure on GP margins amidst rise in cost of production

Sector gross profit (GP) declined at a 3 year CAGR of -7% over FY13-FY16 while GP margin declined to 13.5% in FY16 (vs.19.3% in FY13) mainly attributable to the higher costs in the tea segment amid wage hikes

• The latest wage negotiation in 2013 resulted in a +20% wage hike to plantation workers

• Meanwhile, palm oil segment has been able to record GP growth of +6% over FY13-FY16 while segment's GP margin too improved to 54.9% in FY16 (vs. 52.2% in FY13)

SUN’s Plantation sector reported a net profit of Rs.518mn for FY16 (+33% YoY) mainly due to the reduction in net losses in the tea segment

• Palm Oil segment net profit declined -33% YoY to Rs.682mn in FY16 largely due to drop

in global palm oil prices (-6% YoY decline in FY16 to Rs.167/kg). Profitability was also impacted by adverse weather conditions

Plantation Sector

Sector Outlook

Plantation sector net profit forecast at Rs.372mn for FY17E (-28% YoY) largely factoring

another wage increase during FY17E. Although we believe the wage hike to be productivity related, there is still likely to be a notable impact to sector’s bottom-line. Accordingly, GP margin is expected to reduce to 10.9% in FY17E (vs. 13.5% in FY16) • We expect tea segment to record a gross loss of -Rs.288mn in FY17E (vs. a gross loss

of -Rs.23mn in FY16). As indicated by management, the wage increase is likely to post a bottom line hit of ~Rs.250mn to the tea segment

• Meanwhile, palm oil gross profit forecast at Rs.898mn (+9% YoY) for FY17E led by the expected topline growth. However, we expect a slight contraction of the palm oil GP margin to 54.8% in FY17E (vs. 54.9% FY16) mainly considering the wage increase with palm oil having one third of labor requirement vs. tea

FY18E rebound in net profit is forecast at Rs.490mn (+32% YoY) considering sector’s strategy to increase production of high quality tea, yielding better prices while reducing overheads, and also further expected increase in the productivity of the palm oil segment. Consequently, GP margin is expected to improve to 12.9% in FY18E

• We expect tea segment to record a gross loss of -Rs.271mn in FY18E (vs. gross loss of

-Rs.288mn in FY17E). Further, palm oil segment GP to increase +12% YoY to Rs.1,005mn in FY18E while increasing GP margin to 55.1% in FY18E (vs. 54.8% in FY17E) led by expected increase in yield owing to better technology and increasing number of mature plants

Management indicated that the segment is expected to convert its current ~450 hectares of rubber to palm oil over the next few years, with ~150 hectares expected to be converted each year. As per management, it costs ~Rs.3mn per hectare to convert a rubber plantation to palm oil, which will be funded via internally generated cash

• Sector capex forecast at Rs.699mn for FY17E (vs. Rs.289mn in FY16 and Rs.590mn in FY15) and Rs.729mn in FY18E (+4% YoY). Accordingly, sector depreciation forecast to increase +9% YoY to Rs.562mn in FY17E and +10% YoY to Rs.617mn in FY18E

FMCG Sector

SUN’s Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector is represented via ~33% held Watawala Tea Ceylon Ltd (WTCL), which commenced operations in 2001. FMCG portfolio consists of tea (~99% of total sales mix), gift tea boutiques and bottled water

SUN is currently the largest player in the branded tea segment with a ~36% volume market share and value market share of ~34% in FY16. SUN caters through a retail universe of ~80,000 outlets (vs. a total universe of ~120,000 outlets). Meanwhile, sales through modern trade accounts for less than ~20% of SUN’s tea brands • The tea segment includes “Watawala Tea” (~66% of total sales), “Zesta” (Premium

brand;~20% of sales) and “Ran Kahata” (Economy brand:~14% of sales)

Branded Tea Industry Overview

Sri Lanka is estimated to have a total domestic tea market of ~33mnKg, of which branded

tea accounts for ~31%

Branded tea market is estimated to have grown at 4 year CAGR of ~+9% to 10mnKg over FY12-FY16, largely driven by rise in disposable income and increasing trend towards quality tea

Competition The retail tea market in Sri Lanka is highly competitive with about three leading players,

out of a total universe of ~234 companies selling over ~250 brands. The largest player in the domestic branded tea market is SUN (~36% market share) followed by Unilever Sri Lanka (~34%) and Dilmah (~1%) • Unilever Sri Lanka is a multinational FMCG player which was incorporated in Sri Lanka

in 1938, and currently has its own local manufacturing facilities • Lipton is Unilever’s flagship brand and is one of the highest selling tea brands in

the world, in over 110 countries. Lipton is considered to be its premium brand, while Laojee is a black tea which targets the mass market

• Dilmah is a Sri Lankan family owned business which was founded in 1974 by Mr. Merrill J Fernando. Currently “Dilmah” is sold under three companies, namely M.J.F. Teas Ltd, M.J.F. Exports Ltd and listed Ceylon Tea Services (CTEA). Dilmah is mainly an export oriented branded tea company with an outreach of over 90 destinations, marketing the tea under the flagship brand “Dilmah”

Outlook In the medium to long term, we expect branded tea industry to move into a sustainable

growth trajectory, in line with rise in disposable income. Further, given the branded tea segment is undertapped (~31% of the total tea consumption), presents opportunities for industry players amid increase focus on better quality

Financial Performance

Sector NP grew at 4 year CAGR of +16% over FY12-FY16 attributable to double digit

revenue growth and low raw material costs resulting from depressed tea prices

FMCG sector’s EBIT grew at a CAGR of +14% over FY12-FY16 • Consequently, EBIT margin improved to 13.6% in FY16, peaking at 15.9% in FY12 (vs.

12.2% in FY13), largely due to lower tea prices and higher volumes resulting in lower fixed costs

The sector revenue increased at 4 year CAGR of +18% over FY12-FY16 with increased branded tea sales, owing to rising disposable income, strong distribution network and brand equity • SUN’s branded tea volume grew at a 3 year CAGR of +13% (as per available data) over

FY13-FY16 while average prices too estimated to have grown ~+6% over the period

FMCG Sector

Financial Performance

FMCG sector has been a highly cash generating business, with no leverage. Sector recorded a net cash balance of Rs.401mn as at 31 March 2016

SUN’s FMCG sector reported a net profit of Rs.423mn for FY16 (+8% YoY; 22% of total NP)

largely driven by higher volumes. The sector revenue grew +18% YoY to Rs.3,440mn in FY16, amid an estimated ~+16% YoY growth in branded tea volumes • Sector EBIT margin declined to 13.6% in FY16 (vs. 15.3% in FY15) attributable to

expenses incurred to expand the export business

Sector Outlook

FMCG sector net profit forecast at Rs.477mn (+13% YoY) in FY17E and Rs.560mn (+17% YoY) in FY18E, largely driven by topline growth

Revenue forecast at Rs.3,899mn for FY17E (+13% YoY) and Rs.4,511mn for FY18E (+16% YoY) driven by the volume growth primarily from “Watawala Tea”. Some moderation in revenue growth is expected in FY17E owing to an anticipated slowdown in the consumption drive, amid tight macro policies, though expected to pick in the medium term • We expect segment branded tea volumes to increase +12% YoY in FY17E to 4.1mnKg

and +14% YoY in FY18E to 4.7mnKg

We broadly maintain EBIT margin at 13.6% in FY17E amid anticipated modest recovery in global tea prices, which is the main raw material in the segment. Meanwhile, we expect a pickup in EBIT margins to 14.0% in FY18E considering higher fixed costs being absorbed by higher volumes

Energy sector

Sunshine Energy Ltd, 61% owned subsidiary of SUN, commissioned its first mini hydropower plant in Lindula (Central Province of Sri Lanka) in February 2012, with a capacity of 1.62MW of power to provide to the national grid. Sector contribution to overall group profitability is negligible, with less than 1% of total revenue in FY16

• The company has commenced construction of two new mini hydro power projects for which

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) have been signed with the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) during FY16. Construction of the second plant (2.8MW) is expected to be completed by early FY17E and the third (2.6MW) by end of FY17E. Upon completion, total capacity of SUN’s energy sector would increase to 7MW

• Energy sector reported a revenue of Rs.129mn (+7% YoY) for FY16 amid heavy inter monsoonal rainfall and improved plant and grid stability resulting in a net profit of Rs.32mn (+62% YoY)

• We forecast the sector to record a net profit of Rs.45mn in FY17E (+40% YoY) and Rs.65mn for FY18E (+46% YoY) amid anticipated addition of the two mini hydro power plants. sector earnings are however vulnerable to erratic weather patterns

Packaging Sector

Sunshine Packaging Ltd (SPL), a 60% owned subsidiary of SUN, engages in the manufacture and printing of metal packaging and is the market leader in categories such as tea caddies and confectionary boxes. Sector contribution to group revenue was ~2% in FY16

• In May 2016, Hong Kong based Primeco Holdings Ltd infused US$2mn to SPL.

Consequently, SUN’s holding in SPL reduced to 60% (vs. previous 100%)

Packaging sector reported a revenue growth of +34% YoY to Rs.362mn in FY16, with strong contribution from printed sheets. Further, company’s efforts to venture into export of direct value added tin packs too saw an increased contribution to topline. Consequently, sector reported a net profit of Rs.16mn for FY16 (vs. a net loss of -Rs.24mn in FY15)

We forecast a net profit of Rs.20mn (+25% YoY) for FY17E and Rs.28mn (+41% YoY) for FY18E

Group Financial Review

Group revenue grew at a 5 year CAGR of +10%, driven by key healthcare sector (5

year CAGR of +11%) amid rising demand for pharmaceuticals and the FMCG sector (5 year CAGR of +18%) attributable to improved branded tea sales. Meanwhile, plantation sector revenue grew at a 5 year CAGR +6%

SUN’s FY16 revenue rose to Rs.17,422mn (+7% YoY), largely led by healthcare (41% of group revenue) and FMCG (20% of group revenue) compensating for the weak performance in the plantation sector

Group EBIT increased at a 5 year CAGR of +5% during FY11-FY16, on the back of operating expenditure rising at a 5 year CAGR of +17% amid increased brand building related expenses in the healthcare sector Margin pressure from the plantation sector was somewhat negated, subsequent to

adopting a strategy to greater focus on high quality tea over quantity

SUN’s FY16 net profit increased to Rs.587mn (+21% YoY, 5 year CAGR of +3% FY11-FY16) largely due to strong performance in the healthcare sector (50% of total NP) followed by the FMCG sector (22% of total NP)

Net Finance cost

SUN’s net debt position amounted to Rs.270mn as at 31 March 2016 while net debt to equity of 5% in FY16 vs. 31% in FY12

SUN’s total debt position has been broadly constant over the years and stood at Rs.1,736mn as at 31 March 2016, primarily attributable to the energy and plantation sectors. Meanwhile, FMCG sector denoted a net cash positive position • Group leverage declined from a peak of Rs.1,844mn in FY12 with reduction in debt in

EMSPL, which is the holding company for both plantation and FMCG sectors

SUN reported a net finance cost of Rs.68mn in FY16 (-36% YoY)

Capital Expenditure

FY16 capex amounted to Rs.902mn, with majority attributable to the energy

sector (Rs.373mn, 41% of total capex) with the two mini hydro power plants under construction for a total investment of Rs.1.1bn. Rise in capex was curtailed during FY16 due to lower capex in the plantation sector (Rs.289mn in FY16 vs. Rs.590mn in FY15), attributable to significant upgrading in the tea factories and palm oil mill in the comparative period

Capex peaked in FY12 at Rs.1,270mn amidst the construction of its first

1.7MW hydro plant in Lindula (Waltrim) at a total investment of ~Rs.500mn

Outlook & Valuations

SUN’s NP forecast at Rs.628mn for FY17E (+7% YoY) and Rs.753mn for FY18E (+20% YoY), driven by the healthcare and FMCG sectors. Further, the plantation sector is anticipated to recover, with the new strategies adopted in the tea segment and increased bottom-line contribution from the palm oil segment

We forecast capex to rise +30% YoY to Rs.1,166mn through FY17E-FY18E, mainly attributable

to the conversion of rubber lands (450Ha) into palm oil and remaining investments in the mini hydro power plants • Consequently, depreciation forecast at Rs.562mn in FY17E (+9% YoY) and Rs.617mn in

FY18E (+10% YoY)

Group net debt position forecast at Rs.316mn for FY17E (+17% YoY) and Rs.303mn for FY18E (-4% YoY) • Group finance costs forecast at Rs.193mn for FY17E (+9% YoY) amid expected rise in debt

levels, with anticipated capex incurred in the plantation sector, though most of which is projected to be funded internally. Meanwhile FY18E finance costs anticipated at Rs.183mn (-5% YoY) with expected deleveraging

We forecast SUN to marginally increase its dividend payout to 25% in FY17E and FY18E (vs.

24% in FY16)

Given SUN’s relatively strong Balance Sheet, the group has the capacity to leverage on future prospects

Group effective tax rate (ETR) forecast at 24.0% for both FY17E and FY18E (vs. 23.5% in

FY16)

SUN’s share declined -4% YoY (vs. ASI -13% YoY). The share also outperformed the broader market in the past five years rising at a CAGR of +5% (vs. ASI -2%), reaching an all-time high of Rs.63.4 in November 2014. In addition, SUN’s one year average daily turnover is low at just US$8,651 while the average quantity traded was 22,810. SUN announced a 1 into 10 subdivision of shares to improve liquidity in 2010

SUN share is trading at PER multiples of 10.9x FY17E and 9.1x FY18E (vs. diversified sector trailing 12 month TTM per of 14.9x), whilst offering an ROE of ~10%-11% in the medium term. We believe, a partial discount is warranted given SUN’s relatively high exposure to the volatile plantation sector, limited effective holding in growing FMCG sector and relative illiquidity. SUN is currently trading at a 16% discount to its SOTP value though we believe share seems to lack a near term catalyst to narrow this gap

Share may find favour among medium to long term investors given SUN is well positioned to leverage on the expected growth in the local pharmaceutical industry amid anticipated rise in the disposable income, ageing population and rise in Non Commutable Diseases. Further, we anticipate an increased contribution from the FMCG sector to bottom line given the rising demand for branded tea in the domestic market

Sum of the parts (SOTP)

An approximate SOTP valuation for SUN suggests that the share is currently trading at ~16% discount to its breakup NAV of Rs.60

Among SUN’s sectors, the highest valuation is attributed to the healthcare sector at Rs.4.2bn (52% of total NAV). We have derived the NAV for the sector using the DCF valuation method, assuming a WACC of 14% and a terminal growth rate of 2%. Further, beta was assumed at 1.12x in line with regional pharmaceutical companies. EBIT margin expected at 7.7% in terminal year (vs. current 7.2%) and revenue growth is estimated to fall to 5% YoY in the terminal year (vs. current 18% YoY) • The sector lacks local proxies to consider other valuation methods. HHL is the only

comparable proxy, however, group financials do not disclose adequate information on the pharmaceutical segment

FMCG sector is valued at Rs.1.3bn with a 16% value composition, again using the DCF

valuation method, assuming a WACC of 19% and a terminal growth rate of 2%. Unlevered beta was assumed at 1.06x, in line with regional FMCG players. EBIT margin forecast at 14.5% in terminal year (vs. current 13.6%) while the revenue growth is projected at 8% YoY in the terminal year (vs. current 18% YoY) • We believe, the sector could in fact command higher valuations given its strong

Balance Sheet, market leadership and significant potential in the under penetrated branded tea market segment

• However, SUN’s current lower holding in the growing FMCG segment (~33% effective holding) could act as a deterrent to higher valuations. Therefore, we believe the sector value could further increase if SUN is able to acquire a higher stake in the FMCG business

We derived a valuation of Rs.1.2bn for the plantation sector based on the Enterprise Value

(EV) of listed WATA (SUN has 25% effective holding in WATA)

Packaging sector was also valued based on an estimated EV of the recent equity infusion (40% equity infusion by Primeco Holdings Ltd, amounting to US$2mn)

The energy sector was valued using a EV/EBIT of 7.2x (discounted to listed mini hydro players, 9.2x EV/EBIT; Panasian Power, Vallibel Power Erathna) for the existing plant. Further, the expected new plants are valued using a conservative PBV multiple of 1.4x, applying a discount to listed players (vs. PBV of 1.9x)

Other investments (80% unquoted) are valued at the balance sheet value as at 31 Mar 2016

in the country (~350 medical marketing and sales personnel) • Dominance in the branded tea segment with increasing market share (currently at~36%) • Strong distribution network under the FMCG sector with access to ~80,000 retail outlets (vs. a

~120,000 total universe) across Sri Lanka, with pure focus on branded tea • Focused and wider distribution network in FMCG sector with only emphasis on branded tea

(~80,000 retail outlets) • Competitive advantage in the plantation sector in expertise and technology amid joint venture

partnership with Wilmar International, one of Asia’s largest palm oil producers • Strong balance-sheet with relatively modest gearing levels at ~5% net debt to equity,

providing room to leverage for future expansion plans

Weaknesses

• High exposure to the labour intensive tea segment, burdened by rising costs, weak prices and susceptible to erratic weather patterns

• Limited effective holding of just 33% limits group from reaping full benefits of fast growing FMCG sector

Opportunities • Significant growth potential in the underpenetrated branded tea market (~40%) in Sri Lanka • Strong prospects in both healthcare and FMCG sector amid rising disposable income and Sri

Lanka moving towards an upper middle class economy • Growing presence in preventive care and wellness products with changes in modern lifestyles • Actively increasing exposure in higher margin palm oil segment due to its better yields and

lower labour intensive nature

Threats • Low branding equity coupled with stiff competition in the highly fragmented retail

pharmaceutical network (~2,800 pharmacies) • Current weak regulatory environment resulted in an uneven playing field in the

pharmaceutical industry, where the state is the largest player (though predominantly in generics)

• Vulnerable to currency fluctuations and higher import related costs in the pharmaceuticals amid regulated price ceilings
