RHB Capital Bhd - Assessing the impact of potential rights issue

Based on our analysis, we think that RHBCap will raise a total of RM1bn to RM3bn from a potential rights issue aimed at reducing its gearing at the holding company level. We estimate that the exercise could dilute its FY16 EPS by 4-12%. For now, we retain our DDM-based target price (cost of equity of 11.8%, long-term growth of 4%). Despite the possibility of a rights issue, RHB Capital remains an Add and our top pick for the sector as we are positive on its earnings prospects given the re-rating catalysts of (1) above-industry loan growth, (2) benefits from its IGNITE 17 transformation programme, and (3) swift expansion in Singapore.

Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Hasan Malek said complaints on the matter had been pouring in since the start of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on 1 Apr. The grouses are rooted in the fact that the 6% GST is applied to both the service charge and the total price of food and beverage items. In short, consumers end up forking out more money than before.

The Road Transport Department (RTD) is asking driving institutes to absorb the 6% Goods and Services Tax (GST) to help ease the burden of people taking driving tests. RTD director-general Datuk Seri Ismail Ahmad said driving institutes were called to undertake the tax as a corporate social responsibility to help their customers.

"Driving licence and road tax are not imposed with GST, only the services provided by the driving institutes are taxed...so I am urging them to emulate the move by several hypermarkets such as Mydin to help their customers. I hope the 205 driving institutes in the country would heed the call to absorb the tax for the benefit of their customers," he said. (Bernama)

Former PM Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has rubbished suggestions that he is aligned with the opposition, saying that he is still very much and Umno member. He said that if saying something similar to the opposition made him aligned with the opposition, then PM Datuk Seri Najib Rzak "must be more" with the opposition because he agreed to abolish the Internal Security Act, the prevention of crime law and ignore the NEP. Dr Mahathir said he was still an Umno member and that his disagreement was with Najib and not the party.

On suggestion that it was unfair of him to ask Najib to step down because he was elected democratically, Dr Mahathir claimed that Najib was instrumental in asking former PM Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to step down. (Star)

Maybank will provide multi-currency facility for fund-raising activities outside the country following a growing client base. Group president/CEO Datuk Abdul Farid Alias said there are specific situations for the lending to be in US dollars.

"Historically, we have relied on our limited deposits like interbank and the money-market, and these are not a good way to manage the exposure. As we are not a natural US dollar deposit-taking institution and we do not have natural US dollar depositors in the country or around the region, the most appropriate way to manage this is to have a proper medium-term funding strategy," he added.

He said this when asked to comment on the bank's intention to undertake a fund-raising exercise for working capital, general banking and other corporate purposes in a foreign country. (Bernama)

Maybank will open a branch in Kunming, China, this week to leverage on the growing trade and investment links existing between Southwest China and ASEAN. Chairman Tan Sri Megat Zaharuddin Megat Mohd Nor said the Kunming branch will be Maybank's fourth branch in Greater China, after Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing.

He said the opening of the new branch is a strategic move for Maybank not only because of the potential that exists in China but also because the Yunnan province alone is well positioned as a gateway to South Asia and ASEAN. Maybank Greater China recorded a pre-tax profit of RM300m in FY14. (Bernama)

Sunway's ability to sustain its financial metrics amid a more challenging property market has prompted RAM Rating Services to revised upwards the outlook for its debt issues. It said it had revised the outlook on the A2 long-term ratings of Sunway’s debt issues from stable to positive. “This was mainly premised on the group’s ability to sustain its financial metrics amid a more challenging property market, anchored by its resilient property business and growing contributions from its construction arm,” it said.

“The gap between its gearing ratios and debt-protection metrics and that of its higher-rated peers had also narrowed. High unbilled sales and a strong construction order book should help tide Sunway over a slower property market,” it said.

“Unbilled sales have hovered at a robust RM2.5bn, offering earnings visibility of 1.5x the group’s sales for 2014. “Despite the softer market, the take-up rates of the Group’s recent project launches – including its maiden venture in Sunway Iskandar in 2014 – have stayed healthy.

“For this year, Sunway expects flat sales growth, targeting the sale of RM1.7bn worth of properties, as achieved in 2014,” it said. (StarBiz)

Malaysia Airlines has denied a London-bound flights was involved in a near miss with another plane. The airline issued a statement following reports by Asian media outlets that one of its planes destined for London narrowly avoided a collision in skies over Pakistan. It had been claimed the flight nearly crashed with a Kuwait Airlines plane heading to Islamabad. But Malaysia Airlines 'strongly denies' the reports and said it does not even fly over Pakistan because of safety fears.

A spokesman said: "Malaysia Airlines strongly denies that one of its flights to London experienced a near-miss with a Kuwait Airways aircraft over Pakistan airspace on Sunday, 5 April 2015. "Following a Safety Information Bulletin (SIB) issued by EASA early this year, Malaysia Airlines has avoided the Pakistani airspace due to increased risk to flight operation safety." (Mirror)

Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB) is buying the German Embassy land here for cash consideration of RM259.1m. MRCB said on Tuesday it had entered into a sale and purchase agreement with the government of the Federal Republic of Germany to acquire the 1.86 acres of land with the buildings. To recap, on 26 January 2015, MRCB participated in a tender called by the vendor for the land. “The tender price of RM259.1m or RM3,188 psf is about 6% higher than the market value of the land based on the appraisal conducted by CH Williams Talhar & Wong and Raine & Horne International Zaki & Partners,” it said.

Malaysia's oil & gas sector's M&As this year are expected to fall slightly to US$5bn from US$5.7bn last year. Deloitte Malaysia Energy and Resources leader Nizar Najib said some firms may have cashed out to launch acquisitions but the others may not have the means to undertake M&As due to depletion in their order books. "The acquisitions will likely be more domestic-focused as Malaysian firms are interested to consolidate locally," he said.

Nizar said companies might resort to M&As to revamp their operations and cope with rising costs. "Oil field service companies facing pressure to reduce cost may see M&As as a way to enhance their capabilities and acquire new technologies," he added. (Bernama)

Deloitte expects Petronas to continue to exhibit resilience and strong performance this year as it focuses on streamlining its LNG and downstream business. Deloitte Malaysia's energy and resources leader Nizar Najib said the national oil company, which previously has been focusing on margin-based and upstream business, now has leveraged on volume rather than margin.

"Which is why Petronas had switch gear to focus on LNG such as Floating LNG1, Floating LNG2 and downstream projects like Pengerang and Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAPID). The company is repositioning downstream and divesting its portfolio," he said. (Bernama)

Kidex Sdn Bhd, the developer of the RM2.4bn Kinrara Damansara Expressway (Kidex), will have to bear the losses due to the aborted highway project, said Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. "They will bear the losses because they are the one that came up with the proposal. When it comes to the business proposal, they already knew that there is a risk of the proposal being approved or rejected," he said, noting the cancellation of the 14.9km fully elevated expressway also creates confusion to the developer.

Guocoland (M) Bhd’s net profit for its third quarter ended March 31 slipped 26% to RM11.63m from RM15.71m a year earlier, mainly due to a lower contribution from the group’s commercial development sub-segment and joint ventures. The company, however, said the reduction in the contribution from commercial projects was mitigated by the increased contribution in the residential development sub-segment.

Revenue in the third quarter dropped to RM52.75m from RM58.44m a year ago. For the nine-month period, net profit dropped to RM17.43m from RM40.91m, while revenue fell to RM136.55m from RM178.59m previously. (StarBiz)

Prokhas Sdn Bhd, the in-house restructuring outfit of the Finance Ministry (MoF), has been tasked to help sister company 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) deal with cash-flow problems tied to its debt obligations.

It is learnt that Prokhas was roped in to assist 1MDB, which needs about RM5bil this year to meet its debt obligations. “Prokhas has come into the picture, which is why CIMB Investment Bank Bhd that was appointed two weeks ago to look into the sale of 1MDB’s energy assets has been out of the job,” said a source.

The amount due this year is largely to cover the payment of a US$975m term loan taken by 1MDB Energy Holdings Ltd that falls due on Aug 31 this year. At the current exchange rate of 3.64 to the US dollar, the maturing term loan is valued at RM3.55bn. (StarBiz)

The first property project on land alienated in relation to Penang’s massive highway and traffic mitigation venture will have a gross development value of RM800m. Ewein Bhd and Consortium Zenith BUCG Sdn Bhd will undertake the mixed development project on 3.67 acres in Bandar Tanjong Pinang, expected to start in the second half of this year.

Yesterday, the Penang Island City Council approved the building plans for the development on the parcel of land alienated to Ewein Zenith, a 60:40 joint venture between Ewein and Consortium Zenith.

The parcel forms part of the 110 acres of freehold land to be alienated by the Penang government to Consortium Zenith or its nominees as partial payment for construction works on the RM6.3bn mega project which includes a 6.5km undersea tunnel. Consortium Zenith is also allowed to collect toll for the undersea tunnel for 30 years. (StarBiz)

Indonesia is likely to approve this week a proposal to impose palm oil export levies, while it is also considering extending a similar fee to shipments of rubber and coffee from the country, a government official and a media report said. Indonesia plans to levy US$50 on every tonne of crude palm oil (CPO) shipped at a zero export tax rate to fund the country's recently announced biodiesel subsidies.

According to the Jakarta Post, a US$30 levy will be added on processed palm oil product exports. When CPO prices drop below $750 a tonne on an average, Indonesia - the world's top producer of the tropical oil - cuts the monthly tax on its CPO exports to zero.

"Once the finance minister arrives on Wednesday this week," Chief Economic Minister Sofyan Djalil said late on Monday to a question on when the palm levy would become law."It's still waiting some ministers because the finance minister is out of town," he said. "Once the president signs it, it can be implemented directly." (Reuters)
