On mobile so give you a quick answer.
Plantation not making money now due to poor cpo price, with higher price will start to contribute to bottom line. Plantation asset in indon is still very young, like average 5 yo if not mistaken, so still producing low yield fruits.
History of SPV is lumpy, depending on contracts from government. Also due to recent low price of steel, margin expansion for mill works will be seen down the line. So far in 2015 obtained 200 mil order book for mill, expect to increase to 400 mil by end year.
Higher cpo price will allow plantation to move to higher margin cpo production rather than selling ffb.
Anyway good analysis there, and yes first res is recommended, their average tree age is 9 yo, just entering peak yield, a good sweetspot.
Thanks abg gark. seems like abg boon de wood still hotter haha.
Not sure how does yield affects profit, but let me try First Res:
Neutral
El Nino - apparently strongest since 97-98 - drives CPO prices but reduces production
Pros
10% yearly production growth
Mostly young plantations which will likely recover from El Nino faster
Stronger CPO prices both due to El Nino and weak ringgit
Weaker IDR. Based on AR, every 10% increase in USD/IDR increase PBT by 7mil
Fair Value
1. Since net profit mainly contributed by CPO so ignore FFB and refinery
2. 1Q & 2Q sales 100m, cost 70m, profit 30m per Q
3. Historically 2H production is about 1.4 of 1H - 140m, cost 98m, profit 42m per Q
4. CPO price increased from RM2k to RM2.4k per ton - 20% increase which will directly increase 4Q sales by 20%
5. Assume CPO prices remains at RM2.4k throughout end of the year. Offsetting further increase in CPO prices with lower 4Q production due to El NiNo
So FY15 profit estimate = 1H Profit + Q3 Profit * 1.4 + (Q4 sales * CPO increase - Q4 Cost) * 1.4
= 30 + 30 + 30 * 1.4 + (100*1.2 - 70)*1.4 = 172m
i.e. EPS USD 11.3cents or SGD 15.8cents. Assuming PE11, fair value is SGD $1.70
FY16 profit estimate = (FY15 estimated sales * CPO increase - FY15 Estimated Cost) * Growth
= (480 * 1.2 - 336) * 1.1 = 264m i.e. EPS SGD 24cents. Assuming PE11, fair value is SGD $2.60 (CPO at 2.4k)
= (480 * 1.1 - 336) * 1.1 = 211m i.e. EPS SGD 19.5cents. Assuming PE11, fair value is SGD $2.15 (CPO at 2.2k)
Current price already $1.70. So questions is whether CPO price can average at RM2.4k entire FY16?
