STOCK FOCUS
Beijing Capital International Airport (694 HK)
2013: Results In Line With Expectations; Strong Free Cash Flow Is Key
Attraction
Results were broadly in line but BCIA guided for a more moderate growth in 2014. Still,
we expect BCIA to generate strong cash flow. At our target price, the stock offers a
decent 2.8% dividend yield and attractive free cash flow yield of 6.8%. Maintain BUY.
Target price: HK$7.00.
RESULTS
Earnings broadly in line, boosted by lower business tax and higher landing charges.
Aeronautical revenue growth was underpinned by higher passenger service charges
(PSC) and an increase in international landing charges. Non-aeronautical revenue was
underpinned by a steep rise in carpark revenue, while concession-based revenue grew
a marginal 1.4% yoy. A move to the VAT regime and exclusion of international
aeronautical revenue as taxable revenue led to a 61% yoy decline in business tax,
excluding which, net profit would have risen by a lower 6.3% yoy.
Marginal 0.9ppt decline in EBITDA margin but not a concern. EBITDA margin at 53.6%
is still very healthy and the decline was mostly due to an increase in leasing cost
(terminal 3D Rmb 131.3m) and higher maintenance costs. The latter is likely to stabilise
in the years ahead. Retail spending per pax grew at the slowest pace in three years.
Excluding the VAT impact, retail sales rose 5.7% yoy, while per pax retail sales would
have risen 3.4% yoy. The relatively slow sales reflected the generally weaker economic
conditions. Management also noted that retail sales will be impacted by weaker
international pax throughput. We have assumed a slower 1% yoy growth for 2014.
STOCK IMPACT
Cautious 2.0-2.5% pax throughput growth for 2014 and BCIA expects only single digit
profit growth. At the post results conference, management indicated that air travel could
slow down in 2014 due to: a) Kunming knife attack, and b) the disappearance of
MH370. They also noted that the Beijing-Shanghai HSR diverted about 2% of domestic
air travel in 2013. BCIA is in talks with Tianjin airport to divert some of the domestic
flights to the airport to improve on-time performance (OTP). If it is successful and BCIA
achieves 90% OTP, there is scope for more slots to be allocated to BCIA. For 2014, we
assume a 2.1% yoy rise in pax throughput.

Does not expect terminal 3D to break even in 2014. Management alluded to higher
costs, but indicated that overall utilisation will improve as Air China plans to move some
aircraft to the terminal.Shift in operating model for ground traffic centre will lower profits
but will also reduce debt and capex burden. Revenue from GTC assets (mainly
carpark) was obtained on a concession model. However, BCIA now shares the profits
with its parent, while the latter assumes the debt and depreciation burden. BCIA
alluded that the net impact is negative but is hopeful of an upward revision in carpark
fees. Management highlighted that BCIA had increased car parking fees in most areas
but not at BCIA.
Strong FCF is key attraction. In 2013, BCIA generated Rmb2.8b in free cash flow
(FCF). We see this declining to Rmb2.5b in 2014. Even so, this would translate into 12x
FCF, or an attractive 8.3x FCF yield at HK$5.79.
EARNINGS REVISION/RISK
We lower our 2014 net profit forecast by 7.4% to reflect a projected forex loss of
Rmb45m on US$-denominated loans as well as lower retail spending.
VALUATION/RECOMMENDATION
Maintain BUY. We continue to value BCIA on a DCF basis until 2017 and assume a 1%
terminal growth rate and WACC of 9.3%. Our target price is raised marginally to
HK$7.00 (from HK$6.70) due to stronger-than-expected cash flow.
SHARE PRICE CATALYST
Increase in parking charges and stronger-than-expected traffic growth.

TRADERS’ CORNER
Hang Seng Index
Reiterate Our Earlier Forecast
The Hang Seng Index ended last Friday lower at
21,539. The index penetrated the 0.618x
retracement level to close yesterday at 21,182;
shy of the upside gap at 21,044.
Against the backdrop of MACD, we reiterate the
index will test the 0.76x retracement level at
20,537 after it completely re-fills the previous
upside gap at 21,044.
If the 20,537 level fails as the support, the index
will see increasing odds to test the key low at
HK$19,426.
\
Swire Pacific (19)
Moving Within The Symmetrical Triangle
Swire Pacific is moving within a symmetrical
triangle.
With reference to the increasing On Balance
Volume Indicator (OBV), the stock is looking for
an upside breakout.
According to the size of the triangle, an upside
breakout will propel the stock to reach
HK$93.13.
On the other hand, the first support is at
HK$83.15 in case of a downside breakout.
