l Equity Research l Hong Kong l Real Estate 17 March 2014 Kerry Properties 2013 results review – Inexpensive valuations Kerry Properties’ 2013 underlying profit declined 6% to HKD OUTPERFORM (unchanged) 4.41bn, which is in line with the consensus estimate but PRICE as of 17 Mar 2014 PRICE TARGET below our estimate. Final DPS was unchanged at HKD 0.55. Kerry raised its 2014 sales target to HKD 12.0bn, which is near its 2013 target of HKD 11bn. Leasing performance at Jing An Kerry Centre (JKC) is improving, and management expects its rentals (office and retail) to reach RMB 700mn. We think the stock valuations are inexpensive at a 65% discount to NAV. We maintain our Outperform rating with a new price target of HKD 35.70 (previous: HKD 38.10). 2013 results in line with consensus. Kerry’s 2013 underlying profit declined 6% to HKD 4.41bn, which was in line with the Bloomberg consensus estimate of HKD 4.46bn but 5% below our estimate (partly due to lower Hong Kong development margins). Improved balance sheet. Kerry’s 2013 net gearing was 31.0% (after the spinoff of KLN in December 2013), which is lower than 36.3% as of end-1H13 and management’s target of 35%. We expect the gearing ratio to improve further to c.29% in 2014, with positive cash flow from development and higher rental income. Sales target for 2014 at HKD 12bn. Kerry’s 2013 contracted sales of HKD 5.5bn in Hong Kong and HKD 5.2bn in China were near its 2013 target of HKD 11bn. Management guided for a 2014 target of HKD 12bn. YTD, Kerry has achieved HKD 1.9bn of sales in Hong Kong (29% of the HKD 6.5bn target) and HKD 0.8bn in China (15% of the HKD 5.5bn target). Its 2014 target capex is HKD 6-7bn. The company plans to launch the Ede Road and LaSalle Road projects by mid-2014 and the Kau To Shan project by end-2014. JKC’s leasing performance improves. Committed occupancy in JKC’s retail and office spaces improved to 95% (from over 90% as of end-1H13) and 72% (from 56%), respectively. Kerry is aiming for RMB 700mn in rental contributions from the project. Tianjin Kerry Centre has signed letters of intent for 35% of the spaces. Inexpensive valuations. We maintain our Outperform rating with a lower price target of HKD 35.70 (previous: HKD 38.10), which is based on an unchanged 45% discount to NAV. We lower our NAV estimate to HKD 64.80 (from 69.30), mainly on higher debt assumptions and lower market value of Kerry Logistics Network (KLN). We have left our 2014E/15E earnings largely unchanged.
