    Asian Instant Insight

    South Korea: BoK Decision (Oct 2013)Key Facts

    The policy rate was again left unchangedat 2.50%, as expected.

    BoK sounds i ncrementally more re laxedwith each meeting.

    China uptick and currency stabilisationlikely supplying succour.

    Inflation outlook remains benign butunlikely to drive policy.

    The BoK left its policy rate unchanged at 2.50% atthe October meeting. The Banks assessment ofboth the external and domestic growth outlooks ispredominantly positive, with special mention givento an uptick in China. Inflation is expected to below, a view carried over from previous meetings,but not sufficiently so to s uggest further policyaction is likely. Though we have misgivings aboutthe sustainability of Chinas recent growth spurt,the BoKs macro view is broadly similar to our own.

    We expect the policy rate to be on hold during 2014.

    With each successive decision since the 7-day repo ratewas last cut ( by 25bp) i n May, the Bank of Kore a hassounded incrementally more relaxed about the policybackdrop. This continued in October. In the accompanyingstatement, the B oKs Monetary Policy Committee retainedits view that the global economy will sustain its modestrecovery going forward while its assessment of currentexternal conditions was markedly more upbeat than inearlier months. In particular, China was noted as havingshown signs of recovery; by comparison, the Auguststatement singled China out as a potential policy concern.The BoK also sounded more optimistic about Europe (or, atleast, less pessimistic).

    The Banks catalogue of external risks has also evolvedsomewhat. Octobers statement dropped mention of theissue of fiscal consolidation in major countries, insteadspecifically noting the heightening of uncertaintiessurrounding the US government budget bill and debt ceilingincrease. These risks are neither mutually exclusive nordirectly comparable but wed judge the BoKs overall worrylevel hasnt lifted appreciably compared to previous months.

    China is the one possible blind spot in the BoKs externalrisk assessment, in our view. As w eve pointed o utpreviously, the recent lift in Chinas activity data was largelyinfrastructure-driven and credit-fuelled, serving only to delaythe needed rebalancing of the Chinese economy to m ore

    sustainable growth drivers. This transition will inevitablymean lower Chinese overall growth, with the potential to bea major drag on Asian trading partners.

    On the d omestic front, BoK seems as comfortable withKorean as with global prospects. It now judges exports tobe showing buoyancy, an upgrade from the languageused in September. Overall, the Committee appraises themoderate economic growth to be continuing. The tone isonly incrementally different from in September but is clearlymore positive than an earlier assessment that Koreangrowth was weak and driven exclusively by exports.

    BoKs outlook of inflation is that it w ill remain low for the

    time being, a view essentially unchanged from earlier. Thisis despite a sharp drop in headline inflation to 0.8% y/y inSeptember which the B ank attributes to falling commodityprices. This is a fair assessment, but it will make it thatmuch harder for the headline rate to climb back to the 2.5-3.5% target range, especially given the BoKsacknowledgement that commodity prices are likely tocontinue to compress headline inflation going forward.

    At the same time, core inflation will also be under pressure,courtesy of a negative output gap. BoK notes that the outputgap will narrow but remain negative for a considerable timegoing forward. This is broadly in line with our view that theoutput gap will swing into positive territory only late nextyear. This means headline inflation wont return to the target

    range until well into 2015 in our view.

    Overall, the BoKs assessment of current and likely futureeconomic conditions is similar to our own. Koreas growthprospects are l ooking up, with demand for manufacturedexports set to increase next year in l ine with improvement inadvanced economies. If th ere is a particular motivation tocut rates again, it is the extremely soft inflation outlook. ButBoK has held expectations of low inflation for some timewithout feeling compelled to ease further. Furthermore, thecentral bank shares our v iew that inflati on will increase,albeit slowly and belatedly. This suggests that rates will beon hold for some time, though with risk skewed towardanother cut.

    Asian Instant Insight

    Australia: Labour Market (Sep 2013)Key Facts

    Employment rose by 9.1k, reversingAugusts decline.

    Full-time employment edged up butcontinues to trend lower.

    Unemployment drops t o 5.6%, driven byanother clear fall in participation.

    Soft undertones are unlikely to alterRBAs view.

    Total employment increased 9.1k in September,roughly in line with expectations, and effectivelycountered a similarly-sized fall the previous month.That helped the unemployment rate lower, to 5.6%.But the biggest driver of officially-measured

    joblessness is falling participation, which declinedto a 7-year low, itself an indication of falling jobprospects. Hours worked fell slightly from a monthearlier but a positive trend suggests GDP growthwill remain around 0.6% QoQ in Q3. Ov erall thereport portrays a st ill-weakening labour market, in

    our view, but will not prompt a f orward-lookingRBA to ease further.

    Septembers Australian labour report was a mixed bag. Thetwo key data points were good: total employment increased9.1k, due to roughly equal gains in full- and part-time jobs,while the unemployment rate dropped to 5.6%, a four-monthlow. The latter w as better than market expectation forunemployment to remain unchanged at 5.8%.

    Beyond these headlines, however, the bulk of Septembersfigures portrayed a still-soft labour market. Trendemployment, a bett er barometer of the un derlying state ofthe labour market than the inherently noisy headline figure,fell for th e fourth consecutive month. This is the l ongest

    string of mo nthly trend em ployment declines since theglobal financial crisis, and is driven entirely by falls i n thenumber of full-time jobs. The substitution of part-time for full-time positions suggests businesses are uncertain abouttheir prospects, something also borne out by weak readingsin surveyed capex intentions.

    The drop in t he unemployment rate similarly disguisedworsening fundamentals. Though helped by Septembersemployment increase, easily the bigg est influence on theunemployment rate was a drop in the rate of la bour forceparticipation to 64.9, its lowest level since the end of 2006.Falling participation effectively means fewer people to countas unemployed and, having looked to have stabilised inearly 2013, participation has fallen sharply since June.

    Numerically, the c alculation of the u nemployment rate ishighly sensitive to changes in participation. We estimatethat without the 0.1 percentage point fall in participation inSeptember, for instance, the unemployment rate wouldhave remained unchanged from Augusts 5.8%. Longerterm, if t he labour force participation rate were now at its

    mid-2011 level of 65.6 just 0.7 percentage points higherthan at present we calculate that the unemployment ratewould be around 6 .7%, not the 5.6% as recorded. Fallingparticipation is also a s ign of a weak labour market in itsown right, how ever, implying potential job seekers are sodiscouraged about employment prospects that theywithdraw from the job-hunt all together.

    Against these weak fundamentals, aggregate hours workedprovided a slightly more positive tone. Though down slightlymonth-on-month, hours worked for th e three months to

    September increased 0.6%, the fastest three-month pacesince the e nd of 2 011. This suggests Q3 GDP growth islikely hold at around its Q2 pace of 2 .6% YoY. From th eperspective of households, longer hours will also be helpingto offset the hit to incomes from lower participation, fallingemployment and slower wage growth.

    Overall, Septembers employment report was not as go odas initial headlines suggested. Markets seemed to sharethis assessment; AUD rallied briefly following the datarelease before being caught in a w ider sell-off. From apolicy perspective, however, the fi gures are u nlikely tomake much difference to the view of the RBA which alreadyexpected the labour market to remain weak. More importantfor the policy outlook are nascent signs that the wider

    Australian economy is improving. We retain our view thatrates will be on hold for the duration.

    Malaysia: Shuffling the deck chairs

    Rumours are circling the government may remove housing loans made to civil

    servants from its balance sheet and transfer them to the DFIs and commercial banks.

    If removed, the l oans lower Federal g overnment debt by 4.4pp of G DP, suggesting

    additional headroom from the governments self-imposed debt ceiling at 55% of GDP.

    This should not be v iewed as fiscal consolidation but rather a de sperate effort t o

    avoid breaking the debt ceiling that risks further straining fiscal credibility.

    While the government is well within its rights to take such action, it appears politically

    motivated and, in our view, makes negative rating action more likely, not less.

    Malaysian media has reported that a local analyst, in their 2014 Budget preview, flagged the

    government may remove civil servant housing loans currently on its balance sheet and transfer

    them to government-owned Development Financial Institutions (DFIs). Rumours are also

    beginning to circulate that some commercial banks may be asked to take on some of the loans.

    If implemented, this is the latest effort by the Malaysian government to avoid breaking of its self-

    imposed debt ceiling at 55% of GDP. The previous effort, an MYR0.2 increase in domestic fuel

    prices, was announced on the first business day after the release of Q2 fiscal data showing the

    debt stock rose to 54.6% of GDP from 53.8% in Q1 (see Malaysia: Missing the Forest for the

    Trees). Thus, it is hard to see this move as being fundamentally positive.

    While acting within its rights, the government would be flouting the spirit of its own fiscal rules.

    Moreover, the m otivations for the transfer appear political rather than economic. As such,

    comments invoking a desire to be fiscally responsible will become harder to believe. In our view,

    an act such as this makes negative action, be it a negative outlook or an outright downgrade, by

    one or more of the rating agencies more likely, not less.

    These housing loans are estimated to be worth MYR42bn (4.4% of GDP or 8% of public debt).

    If all are sold to the banks, public debt would fall to 50.2% of GDP. However, as a portion of the

    loans have been securitised, the g overnment may only be able to transfer 50%-75% of the

    stock. In t he absence of further fiscal reform to b roaden the rev enue base and reduce

    allocations to non-discretionary spending items such as fuel subsidies, this merely provides a

    one-time downshift rather than reverse the upward grind of the public debt/GDP ratio (Chart 1).

    Admittedly, a range of Malaysias other fiscal metrics would improve. The debt/revenues ratio

    would fall from 254% to 233%. Moreover, the government would be more assured that interest

    payments, currently equivalent to 9.9% of revenues, are kept below the 15% limit established

    under their existing fiscal rules. Stopping the governments mortgage lending to civil servants

    could also help arrest the escalation in off-budget borrowing of recent years and improve fiscal

    transparency over the longer-term (Chart 2).

    Quality improvers monthly review

    Small EM outperformance in Q313

    The rebound of cyclical sectors (led by Energy) and North Asian markets helped global emerging

    markets to slightly outperform in Q3. The surprise of the Fed not tapering quantitative easing helped

    current account deficit countries offset a portion of their YTD underperformance in September.

    Slightly better profitability

    The downward trend in profitability observed in Emerging Markets since 2011 seems to haveweakened over the past three months and EM ROE even improved slightly. A strong earnings season

    in China and the absence of tapering gave some relief to Emerging Markets. EM Competitiveness has

    been boosted by lower currencies, and still elevated energy and commodity prices also helped EM

    resource stocks. Nonetheless, it is too early to call a reversal of the past three-year trend, as most of

    the improvement came from higher leverage.

    Momentum of cyclical sectors is still weak

    Although the profitability picture is somewhat more balanced than three months ago, our quality

    improvers screening for October indicates that Materials, Industrials and Energy are still unconvincing

    compared to domestic growth sectors. Financials continue to top the ranking while Consumer Staples

    stocks slightly declined and are now ranked below Consumer Discretionary stocks. IT profitability

    trends continue to lag, confirming the recent relative deterioration.

    Country-wise, China has improved to top the ranking for the third month in a row. Other noticeable

    changes are concentrated on Russia (positive)and Korea andTurkey (negative).

    Mixed performances of our profitability-based portfolios, strong performance of thelong/short approach

    Performances of our portfolios based on quality improvement ranking were mixed in Q3

    The quarterly rebalanced portfolio of the top-50 large cap quality improvers (with constrainedturnover) underperformed MSCI Emerging Markets by 3.1% in Q3.

    The monthly rebalanced top-100 all-cap portfolio outperformed by 1.70% in Q3.

    The long30/short30 portfolio made of the three best and three worst ranked stocks in each sector(monthly rebalancing) outperformed by 4% in Q3 and continues to show a remarkable ability to

    generate alpha.

    INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

    Sales set to speed up

    EVENTSeptember sales improved to RMB3.48b

    Agiles September sales improved to RMB3.48b, up 6% m-m and 62% y-y,

    with a sales volume of 323k sqm or an implied ASP of RMB10,760/sqm(down 12% m-m but up 43% y-y). Ytd, total sales value is still relativelylow at RMB25.5b, implying only 61% of its target (RMB42b) has been

    achieved. This, however, already looks to us priced in.

    SUMMARYSignificant sales pick-up likely; inventory gradually clearing

    We expect a sequential improvement in sales in the coming months, withnew launches on the way and adoption of a more flexible pricing strategy.We believe October sales could reach as high as RMB4-5b, narrowing thegap in sales target shortfall. Inventory for projects in Nanjing andChengdu is also starting to show signs of clearance.

    VALUATIONDeep NAV discount of 55%; Buy with TP of HKD11.55

    With the adoption of a flexible pricing strategy and a refocus back onmid-end product development with smaller-sized units, we believe Agilessales are set to speed up. Despite the share price having risen slightlyover the past few days, it still looks inexpensive, trading at a 55% NAVdiscount and 4.8x 2013E P/E when comparable players such asGuangzhou R&F (2777 HK; BUY; CP: HKD13.36)and KWG Property (1813HK; HOLD; CP: HKD5.1) are trading at 35-42% NAV discounts and 5.7-6.3x

    2013E P/E. Key risk is a hard landing in the property sector.

    Another solid quarter

    Active customer figure up 37.8%, keeping momentum

    Biostime released its 3Q operational data, with the number of active

    Mama100 members reaching 1.85m as of 30 September, growing

    37.8% y-y. This was better than our forecast. With this nine-month

    data in hand, managements official guidance of 30% growth in

    revenue in 2013 seems conservative and we believe our FY13revenue forecast of RMB4.77b (or 41% y-y growth) is achievable.

    POS increased 25.5%, drug stores catching up

    Biostime is also keeping up its retail network expansion, with the total

    number of points-of-sales increasing to 17,358 at the end of 3Q, from

    13,832 a year ago. Notably, the number of drug stores with

    Mama100 Members Zones increased 35.5%, the fastest among all

    three channels.

    Major risk: government policy likely to be announced in October

    We expect the Chinese government to announce some pro-SOE

    policies in October that would allow large SOEs to consolidate the

    dairy market. As a result, Biostime may face more challenges and

    increased operating costs in the new environment.

    Valuation: TP of HKD70.50 and BUY rating maintained

    Our TP of HKD70.50 is unchanged, based on 25x FY14E P/E with

    47.2% and 22.2% recurring EPS growth in 2013E and 2014E. The

    main risk is that government policy changes may increase Biostimes

    operating expenses and hurt earnings accordingly.

    ESTIMATE CHANGESTester orders unexpectedly weak recently

    We lower our estimates due to weak tester orders from Taiwans OSAT.Orders: Apr-Jun JPY39.5b, Jul-Sep JPY27b, Oct-Dec JPY26b, Jan-Mar 2014

    JPY34.8b. Revised numbers: FY3/14 orders JPY127.3b (from JPY162.5b),sales JPY125.8b (JPY157b), OP JPY3.4b (JPY11.2b); FY3/15 ordersJPY140.7b (JPY173.9b), sales JPY140.7b (JPY174.9b), OP JPY7.6b (JPY18.7b).

    OUTLOOKOrders may rise after foundry production recovers; maintain HOLD

    Quarterly orders are a potential catalyst for Advantests share price. Wehad previously envisioned higher orders for low-end smartphones in Oct-Dec, but the picture is now less clear. Foundry production cuts may be afactor. We expect foundry production to recover in Oct-Dec and for ordersfrom Taiwans OSAT to climb from Jan-Mar. Hence, our HOLD rating.

    VALUATIONLower TP to JPY1,150 (FY3/14E P/BV 1.5x), from JPY1,700 (2.0x)

    Back-end testers market growth potential looks lower than that of the

    front-end, where 3D-tech could boost demand. Advantest may post a lossagain in FY3/14, reducing prospects of a rise in its P/BV to 3x. We see 2xP/BV seen in May-Jun 2013 as the upper limit and lower our target P/BVto 1.5x (1-2x mid-point), from 2.0x (1-3x mid-point), to derive our TP.

    INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

    Ready for industry reshuffle?

    CHANGETweaking estimates on growth in Jul-Sep SPE orders

    We raise our Jul-Sep SPE orders estimate to JPY37b after the recentuptick in foundry orders. We estimate JPY34b in Oct-Dec and JPY35b in

    Jan-Mar and have tweaked our earnings forecasts accordingly. We expect1H and full year FY3/14 OP to beat guidance. We estimate 1H OP at JPY4b(guidance: JPY2.5b) and full-year OP at JPY8.6b (guidance: JPY6.5b).

    CATALYSTOrders steady but CEO decision on industry realignment vital

    We expect foundries capex to remain high in 2014, but because y-ygrowth will be small, we do not expect on-going increases in quarterlyorders. We expect quarterly SPE orders to hover around JPY35b. In viewof the TEL-AMAT merger announcement, the DNS CEOs decision on howto respond to industry realignment will likely be more important.

    VALUATIONWe maintain our target price at JPY550: HOLD

    Our JPY550 target price is based on a FY3/14E P/BV of 1.5x. This is the

    midpoint of their 1-2x P/BV range since 2010. On-going frontloading offoundry orders is an upside risk to our view. The main downside risk isthat planned initiatives to improve earnings in 2H do not bear fruit.

    Emergence of catalystsOUTLOOKFY3/15 earnings drivers to emerge from 4QFY3/14

    Our positive view on JSR is intact, but the share price may trade lower inthe near term as investors factor in weak conditions for tech materials

    prior to the emergence of catalysts. JSR could lower its FY3/14 guidance.But, we believe FY3/15 earnings drivers (tyre materials, semi-materialsfor TMSCs 20nm) emerging from 4QFY3/14 will drive up JSRs share price.

    ESTIMATE CHANGESBullish medium-term view intact, though tech materials weak now

    While JSRs petrochemical business is healthy, momentum is weak for finechemicals and other business. We expect 1HFY3/14 to meet guidance butsee a chance of shortfalls in FY3/14. We had expected semiconductor andLCD to drive JSRs 2H results, but markets are sluggish. Our OP estimates:1H JPY19b, FY3/14 JPY40b vs JSRs guidance of JPY18.5b and JPY43b.

    VALUATIONThe stock has traded in the 10-16x P/E range since 2010

    We lower our estimates but keep our TP of JPY2,300, using unchanged P/E

    of 16x but on FY3/15E EPS (previously FY3/14E). We expect the shares totrade at the top end of their P/E range, driven by emerging catalyststowards FY3/15. Risks: petrochemicals slump on lower tyre demand,prolonged LCD inventory adjustment, delay in TSMCs mass production.

    Modest slowdown in 2H

    CHANGEPVC upbeat, limited wafer downside, tweaking estimates

    We continue to expect Shin-Etsu to report 1H OP of JPY97b, exceedingguidance (JPY88b). The PVC business is upbeat, and wafers have not

    significantly eroded yet. However, we expect lower h-h wafer profit in 2H,due to the SK Hynix (000660 KS) fire impact and other factors. Revised OPestimate: FY3/14 JPY192b (from JPY195b), FY3/15 JPY205b (from JPY213b).

    CATALYSTPVC and wafers are OP variable factors

    US Shintech is performing well, and has sold available output through Oct(Shin-Etsu books Shintechs Apr-Jun results in its July-Sept statement).We therefore expect stronger 1H results than at SUMCO (3436 JP), also ondifferences in customer composition. 300mm business: high memory salesratio sustains full-production, low exposure to TSMC (2330 TT).

    VALUATIONMaintaining our JPY8,000 target price and BUY rating

    We maintain our JPY8,000 target price, despite slight revisions to our

    estimates, due to shifting the base year to FY3/15 from FY3/14, with anunchanged 25x P/E multiple. Primary risks are a drop in PVC prices andwafer inventory adjustments.

    Risk of underperformanceCHANGEMaintain JPY1,100 TP, REDUCE rating

    We lift our forecasts ahead of 8 Nov results. Mgmt. is likely to cut FYguidance with 1H results, as it left FY unchanged when cutting 1H targets

    at 1Q. We maintain our REDUCE rating. Non-ferrous prices are stabilizingwith the lull in USD appreciation; we maintain our view that prices willweaken into 2014. We believe SMM remains overvalued.

    CATALYSTLikely to cut FY guidance even if 1H outperforms

    1H RP is likely to recover to JPY55b versus guidance of JPY47b as priceswere higher in Aug-Sep. We revise up our price assumption for copperfrom USD6,800/t to USD7,200/t, but maintain nickel at USD6.2/lb, gold atUSD1,300/oz, JPY100/USD and increase our FY3/14 RP estimate fromJPY90b to JPY95b, this is below the guidance target of JPY106b.

    VALUATIONJPY1,100 TP is FY3/14E 9x, BPS 0.7x

    We lower our target P/E from 10x to 9x, P/B is unchanged. Non-ferrousprices rose in September but supply-demand is unlikely to improve and

    prices are unlikely to rise from here, so we do not think expectations ofprofit expansion will increase. The shares, at a P/E of over 10x, have moredownside risk than upside potential, in our view.

    3Q13 earnings preview: Still solid

    Booking a non-recurring gain of THB1.5b in 3Q13

    We have a BUY call on SCC with a DCF-based TP of THB480. We

    estimate 3Q13 net profit rose 42% y-y to THB9.1b (BBG consensus:

    THB9.2b) driven by a THB1.5b non-recurring gain from the fair value

    adjustment of investments in Siam Sanitary Ware(not listed) andSiam Fitting (not listed).

    We maintain our full year forecasts

    We estimate 9M13 recurring net profit of THB26.3b to account for

    76% of our full year forecast of THB34.6b (BBG consensus:

    THB34.5b). We expect 4Q13 net profit to remain solid due dividend

    income from investments especially in automotive business, which

    are generally booked in the second and fourth quarters.

    Recurring profit to drop 23% q-q, but rise 18.6% y-y

    We estimate 3Q13 recurring net profit fell 23% q-q to THB7.6b due to

    seasonality and soft domestic demand in its cement and paper

    businesses caused by floods and slow exports. However, this would

    be a 18.6% y-y increase because of improved earnings contributionfrom the chemical business.

    Chemical earnings to fall 10% q-q, but rise 30% y-y

    We expect 3Q13 chemical business earnings fell 10% q-q, because

    of rising ethylene and propylene costs (due to PTTs GSP#5 accident

    and slightly declining product spreads. However, this would be a 30%

    y-y increase as spreads have improved significantly y-y.

    Results announcement: 30 October 2013

    Key points to watch Impact/Action

    Bloomberg spot HDPE and PP prices in 3Q13rose slightly q-q, but spreads fell slightly.

    Ethylene and propylene costs have risen dueto PTTs GSP#5 accident.

    We expect SCC booked little inventory gain in3Q13, but that its chemical business recurring

    earnings fell 10% q-q . However, that wouldbe a 30% y-y rise as spreads have improvedsignificantly y-y.

    We expect 3Q13 cement sales volume fell q-qdue to seasonality, while ex-factory priceswere flat or up slightly q-q to THB1,850-1,900/tonne.

    We expect cement earnings to have fallen aslight 4% q-q.

    Expecting another weak quarter

    We expect another weak quarter

    We expect BHELs 2Q results to remain weak as the execution

    issues which surfaced in 1Q due to stalled projects have continued,

    with the exception of Bajaj Hindusthans Lalithpur project where

    BHEL has resumed work. We estimate 2Q revenues to fall 12.3% y-y

    but to rise 43.5% q-q as 1Q is typically a lean quarter.

    We are below consensus on lower margins

    While we are 5% above the Bloomberg consensus on sales, our

    recurring EPS estimate of INR2.89 is 22% below consensus as we

    assume lower margins due to sluggish execution and higher

    employee expenses related to the BHPV amalgamation. We estimate

    a one-time INR1.08/share charge related to the amalgamation.

    Zero power segment orders in 2Q

    Despite continued weak orders in 2Q, the stock rebounded on

    tendering for setting up two UMPPs worth INR400b.While developers

    may be selected in 4QFY14, equipment orders wont come before

    3QFY15, as land acquisition for the projects will take time.

    We reiterate our REDUCE rating and INR95 TP

    We reiterate our REDUCE on BHEL given our concerns of stretched

    working capital, potential bad debt and potential order cancellations.

    Our DCF-based TP of INR95 is based on free cash flows for the next

    10 years discounted at a cost of equity of 15.1%. We assume a

    terminal growth rate of 3%.

    Results announcement: date TBC

    Key points to watch Impact/action

    Order in-take/order pipeline There were no major orders in 1HFY14. We would look formanagement comments on the new UMPP endering and SDB norms.

    Outstanding receivables Update on the recent legal action taken by the company against fewcustomers to recover outstanding dues.

    Liquidated damages Execution remains poor. We would look for provisions made forliquidated damages on delays in executing orders.

    BHPV Amalgamation We are interested in how confident management is about aturnaround of BHPV by FY16.

    Uneventful 2Q, but catalysts ahead

    2QFY14 results likely to be uneventful

    Seasonally the weakest period for both toll and construction

    business, 2QFY14 is unlikely to have witnessed material growth. We

    forecast 18% top line growth brought about by the addition of new

    roads, but a 3% earnings decline on additional fixed costs

    (depreciation + interest).

    Looking for details on toll rate hikes, refinancing options

    During 2QFY14, a couple of projects underwent a toll-rate hike that

    we assume was around 6-8%. We expect more details on IRBs

    refinancing and take-out financing options that IRB was looking to

    explore at the end of 1QFY14.

    Catalysts: Restructuring of premium and resumption of awards

    We see two potential positive catalysts in the next two quarters

    restructuring of premium by NHAI and resumption of award activity.

    Recently, the CCEA has also in-principle approved the proposal for

    restructuring of premium by NHAI for certain projects. A couple of

    IRBs projects could benefit from this development.

    We maintain our TP of INR152

    We make no changes to our target price; BOT contributes

    INR113/share and the construction business INR39. Company-

    specific downside risks include lower-than-expected traffic or toll

    increases, slower execution, higher-than-expected capex, continued

    negative publicity, and an adverse outcome from the CBI

    investigation. We adjust our FY14/15 estimates by +7%/-3% after

    incorporation of 1QFY14 toll collections.

    Result announcement: November 2013
