DBS Group, 14 May 2015 Riding on a buoyant upgrader market Contracted sales came in faster than expected with YTD sales target hit rate better than peers at 25% Target to lock in Rmb10bn sales by end-May, as the recent loosening has unleashed upgrader demand in Tier 1/2 cities. Management has raised ASPs in recent launches in Shanghai and Nanjing with strong demand Upgrade to BUY with new TP at S$1.49 Strong sales pick-up since Mar is likely to continue in May/June. Yanlord has achieved over Rmb1bn sales in Mar/Apr and locked in Rmb4.4bn in 4M15 (+54% y-o-y and represents 25% of sales target). Sales momentum remained strong in May with c.Rmb900m sales locked in during 1W15. There is another Rmb3.7bn subscribed sales outstanding (as in first week of May) to be contracted in coming months. Better chance to hit full year target after recent launches in Shanghai. It may be able to hit Rmb10bn subscription sales by end-May, accounting for 55% of its full year sales target. Its sales progress is better than our expectation, benefiting from the policy loosening since end Mar. The company also plans to raise ASP in recent launches in Shanghai and Nanjing due to strong response to prelaunch marketing which might help margins recovery. 1Q15 results declined y-o-y with 2%/8% earnings and revenue lockin due to back-end loaded delivery schedule. Core earnings dropped by 94% y-o-y to Rmb19m, locking in 2.1% of our full-year estimates (vs. 16% lock-in in 1Q14). GP margin was 42.3%, higher than our full-year estimate due to the planned delivery of high-margin projects in this quarter. No dividend was declared for 1Q, as usual. Net gearing remained largely flat from end-14 at 46%. Yanlord had Rmb12.5bn unrecognised sales outstanding as at end-Mar. As 70% of full-year delivery is planned in 4Q, we expect poor quarterly results to come in 2Q and 3Q. Upgrade to BUY on better sales outlook. Yanlord is trading at S$1.165, 42% discount to NAV, 11.8x FY15 PE and 0.6x PB. It underperformed China property peers by 27% YTD. Due to improving outlook for the sector and better-than-expected sales, we believe the company’s share price may be able to catch up. Upgrade to BUY, with new TP of S$1.49 based on 15x FY15PE, benchmarked to its 2012 peak PE.

We hosted Yanlord Group to an investors’ presentation yesterday. Yanlord focused on mid to high-end property development in China. Starting from its base in Shanghai in the 1990s, the group branched out and built a market presence in 10 high-growth cities in China.
Yanlord commands premium pricing for its residential developments in cities it is present in due to its established brand and reputation for high-quality developments. Following a soft 2014 due to policy measures, Yanlord is starting 2015 on a strong note. The group achieved RMB2.8bn in contract sales for 1Q15, which was up 40% yoy, due to strong take-ups for its launches in Shanghai, Tianjin, Nanjing, Suzhou and Zhuhai. This was followed by another RMB1.5bn in contract sales for April. Yanlord has set a sales target of RMB18bn for 2015, up 40% on last year, and current sales trajectory puts it to track to achieve this number. This is aided by the government’s relaxation of measures on the residential market, reducing downpayment requirements for 1st time buyers from 30% to 20%, and second-time buyers from 60% to 40%. 1Q15 should represent a trough in earnings, following which a series of new launches during the summer months to October and delivery of existing pipeline should enable the group to post a steady growth in sales over the next 2-3 years. The group has typically achieved strong sell-through for its projects in cities like Nanjing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Suzhou, and is able to raise selling prices in subsequent phases of launches to achieve higher gross margins. Yanlord maintains a strong balance sheet with net gearing at 45%, one of the lowest among peers. The stock currently trades at 0.6x P/BV, and any pullbacks towards the SGD1.10 level would represent an attractive entry level. Source: RHB

Yanlord: Strong project pipeline, better asset churn up to Buy Source of opportunity We upgrade Yanlord to Buy from Neutral. We believe its asset turnover will improve on concentrated launches of its Shanghai projects in 2015. We estimate its four Shanghai projects (three in Pudong and one in Qingpu) will contribute 40% of our 2015 contract sales estimate of RMb16bn, about 12% below management guidance. Among the four tier-1 cities, we expect property prices in Shanghai/Shenzhen are more likely to see strong increases on the back of relatively tighter supply and the wealth effect from strong stock markets in Shanghai/Shenzhen. We raise our 12-m NAV based price target to S$1.60 (from S$1.14) by narrowing TP NAV disc. to 30% from previous 50%, implying 0.9X 2015E P/B (excl. revaluation gains). This is largely in line with the average during the period between the last industry recovery to the early expansion phases (2012-1H2013), with end-2015E gearing of 44% similar to the average of 39% during 2012-2013. Our TP implies 29% potential upside from the last closing price. Catalyst 1. Yanlord has strong brand attractiveness in its home market Shanghai and Nanjing. Its projects in both locations consistently attract the most affluent buyers given its better product quality, customer focused design and best-in-class property management over past two decades. In addition to a high sales contribution from Shanghai, the Nanjing market should also contribute another 15% of our estimated contract sales in 2015. 2. We expect profitability to finally bottom out in 2015 and we subsequently see better asset turnover amid an overall market recovery, especially in its home markets, where we might see an earlier price recovery. 3. With only two acquisitions during the past three years, we expect its acquisition pace to finally pick up, likely through partnerships with other developers in its core market such as Nanjing, Shanghai and Tianjin. Valuation We keep 2015E-2017E underlying EPS unchanged but raise our 12-m NAV-based TP by 41% to S$1.60 from S$1.14 (change in methodology from purely NAV discount based to 50% NAV discount and 50% PB vs. ROE, leading to a narrower NAV discount), which implies a 0.9X 2015E P/B vs. the 1.4X implied offshore sector average. Yanlord is trading at 45% discount to its end-2015E NAV and at a 2015E P/E & P/B of 14.5X/0.7X) vs. the peer averages of 29%/9.8X/1.3X. Key risks Unexpected delay of key project launches aggressive land bank expansion that leads to a weaker balance sheet macro hard landing.

Big run up for this one , another delisting candidate ?
“risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.”
I don’t look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.
Aberdeen G bought the shares in year 2012 , but they only declared after 3 years .
Thought they should declare within 48 hours ? Any friends here can help to enlighten, thanks. http://infopub.sgx.com/Apps?A=COW_CorpAn...abfca54f49

On 12 August 2015, Yanlord Land (YLLGSP rated Ba3/B+) announced a strong set of
1H15 results. Driven by the delivery of Nanjing Yanlord Yangtze Riverbay Town (Phase 3), which generated gross margin of 50% and accounts for 57% of the group&rsquo s recognised property sales its profitability as reflected by gross and EBITDA margin stood at one of the highest among peers- at 37% and 25% respectively, in 1H15. Contracted sales of the group were up by more than 150% y-o-y to RMB11bn in 1H15, representing 61% of its full year contracted sales target of RMB18bn. This, together with lack of new land purchases, led to meaningful balance sheet de-leveraging. To be specific, the group&rsquo s net debt was down 13% from end 2014 level to RMB11.5bn with net gearing down to 39% as of end June 2015 from 45% as of end 2014. Cash on hand reached all time high level of RMB8bn, which comfortably covers short-term debt of RMB4.5bn, inclusive of RMB2bn YLLGSP&rsquo 16 (due in May 2016). Debt-to-capitalisation was held steady at 40%. Looking into 2H15e, Yanlord Land has various new launches in Shanghai and Nanjing, and should continue to capitalise on the strong sales momentum in these cities. On 8 August 2015, the group launched the latest batch of apartment units for sale at Nanjing Yangtze Riverbay Town (Phase 4), and fetched RMB2.3bn subscription sales (on gross floor area 58,600 sq m or average selling price RMB40,000 per sq m) on the launch project day. These shall bring the group&rsquo s subscription sales pending conversion to RMB4.7bn, in addition to RMB13bn contracted sales from January to July 2015. With new batches of units to be launched from Shanghai Yanlord Sunland Garden, Eastern Garden and Western Garden Nanjing Yanlord Yangtze Riverbay Town as well as debut launch of Shanghai Yanlord on the Park and Nanjing Eco Hi-Tech Island project, we expect Yanlord Land&rsquo s contracted sales for 2015 to reach RMB28-30bn, substantially above its RMB18bn contracted sales target for the year. In such context, we expect the group to actively look for land replenishment opportunities in 2H15e. In our base case, we assume the group to earmark RMB10bn for land activities, which is substantially above the RMB4-5bn guidance. That said, the group should still be free cash flow breakeven in 2015e (see Table 3). With the delivery of Phase 1 for Shenzhen Yanlord Yosemite and Tianjin Yanlord projects, which generated lower gross margin, we expect the group&rsquo s gross margin normalising to 30% towards 2015e.

Price at 13 Aug 2015 (SGD) 1.00 Price target - 12mth (SGD) 0.80 52-week range (SGD) 1.30 - 0.91 Straits Times Index 3,061 Jason Ching, CFA Research Analyst (+852) 2203 6205 jason.ching@db.com Tony Tsang Research Analyst (+852) 2203 6256 tony.tsang@db.com Price/price relative 0.9 1.05 1.2 1.35 1.5 8/13 2/14 8/14 2/15 Yanlord Land Straits Times Index (Rebased) Performance (%) 1m 3m 12m Absolute -3.8 -16.0 -16.3 Straits Times Index -7.5 -11.3 -7.3 Source: Deutsche Bank In our view, a key highlight in 1H15 was the 155% YoY increase in contracted sales achieved, boosted by the strong recovery in upgrading demand following the various policy relaxations. However, while gross margin saw a marked recovery in 1H15, it was merely driven by bookings of a few high-margin projects, and it could be difficult to sustain given land prices are rising at a faster pace than ASP. Hence, we believe earnings growth is still being capped by its slow acquisition pace in recent years. Moreover, in our opinion, current valuation is not attractive, with shares trading at 14x/13x 2015E/16E PER versus the industry average of 9x/8x. Maintain Sell. Core profit in 1H15 -74% YoY to Rmb37mn; dragged by lower JV projects Yanlord reported 1H15 revenue of Rmb3,350mn (+2% YoY), driven mostly by higher delivery ASP at Rmb25,461/sqm (+9.6% YoY) on bookings of highmargin projects including Yanlord Yangtze Riverbay Town in Nangjin. GFA delivery actually declined by 8% YoY to 116,061 sqm. Meanwhile, gross margin saw a marked recovery of 6.2 percentage points to 37.3%. However, core net profit was down a sharp 74% YoY to just Rmb37mn, dragged by a 66% YoY decline in contribution from JV and a 76% YoY increase in minority interests. No interim dividend was declared in 2015 (nil in 2014). Financial position remains solid; net gearing declined to 39% as of mid-2015 As of mid-2015, total gross debt stood at Rmb19,514mn (down slightly from Rmb19,806mn at end-2014) and cash on hand was Rmb8,030mn (+21% from Rmb6,620mn at end-2014). The stronger financial position was boosted by robust contracted sales in 1H15, with approximately Rmb9bn in cash proceeds received. Net gearing improved to 39% as of mid-2015 from 45% at end-2014, being one of the lowest among privately owned peers. Meanwhile, average funding costs stood at 6.5% for onshore loans and 4.9% for offshore loans. Target price at a 50% discount to our NAV estimate of S$1.6/share Our target price is based on a 50% discount to our NAV estimate of S$1.6/share, implying a 2015E/16E PER of 12x/11x. This discount is higher than most comparable peers’, such as KWG, with similar scale and strategies, which we believe is appropriate; it reflects Yanlord’s soft outlook in terms of earnings growth. Key upside risks: acceleration in asset turnover and strong market recovery leading to surging ASP. Nomura: Maintain Reduce with TP raised to SGD0.91 Poor interim results, but improving fundamentals; valuation remains expensive Strong sales continue in 2H; likely to beat full-year sales target with abundant saleable resources Global Markets Research Rating Remains Reduce Target price Increased from 0.89 SGD 0.91 Closing price 13 August 2015 SGD 1.00 Potential downside -9% Anchor themes We expect big developers to maintain ~15% y-y property sales growth in 2015F, vs. 5-10% for the broader sector. We expect valuation expansion due to supportive policy/credit relaxation, and improving balance sheets with slower growth targets. Nomura vs consensus Our FY15F/16F core EPS estimates are higher than consensus. Research analysts China Property Stephen Cheung, CFA - NIHK stephen.cheung@nomura.com +852 2252 1559 Jeffrey Gao, CFA - NIHK jeffrey.gao@nomura.com +852 2252 1569 Elly Chen - NIHK elly.chen@nomura.com +852 2252 2181 Yanlord achieved CNY12.9bn contracted sales in 7M15 (+168% y-y, implies 72% completion of its CNY18bn full-year sales target). Adding the CNY2.3bn subscription sales from Nanjing Yangtze Riverbay Town – Phase 4 (???????) launched in early August, we believe Yanlord is likely to beat its sales target, considering there are at least CNY20bn of saleable resources for 2H, mostly from Shanghai and Nanjing projects. More land acquisitions in 2H needed to sustain current strong growth Yanlord did not acquire any projects in 7M15 although management has budgeted a total of CNY4-5bn for land acquisitions in the existing cities to fuel the company’s growth. Considering Yanlord has only acquired two plots in Nanjing and Suzhou in FY13-14, we believe its current land bank can only support low-teen sales growth in FY16-17F. Disappointing 1H15 results but gearing and gross margin improved Yanlord reported disappointing 1H15 results, with revenue up 2% y-y to CNY3.4bn and core profit down 41% y-y to CNY120mn, mainly due to less profit sharing of JV projects and larger share of minority interests. Gross margin improved to 37.3% from 29.2%/31.1% in FY14/1H14 (mainly due to the delivery of the high-margin project in Nanjing, which accounts for 56.9% of 1H15 property sales revenue). Net gearing on attributable equity also reduced to 60% from 69% in end-FY14, with completed inventory declining 8.6%. Maintain Reduce, but raise TP to SGD0.91; valuation remains expensive We cut our FY15-17F earnings by 0-7%, but raise TP to SGD0.91 (based on a 50% discount to end-FY15F NAV of SGD1.82), after factoring in the 1H15 results, increase in ASP growth assumption to 10% from 5% for T1 cities, and lower WACC for loosened credit. However, we maintain Reduce rating on Yanlord in view of its vague growth outlook and relatively expensive valuation compared to other small caps (5.7x FY16F P/E vs. peers at 4.2x). GS: Yanlord Land (YNLG.SI) Buy Equity Research Above expectations on sell-through rate; raise 2015E contract sales 25% What surprised us Yanlord’s 2Q15 underlying profit (excluding revaluation gain) of Rmb171mn is substantially improved from net loss of Rmb79mn in 1Q15 and Rmb15mn in 2Q14. Highlights: 1) The strong yoy profit growth is partly due to Rmb59mn FX gain recorded during 2Q15 vs. only Rmb5mn in 2Q14; 2) GPM of 35% is also better than 25% in 2Q14, thanks to higher contribution from Shanghai projects. But on qoq basis, ASP booked during the period is 7% lower (except Suzhou Lakeview Bay A2 parcel that is 8% higher), which led to 8pp drop in GPM from the 1Q level; 3) For contracted sales, not only ASP in general is 10% higher for Shanghai projects but also the run-rate up to July is already 72% of its full-year target of Rmb18bn vs. our coverage avg. of 50%, on the back of 70%-80% sell-through rate in 1H; 4) Net gearing lowered to 39% by end-2Q15 from 46% in 1Q15 and mgmt. expects the ratio will be contained within 50% before the year-end, with no more than Rmb5bn new land acquisition before the year-end. What to do with the stock We reiterate our Buy rating on the company as we believe strong Shanghai and Nanjing property markets will benefit the company as the two markets contribute almost 60% of its sales this year. We revise up our 2015E contract sales estimate by 25% to Rmb20bn and correspondingly raise our 2015E-2017E underlying EPS by 2%-5% and our end-2015E NAV/ 12-m NAV-based target price by 6% each to S$2.5/S$1.7 (still at 30% NAV discount). Key risks: Unexpected strong sales performance/policy easing in high-end market. Macquarie: Yanlord The best is yet to come Event YANL surprised investors earlier this year with an ambitious sales target of Rmb18bn, representing 40% YoY growth, versus peers at only 7%. This led to our upgrade from Underperform to Outperform (The forgotten developer 17 April 2015). It surprised us again with 1H15 sales of Rmb11bn, representing 156% YoY growth and 61% achievement rate of its full-year target, one of the highest among peers. We expect the company to surprise the street once more time later this year to exceed it sales target significantly, due to strong sales in almost all of its cities: Shanghai, Nanjing, Tianjin and Shenzhen. We reiterate our Outperform rating on the stock. We now expect contracted sales of Rmb23bn for 2015, versus our previous target of Rmb17bn. We also revise our 2016 and 2017 sales to Rmb23bn and Rmb23bn from Rmb22bn and Rmb24bn, respectively. On August 8, despite stock market volatilities, a new phase of Nanjing Yangtze Riverbay Town achieved Rmb2.4bn sales on the first day of launch at a high price of Rmb35k psm. This shows that market sentiment remains very strong and YANL continue command both volume and premium for its quality products. Impact The company has abundant and enviable saleable resources in Shanghai and Nanjing to support sales next two years, but a lack of material acquisition last two years and an improving balance sheet should allow YANL to the land market. Management has purchased overly expensive land in the past and is not too stringent in cost control. On the other hand, its quality products continue to command premium pricing, but only in T1 or top T2 cities. Thus, further stock catalysts should be land bank replenishment at reasonable cost in Shanghai, Nanjing, Tianjin and Shenzhen. At the current exchange rate, the two offshore senior notes incurred Rmb384m interest expenses per year. Assuming net margin of 8% and contracted sales of Rmb23bn, every 5% swing in exchange rate can result in 1% impact on net cash earnings. NAV impact should be mainly translational. Earnings and target price revision We revise up the selling price of several projects based on their latest launch price and speed up their sales. Gross margin increases by about one percentage point for next three years. As a result, 2015F earnings increase by 11% and 2016F earnings increase by 16%. This led to NAV increase by 8% to S$1.57 and TP increase by 1% to S$1.22. Price catalyst 12-month price target: S$1.22 based on a DCF methodology. Catalyst: strong sales in 2H Action and recommendation We continue to favour T1/2 cities, which will be most sensitive to credit easing and continued improvement in market sentiment. The best project to launch will be Shanghai Yanlord on the Park in Pudong, which will likely surprise the market in terms of both sales and selling price. |
