Top Story : Allianz – Encouraging fundamentals Outperform


Briefing Note
- General insurance gross premiums grew by 14.1% yoy in 1H FY12/10, driven by its productive agency
force (49%) and bancassurance tie-up with CIMB (12%).
- Life insurance premiums grew by 27.6% yoy, but, Annualised New Premiums (ANP) grew by only 5.6% vs.
20.9% in 1H09. We understand that the ANP was under pressure as Allianz introduced its first universal life
product, the Income Generator.
- Maintain Outperform call with an unchanged SOP-derived fair value of RM5.32/share.

Corporate Results

CIMB : Tracking expectations Outperform


2QFY10 Results/Briefing Note
- CIMB’s 2Q results met both our and consensus expectations.
- NIM (ex-Islamic income) was flattish qoq (+1bps) but down 3bps yoy.
- Non-interest income was flat qoq (+3.7% yoy), helped by a RM144m gain on disposal of fixed assets
(mainly relates to sale and leaseback transaction).
- CIR was broadly stable at 55.3% (1Q10: 55.2%; 2Q09: 54.1%).
- Gross loans grew +5.3% qoq and +12.5% yoy underpinned by the Malaysian consumer loans (+3.4% qoq;
+15.2% yoy) and +8.9% qoq (+30.7% yoy) expansion (in RM terms) in CIMB Niaga’s loan book.
- The group’s gross impaired loan ratio improved to 7.2% from 7.5% the previous quarter but LLC fell to
78.4% from 80.5% as at end-1Q10.
- We fine-tune our earnings forecasts although the overall impact is not significant.
- Fair value of RM8.40 remains unchanged, based on target CY11 PER of 15x. Maintain Outperform

Sime Darby : Kitchen sinking done - what’s next? Market Perform (up from UP)
4QFY10 Results/Briefing Note
- FY06/10 core net profit came in above our expectations, at 115% of our forecasts. In 4QFY10, Sime
recorded more EI losses for the E&U division of RM777.3m, which included RM213m in write-offs for its
groundwater project; RM61.2m of losses for impairment in investment in the healthcare sector and
RM18.2m in unrealised forex losses, bringing total EI loss for FY10 to an estimated RM1.95bn.
Management did not break down the EI losses for the E&U division by project, as it did not want to
jeapordise its VO recovery.
- The analysts briefing focused primarily on Sime’s oil and gas division provisions and the strategy going
forward with the new CEO at the helm. The key points from the briefing include: 1) strategic direction set
forth by new CEO; 2) more clarity on the provisions made in the E&U division this quarter and what to
expect going forward; and 3) expectation for plantation divisions.
- Post-results, we have trimmed our forecasts by 2-3% p.a.. We introduce our FY13 forecast. However, we
raise our fair value to RM8.35 (from RM8.00), after updating for Sime’s latest net debt balance and after
reducing our holding company discount to 20% (from 25%). We believe the worst is over for Sime and
expect it to now trade in line with the market. Upgrade to Market Perform (from underperform).

Genting Malaysia : Keeping it up Market Perform


4QFY10 Results/Briefing Note
- 1HFY10 core net profit was in line with our expectations. Total revenue grew 8% yoy mainly on the back of
stronger contributions from leisure and hospitality (+8.2% yoy) driven by stronger volumes and better luck
factor in the premium player business. Core net profit rose by a stronger 11.4% yoy in 1HFY10 due mainly
to higher EBIT margins of 1%-pt yoy in the leisure and hospitality division, on better luck factor in the
premium player segment, which contributed more than 35% to business (up from low-30+% in 1H09).
- Key briefing takeaways: 1) visitor arrivals are up 5% yoy in 1HFY10; 2) comments on impact of increased
competition in region; and 3) comments on new investments in UK and New York.
- Forecasts unchanged. After adjusting for the latest market value for Genting HK and updating for GM’s
end-2QFY10 net cash balance, our SOP-based fair value is raised slightly to RM3.25 (from RM3.20). Note
that our net cash balance has been adjusted for GM’s investment cost for Genting UK (RM2.1bn) and
Aqueduct New York (RM2.3bn). Maintain Market Perform.
