Ying Li International on track to meet pre-sales target

High-end commercial property manager is looking solid.

Here's more from Maybank Kim Eng:

Steadily Improving. Strong yoy growth. 3QFY12 results were largely in line with consensus. Net profit came in at RMB54.6m in 9M12 vs a loss of RMB33.4m in 9M11. The growth is mainly driven by the sale of IFC office units and rental income growth. Sufficient revenue contributors in pipeline, including IFC, Yingli International Plaza, Financial Street project and San Ya Wan Phase 2, give clear earnings visibility for the next three years.

RNAV estimate intact despite slightly slower revenue recognition. Ying Li’s property sales are slightly slower than we expected. But the cash flow from pre-contract sales is largely in line. We believe Ying Li are on the track to meet its pre-sales target for this year, thus the delay in revenue recognition will not significantly impact our RNAV estimate.

Recent SGD100m bank facility provides more flexibility. Ying Li secured SGD100m bank facility from SCB and OCBC in October. This largely eased the potential redemption pressure of its convertible bonds in March 2013. The new bank facility together with existing undrawn loan commitments of RMB521m is sufficient to meet the CB redemption requirements. Thus Ying Li will have more flexibility to keep its IFC offices for rental purpose instead of for sale. With more office units being booked under “investment properties” category, we are likely to see higher revaluation gain in 4Q12.

Deep discount to RNAV. We derived our target price based on 40% discount to our RNAV forecast. Big proportion of Ying Li’s property assets located in the center of Chongqing Jiefangbei CBD and its IFC office is currently still the only new international Grade A office within the Chongqing “Jiefangbei” CBD. Given the prime location and very high-end profile of Ying Li’s assets, we believe this stock deserve a higher valuation than current level.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
