Key takeaways from a results conference call include: 1) 9MFY21 results boosted by swift construction progress, 2) expects 27-35% YoY decline in FY21 property sales, 3) landed residential homes achieved strong take-up, 4) looking forward to a better FY22. We continue to like Glomac's strategy, which focuses on affordable landed residential segment, solid unbilled sales of RM611mn to anchor near-term earnings, as well as its healthy balance sheet to provide ample liquidity for on-going and future development activities. We raise FY21-FY23 earnings by 34-67% after incorporating the latest update and management guidance. Maintain Buy with a higher TP of RM0.51, based on 0.35x FY22 P/Bk.

9MFY21 results boosted by swift construction progress

Despite disruptions caused by Covid-19, Glomac's 9MFY21 results beat expectations with YTD revenue and core net profit rising 34% and 40% YoY to RM250.9mn and RM23.5mn. Specifically, we saw the group's 3QFY21 core net profit grow by 28% QoQ to RM11.7mn as construction activities continued to pick-up pace. Besides swift construction progress, we gather that the stellar results were also lifted by margin expansion arising from better economies of scale, on-going cost rationalisation exercise, and lower finance costs.

Expects 27-35% YoY decline in FY21 property sales

The reintroduction of movement restrictions since Oct-20 has caused some delays in the timing of Glomac's planned new launches. The group only managed to launch RM260mn worth of new launches in FY21, from RM403mn targeted previously - see Figure 1. It was about 31% less compared with RM378mn worth of products launched last year. As such, management expects FY21 property sales to come in the range of RM250mn-280mn, representing a 27-35% YoY decline in property sales.

Landed residential properties achieved strong take up

While FY21 property sales were lower-than-expected, we gather that all the new launches were well-received, achieving commendable take-up rate of 90% - see Figure 2. Apart from product specific appeals such as reasonable pricing and strategic location, management believes the strong sales were partly driven

by innovative digital marketing campaigns, partnership with Maybank Islamic HouzKEY home financing solution, and favourable government incentives such as the home ownership campaigns.

Looking forward to a better FY22

Underpinned by: 1) maiden launch of GreenTec Puchong (mixed development, total GDV: RM1.6bn), 2) resilient demand for landed properties for its existing townships, 3) solid unbilled sales of RM611mn (or 3x of FY20 property revenue) to anchor earnings, and 4) narrower loss for Glo Damansara Mall (Glo Mall). Management believes Glomac is on a stronger footing to deliver better financial performance in FY22. Various revenue and cost optimisation implemented for Glo Mall have shown encouraging results. In terms of strategy to boost occupancy, management reveals the group has appointed a leading marketing team to actively look for potential tenants to operate in Glo Mall. As the retail sector is set to rebound along with the successful rollout of Covid-19 vaccination in the country, management sees promising improvement in Glo Mall's occupancy in coming quarters.

Forecast

Considering the latest update and management guidance, we now project Glomac to report FY21/FY22/FY23 net profit of RM33mn/RM40mn/RM55mn, from RM20mn/RM29mn/RM37mn previously.

Key revisions to our model include: 1) change in progress billings and margin assumptions as we previously expected the group's performance to be negatively impacted by the reintroduction of movement restrictions and, 2) change in FY21/FY22/FY23 new property sales assumption to RM260mn/ RM490mn/ RM510mn from RM370mn/ RM400mn/ RM450mn previously.

Valuation

Rolling forward our base-year valuation to FY22, we arrive at higher target price of RM0.51 (previously RM0.43), based on higher P/Bk multiple of 0.35x (previously 0.3x), slightly above the group's 5-year mean of 0.33x. Given the group is set to enter a new growth cycle, we believe our attached valuation is not excessive. Note that the group's 10-year average P/Bk multiple is 0.51x.

We like Glomac's strategy, which focuses on affordable landed residential segment, solid unbilled sales of RM611mn to anchor near-term earnings, as well as its healthy balance sheet (0.3x net gearing with RM199mn cash and bank balances) to provide liquidity for on-going and future development activities. Maintain Buy.

Key downside risks to our recommendation include: 1) surge in Covid-19 infections that lead to fresh lockdowns, 2) slower-than-expected economy recovery, and 3) Glo Damansara Mall remains under-occupied for an extended period.
