AirAsia has proposed to establish the Sukuk Mudharabah Programme as part of the group’s funding plans to raise up to RM1bn. Proposed utilisation of proceeds include; i) RM550m to part finance its capex; ii) RM300m to refinance its banking facility; iii) the balance will be used for working capital. The programme will be perpetual in tenure, where AirAsia has a call option to redeem the Sukuk at the first call date, which is at the end of the fifth, seventh or 10th year.

Comment: AirAsia’s main capex includes aircraft delivery and the building of its headquarter office at the KLIA2 site. The airline is scheduled to take delivery of 13 aircraft in 2015 and 18 aircraft in 2016 and 2017 respectively. As at end-June 14, its net gearing stood at 1.9x. We have imputed capex of between RM1.7bn to RM2.4bn for 2014E and 2015E respectively. Maintain BUY with an unchanged target price of RM2.80 (12x 2015E PER).
