Setting up of a new rubber glove manufacturingproject. It wasannounced on Friday that Hartalega NGC SB, a wholly- owned subsidiary ofHartalega, will be setting up a nitrile glove manufacturing project (knownas the Next Generation integrated GloveManufacturing Complex - HNGC project). The project is expected to begin in 2013and targets to complete by year 2021 at an estimated cost of RM1.5b. It will consist of 70 new hightech productionlines (vs. 45 lines currently) and has been accorded the Entry Point Project(EPP) status under the ETP.
Triple its current production capacity by year2022. We understand that the project will bedivided into two 4-year phases. Phase 1 (from 2013-2017) will see the buildingof 40 production lines with a total annual capacity of 14.0b and in Phase 2(from 2017-2021), there will be another 30 production lines with a total annual capacity of 10.5b pieces of gloves p.a. Hence, by 2022, Hartalega will triple its current capacity of 9.7b piecesto a total annual capacity of 38.0b pieces. It will house 70 production lineswith the ability to produce 40,000 pieces per hour (vs. the average productionrate of 22,000 pieces of gloves per hour), which will boost Hartalega'sproduction by 60%.
Funding. As at31 Dec 2011, Hartalega has a net cash of RM165m and assuming a total capex ofRM1.5b spread evenly over 8 years, we expect a capex of RM750m for Phase 1. Thisshall be funded via bank borrowings, and warrants conversion with a maximumproceeds of c. RM308.5m, supposing full exercise of 74m warrants at theexercise price of RM4.15 per warrant. This will turn its current net cashposition to 0.2x net gearing.
No earnings revision at the moment. We are maintaining our earnings forFY12 and FY13 as it will take some time before Phase 1 starts to operate in2017. Valuation. We maintain a 12x PERvaluation on our FY13 EPS, which derives our current target price of RM8.32 (ex-TP: RM3.12 on fully diluted basis)for Hartalega. Due to the limited upside of only 5% for the share price fromits current level, we continue to maintain just a Market Perform rating on the stock.
