Stick to the fundamentals ■ We organised a conference call with management and institutional clients to address three negative allegations made by an investor blog over the past week. ■ The civil suit at HW (Hevea’s largest shareholder) the non-payment of dividends. ■ Management dismissed the allegation of 700 containers of particleboard stuck in Korea. ■ The intercompany loan from HW will be repaid by mid-2016. ■ We maintain our Add rating and SOP-based TP, with 4Q15 results as a catalyst. Conference call to address negative newsflow Over the past week, the investor blog i3investor.com carried three negative allegations against Heveaboard (Hevea) that resulted in a share price decline of 15%. We organised a conference call between Managing Director, Yoong Hau Chun and institutional clients this morning to address these concerns. Non-payment of dividends A civil suit was instituted by HeveaWood Industries (HW) (Hevea’s largest shareholder with 27% stake) minority shareholders against the Yoong family for the non-payment of dividends at HW. Hau Chun explained that HW was not in a position to pay dividends from 2009-12 as Hevea’s financials were stretched following the collapse in the particleboard industry. The high court have decided in favour of the defendant. The Korean debacle Another allegation was made that 700 containers of particleboard was held up for Korean Customs in Oct 15 due to non-conformance of quality standards. Management dismissed this as untrue. Korea had changed its orders from E2 boards to E1 boards. As Korean E1 testing standards differed slightly, Hevea delayed shipment to Korea pending clarification of its new testing standards. This issue has since been resolved. Discrepancy in intercompany loan The third allegation made was that Hevea “beautified” its accounts to hide an €890,000 inter-company loan made by HW to Hevea in 2005. The blog quoted discrepancies between amounts owed by related parties to HW vs. the amount owing by Hevea to related parties. Management explained that HW had made other inter-company loans to other related parties in addition to Hevea and hence, the amounts would differ. All of Hevea’s debts will be repaid by mid-2016, according to management. Stick to the fundamentals We felt that management addressed the issues very well and sensed that institutional investors were comfortable with the explanations. We urge investors not to be distracted by these ongoing non-fundamental and frivolous allegations. In our view, any share price correction is an excellent opportunity to bottom fish as our earnings forecasts are conservative (RM/USD of 4.0 vs. current spot rate of 4.4). A 1% depreciation of the ringgit increases Hevea’s EPS by 7.5%. Maintain Add. ▎
