FY2013 FFB yoy production growth is 28% and the average price of CPO price for FY2013 is $2251. Every $100 increased in CPO price there will be 4-5% increase in net profit margin. I m quite positive that TSH will produce an encourage results for FY2014. Besides the MYR rate against INR & USD is rather stable for the last few months. Keep the figures cross.
TSH is a stock that you buy and forget about it.. that's it until it reaches RM4.00.. PBT annual 20% growth.. young trees & wakubu seeds yielding above average. Don't miss the boat here...
• Earnings supported by FFB production growth, higher CPO prices and improved operational efficiencies
• FFB output grew 21% y-o-y to c.157k MT
• Maintain BUY with RM4.70 DCF-based TP
Highlights
Within expectations. Excluding net forex gain RM17.8m, TSH’s 1Q14 core net profit grew 57% y-o-y to RM34.3m. This represents 22% of our full-year estimate and it is within our expectations as Group’s 1Q profit is seasonally the lowest in the year.
Stronger output. 1Q14’s better profit is largely supported by higher FFB production which grew 21% y-o-y to 156,742 MT. This is mainly attributed to more young plantation areas coming into maturity and achieve peak yield age. Also, average CPO price strengthened by 18% y-o-y to RM2,543/MT (vs. RM2,159/MT in 1Q13). 1Q14’s EBIT margin significantly improved to 19% (from 9.2% in 1Q13), mainly supported by lower unit production cost and improved operational efficiencies.
Wood product and reforestation segment recorded slower 1Q14 revenue and EBIT of RM9.9m and RM0.5m respectively. (-24% and -29% y-o-y) due to lower export and delay in commencement of project in the domestic market.
Our View
Favourable growth on track. In spite of potential adverse weather effect this year (subject to development of El Nino later of the year), we maintain our favourable long-term outlook on TSH. This is due to its relatively large plantable landbank of about 77k ha and better FFB output growth supported by more young plantations coming into maturity age (about 1.5k-5.2k ha planted between 2009 and 2011 start to mature). We maintain our 3-year EPS CAGR of 16% (FY14-17) backed by average annual FFB output growth of 16%.
Recommendation
Maintain BUY. We maintain our BUY recommendation with RM4.70 TP based on DCF-valuation. Our FY14 y-o-y core profit growth of 20% is backed by 20% y-o-y FFB production growth and favourable CPO price forecast of RM2,790/MT.
RHB Research upgrades TSH to Buy from Neutral Friday May 23, 2014
KUALA LUMPUR: RHB Research has upgraded TSH Resources to a Buy rating from Neutral with a raised fair value of RM3.91 from RM3.19.
In a note on Friday, the research house said TSH 1Q results were above its expectation, making up 24% of RHB’s pre-revision forecast.
“TSH has good age profile driving long-term double-digit production growth. The strong earnings delivery also means that balance sheet de-gearing will take place at a faster rate,” it said.
It noted that TSH’s 1QFY14 core earnings came in at RM35.5mil, making up 24% of our full-year forecast and 23% of consensus.
“Earnings growth was impressive at 72% on-year, driven by a 21% growth in production and an 18% rise in realised crude palm oil (CPO) price. Wood product segment maintained its breakeven position,” it said.
With the increase in production assumption, RHB FY14 earnings forecast for TSH is raised by 4% to RM153mil, while FY15 forecast is raised by 5%.
“We value the plantation business at an unchanged 16 times P/E. With a 14% upside, we upgrade TSH to a Buy,” it said.
RHB said TSH started planting the high-yielding Wakuba material in 2013 whereby 1,000 ha was planted.
These trees will hit maturity in 2H2016. The Wakuba material promises FFB yield of 35 tonnes/ha at its peak.
“We have not factored this into our forecast,” it said.
TSH price of RM4.00 is technically supported by its underlying fundamental growth in its FFB production output & yield, growth in planted area maturity, cost efficiency & anticipated price increase due to el-nino effect. With it's rather young profile plantation and it's wakubu variant seeds which produces higher yielding fruit bunches, they have been recording consistent y-o-y growth of profits of approx 20% p.a. Taking the average growth in eps of FYE 2014 & 2015, we'd likely see it's eps at approx RM0.26 and apply an industry average or TSH's historical PE range at a modest 18X, i have TSH TP @ RM4.68. Long term outlook is good...
Im not saying that the price will not drop... and it likely will due to window dressing probably by foreign buying. what im saying is that TSH has an intrinsic value based on its fundamental growth in production & profits, giving it a price range from RM4.00 to RM4.68.

With El Nino dry spell coming, FFB production lower & price up
