    Initiate on Shui On Land with CreditBuy on SHUION PerpC17 and Hold on rest We like Shui On Land’s (SHUION, NR/NR/NR) mostly high-quality assets, proven track record of going through various property cycles and steady recurring income. Management has shown more determination in disposing commercial assets and targets to lower its net debt/total equity ratio to 50% by end-2017.

    Gradually de-leveraging high-quality asset holder We recognize that Shui On’s credit metrics are on the weak side, but we like the fact that it is gradually de-leveraging and gross margins would improve in 2016-2017 from last year’s levels.

    The Basics: background and landbank

    Company background and management

    Shui On Land is a developer with a focus on development and operation of large-scale mixed-used complex in city-core as well as high- to mid-high end residential projects in five cities in China. The company was founded in 2004 as the flagship of the Shui On Group, a Hong Kong-based private group founded in 1971 which is primarily engaged in real estate development and construction. Shui On Land got listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in October, 2006. Its market cap reached HKD16.1bn (or USD2.1bn) as of 5 May, 2016. Mr. Lo Hong Sui, Vincent (aged 67) is the Chairman of Shui On Land, and CEO of the company from 2004 to March 2011. He resumed a more active role in the company management following the resignation of Mr Lee Chun Kong, the ex-CEO in January 2014. As at the end of February, 2016, Mr. Lo Hong Sui, Vincent is the largest shareholder with 57.1% stake in the company. Mr Douglas Sung became the CFO of Shui On Land since early January, 2016 and is a member of the Executive Committee. He has a deep understanding of the real estate sector as well as finance, with over 20 years of experience in Asia real estate, having worked in sell-side research as well as direct investment and fund management. Mr Frankie Wong is an Executive Director of the company and an adviser to the Chairman of Shui On Group. He is an experienced person who joined the Shui On Group in 1981 and worked at its sister company SOCAM Development (983 HK, non-rated) as well. We note that Chairman Lo’s daughter, Stephanie Lo, is Director – Product Development for China Xintiandi Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Shui On Land. She has a background in architecture and interior design.

    Good landbank quality As of end-2015, Shui On’s total landbank was 9.4mn sq m (leasable and saleable landbank, excluding 2.4mn sq m of clubhouse, carparks and other facilities), of which 7.7mn sq m was attributable. Its landbank is relatively balanced in exposure to residential, office, and retail/hotel/serviced apartments by GFA (see Fig. 1). At end-2015, 29% of Shui On’s attributable landbank was in Shanghai by GFA, with the next highest geographical exposure at 22% in Chongqing. Its other geographical exposure consisted of 18% in Dalian, 17% in Foshan, and 14% in Wuhan. Subsequently, it had engaged in a transaction to sell some Foshan assets to Country Garden for over RMB1.7bn (at roughly RMB8k/sq m). On May 3, Shui On announced it sold two offices in Wuhan (A1 and A3) to CITIC China for an aggregate initial purchase price of RMB4.499bn. We still expect Shui On to sell some Foshan Lingnan Tiandi retail assets, and potentially some of Shanghai assets such as some office GFA from KIC later this year. These coupled with the announced disposals of Foshan assets to Country Garden and Wuhan transaction to CITIC China should enable Shui On to attain its target commercial sales of RMB10bn in 2016 smoothly, in our view. Looking into 2017, there are still commercial assets (such as office and retail from Chongqing and Wuhan and KIC office in Shanghai) available for disposal.

    Among the cities where Shui On operates, Dalian is the only one which still has abnormally high residential inventory levels at around 20 months at end-March, according to CREIS data (estimated by available for sale properties/average monthly sales of the latest 3 months). While we are concerned about Dalian’s weak supply-demand dynamics, we feel comfortable about the other four cities where Shui On’s projects are located. Furthermore, we estimate Dalian Tiandi to constitute only around 6% of Shui On’s total residential saleable resources amount in 2016.

    Contract sales and operating cashflow outlook for 2016

    2016 contract sales: progress thus far is good Shui On’s 2016 contract sales target of RMB24bn (of which residential/commercial split is expected to be RMB14bn/10bn) looks manageable to us. We estimate over 70% of its FY2016 residential saleable resources would come from Shanghai, including from The Gallery (Lot 2) of Rui Hong Xin Cheng (“RHXC”). Already, it achieved RMB3.6bn of sales from the Upper (Lot 9) at RHXC earlier this year (Feb ASP was RMB80k/sq m whereas in Oct, 2015, the ASP was about RMB71k/sq m). Potentially, Lot 2 has 103,700sq m of available for sale GFA for launch from 2Q16 to 2017, with potential saleable resources of RMB9.3-10.4bn to if we assume an ASP of RMB90-100k/sq m. By end-March, Shui On already achieved RMB5.8bn of residential contract sales (locking in 41% of the residential full year contract sales target of RMB14bn) and additionally, there was RMB1.6bn of unsubscribed property sales. Historically, Shui On’s asset turnover had been slow but showed good improvement in 2015 and it is on the right track so far this year as well.

    Shanghai tightening might affect sales pace of projects there; having said that, Shui On’s projects are mostly well-located and hence we are not overly worried about it. We also note that most of Shui On’s landbank is vintage -- that was acquired many years ago; hence, its overall GPM should continue to be above the China property sector average. The company guides GPM of over 30% over the next few years, which we agree that it should be able to achieve. That would translate to a higher YoY GPM in 2016 booking vs. 2015’s 26.1%. This would also be helped by a higher portion of revenue booking from Shanghai that we expect in 2016 vs. 2015.

    Expect mild rental income growth: We expect Shui On to be able to achieve a single digit YoY growth in rental income in 2016 vs. 2015’s RMB1.54bn, despite disposal of 1, 2, and 3 Corporate Avenues. This is mainly because there will be new GFA to be completed this year and also we see further ramp-up of the HUB in Shanghai.

    Leveraging on ample liquidity: We believe one of the reasons contributing to Shui On’s success in disposing some en-bloc commercial property has been the ample liquidity environment in HK and China. There is also a variety of third parties purchasing commercial assets from Shui On -- including Link REIT, Country Garden, and CITIC China.

    Expect a positive net operating cashflow for 2016: We expect a positive net operating cashflow this year. Figure 11 captures the company guided major operating cashflow items. Shui On expects its 2016 new start GFA to be down slightly YoY from 2015’s ~0.5mn sq m. However, the geographical mix of the new starts would change. While management indicates possibilities of acquiring new projects in Shanghai and Wuhan, we do not think the size of each project would be as big as the typical projects before, after learning from its experience.

    Debt breakdown and refinancing potential

    On-shore financing: Shui On Land has not yet tapped the on-shore bond market (be it regular corporate bonds or Panda bonds), but we believe it would be able to issue Panda bonds on-shore using its off-shore list co., likely to be in 2H16/early 2017. There is no filing on the Shanghai Exchange yet, so we can infer that Shui On has not applied for on-shore Panda bonds yet. When we visited the Bond division of the Shanghai Stock Exchange in January, the Exchange indicated that there is no specific list of requirements for issuers of Panda bonds as this market is still in a trial status. Hence, compared to some other bond markets, the Panda bond approval process and timing seem more opaque to us. However, to reference some other China developers that we currently cover, we estimate the rough size that Shui On might be able to issue on-shore. We reckon that YTD, developers have only tapped the private on-shore Panda bond market, though a few peers like Shimao and Country Garden indicated they would like to be able to tap the public on-shore Panda bond market when that becomes available. Let us take Agile as an example. Agile had previously already applied for RMB15bn quota of on-shore Panda bonds before its FY2015 results announcement and we note that Agile’s (list co.) net assets of as June-2015 was RMB41.58bn (and some industry contacts indicated that one should subtract the net assets of the on-shore entities that have issued corporate bonds, which in Agile’s case are not big); and taking 40% of that would translate to RMB16.6bn if we ignore the on-shore entities. That gets us close to the figure of RMB15bn of on-shore Panda bonds quota for which Agile had applied. Although there is no written explicit cap on private Panda bond issuance size, if we make an assumption and take 40% of Shui On Land’s net assets at the list co. level (RMB46.1bn) at end-2015, that would translate to RMB18.4bn. As a first-time on-shore bond issuer (Shui On has not issued the normal domestic corporate bonds), we take a 20-25% haircut on size, that would translate to a potential tapping of RMB13.8-14.8bn of on-shore Panda bonds for Shui On, per our estimate. Again, we note there are no official written rules on the limit of size of issuance for Panda bonds. There is only a maximum of 40% of net assets for issuance of domestic public corporate bonds.

    Aims to lower foreign currency debt exposure and costs of borrowing Shui On’s exposure to foreign currency debt should also drop to around 40% or lower at end-2016 from end-2015’s 46% out of total debt, due to the release of RMB4-5bn of foreign currency debt related to Corporate Avenue in Shanghai. Furthermore, management targets to lower total debt as well as expects its average costs of borrowing to drop by about 1ppt in 2016 from 2015’s 6.2%.

    The company does have high refinancing needs in 2017 in the off-shore bond market, with RMB notes of RMB2.5bn due in Feb 2017 and USD500mn senior notes due in Nov 2017. Its USD500m perps will be callable in Dec 2017, and a total of USD752.5mn of senior notes will be callable in 1H17. We expect the company to fund the majority of these refinancing needs with on-shore Panda bonds as well as internally generated cash, such as disposals of commercial assets. From a credit perspective, while it is credit positive to recuperate cash and realize the asset value monetization, we also feel that it has been selling some of its high-quality commercial properties in prime locations of Shanghai, which would be difficult to replace in the future. But the company does need to increase its asset churn and de-leverage, so that should be the priority, as it is.

    Results recap for 2015 Shui On Land delivered a mixed set results for 2015. Its revenue was down 37% to RMB6.5bn mainly due to sharp decline of 48% in booked property sales ASP with less contribution from Shanghai. As a result, gross margin dropped notably by 7.5ppt to 26.1% in 2015 from 33.6% in 2014. On the other hand, core earnings grew robustly by 438% YoY to RMB2.4bn thanks to divestment of 1 & 2 Corporate Avenue in Shanghai. Accounting for a disposal gain of investment properties of RMB3.2bn, our calculated EBITDA was up 63% YoY to RMB3.9bn in 2015.

    Credit metrics Shui On Land recorded some improvements in its credit metrics in 2015 thanks to the company’s efforts to accelerate asset turnover and deleverage. Adjusted EBITDA/interest coverage improved to 1.1x at YE15 from 0.7x at YE14 and 0.3x at end-Jun 15, while total debt/EBITDA dropped to 12.5x in 2015 from 20.3x in 2014. It has reduced exposure to (convertible) perpetual capital securities. As a result, adjusted net gearing ratio (assuming hybrids as 50% debt and 50% equity) improved to 90.8% at YE15 from 92.5% at YE14 and 102.8% as of June, 2015. While we recognize it is still relatively high vs some peers, we believe the company has moved in the right direction and lowered its average cost of borrowing. We see more management determination in improving the company’s capital structure. Its liquidity position was weak at end-2015 with total cash of RMB10.6bn covering 83% of short-term debt. Management indicated at its results briefing that they will target to bring down the net debt/total equity ratio to around 50% by end-2017 and reduce exposure to foreign currency debt in 2016.

    Valuations

    Peer comparison and bond valuations Shui On Land is not rated by the off-shore credit rating agencies. We think it should have similar issue rating as compared to Yuzhou (issue rating: B1/B/ BB-) and GZ R&F (issue rating: B1/B/BB) in terms of credit quality. Both of the peers have better 2015 gross margins, stronger interest coverage and lower gross leverage than Shui On but Shui On has a higher percentage of recurring income/total revenue, better landbank quality than the two and lower net gearing than GZ R&F. In terms of geographical exposure and mix of commercial/residential assets and the ability to fetch premium in pricing of

However, due to the SOE background of Jinmao, bondholders would view it quite differently from Shui On, in our view. We also view Cifi and Yanlord as close peers in terms of landbank distribution which have high exposure to Shanghai and big tier-2 cities. Having said that, Cifi and Yanlord possess more diversified geographical distribution and stronger credit metrics than Shui On.

    We initiate with CreditBuy on SHUION PerpC17 and CreditHold on the USD bonds SHUION'17, SHUION'18, SHUION'19C17, SHUION'20C17 and SHUION'17 CNH bonds. SHUION'20C17 trades flat to GZRFPR'20C17 in YTM while SHUION'19C17 trades ~20bp wider than YUZHOU'19C17 for a longer tenor of 0.4 year, which is fair, in our view. Besides, we slightly prefer SHUION'20C17 (mid price: 108.125, YTM: 7.38%, YTW: 6.16%; Z-sprd: 539bp) and SHUION'19C17 (mid price: 108.125, YTM: 6.67%, YTW: 6.14%; Z-sprd: 537bp) to SHUION'18 (mid price: 105.875, YTM: 5.59%, Z-sprd: 471bp) for a steep YTM curve. Key upside risks include: faster or cheaper refinancing via on-shore markets, disciplined landbanking in Shanghai and/or Wuhan, faster or better-priced disposals leading to more-than-expected de-leveraging. Downside risks include slower-than-expected sales from Shanghai due to more severe tightening, inability to raise Panda bonds, and severe RMB depreciation.

    Perps valuations We view BJCAPT PerpC18 (ask Price: 106.9, YTC: 4.58%, G-sprd: 384bp), BJCAPT PerpC19 (ask Price: 105.9, YTC: 5.3%, G-sprd: 429bp), and GRNCH PerpC19 (ask Price: 108.9, YTC: 5.45%, G-sprd: 458bp) as close peers to SHUION PerpC17 (ask Price: 106.5, YTC: 5.79%, G-sprd: 513bp), all of which have strong step-up at next call date, though we acknowledge BJCAPT is SOE-backed and GRNCH’s largest shareholder is SOE CCCG, which are reflected in the two notches uplift in issuer ratings by Moody’s. However, Beijing Capital Land and Greentown showed higher Debt/EBITDA in its 2015 results. We think the SHUION PerpC17 looks attractive for a short duration of 1.6 years.

    In Fig. 17, we compare the valuations of various China corporate perpetuals. We select USD senior notes issued by the same issuer or if not available, senior notes of peers with the same issue rating to compare valuation of perps to senior notes ratio. The maturity of the selected senior notes is close to the next callable date of the perps we analyze. We then compare the perps’ G-spread to next call date (or to step-up date) to the tenor-adjusted G-spread of senior notes peer to get the perps to senior ratio. In terms of valuation versus senior notes peer, SHUION'PerpC17 and GRNCH 9% Perp also look slightly more attractive compared to Beijing Capital Land’s. SHUION PerpC17’s ask G-spread to next call/ step-up date is 513bp, about 1.1x of adjusted G-spread of SHUION'17. At current levels, we believe that its 10.125% PerpC17 offers good carry.

    Deutsche Bank debt rating key Bond rating dispersion and banking relationships

    CreditBuy (“C-B”): The total return of the Reference Credit Instrument (bond or CDS) is expected to outperform the credit spread of bonds / CDS of other issuers operating in similar sectors or rating categories over the next six months.

    CreditHold (“C-H”): The credit spread of the Reference Credit Instrument (bond or CDS) is expected to perform in line with the credit spread of bonds / CDS of other issuers operating in similar sectors or rating categories over the next six months.

    CreditSell (“C-S”): The credit spread of the Reference Credit Instrument (bond or CDS) is expected to underperform the credit spread of bonds / CDS of other issuers operating in similar sectors or rating categories over the next six months.

    CreditNoRec (“C-NR”): We have not assigned a recommendation to this issuer. Any references to valuation are based on an issuer’s credit rating.

    Reference Credit Instrument (“RCI”): The Reference Credit Instrument for each issuer is selected by the analyst as the most appropriate valuation benchmark (whether bonds or Credit Default Swaps) and is detailed in this report. Recommendations on other credit instruments of an issuer may differ from the recommendation on the Reference Credit Instrument based on an assessment of value relative to the Reference Credit Instrument which might take into account other factors such as differing covenant language, coupon steps, liquidity and maturity. The Reference Credit Instrument is subject to change, at the discretion of the analyst.

    DB Credit Opinion Definition : The DB Credit Opinion follows the same scale as S & P's credit ratings ranging from AAA for the Highest credit quality to C for the Weakest credit quality. It reflects our opinion on the creditworthiness of a company. We derive our Credit Opinion from fundamental credit analysis of the company, comparable analysis, benchmarking against rating agencies and qualitative judgement.

    (d) Additional Information

    The information and opinions in this report were prepared by Deutsche Bank AG or one of its affiliates (collectively

    "Deutsche Bank"). Though the information herein is believed to be reliable and has been obtained from public sources

    believed to be reliable, Deutsche Bank makes no representation as to its accuracy or completeness.

    If you use the services of Deutsche Bank in connection with a purchase or sale of a security that is discussed in this

    report, or is included or discussed in another communication (oral or written) from a Deutsche Bank analyst, Deutsche

    Bank may act as principal for its own account or as agent for another person.

    Deutsche Bank may consider this report in deciding to trade as principal. It may also engage in transactions, for its own

    account or with customers, in a manner inconsistent with the views taken in this research report. Others within

    Deutsche Bank, including strategists, sales staff and other analysts, may take views that are inconsistent with those

    taken in this research report. Deutsche Bank issues a variety of research products, including fundamental analysis,

    equity-linked analysis, quantitative analysis and trade ideas. Recommendations contained in one type of communication

    may differ from recommendations contained in others, whether as a result of differing time horizons, methodologies or

    otherwise. Deutsche Bank and/or its affiliates may also be holding debt securities of the issuers it writes on.

    Analysts are paid in part based on the profitability of Deutsche Bank AG and its affiliates, which includes investment

    banking revenues.

    Opinions, estimates and projections constitute the current judgment of the author as of the date of this report. They do

    not necessarily reflect the opinions of Deutsche Bank and are subject to change without notice. Deutsche Bank has no

    obligation to update, modify or amend this report or to otherwise notify a recipient thereof if any opinion, forecast or

    estimate contained herein changes or subsequently becomes inaccurate. This report is provided for informational

    purposes only. It is not an offer or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any financial instruments or to participate in any

    particular trading strategy. Target prices are inherently imprecise and a product of the analyst’s judgment. The financial

    instruments discussed in this report may not be suitable for all investors and investors must make their own informed

    investment decisions. Prices and availability of financial instruments are subject to change without notice and

    investment transactions can lead to losses as a result of price fluctuations and other factors. If a financial instrument is

    denominated in a currency other than an investor's currency, a change in exchange rates may adversely affect the

    investment. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Unless otherwise indicated, prices are

    current as of the end of the previous trading session, and are sourced from local exchanges via Reuters, Bloomberg and

    other vendors. Data is sourced from Deutsche Bank, subject companies, and in some cases, other parties.

    Macroeconomic fluctuations often account for most of the risks associated with exposures to instruments that promise

    to pay fixed or variable interest rates. For an investor who is long fixed rate instruments (thus receiving these cash

    flows), increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thus cause a

    loss. The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be the

    loss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX depreciation rates are among the most common adverse

    macroeconomic shocks to receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation, regulation

    (including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors), changes in tax policies, currency

    convertibility (which may constrain currency conversion, repatriation of profits and/or the liquidation of positions), and

    settlement issues related to local clearing houses are also important risk factors to be considered. The sensitivity of fixed

    income instruments to macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to

    FX depreciation, or to specified interest rates – these are common in emerging markets. It is important to note that the

    index fixings may -- by construction -- lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended

    to track. The choice of the proper fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating coupon

    rates (i.e., coupons indexed to a typically short-dated interest rate reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons. It is

    also important to acknowledge that funding in a currency that differs from the currency in which coupons are

    denominated carries FX risk. Naturally, options on swaps (swaptions) also bear the risks typical to options in addition to

    the risks related to rates movements.

    Derivative transactions involve numerous risks including, among others, market, counterparty default and illiquidity risk.

    The appropriateness or otherwise of these products for use by investors is dependent on the investors' own

    circumstances including their tax position, their regulatory environment and the nature of their other assets and

    liabilities, and as such, investors should take expert legal and financial advice before entering into any transaction similar

    to or inspired by the contents of this publication. The risk of loss in futures trading and options, foreign or domestic, can

    be substantial. As a result of the high degree of leverage obtainable in futures and options trading, losses may be

    incurred that are greater than the amount of funds initially deposited. Trading in options involves risk and is not suitable

    for all investors. Prior to buying or selling an option investors must review the "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized

    Options”, at http://www.optionsclearing.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp. If you are unable to access the

    website please contact your Deutsche Bank representative for a copy of this important document.

    Participants in foreign exchange transactions may incur risks arising from several factors, including the following: ( i)

    exchange rates can be volatile and are subject to large fluctuations; ( ii) the value of currencies may be affected by

    numerous market factors, including world and national economic, political and regulatory events, events in equity and

    debt markets and changes in interest rates; and (iii) currencies may be subject to devaluation or government imposed

    exchange controls which could affect the value of the currency. Investors in securities such as ADRs, whose values are

    affected by the currency of an underlying security, effectively assume currency risk.

    Unless governing law provides otherwise, all transactions should be executed through the Deutsche Bank entity in the

    investor's home jurisdiction.
