GT Capital Holdings, Inc:Riding the favorable macroeconomic tide

Favorable macroeconomic tailwinds to drive growth. Our favorable outlook on GTCAP largely stems from the attractive growth prospects of the Philippine economy. We believe that with its interests in banking, real estate, power generation, automotive, and insurance, GTCAP is in a prime position to benefit from strong economic growth. For example, Metrobank should benefit from higher lending growth as businesses and individuals lever up during periods of faster economic growth. Meanwhile, higher levels of employment, resilient OFW remittances, the countrys favorable demographics and the growing availability of affordable financing should drive demand for residential properties while the sustained strength of BPO sector and the favorable outlook for investments should lead to stronger demand for office space, benefiting Fed Land. Healthy economic growth would increase the demand for power from GBP, particularly in the Visayas region. Higher purchasing power of consumers coupled with the availability of more affordable payment terms should also lead to higher car sales for TMP. Finally, increasing affluence and falling interest rates should lead to more demand for life insurance products from AXA.

GTCAP earnings to expand led by strong growth from TMP; increased stake to magnify growth. We are forecasting GTCAP net income to reach Php11.7Bil by 2015 from Php6.6 Bil in 2012, translating to a 3-year CAGR of 21%. The growth comes from the intrinsic expansion of each sector, magnified by the larger direct ownership on its subsidiaries. All of its member companies are expected to expand during the period, with TMP contributing the biggest growth. Aside from the increase in GTCAPs ownership from 21% to 51%, TMPs net income is forecasted to grow at an annual rate of 28% over the next three years. This is largely driven by a 14.5% CAGR in revenues brought about by the expected motorization in the country and an improvement in margins stemming from the favorable movements in FX rates (stronger Peso and a weaker Yen).

Valuations offer limited upside, initiating coverage with a HOLD and a target of Php875/sh. We are initiating coverage on GTCAP with a HOLD rating and an FV estimate of Php875/share. While we have a favorable view on GTCAPs growth outlook, we believe that current valuations are not very attractive. Based from our FV estimate, the upside from the current market price is limited at 8.0%. Nevertheless, pullbacks to below Php760/sh should be viewed as opportunities to BUY.

Forecast Summary (US$Mil)

WEDNESDAY, 19 JUNE 2013

We are initiating coverage on GTCAP with a HOLD recommendation and an FV estimate of Php875.00/sh based on the sum of the parts (SOTP) valuation method. We like GTCAP given its attractive portfolio consisting of companies belonging to industries that benefit from rapid economic growth such as banking, real estate development, power generation, automotive and insurance. Growth will also be enhanced by the consolidation of interests in the said businesses. Nevertheless, we believe that current valuations offer a limited upside, with GTCAP only trading at a 8.0% discount to our FV estimate of Php875.00/sh. At its current price of Php810.00/sh, its 2013E P/E multiple of 15.4X is also largely in line with the industry median of 15.5X.

Favorable macroeconomic tailwinds to drive growth

Our favorable outlook on GTCAP largely stems from the attractive growth prospects of the Philippine economy. We believe that with its interests in banking, real estate, power generation, automotive, and insurance, GTCAP is in a prime position to benefit from strong economic growth. For example, Metrobank should benefit from higher lending growth as businesses and individuals lever up during periods of faster economic growth.

Higher purchasing power of consumers coupled with the availability of more affordable payment terms should also lead to higher car sales for TMP. Finally, increasing affluence and falling interest rates should lead to more demand for life insurance products from AXA.

GTCAPs subsidiaries are well positioned to capitalize on the growth opportunities that are currently available given that they are among the top players in their respective industries. Also, each of the member companies is expected to benefit from synergies between the other members, providing them with a competitive advantage over the other players.

GTCAP earnings to expand led by strong growth from TMP; increased stake to magnify growth

We are forecasting GTCAP net income to reach Php11.7Bil by 2015 from Php6.6 Bil in 2012, translating to a 3-year CAGR of 21%. The growth comes from the intrinsic expansion of each sector, magnified by the larger direct ownership on its subsidiaries. Recall that GTCAP used bulk of the proceeds from its Php14.2Bil (primary proceeds only) initial public offering in April 2012 and its Php10.1Bil private placement in January 2013 to acquire more shares in Fed Land, GBP, and TMP. Since its IPO, GTCAP has already increased its ownership in Fed Land from 80% to 100%; in GBP from 34.4% to 51%; and in TMP from 21% to 51%.

All of its member companies are expected to grow during the period, with TMP contributing the biggest growth. Aside from the increase in GTCAPs ownership, TMPs net income is forecasted to grow at an annual rate of 28% over the next three years. This is largely driven by a 14.5% CAGR in revenues brought about by the expected motorization in the country and an improvement in margins stemming from the favorable movements in FX rates (stronger Peso and a weaker Yen).

For 2013, earnings growth would largely come from MBT and TMP, accounting for 52% and 23% of GTCAPs total income. According to GTCAP, its goal is to have its three smaller subsidiaries (Fed Land, GBP, and TMP) accounting for 15 to 20% of earnings and for MBT to account for 50%

Valuations offer limited upside, initiating coverage with a HOLD and a target of Php875/sh

We are initiating coverage on GTCAP with a HOLD rating and an FV estimate of Php875/share. While we have a favorable view on GTCAPs growth outlook, we believe that current valuations are not very attractive. Based on the sum-of-the-parts valuation model, our NAV estimate for GTCAP is Php919/sh. Applying a 10% discount to MBT (which is listed separately in the PSE), we arrived at a fair value estimate of GTCAP at Php875/sh. This translates to a 2013E P/E of 16.7X, slightly above the median P/E of the other major conglomerates in the country.

A more detailed discussion on GTCAPs subsidiaries and their earnings growth prospects are provided below.

Metrobank A major player in the banking industry

Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company (MBT) is the countrys second largest bank in terms of assets, capturing 13% of the banking industrys total resources as of end 2012. The bank provides a full range of banking products and services including borrowing and lending, trade finance, remittances, treasury, investment banking, and thrift banking. Since being established in 1962, MBT has focused on providing banking services to the middle market Filipino-Chinese businesses. Nevertheless, it has steadily diversified into the other sectors of the economy, with consumer loans now accounting for a significant part of its portfolio. Currently, its loan portfolio is made up of 60% corporate loans, 13% SME loans, and 27% consumer loans.

As of end 1Q13, the bank had Php1,020Bil in total resources, Php523Bil in loans, and Php690Bil in deposits. It currently has the largest branch network with 831 branches nationwide.

Leading market position allows the bank to benefit from improving economic outlook

We believe that the Philippine banking Industry is currently experiencing a cyclical uptrend. During the past 7 years, bank lending growth has averaged 12.7%, supported by improving macroeconomic fundamentals and rising investor confidence. This came after a period of corporate deleveraging from 1998 to 2005 (post Asian financial crisis), where loan growth averaged just 1.1%. Going forward, we believe demand for loans will remain strong given the positive economic outlook, stable political environment, improved investor confidence, and low interest rates. The countrys recently awarded investment grade rating (from Fitch and S&P) and the growing momentum of the PPP projects should also boost loan demand.

MBT is expected to be one of the major beneficiaries of growing demand for loans given its position as the second largest bank in the country. Relative to the other smaller players in the industry, MBTs size improves its ability to generate low cost deposits, to distribute products and services, and to achieve higher cost efficiencies through economies of scale. Aside from the advantage brought about by its size, Metrobank has a strong balance sheet, with an NPL ratio of only 1.8% and NPL cover of 124%. Its Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio is also high at 14.8% as of end 1Q13, much higher than the BSPs minimum requirement of 10% under Basel III. Finally, it has a very liquid balance sheet with a loans-to-deposit ratio of 76%.

Exhibit 7: MBT Financial Position

Earnings to grow despite pressures on margins, expected decline in trading gains

Despite the expected growth in demand for loans, the banking industry faces some challenges such as falling interest rates and a possible drop in trading gains. Nevertheless, we remain confident that despite these challenges, MBT will still be able to grow its earnings. Firstly, we believe that margins should no longer shrink despite the continuous drop in interest rates as banks steadily shift their focus to higher yielding SME and consumer loans. Funding costs should also fall with the drop in interest rates (SDA rates in particular) as this would allow banks to reduce their time deposit rates.

Moreover, we expect the decline in trading gains to be subdued. Note that since reporting strong trading gains in 2010, MBT, together with the other players in the industry, have continued to book better-than-expected trading gains every year. In fact, in its latest quarterly report, MBT registered Php11.3Bil in trading income in 1Q13, more than doubling its previous record high of Php5.2Bil in 1Q12. The steady increase in MBTs fee-based income should also help offset future declines in trading revenues.

Over the next three years, we are forecasting MBTs earnings to grow by a CAGR of 12.7%.

Exhibit 8: MBT Earnings Forecasts (in PhpBil)

Source: MBT, COL estimates

Valuations

Given the expected improvement in profitability and the banks attractive growth prospects, we believe that MBT should be valued at 2.6X 2013E P/BV. This translates to an FV estimate of Php149.00/sh or Php314.6Bil for the entire firm.

Given its 25.1% stake in MBT, the bank accounts for Php79.0Bil or Php453.20/sh of GTCAPs NAV. This is equivalent to 45.7% of the Companys value.

Federal Land Proactive stance to unlock potential

Established in 2002, Federal Land is a real estate company which primarily develops middle to high-end residential and commercial projects. Despite its relatively short history, the company capitalizes on the Ty familys experience in the real estate industry, which spans over 40 years and includes over 50 projects. Presently, Fed Land has 35 ongoing residential developments with a total of 11,000 units. Most of Fed Lands projects are part of master-planned communities consisting of residential condominium towers, supporting amenities, and complementing commercial and retail establishments.

As of end 2012, Fed Land had Php34.2Bil in total assets and a land bank of 107.5 hectares. During 2012, around 56% of revenues came from real estate sales while around 17% came from sales of goods and services which consist of oil, petroleum, and ancillary goods and services at the Blue Wave Malls.

Favorable view on the long term prospects of the property sector

We have a favorable outlook on the property sector. Higher levels of employment resulting from faster economic growth, resilient OFW remittances, the countrys favorable demographics and the growing availability of affordable financing should drive demand for residential properties, while the sustained strength of BPO sector and the favorable outlook for investment spending should lead to stronger demand for office space.

Despite the recent increase in residential condominium developments, we believe that there is currently no glut in the market. Indeed, notwithstanding the 149,000 condominium units estimated to be in the pipeline from 2013 to 2018, this can be easily absorbed given the continuous growth in the housing backlog. Specifically, the latest Philippine Development Plan estimates the housing backlog to increase from 3.6Mil currently (0.54Mil in mid-end units) to 5.8Mil (0.87Mil in mid-end units) by 2016. The current low interest rate environment and the increasing transportation costs (both time and monetary) further support the strong demand for residential condominiums.

Aggressive approach to unlock value of huge land bank

Federal Land is well positioned to capitalize on the strong demand for housing given its huge land bank and its more aggressive stance recently. At present, Fed Land has 107.5 hectares of land bank which are enough to support 10 years worth of sales. In addition, the Ty family owns another 146.8 hectares of properties either adjacent to Fed Lands existing land bank or near other well accepted projects. According to the company, around 100 hectares of the Ty familys properties are located beside the Laguna Technopark, while 36 hectares are located in Macapagal Ave. The Ty family also owns 10.8 hectares of properties in Fort Bonifacio beside Fed Lands Veritown project. These properties can be bought by Fed Land in the future to ensure the sustainability of its project launches.

In 2012, Federal Land took on a more aggressive stance and launched a total of 13 projects. This led to the significant increase in the number of ongoing projects to 32 as of end 2012 from 19 in 2011, while reservation sales grew by 90% to Php14.9Bil. In 1Q13, Fed Land added another 3 projects, bringing the total of ongoing projects to 35. For the year, Federal Land plans to spend Php9.3Bil in capital expenditures, more than double its Php4.3Bil capex in 2012. Around Php6.5Bil will be allocated to the completion of its residential projects, allowing Fed Land to unlock the value of its huge unbooked revenues of around Php15Bil, fueling earnings growth.

Plans to expand leasing business

Federal Land is also taking steps to boost its rental portfolio. It recently bought GT Towers from the Ty family, while its Bluebay Walk project in Pasay City which has a total leasable area of 13,000 sqm is scheduled for completion in June of 2013. Fed Land also plans to put up offices and a retail podium in its Veritown project in the Fort. In the medium term, Fed Lands goal is for rental properties to account for 15% to 20% of revenues, up from only 5.4% in 2012.

Earnings to grow on higher real estate sales

We are forecasting Fed Lands earnings to post a 3 year CAGR of 52% (net of the Php1.4Bil one-time gain in 2012). The strong growth is largely driven by a 61% increase in real estate sales as the company unlocks the value of its huge unbooked revenues.

Exhibit 11: Fed Land Earnings Forecasts (in PhpBil)

Source: Fed Land, COL estimates

Valuations

Based on our NAV calculations, Fed Lands value largely comes from its huge land bank (78%) and its current portfolio of residential projects (34%). Since Fed Lands value largely comes from its land bank which is non-income generating, we applied a 30% discount to our NAV estimate to arrive at Fed Lands fair value.



Exhibit 12: Fed Land NAV Estimate (PhpBil)

Source: Fed Land, COL estimates

Given GTCAPs 100% stake in Fed Land, the property firm accounts for Php22.2Bil or Php128/sh of the holding companys NAV. This is equivalent to 12.9% of the Companys value.

Global Business Power Plant expansion to drive growth

Global Business Power (GBP) is the holding company of the Ty familys power generation businesses. Currently, it is a leading power producer in the Visayas and Mindoro area, operating nine power generation facilities with a gross dependable capacity of 627 MW (480 MW attributable to GBP, net of minority interests). In 2011, GBP opened two of its largest plants a 246 MW CEDC plant in Cebu, and a 164 MW PEDC plant in Panay. These new plants account for a combined 57% of GBPs total effective capacity. The two plants have the distinction of being the first commercial clean coal power plants in the country, utilizing circulating fluidized bed boiler technology that produces lower levels of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide and captures most solid emissions.

Demand for power expected to grow

With the countrys favorable economic outlook, electricity consumption is expected to grow going forward. According to the Department of Energys (DOE) power development plant 2012 to 2030, peak demand for electricity for Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao is expected to growth at a rate of 4.1%, 4.5%, and 4.8% annually through 2030. This translates to a total required capacity of 16,477 MW, 3,431 MW, and 3,250 MW in the three regions by 2030 (vs. current dependable capacity of 8,380 MW, 1,730 MW, and 1,650 MW for the three regions respectively). Based on the same estimates, the demand for electricity is expected to surpass the existing capacity by 2016 in Luzon and Visayas. Moreover, Mindanao is already experiencing rotating brownouts, particularly in the dry months given its heavy reliance on hydroelectric power plants.

Expansion of plants to meet growing power demand

To capitalize on the projected growth in demand for power in the Visayas region, GBP is looking to expand its existing capacity. Currently, its wholly owned subsidiary TPC is constructing an 82MW clean coal-fired power plant in Toledo City, Cebu. The expansion project will use the same clean coal technology that is being used in CEDCs 246 MW plant and PEDCs 164 MW plant. TPC has already secured a Php7Bil loan facility last March to fund the Php10.175Bil total project cost that is not covered by its Php3.175Bil in equity. The new plant is scheduled for completion by end Dec 2014 and is expected to be fully operational by 1Q15.

Another project that GBP is eyeing is the expansion of its power facility in Iloilo by another 150 MW. Last October 2012, the company, through its subsidiary PEDC, signed a memorandum of understanding with Formosa Heavy Industries to study and finalize the construction of a single 150 MW expansion plant in Iloilo (previous agreement called for the construction of two 82 MW units). The project has an estimated cost of Php13Bil, which will be funded by 30% equity and 70% debt. The expansion plant is expected to be fully operational by 1Q16.

GBP has also entered into an agreement with Meralco PowerGen Corp, the power generation subsidiary of Meralco, to jointly evaluate power generation projects in electricity-starved Mindanao. The partnership is currently looking at 4 coal-fired power plants in the area. Recently, GBP reported that the two groups are firming up plans for a 300 MW coal plant in Mindanao worth as much as Php30Bil. GBP indicated that the final decision will be made in the second half of the year. Assuming that these projects push through, it would provide a significant boost to GBPs operations within the next 5 years. These are not yet factored in our forecasts for GBP.

Expansion plans to boost income

We are forecasting GBPs net income to reach Php3.7Bil by 2016 (CAGR of 14.1%) when the new plants of both TPC and PEDC become operational.

Toyota Motor Philippines Beneficiary of rising income levels

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is engaged in the manufacture, importation, and wholesale distribution of Toyota brand vehicles in the country as well as the sale of motor vehicle parts and accessories, both locally and through export. TMP is a joint venture between GT Capital, Toyota Motor Corp, Mitsui, and Maximus Management Holdings which own 51%, 34%, 6%, and 9% of the company respectively. TMP has entered into distributor agreements with Toyota Motor Corp and Toyota Motor Asia Pacific for the right to sell Toyota and Lexus brand products in the Philippines.

Since 1989, TMP was number one in terms of total sales in the country for 22 out of the 24 years. In 2012, it cornered 35.8% of total vehicle sales in the country.

Motorization expected to boost car sales

The Philippine automotive industry is believed to be in the early stages of motorization. Compared to our neighboring countries, the countrys vehicle sales is quite low. For 2012, total annual sales reached just over 182,000 units, falling well below the 800,000, 745,000, and 606,000 units sold in Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia respectively. Passenger car densities are also way lower, averaging just 12.1 cars per 1,000 people. In addition, total car sales for 2012 were just slightly higher than the 162,000 units sold in 1996. This translates to a weak 12% growth over a period of 16 years; or a CAGR of 0.7%. This is largely due to the drop in car sales following the Asian crisis. Indeed, from 1996 to 2006, car sales fell by 38% or a 5% decline per year.

Nevertheless, growth of the automotive industry is already picking up. From 2006 to 2012, car sales have increased by a CAGR of 10% (2012 growth at 10.6%). Furthermore, the recent growth is expected to accelerate further as the countrys GDP per capita nears US$3,000, a critical point believed to spark motorization. This expected motorization is based on the experiences of other emerging markets, where demand for vehicles rose sharply as GDP per capita went over US$3,000. As of 2012, GDP per capita for the Philippines reached Php110,351, or roughly US$2,691 (at Php41.00/US$). Assuming that the Philippines sustains a real GDP growth of 5-6% (plus an inflation rate of 3% and a population growth rate of 2%), GDP per capital should already breach the US$3,000 mark by 2014.

Indeed, based on the estimates of Business Monitor International, passenger car density in the country would rise 24% from 12.1 per 1,000 population in 2012 to 15.0 by 2016. Note that car sales were very strong during 1Q13, growing by 29% year-on-year.

TMP expected to be the biggest beneficiary given its market leadership position

With the strong growth prospects of the auto industry, we believe that TMP is in excellent position to capitalize on the macro trend. TMP leverages on its well-recognized brand image as one that offers high quality products at competitive prices. Other competitive advantages include efficient operations (high volume of sales for Vios and Innova allows for local production of these units), extensive dealer network for retail sales and service, and synergies with the other members of GT Capital (most notably Metrobank). Note that despite being the market leader in the country, TMPs sales continue to outpace industry growth, implying that it continues to grab market share from other players.

Benefiting from a stronger Peso and a weaker Yen

Another boost to TMPs earnings is the favorable movement of foreign exchange rates. In particular, since a significant part of TMPs imported components and raw materials are priced in either US dollar or Japanese Yen, the strengthening of the Philippine Peso and the weakening of the Japanese Yen allows TMP to reduce the costs of its products. This ultimately leads to higher margins for the company. Indeed, according to GTCAP, TMPs operating income would rise by an estimated Php121Mil for every 1 unit increase (depreciation) of the Yen against the US dollar and would also grow by Php723Mil for every 1 Peso decline (appreciation) of the Peso against the US dollar. Note that analysts continue to expect the Philippine Peso to appreciate going forward given the surplus in the countrys balance of payments. Meanwhile, the Japanese Yen is expected to depreciate amidst the aggressive expansionary policies under Abenomics.

Earnings buoyed by strong car sales and higher margins

Based on our forecasts, we expect TMPs net income to grow at an annual rate of 28.1% over the next 3 years. This will be largely driven by a 14.5% CAGR in revenues and an improvement net margin from 4.2% as of 2012 to 5.9% by 2015.

Based on a discounted cash flow analysis, we arrived at our FV estimate for TMP of Php84.0Bil. This translates to a 2013E P/E of 18.7X.

Given GTCAPs 51.0% stake in TMP, the auto firm accounts for Php42.8Bil or Php245.8/sh of the holding companys NAV. This is equivalent to 24.8% of the Companys value.

AXA Life Low market penetration offers huge upside

Meanwhile, Philippine AXA Life Insurance is a joint venture between AXA Group one of the worlds largest insurance firms and the Metrobank Group. It is the countrys third largest insurance company in terms of total net premium income as of 2011. AXA offers life and investment-linked insurance products in the country through a multi-channel distribution network comprised of agents, bancassurance, corporate solutions, and direct marketing/telemarketing.

Low penetration provides large room for growth

The Philippine life insurance market is characterized by a relatively low penetration rate. According to the Swiss Reinsurance Company Sigma Report, total life insurance as a percentage of GDP was only at 0.7% in 2010, significantly lower than the 4.5%, 3.4%, and 4.5% average of Asia, North America, and Europe respectively. In addition, life insurance premium per capita was also much lower at US$14.30. We believe that the gap should steadily close as the standard of living improves with the stronger economy.

Bancassurance to leverage off Metrobanks extensive network

AXA plans to leverage off its strong relationship with Metrobank to drive its growth. Firstly, the extensive branch network of MBT enables AXA to tap the formers large client base nationwide. AXA gets through these customers by placing its financial executives in Metrobanks key branches, allowing them to cross-sell products to a broader group. Currently, AXA is able to sell its products through 600 of the MBTs 831 branches across the country. This greatly reinforces AXAs 28 independent branches.

On top of MBTs extensive network, AXA should also benefit from the strong brand image of MBT, which makes its products more marketable. As of 2011, 57% of AXAs insurance products come from its bancassurance business with MBT. We believe that this partnership with MBT gives AXA a competitive advantage over the other independent players.

Earnings forecasts

We forecast AXAs earnings to grow by 10.3% annually to Php1.24Bil by 2015, with net insurance premiums expanding by 18% per year over the same period.

Valuations

Our FV estimate for AXA is based on 3.0X 2013E P/BV. We believe such a multiple is warranted given our sustainable ROE assumption of 25%.

Given GTCAPs 25.3% stake in AXA, the insurance firm accounts for Php3.0Bil or Php17.0/sh of the holding companys NAV. This is equivalent to 1.7% of the Companys value.



Investment Rating Definitions

Stocks that have a BUY rating have attractive fundamentals and valuations, based on our analysis. We expect the share price

Stocks that have a HOLD rating have either 1.) attractive fundamentals but expensive

valuations; 2.) attractive valuations but near term earnings outlook might be poor or vulnerable to numerous risks. Given the

said factors, the share price of the stock may perform merely inline or underperform the market in the next six to twelve months.

We dislike both the valuations and fundamentals of stocks with a SELL rating.

We expect the share price to underperform in the next six to twelve months.
