Mar 2015 Tover -6.2% RM329.4m Net -30%

Cons(f) RM168m
The
company recorded overall numbers due to the continuous market uncertainties and
consumers were adopting a more cautious approach closer to the Goods and
Services Tax (GST) implementation. The 3 main divisions all recoded lower qtrs
with a) Television Network – Revenue for the period was lower by 7%.
Profit after tax has also declined by 56%, in tandem with lower revenue
recorded during the period. b) Print Media – Print revenue declined by 6%
due to lower newspaper sales revenue. c) Outdoor Media – Revenue
increased by 2% against previous comparative period. However, profit after tax
decreased by 2% due to provision for authority fees in the period.
Company
has guided for Adex to remain flat in 2015 as consumers slowly adjust to the
new tax system and consumer sentiment gradually normalises. It will seeks to
grow its non-traditional revenue while consolidating its market share in core
advertising revenue.
The
much weaker numbers is likely to impact its div payout which has been
supporting current valuations, a 30% dip in current year earnings could see its
current high yield dip closer to ard the 4.7% levels. However given the
uncertain outlook investors could demand a high yield to remain invested which
could see its price slip closer to ard the RM1.50 lvls.
6)
Market – Current dull sentiment could be lifted by the biggest listing this
year as Malakoff is relisted. IPO price of RM1.80 with immediate term earnings
growth bolstered by capacity payments from Tanjong Bin commencing 2016. We
recommend to take profits above the RM2.10 lvls as fwd yield dips below 4%.
