Keppel Infrastructure Trust

(KEPL.SI / CITY SP) INITIATION

In infrastructure we trust

■ Initiate coverage with OUTPERFORM. With assets valued at more than S$4

bn in the power generation, gas retailing, electricity transmission, water and

wastewater treatment, and waste management segments, we believe that

Keppel Infrastructure Trust has visible cash flows, potential organic and

inorganic growth opportunities, as well as an attractive dividend yield.

■ Defensive play on infrastructure spending. Created through the

combination of Keppel Infrastructure Trust and Cityspring Infrastructure Trust,

as well as the acquisition of a 51% stake in Keppel Merlimau Cogen, the

enlarged Keppel Infrastructure Trust is the largest Singapore infrastructure-

focused business trust. Most of its assets are backed by long-term concession

agreements of between 9.5 and 20 years with government-linked entities,

providing good visibility to its near-term distributable cash flow.

■ Growth drivers from recovery in Basslink and potential acquisitions.

Inorganic growth may come from acquisitions from Sponsor Keppel

Infrastructure or third parties. Its 0.40x net gearing implies about S$805 mn

debt headroom assuming a 50% leverage. In addition, there could be

potential upside to distributable cash flow from the review of Basslink

Commercial Risk Sharing Agreement (CRSM) in 2Q16.

■ Attractive dividend yield of 7.2%. Our target price of S$0.57 is based on a

discounted cash flow over the contract duration of assets, assuming cost of

equity of 6.25%. The implied dividend yield of 6.5% at our target price would

be in line with peers, as well as normalised spread over ten-year Singapore

government bond yield. Key risks include lower-than-expected availability of

assets and interest rate risks, amongst others.

Keppel Infrastructure Trust

(KEPL.SI / CITY SP) 3

In infrastructure we trust Largest Singapore infrastructure business trust

Created through the combination of Keppel Infrastructure Trust (KIT) and Cityspring

Investment Trust (CIT), as well as the acquisition of a 51% stake in Keppel Merlimau

Cogen (KMC), the enlarged Keppel Infrastructure Trust (Enlarged Trust) is the largest

Singapore infrastructure-focused business trust with total assets in excess of S$4 bn. The

enlarged KIT has assets in the power generation, gas retailing, electricity transmission,

water and wastewater treatment, as well as waste management segments. Keppel

Merlimau Cogen (KMC) is the largest asset of the Enlarged Trust, representing 43% of

total assets and 18% of adjusted EBITDA in CY2014. Most of KIT's assets have long-term

concession agreements of between 9.5 and 20 years with creditworthy counterparties

such as government-linked entities.

Proxy to rising infrastructure spending in Singapore

According to the Singapore Budget 2015, total infrastructure spending will increase to

S$20 bn (4.8% of GDP) in FY2015 and to S$30 bn by the end of the decade. As a result,

we expect an increase in investment in utilities infrastructure projects such as Singapore's

third desalination plant. In the water resourcing strategy announced in June 2010, PUB

(Singapore’s national water agency) laid out plans to triple the country’s water reuse

capacity and to increase the desalination capacity eight-fold over the next 50 years. Within

the Singapore power market, capacity addition is expected to slow down in 2015–16, with

only 563 MW of capacity growth expected. With demand growth expected to exceed

supply growth from 2015E, we expect the reserve margin to decline to 44% in 2015E.

Growth drivers from acquisitions and asset injection

With negative Basslink Commercial Risk Sharing Mechanism (CRSM) payments of A$11–

17 mn in FY11–14, we expect a review of the CRSM with HydroTasmania (HT) in April

2016 to drive potential upside to cash earnings. The CRSM is meant to be neutral to both

parties in the long run, and the maximum negative payments will adjust to 12.5% of base

fee (from 20% currently) if both parties cannot agree. We also expect growth in EBITDA

from the completion of DataCentre One in 1Q16, a datacentre which is signed on an initial

20-year lease with 1-Net, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mediacorp. KIT also has first rights

over the remaining 49% of KMC, and the right of first refusal (ROFR) to acquire assets

developed or incubated by Keppel Infrastructure. Based on a pro-forma net gearing of

0.40x in end-2015, we estimate a S$805 mn debt headroom assuming a 50% leverage.

This would also enable KIT to pursue third-party acquisitions with an initial focus on

existing energy, telecoms, waste and water sectors.

Initiate with OUTPERFORM

Our target price of S$0.57 for Keppel Infrastructure Trust is based on our DCF valuation.

Our DCF valuation uses detailed forecasts between over the existing contract life of the

assets, as well as over the extension period for contracts with options. We do not assign a

terminal value for all assets with the exception of City Gas. We also assume a cost of

equity of 6.25% derived based on a market risk premium of 6.5%, a risk-free rate of 3%

and beta of 0.5x, in line with peers. Our target price of S$0.57 would imply a dividend yield

of 6.5%, in line with the market cap weighted average 2016 yield of ten longest weighted

average lease expiry (WALE) REITS, as well as normalised spread over ten-year

Singapore government bond yield. Key risks would include lower-than-expected

availability of assets, changes to the KMC tolling fee in the event of material adverse

change, variability in City Gas cash earnings, change in regulatory structure of gas

industry in Singapore, interest rate and FX risks.

KIT is the largest Singapore

infrastructure-focused

business trust with total

assets in excess of S$4 bn

Total infrastructure spending

is expected to increase to

S$30 bn by 2020 from S$20

bn in 2015.

We expect a review of the

CRSM with HydroTasmania

in April 2016 to drive

potential upside to cash

earnings.

Our target price of S$0.57

for Keppel Infrastructure

Trust is based on our DCF

valuation.

Benefits from Keppel sponsorship

Keppel Infrastructure (KI) is the sponsor to the Enlarged Trust with Keppel Infrastructure

Fund Management (KIFM) as the trustee-manager. KI has an established track record of

developing, owning and operating infrastructure assets and will be able to support KIT in

its growth strategies. In our view, KIT could benefit from KI's sponsorship through its

expertise in sourcing for acquisitions, operational expertise in managing assets, as well as

through potential co-investment opportunities or Right of First Refusal to acquire assets

developed by KI.

Acquisition of core infrastructure assets with long-term cash flows

KIT aims to provide unitholders with long-term, regular and predictable distributions by

pursuing investments that exhibit the following characteristics:

■ Long-term, regular and/or predictable cash flows.

■ Long-term contracts or concessions/customer stability.

■ Creditworthy or reputable off-takers.

■ Diversification of asset class risks.

■ Jurisdictions with well-developed legal framework.

SG$20 bn (4.8% of GDP) in FY2015, from SG$14 bn (3.6% of GDP) in FY2014 (see

Figure 21 and Figure 22), and to SG$30 bn by the end of the decade. While part of this

increase in infrastructure spending comes from higher spending on hospitals, public

transport and also the new Changi Airport, we also see investments in utilities

infrastructure projects such as Singapore's third desalination plant, which is scheduled to

be completed in 2017.

Singapore power market

Power generation capacity in Singapore increased by 2.7 GW or 27% in 2013–14

following the completion of Singapore’s LNG terminal in 2Q13 which increased gas supply.

Based on data from Energy Market Authority (EMA), capacity addition is expected to slow

down in 2015–16, with only 563 MW of capacity growth expected. With the exception of

Hyflux’s Tuaspring plant, which is likely to only commence operations in 2016, the

remaining additions are mainly embedded generation by industrial users.

Reserve margin likely to peak in 2014

We base the Credit Suisse power generation model on the following:

■ Historical generation capacity is based on data from the Energy Market Authority,

while additions are based on announced completion dates of planned expansions. We

assume no further capacity changes from 2017 onwards.

■ Forecast peak demand is driven by Singapore GDP growth, which Credit Suisse

expects to be 3.2% in 2015 and 4.7% in 2016. Thereafter, GDP is expected to grow by

3.5% p.a., in line with the Singapore government’s planning parameter of 3–4%.

Figure 25 shows the annual installed capacity in Singapore from 2007–20. We believe that

the reserve margin (peak demand minus installed capacity as a percentage of installed

capacity) reached a low of about 34% in 2011, leading to higher electricity prices during this

period. However, with installed capacity growing by 19% in 2013 and 7% in 2014, the reserve

margin increased to 46%, above the 2007 level. With demand growth expected to exceed

supply growth from 2015E, we expect the reserve margin to decline to 44% in 2015E.

Average USEP declined by 21% YoY in 2014

The expected increase in capacity has led to a decrease in the Uniform Singapore

Electricity Price (USEP) since 2013. USEP is the weighted average price in the wholesale

electricity market, and is determined through the interaction of offers made by generation

companies and consumer demand. The average USEP declined 21% from S$173/MWh in

2013 to S$137/MWh in 2014, and further to S$96/MWh YTD. However, we note that

Keppel Merlimau Cogen's tolling contract with Keppel Electric mitigates market risks

relating to potential further decline in power spreads.

Singapore water market

In the water resourcing strategy announced on 28 June 2010, PUB (Singapore’s national

water agency) laid out plans to triple the country’s water reuse capacity and to increase the

desalination capacity eight-fold over the next 50 years. This will allow Singapore to become

self-sufficient in meeting its projected water demand of 760 MiGD (3.45 mn m3/day) by the

time its long-term water purchase agreement with Malaysia expires in 2061.

NEWater Plants

According to PUB, the volume of water generated through reuse (NEWater) is expected to

triple by 2060 to meet 50% of Singapore’s future water demand. Various measures have

been planned to meet this target:

■ The Changi Water Reclamation Plant and the Changi NEWater Plant will be expanded

to meet the growing demand.

Page 16: Keppel Infrastructure Trust - Credit Suisse

■ The sixth NEWater Plant will be built at Tuas Water Reclamation Plant when Phase 2

of the Deep Tunnel Sewerage System is completed.

■ There are also plans to progressively ramp up the capacity of the future Tuas Water

Reclamation Plant and the Tuas NEWater Plant to meet demand.

Desalination

PUB plans to increase its desalination capacity eight-fold from 2010 to 1 mn cu m/day by

2060. The capacity increase is likely to meet up to 25% of Singapore projected water

demand. At least five coastal sites have been identified for future desalination plants.

Singapore WTE market

Due to space constraints in land-scarce Singapore, the National Environment Agency

(NEA) adopted waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration in the 1970s as an alternative method

to landfills for solid waste disposal as it is able to reduce waste volume by 90%. Between

1970 and 2014, Singapore's solid waste output increased from 1,260 t/day to 8,338 t/day.

The Ulu Pandan Incineration Plant, Singapore's first WTE plant, opened in 1979 and was

subsequently decommissioned in 2009. There are currently four operating WTE plants in

Singapore with two more in the pipeline, expected to be commissioned in 2016 and 2018.

Two of the plants, Senoko WTE and Tuas DBOO, operate on a public-private-partnership

(PPP) approach, with Keppel Seghers operating as the private operator.

Growth drivers from acquisitions and asset injection Basslink recovery

Basslink's primary source of revenue is a facility fee paid monthly by Hydro Tasmania (HT)

for the operation of the interconnector. The facility fee is based on the interconnector's

availability and is payable in full if the cumulative availability, based on the calendar year,

is equal to or greater than 97%. Basslink operates under the Basslink Services Agreement

(BSA) with HT. The BSA includes a Commercial Risk Sharing Mechanism (CRSM) to

share the market risk associated with participating in the National Electricity Market of

Australia between HT and Basslink. The CRSM payments are based on the differences

between the high and low spreads of the Victoria electricity pool prices, subject to a cap of

+25% (i.e. when payment is made to Basslink by HT) and a floor of -20% (i.e. when

payment from Basslink is made to HT) to the unadjusted facility fee.

The CRSM is meant to be neutral to both parties in the long run, and is due for review in

April 2016 if aggregate cumulative negative payments over the preceding five years

exceeds a certain percentage of the base fee. As negative CRSM payments ranged

between 15–20% of base fee over the past five financial years, we believe that a review

may be triggered. In the event that both parties cannot agree, maximum negative

payments will adjust to 12.5% of base fee.

Refinancing of Basslink borrowing

In November 2014, Basslink refinanced its outstanding bonds of A$486 mn due August

2015, A$48.8 mn inflation-indexed bonds due August 2017 and A$232 mn inflation-

indexed bonds due August 2019 with an A$717 mn five-year senior, secured loan facility,

provided by a group of nine banks. As part of the refinancing, CIT will contribute an equity

injection of A$50 mn. Previously, Cityspring had announced that no cash distribution will

be received from Basslink until the financing has been completed. The refinancing facility

enables Basslink to pay down loans to reduce interest expense and make distributions if

certain coverage ratios are met. KIT could also use cash flows to pay down loans so that

Basslink will be able to make larger distributions to replace those of expiring concessions.

CityGas growth

Through its predecessor entities, CityGas has had a long track record, having grown from

a gas producer and retailer of town gas to a retailer of both town gas and natural gas with

a customer base of about 700,000 customers in Singapore as at March 2015. With a

diverse customer base across the residential, commercial and industrial segment, the total

gas volume sold by CityGas has increased by 7.1% on average since FY09. This was

driven partially by an increase in number of customers from 622,000 in FY10 to 700,000.

Datacentre One

In June 2014, Cityspring and Shimizu established a new joint venture company,

DataCentre One (DC One), to develop and lease a data centre in Singapore. Cityspring

holds a 51% share in DC One, with the remaining 49% share held by Shimizu. The data

centre will be located at 2 Marsiling Lane on a land area of about 8,538 sq m. The building

will have four floors of data centre halls and one floor of office and ancillary space.

Construction commenced in 4Q14 and is expected to be completed by 1Q16.

1-Net, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mediacorp, signed a lease for the datacentre for a

period of 20 years, which may be renewed for approximately eight years at 1-Net's option.

The fees for the initial lease term of 20 years is approximately S$17 mn to S$21 mn

yearly. 1-Net is entitled to certain discounts on the fees during the first two years of the

lease term, and such fees after discount during the first two years will be approximately

S$11 mn to S$21 mn yearly.

Positive demand-supply dynamics for data centres in Singapore

A data centre is a building that houses information technology and telecommunication

systems. There is requirement for very high reliability and network availability, and the

building typically provides back-up power sources, redundant telecommunication

connections, strict building ambient controls and stringent security configuration.

The increased penetration of internet-enabled devices such as smartphones and tablets,

and the growing trend of digitalisation have led to an increase in growth in data creation

globally. BroadGroup expects internet-enabled devices and global internet users to

continue growing at a strong pace, reporting 2013–18F CAGR of 26.6% and 17.2% to 18.2

bn and 5.3 bn, respectively, all of which should continue to support the growth in data

creation/usage.

The increased compliance and regulatory requirements across various industries like the

banking and finance sectors, as well as healthcare industries, has helped boost demand

for data centre facilities. Increasingly, businesses are more open to the idea of outsourcing

their requirements to data centres, allowing them to focus on their core competencies and,

at the same time, not having to incur the upfront costs required for the data centre. With

Page 20: Keppel Infrastructure Trust - Credit Suisse

03 August 2015

Keppel Infrastructure Trust

(KEPL.SI / CITY SP) 20

the growing focus on capital rationalisation and progression towards the 'asset light'

business model, this will continue to underpin demand for outsourced data centre space.

The data centre sub-sector requires significant upfront costs and know-how, which may deter

or make it harder for new entrants. Track record is also an important element given the

mission-critical nature of the data centre business. It is also challenging to obtain the

appropriate site given considerations such as access to sufficient power and fibre connectivity

and generally low exposure to natural disasters, yet close enough to the businesses.

Overall utilisation in Singapore remains relatively high at about 85%-levels—higher than

many other markets, and BroadGroup forecasts utilisation rates will inch up to 92.1% in

2018F. Demand is expected mainly from financial institutions. As a result, rents are

expected to rise at a 4.9% CAGR over 2013–18F.

Pipeline from sponsor

The sponsor, Keppel Infrastructure, intends to support KIT by potentially warehousing

attractive greenfield projects until such projects achieve a more stable cash flow

generation capability and become suitable investments for KIT. This will facilitate the

creation of a pipeline of income-generation infrastructure projects for potential investment

by KIT. Keppel Infrastructure may also consider co-investing in assets with KIT.

KIT also has first rights over the remaining 49% of KMC, and the Right Of First Refusal

(ROFR) to acquire assets developed or incubated by Keppel Infrastructure. The pipeline of

projects include:

■ The Changi district cooling systems (DCS) plant, the first DCS plant in Singapore

since June 2000.

■ The Biopolis DCS plant, which is operational since July 2003.

■ The Mediapolis DCS plant, due for completion in 2015.

■ The Woodlands DCS plant, which is operational since July 2006.

Scenario analysis on acquisition of the 49% stake in KMC

Keppel Infrastructure Trust has first rights over Keppel Energy’s KMC shares in the event

that Keppel Energy wishes to divest its remaining 49% interest in KMC. Assuming a

potential injection at the same transaction multiples as the initial 51% stake, with a

continuation of the tolling agreement with Keppel Electric, we estimate that this could raise

distributable cash flows by about S$43 mn p.a.

Third-party acquisitions

KIT would also evaluate third-party acquisitions that meet its investment criteria, with an

initial focus on existing energy, telecoms, waste and water sectors. These acquisitions are

likely to be in jurisdictions with well-developed legal frameworks, including Asia (Australia,

Japan, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan), as well as select EU countries.

Gearing of 0.4x implies debt headroom for

acquisition

Following the combination with Cityspring Infrastructure Trust and acquisition of a 51%

stake in Keppel Merlimau Cogen financed by an equity fund raising, we estimate that

Keppel Infrastructure Trust will have a pro-forma net gearing of 0.40x in end-2015. This

would be slightly higher compared to S-REITS' average of 0.35x, but lower than other

Asian infrastructure trusts and Australian infrastructure companies. There is no leverage

limit on business trusts in Singapore, compared to S-REITS’ regulatory limit of 45%

(effective 1 January 2016) based on the recently released MAS consultation paper.

Net gearing Average

Source: Company data, the BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL™ service, Credit Suisse estimates

Keppel Infrastructure Trust currently has a blended average interest rate of 4–5%, based

on Singapore average interest rates of 2–3%, and Australian average interest rates of 6–

7%. Management intends to enter into interest rate hedging contracts to hedge 70–80% of

its interest rate exposure, which should mitigate any near-term impact of interest rate

spikes, giving the higher visibility of distributable income. About 67% of KIT’s borrowing is

currently hedged, and management aims to bring its total amount hedged to about 80%.

Capex requirements in near term

The total consideration cost for DataCentre One is approximately S$130 mn, to be funded

50:50 by equity financing and long-term debt financing. Keppel Infrastructure Trust will

provide equity financing pro-rata to its 51% shareholding in the JV. It is expected that the

debt financing will be in the form of long-term project finance loans. In our estimates, we

forecast a S$22.1 mn equity injection into the JV in 2015, which leads to lower

distributable cash flows.

Initiate with OUTPERFORM DCF-derived target price of S$0.57

Our target price for Keppel Infrastructure Trust of S$0.57 is based on our DCF valuation.

Our DCF valuation uses detailed forecasts between over the existing contract life of the

assets, as well as over the extension period for contracts with options. We do not assign a

terminal value for all assets with the exception of CityGas. We also assume a cost of

equity of 6.25% derived based on a market risk premium of 6.5%, a risk-free rate of 3%

and beta of 0.5x, in line with peers.

Yield comparison versus peers

Due to its long-term concession agreements and relatively more resilient asset class, we

have compared KIT to the top-ten REITs with the longest WALE. Our target price of

S$0.57 would imply a dividend yield of 6.5%, in line with the market cap weighted average

yield of 6.5% in 2016.

Yield spread comparison

Using the yield spread between the top-ten longest WALE REITs plus Singapore business

trusts of 3.89% and the ten-year government bond yield of 2.66%, the implied yield is

6.55%. However, if we took a more normalised assumption to the ten-year bond yield and

assumed the historical average of 3%, we arrive at an implied yield of 6.48%.

Risks In assessing the risks, we look at a combination of industry as well as company-specific

risks. Keppel Infrastructure Trust’s cash earnings are exposed to availability of assets, and

higher-than-expected downtime could consequently affect our distributable cash flow

estimates.

Risks relating to enlarged KIT assets

Lower-than-expected availability of assets

If KMC does not ensure that the KMC Plant is able to meet certain availability and capacity

targets for Keppel Electric (the Toller), the Toller is not required to pay the fixed capacity

fee of S$9,000,000 per month to KMC in full, and may reduce the payments

proportionately. Therefore, while the CTA is designed to ensure that KMC does not take

on the market risks of owning and operating a power plant as an independent power

producer, KMC is still subject to the risks of the KMC Plant being unable to meet the

availability and capacity targets in order to receive the capacity fees in full. Assuming that

the CTA had been effective in 2014, the availability factor would have been 99.5%. This

was due to a single isolated incident involving one generating unit. Correspondingly, the

capacity fee if the CTA was in place in 2014 would have been S$107.3 mn. Operator

training and standard operating procedures have been improved to avoid recurrence.

Likewise, if the time required for repairs and maintenance of the plants exceeds the time or

frequency anticipated, the available incineration capacity for the Senoko Plant and the Tuas

DBOO Plant, or available production capacity for the Ulu Pandan Plant, or available

electricity generation capacity for the KMC Plant, may fall below their respective contracted

capacities. This could result in the Senoko Trustee, the Tuas DBOO Trustee, the Ulu

Pandan Trustee or KMC, not receiving the full payments due under the respective Senoko

ISA, the Tuas DBOO ISA, the NEWater Agreement or the CTA. As shown in Figure 57 and

Figure 58, both Senoko and Tuas DBOO have an availability factor above the requirement

since July 2010.

Changes to the tolling fee in the event of material adverse change

Both the Toller and KMC have the right to request a negotiation over an adjustment to the

tolling fee when a 'material adverse change' occurs, which includes changes to the vesting

contract level or vesting contract price. As the vesting contract price and level are subject

to change approximately every two years, there could be situations in which the tolling fee

Page 32: Keppel Infrastructure Trust - Credit Suisse

03 August 2015

Keppel Infrastructure Trust

(KEPL.SI / CITY SP) 32

may reduce in the near future. However, although the Toller has the right to request an

adjustment of the tolling fee, it is not an automatic entitlement. KMC will be required to

negotiate with the Toller but it is not legally obliged to agree to any change to the tolling

fee if it is not in its best interests to do so.

Vesting contracts were implemented by the Energy Market Authority in January 2004 to

control the exercise of market power by the generation companies and promote efficiency

and competition in the electricity market. The vesting contracts commit the generation

companies to sell a specified amount of electricity (vesting contract levels) at a specified

price (the vesting contract price). As a result, it takes away incentives for the generation

companies to exercise their market power by withholding their generation capacity to push

up spot prices in the wholesale electricity market. Vesting contracts were allocated only to

generation companies that had made their planting decisions before the decision in 2001

to introduce vesting contracts. A generation company’s allocation is made in proportion to

the licensed capacity eligible for vesting contracts, as shown in Figure 59.

Following a biennial review, EMA has announced that the vesting contract level will be

progressively reduced from 40% to 30% for 1H15, 25% for 2H15, and 20% for 2016. This

was driven by the view that it can be lowered to the LNG vesting level (about 16%) for

2015–16 without market power concerns. The gradual reduction is intended to allow the

respective retail arms to adjust their hedging portfolios and contract cover as the vesting

contract level is reduced from 40% to 20%. In particular, it was noted that there is no intent

for vesting contracts 'to provide revenue certainty to the gencos nor is the sustainability of

gencos' revenue a factor that should be taken into account when setting the VCL.”

As shown in Figure 61, the vesting contract price of S$160/MWh is at a 81% premium to

the USEP of S$89/MWh in 1Q15. While the average USEP rose above the vesting price

for certain periods in 2Q09-1Q12, the average USEP has been consistently below the

vesting price since 3Q12 as new generation capacity has been added to the market.

Contract renewal risk

After the initial 15-year term, the toller, Keppel Electric, has certain rights to provide a

matching offer if KMC proposes to source for a third party to enter into a new CTA. If KMC

cannot find a third party within a prescribed time period, the toller is given an option (but has

no obligation) to extend the duration of the CTA by a ten-year period on the same terms. If

the CTA is not renewed and KMC is unable to find other tollers, KMC is potentially exposed

to market risk. However given the strategic nature of power plants in Singapore, with

difficulties to replicate due to land constraints, construction cost and other restrictions, we

believe that the risk of KMC being exposed to market risk after 15 years is low.

Variability in CityGas' cash earnings

There is variability in CityGas' cash earnings and it can be affected by movements in fuel

costs. Fuel costs consist mainly of the cost of natural gas. This is, in turn, recoverable from

the fuel component of the town gas tariffs determined by the EMA. On a long-term basis,

changes in fuel costs are expected to have no impact on CityGas as fuel costs are passed

through to end-users. However, at any point in time, the actual tariff for town gas may not

exactly match fuel costs as tariff changes are subject to a periodic regulatory process

whereas fuel prices change daily. The short-term impact may therefore be evident if there

are changes in fuel prices.

In addition, if the conditions in the gas retailer licence granted by EMA to CityGas require

any change in town gas tariffs, they have to be approved by EMA. On certain occasions,

CityGas has been allowed by EMA to adjust the tariff to take into account increases in fuel

prices. In the event that EMA does not allow CityGas to increase its tariff for whatever

reason, CityGas may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to cover its increased

costs which would adversely affect its earnings.

CityGas may be impacted by change in regulatory structure of gas industry in

Singapore

There have been discussions between CityGas, SP PowerGrid and EMA on the proposed

conversion of the low-pressure piped town gas supply network in Singapore to carry

natural gas. If implemented, CityGas could incur substantial conversion costs. EMA has

started a public consultation on gas conversion. If approved, the conversion project is

expected to take six to seven years to complete, comprising approximately one-and-a-half

years for project preparation and a further five years for project implementation. Upon

Page 34: Keppel Infrastructure Trust - Credit Suisse

03 August 2015

Keppel Infrastructure Trust

(KEPL.SI / CITY SP) 34

approval of the project it is expected that PowerGas will carry out the conversion of the

gas network from carrying town gas to natural gas, while CityGas will carry out the

conversion of the gas appliances of its customers. CityGas will be responsible for ensuring

that appliances operate satisfactorily and safely on natural gas at the point of conversion.

CityGas estimates that the costs of conversion to natural gas would be approximately

S$200 mn over an estimated period of six to seven years. If conversion occurs, CityGas

intends to explore ways to raise financing, including debt financing, to meet those costs.

CityGas faces price competition from retailers of LPG and electricity

CityGas faces price competition from retailers of LPG, which is an alternative product used

by consumers in Singapore for cooking. The price of CityGas’ town gas relative to the

price of LPG could affect the revenue which CityGas generates from certain segments of

the commercial market in Singapore if its customers decide to use LPG instead of town

gas due to the lack of price competitiveness on the part of town gas supplied by CityGas.

SingSpring may be impacted by lower-than-expected offtake of desalinated water

PUB is not required to commit to any minimum offtake of desalinated water. If PUB

reduces its offtake, SingSpring’s variable revenue will be negatively impacted. The

Singspring Plant is designed to produce water cost-effectively within a certain range of the

plant’s daily production capacity. If PUB chooses to take desalinated water at a rate

outside of the design range, SingSpring’s cash flow would be negatively affected from the

reduced variable revenue and increased operational costs associated with producing

desalinated water in a less efficient manner. The reliability of the plant may also be

negatively impacted.

Commercial Risk Sharing Mechanism of Basslink

While the stated intention of this mechanism is to have a neutral impact on both parties

over the longer term, there could be short-term fluctuations in CRSM adjustments due to

periods of droughts or other seasonal variations, or other disruptions affecting Victorian

power generators or transmission network or the Victorian electricity market generally.

Such fluctuations may result in an outflow of payment from Basslink to Hydro Tasmania.

This may adversely affect the revenue of Basslink under the Basslink Services Agreement

and, hence, may consequently have a material adverse effect on the Enlarged Trust’s

financial results and, ultimately, distributions to unitholders of the Enlarged Trust.

Fees payable to KMC O&M under the OMSA are not fixed

The OMSA is not a fixed price agreement and there is potential for the amount payable by

KMC to KMC O&M to exceed the budgeted amounts, such as costs incurred for

unplanned maintenance which is not due to the fault of KMC O&M. KMC O&M will not be

liable for outages or breakdowns if KMC does not meet unforeseen expenses outside

KMC O&M’s control. This may lead to KMC’s profits being eroded if it is unable to manage

KMC O&M’s expenses. However, cost control mechanisms have been included in the

OMSA to limit the extent of such costs increase, including:

■ KMC is able to reimburse all costs during an initial two-year period to achieve a better

understanding of the budgeting and cost structures of the project such that it is better

able to prevent cost overruns from the third year onwards;

■ All reimbursable expenses have to meet the requirements of the defined term

'reimbursable expenses items', except any costs caused by KMC O&M’s negligence or

breach of the OMSA; and

■ KMC O&M is only able to incur additional reimbursable expenses beyond the amounts

under the AOMP with KMC’s consent

FX risks

Keppel Infrastructure Trust is exposed to Australian Dollar (AUD) foreign currency risk as

its Australian subsidiaries make its distribution in AUD, which affects the amount of SGD

distributions that KIT is able to pay its unitholders. Borrowing in Australian currency

provides a natural currency hedge against FX exposure arising from business cash flows.

Credit Suisse has AUD/USD forecast of 0.71 in three months and 0.68 in 12 months.

According the Credit Suisse FX team, the market is currently pricing in a modest 18%

probability of an August RBA rate cut, which we think is too low and see scope for a

dovish surprise to weigh on the AUD. Iron ore and oil prices have fallen 20% and 15%,

respectively, since early June, putting renewed pressure on Australia’s terms of trade.

RBA Governor Stevens has also reiterated that additional rate cuts remain on the table,

but that they would need to create a sustained benefit to the economy. However, as cash

flow from Basslink is not used for distribution to unitholders currently, we do not expect a

further weakening in the AUD to have an impact on near-term DPU for KIT.

The analyst(s) responsible for preparing this research report received Compensation that is based upon various factors including Credit Suisse's total revenues, a portion of which are generated by Credit Suisse's investment banking activities

As of December 10, 2012 Analysts’ stock rating are defined as follows:

Outperform (O) : The stock’s total return is expected to outperform the relevant benchmark*over the next 12 months.

Neutral (N) : The stock’s total return is expected to be in line with the relevant benchmark* over the next 12 months.

Underperform (U) : The stock’s total return is expected to underperform the relevant benchmark* over the next 12 months.

*Relevant benchmark by region: As of 10th December 2012, Japanese ratings are based on a stock’s total return relative to the analyst's coverage universe which consists of all companies covered by the analyst within the relevant sector, with Outperforms representing the most attractive, Neutrals the less attractive, and Underperforms the least attractive investment opportunities. As of 2nd October 2012, U.S. and Canadian as well as European ra tings are based on a stock’s total return relative to the analyst's coverage universe which consists of all companies covered by the analyst within the relevant sector, wi th Outperforms representing the most attractive, Neutrals the less attractive, and Underperforms the least attractive investment opportunities. For Latin American and non-Japan Asia stocks, ratings are based on a stock’s total return relative to the average total return of the relevant country or regional benchmark; prior to 2nd October 2012 U.S. and Canadian ratings were based on (1) a stock’s absolute total return potential to its current share price and (2) the relative attractiveness of a stock’s total return potential within an analyst’s coverage universe. For Australian and New Zealand stocks, the expected total return (ETR) calculation includes 12-month rolling dividend yield. An Outperform rating is assigned where an ETR is greater than or equal to 7.5%; Underperform where an ETR less than or equal to 5%. A Neutral may be assigned where the ETR is between -5% and 15%. The overlapping rating range allows analysts to assign a rating that puts ETR in the context of associated risks. Prior to 18 May 2015, ETR ranges for Outperform and Underperform ratings did not overlap with Neutral thresholds between 15% and 7.5%, wh ich was in operation from 7 July 2011.

The price, value of and income from any of the securities or financial instruments mentioned in this report can fall as well as rise. The value of securities and financial instruments is subject to exchange rate fluctuation that may have a positive or adverse effect on the price or income of such securities or financial instruments. Investors in securities such as ADR's, the values of which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume this risk. Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in this report may have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment and, in such circumstances, you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some investments may not be readily realisable and it may be difficult to sell or realise those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed.
