Investment Merits

We initiate coverage on SCI with a BUY and a THB11.82/share TP.

We expect earnings to surge threefold over the next two years with growth coming from the 500kV power transmission line project in Laos. We have not included further upside potential from its new business unit, which will focus on the utility business. We are valuing SCI at THB11.82/share based on DCF with a WACC of 8.2% and a terminal growth rate of 3.0%. Our DCF target price implies a 11.3x 2017 P/E. We like the company strong growth profile given the projects in the pipeline; moreover, we like the company’s strategy to expand in the Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV) market and its already established strong presence in these countries.

Earnings may surge to new heights from the transmission line project in Laos.

Given the company’s past experience with the Power Distribution System Rehabilitation (PDSR) project phase one in Laos, we now expect the company to receive two new projects from the Electricite du Laos (EDL), totalling USD767m, in second half this year. The two projects are:

i) The PDSR project phase two (project value USD67m, with a twenty-eight months construction period); and,

ii) The construction of power transmission line and substation (project value USD700m, with a four years construction period). We believe the two project will have major positive impact on the company’s revenue, boosting its from THB2.09bn last year to THB2.53bn this year and THB6.50bn next year.

Expanding its tower business into Myanmar

The company plans to set up a power transmission line tower and telecom tower plant in Myanmar to serve the electricity and mobile coverage expansion there. According to media, mobile operators in Myanmar expect to increase their network coverage to 70% from the current 42-50% over the next two years and the number of telecommunication tower will need to increase to 17,300 towers as a result, from the currently 10,600 towers. We estimate that an investment in the telecommunication tower sector to be around THB10.0bn. Meanwhile, the demand for power in Myanmar still exceeded the available supply and the government plans to introduce the 500kV transmission line to connect the country’s facilities. The new plant will have a capacity to produce 7,500 tpa of transmission line and telecom tower and a capacity to galvanize steel of 22,000 tpa. The new Myanmar plant will bring up the company’s total production capacity by around 31% to 31,500 tpa. We expect the new plant to start contributing additional revenue of around THB340m/year in 2018 (assuming an 85% utilization rate).

Potential upside from its new utilities business

The company recently announced that it will expand more into utility business and has recently formed a JV with Property Perfect (PF TB, NR). The new business will invest in utility business such as solar roof and hydro power plant in neighbouring countries. However, we have not included the potential upside from this new business in our valuation since there is still no clear information regarding this investment.

Valuation And Recommendation We initiate on SCI with a BUY as we expect its core earnings to grow at an approximately CAGR of 95% over the next three years from THB187m in 2015 to THB1.3bn in 2018 as a result of obtaining the Power Distribution System Rehabilitation Phase II project, the 500kV Power Transmission Line and the Substation projects in Laos.

The company plans to set up a power transmission line tower and a telecom tower plant in Myanmar to serve the electricity and mobile coverage expansion in Myanmar. The new Myanmar plant will bring up the company total production capacity by around 31% to 31,500 tpa. We expect the new plant to start contributing additional revenue of around THB340m/year in 2018 (assuming an 85% utilization rate). We have already included the potential upside from the capacity expansion in our projections.

SCI recently announced that it will expand more into the utility business and it has recently formed a JV with its partner, Property Perfect (PF TB, NR). The new business will invest in utility business such as solar roof and hydro power plants in neighbouring countries. However, we have not included the potential upside from this new business in our valuation since there is still no clear information regarding this investment.

DCF method. Per Figure 1 below, we value SCI Electric at THB11.82/share, based on the DCF methodology, with a WACC of 8.2% and a terminal growth rate of 3%. We incorporate the assumptions shown in Figures 21 to 23. Our DCF target price implies a 11.3x 2017 P/E. We expect the company earnings to grow significantly over the next two years as it will incorporate a bulk of revenue from the Power Transmission Line and Substation projects, which we expect to be awarded this year.

Although (per Figure 2) SCI is currently trading at higher P/E and P/B multiples compared to its peers, we believe that the company is more attractive as it offers a much higher growth potential. Note that we expect SCI to trade at lower multiples in 2017 as we expect its earnings to surge as a result of the 500kV transmission line project.

Power transmission and distribution turnkey project. The company acts as an EPC contractor for high voltage transmission line and power distribution system projects in overseas markets. The company bids for projects directly from the project owner, then it hires subcontractors to complete the projects. Subcontractors will also be required to purchase equipment form the company if the company’s products are used for the projects. Previous projects that the company completed include the construction of 115kV transmission line in Laos and Power Distribution System Rehabilitation Project Phase I (PDSR Phase I) where SCI improved the efficiency of low and medium voltage distribution systems in four major cities: Vientiane, Thakhek, Savannakhet and Pakse.

Renewable and utility investment. The company received a thirty years concession (2013-2042) to build and operate a 3.2MW hydro-power plant located in Xepone, Savanakhet from the Laos Government in 2012. EDL agreed to purchase all the electricity dispatch from the power plant at USD0.066/KWh (increasing at the rate of 1% per annum) in years 1-10 and USD0.0465 (increasing at the rate of 1% per annum) in years 11-30. Around 90% of the payment would be made in USD while the rest in LAK. Although the hydro power plant does not have significant contribution to the company’s earnings, it served as a cornerstone for the company to expand its business in Laos. Recently, the company also set up T-utilities (40% SCI, 40% PF, and 20% outside parties), a subsidiary which will invest in solar rooftop, water utilities, coal fired power, hydro power and other renewable energy projects. However, there is still no clear detail regarding T-utilities future investment plan at the moment.

Industry Overview The switch boards and cable tray industry is highly competitive with many players. SCI is a small player in this niche market with less than 5% market share. Other major players in the sector includes ASEFA Public Company Limited (ASEFA TB, Non-rate), TIC Modular System Company Limited, Mantra Switchgear Company Limited, Precise Corporation Company Limited, SIEMENS and ABB.

Given that the majority of clients are in the utility and property sectors, the switch board and cable tray industry is mostly growing in tandem with the new power plant and property development projects. According to the Department of Industrial Work, the number of new factories has been growing at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2009 to 2014, which is in line with the country’s economic growth. We expect this moderate growth pattern to continue as there should be 1,929MW of new SPP power plants coming into the system in 2017.

Although we expect new projects launched by property developers to decline this year due to the current oversupply situation, we still expect them to launch new projects worth over THB250bn in 2016. Additionally, we expect new project launches to resume in the upcoming years after property developers have cleared up their excess inventory in 2016 on the back of the government infrastructure project plan.

Power transmission line tower and telecommunication tower industry is highly correlated to electricity demand and the network expansion plans by major mobile operators. The electricity demand and consumption has been increasing steadily at a rate of 3% pa; on top of this there is the new PDP 2015 target to double the country’s installed capacity to 70,410mw in 20 years. Transmission line and substation in Thailand also saw a similar growth pattern in the same period. The transmission line grew from 30,500km in 2010 to 32,500km in 2014 (CAGR of 2%). Given a target installed capacity of 70,410MW over the next 20 years (CAGR of 3%), we believe the investments in a transmission line and substation will continue to grow in a similar manner in the future.

The number of telecommunication towers usually grows in tandem with increasing data usage and a wider network coverage. According to the National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission (NBTC), mobile subscriptions have been increasing at

SCI Electric PCL Thailand Initiating Coverage

5 April 2016 Construction & Engineering | Engineering & Construction

See important disclosures at the end of this report 8

CAGR of 8% from 2010 to 2014. NBTC expects the number of subscriptions to continue increasing in the future due to the rise of the Machine to Machine communication (M2M).

The three mobile operators plan to roll out more than 30,000 base stations to support the new 4G technology. We believe the expansion plan by the three mobile operators will have minimal positive impact on SCI as it is mostly an upgrade of their existing cell site and base station which does not require many new telecommunication towers.

SCI is one of the leading companies in the manufacturing of telecommunication tower and power transmission line towers in Thailand with a 25% market share. Other major competitors include DEMCO (DEMCO TB, BUY, THB9.56), UA Withya (UWC TB, Non-rated), Siam Steel Tower, Thai Scandisk Steel, TCC Industrial Engineering.

As for its EPC business, we believe there are still plenty of opportunities for the company to expand its business in Laos and Myanmar as the infrastructure in these countries is still underdeveloped.

Laos Government plans to transform the country into the battery of Southeast Asia by exporting power to Thailand and Vietnam; Laos currently has power projects under construction of around 4,000MW and power projects under study of 10,000MW. As such, the construction and extension of transmission lines and distribution networks are needed for the interconnection among Laos and its neighboring countries. Specifically, the EDL plans to expand its high voltage transmission line for 4,405km over the next 5 years.

Financial Analysis The company’s total revenue grew in 2014 and declined in 2015 as SCI completed most of the PDSR Phase I project in 2014. However, we forecast the company revenues to pick up substantially over the next three years as we expect the company to sign the PDSR Phase II project (USD67m) and Power Transmission line and Substation in Laos (USD700-800m) during the second half this of this year.

Figure 20: Projects under development

Source: Company data

Moreover, we expect revenues from the power transmission towers and telecommunication towers to jump from THB982m in 2015 to 1.74bn in 2018 on the back of its tower capacity expansion in 2018.The company plans to set up a power transmission line tower and telecom tower plant in Myanmar to serve the electricity and mobile coverage expansion there. The new plant will have a capacity to produce 7,500 tpa of transmission line and telecom tower and have a capacity to galvanize steel of 22,000 tpa. The new Myanmar plant will bring up company’s total production capacity by around 31% to 31,500 tpa. We expect the new plant to start contributing additional revenue of around THB340m/ year in 2018 (assuming 85% utilization rate).

Gross profit margin increased in 2014 due to PDSR Phase I and declined in 2015 as the company completed the project. We expect the gross profit margin to improve this year but not back to the same level as in 2014 given that we expect power transmission line and substation project in Laos to yield lower gross profit margin compared to the PDSR project (15% vs 20%). However, we expect net profit margin to increase to a 12% level in 2017 as the company achieves economies of scale.

Source: RHB, Company data

At the end of 2015, SCI had a D/E ratio of 0.56x, but we expect this ratio to increase slightly to 0.98x in 2017 as the company may borrow more to finance its expansion in Myanmar. We believe the company can finance its expansion without the need to raise additional capital. The company has been reporting positive operating cash flows since 2012.

SCI has a dividend payout policy of no less than 40% of its earnings; as such, we expect the company to pay out at least 40% going forward as we project its earnings to hit record high over the next three years.

Risks Volatility in raw materials. Approximately 70% of SCI’s expenses are raw materials which comprise mainly of steel and zinc. The volatility in steel and zinc can adversely affect the company profitability. However, the company developed a cost plus strategy and locks in the steel needed for the project before signing a contract.

Delay in power transmission line and substation project. Power transmission line and substation project in Laos accounts for a large portion of our revenue forecast. The delay in this project can negatively affect our earnings forecast. However, we believe the project has a low probability of delay since the transmission line is built for a hydro power plant in Laos which will COD in 2018.
