Takeaway from 1H15 Results Conference Call

Transcription

1 September 1, 2015 China Railway Construction Takeaway from 1H15 Results Conference Call Industry View Attractive Stock Rating Equal-weight Quick Comment: Management is confident that new orders will have notable recovery in 2H15, and is particularly optimistic on the recovery of railway orders. However, management is cautious in giving overseas order guidance this year, believing it would be challenging for new orders this year to reach last year's Rmb 128bn level. Overall, management thinks the new contract value this year will not be lower than last year, which would imply 16% YoY new order growth in 2H15. Optimistic on railway order recovery: CRCC's railway new orders declined 38% YoY in 1H15, and management believes this is partly because of a weaker-than-usual order tender from China Railway Corporation. It is normal to see stronger order tenders in the second half than the first half, and from July, CRC has started a large batch of new order tenders, including a few large projects; the company has won about Rmb 60bn from this batch, compared with total new railway orders in 1H15 at Rmb 81bn. Management explained that in 2014 there were 64 new-start railway projects, and the order bidding on more than 20 projects has not yet been completed and is expected to be completed later this year. The railway new-start projects target number is 60 this year, and the order bidding on most of them has not started yet. With local railway projects expected to start bidding by the end of the year, management is confident on the order prospects in 2H15. More metro and municipal projects in PPP model to come in 2H15: Management attributed the weak metro and municipal new contracts in 1H15 to central government's promotion of the PPP model, as local governments had to reschedule their project designs made by the end of last year to accommodate PPP model, resulting in delays of new orders. Management expects the situation to improve in 2H15 Gross margin improvement, but limited upside potential: Management attributes the gross margin improvement in 1H15 to lower raw material costs and improvements in management efficiency. However, according to some contract clauses, CRCC has to share the benefits of cost reduction, should raw material costs decline by more than a certain threshold ( say, 5%), so management does not think the company can continuously benefit from declining raw material prices. Management expects the gross margin to stay near the current 0.8% level.

Excluding the cash savings, CRCC's operating cash inflow would be Rmb3.7bn. A decline of Rmb2bn in accounts receivable also contributed to the positive operating cash flow. Large overseas order backlog to support overseas revenue growth. CRCC's overseas backlog is Rmb395.4bn, or ~17x the company's overseas revenue in Management thinks the reason for such a large gap between order backlog and revenue is that many signed overseas contracts have not yet been converted to effective contracts due to funding issues. 2
