Wilmar International Limited (Wilmar) is one of Asia's leading agri-business group, where its business activities include oil palm cultivation, edible oils refining, oilseeds crushing, consumer pack edible oil processing and merchandising, among others. And over the years, it has established a resilient integrated agri-business model which not only captures the entire value chain of the agricultural commodity processing business, but also enables it to extract margins at every step of the value chain, resulting in significant operational synergies and cost efficiencies. Well diversified markets. Headquartered in Singapore, its operations are located in over 20 countries across four continents, with a primary focus on Indonesia, Malaysia, China, India and Europe. We understand that Wilmar currently controls about 25% of the world's CPO (crude palm oil) refining capacity and 25% of China's soy bean crushing capacity. Wilmar also has a 40% share of the global CPO sales and nearly 50% share of China's consumer pack edible oil market. In addition, it is also one of the largest edible oils refiners and a leading producer of consumer pack edible oils in India. It also intends to develop an integrated agri-business with experienced partners in West Africa. Potential listing of China operations. Given its extensive network and business in China, Wilmar has plans to spin off its business there with a primary listing either in Hong Kong or China. According to management, it plans to float 20-30% of its China business, but did not rule out selling more. Benefits of the move include unlocking value for existing shareholders, the ability to expand into other areas with the China listco etc. We believe that it is a good move for the reasons mentioned by the company and we also see the potential spin-offs involving its other sizeable operations overseas. Initiate coverage with BUY and S$5.64 fair value. Despite its integrated agri-business model, Wilmar remains subject to the volatile fluctuations in the prices of vegetable oil like soy bean and CPO, which remains a key risk for us. But given that cooking oil is a necessity and demand should be fairly inelastic, we believe it may be less of an issue for more downstream plays like Wilmar than pure plantation plays. As such, we initiate coverage on the stock with S$5.64 fair value (based on 18x blended FY09/10 PER) and a BUY rating.

Section A: Integrated Agri-Business Model Integrated agri-business model. Wilmar International Limited (Wilmar) is one of Asia's leading agri-business groups. It is principally engaged in the businesses of oil palm cultivation, oilseeds crushing, edible oils refining, consumer pack edible oils processing and merchandising, specialty fats, oleo-chemicals, bio-diesel, fertilizers and soy protein manufacturing, rice and flour milling, and grains merchandising. Exhibit 1: Integrated Agri-Business Model Source: Company Its business strategy involves building an integrated business model which captures the entire value chain of the agricultural commodity processing business, from origination, processing and transportation to the branding, merchandising and distribution of a wide range of agricultural products. This allows Wilmar to extract margins at every step of the value chain and enjoy significant operational synergies and cost efficiencies. Origination Wilmar engages in oil palm cultivation in Indonesia and Malaysia and is one of the largest plantation companies in these two countries. In Indonesia, its plantations are located in Sumatra, West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan (southern region) while in Malaysia, they are located in Sabah and Sarawak. As of end Sep 2008, Wilmar owns more than 500,000 hectares of plantation land, of which nearly 219,000 hectares are planted. At the moment, its plantations supply about 42% of its Crude Palm Oil (CPO) production. For the rest of its requirements, Wilmar typically sources it from third party plantation companies like First Resources and Kencana Resources. Page 3 23 June 2009
Exhibit 2: Cultivation of Oil Palm and Harvesting Source: Company Processing Wilmar also owns and operates a number of strategically located and vertically integrated processing plants in Indonesia, Malaysia, China, India and Europe to process palm and lauric oils into, among others, RBD (refined, bleached and deodorized) palm oil, RBD palm olein, RBD palm stearin, specialty fats, oleo-chemicals and bio-diesel. These palm oil, lauric and related products are widely used in many industries, including food manufacturing, cosmetics and pharmaceutical. Currently, we understand that Wilmar is the largest global processor and merchandiser of palm and lauric oils. Page 4 23 June 2009
Exhibit 3: Processing Schematic Source: Company Merchandising, Shipping and Distribution Finally, Wilmar blends, packs and markets its products to endcustomers under its own brands in three of the most populous countries in the world - China, India and Indonesia. It also sells consumer pack products in Vietnam and Bangladesh. Page 5 23 June 2009
Exhibit 4: Consumer packs in China Source: Company In China, it produces and markets various brands of different types of edible oils, targeted at different market segments. These market segments are drawn by geographical regions and consumer preferences. It has since established a comprehensive sales and distribution network spanning traditional retail outlets, hypermarkets, supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide.

Section B: Well Diversified Markets Headquartered in Singapore, its operations are located in over 20 countries across four continents, with a primary focus on Indonesia, Malaysia, China, India and Europe. Backed by a staff force of around 70,000 people, over 160 processing plants and an extensive distribution network, its products are delivered to over 50 countries Exhibit 6: Segmental Breakdown by Region FY07 FY08 5% 8% 12% 52% 23% 6% 9% 12% South East Asia China India Europe Others 49% 24% South East Asia China India Europe Others Source: Company China dominates. In FY08, Wilmar derived the lion's share (49%) of its total revenue from China, which comes as no surprise, given that Wilmar currently controls about 25% of China's soy bean crushing capacity as well as almost 50% of the consumer pack edible oil market there. We understand that its Arawana brand of cooking oil is among the top selling premium brands in China. Downturn should be soft. No doubt the Chinese economy is also widely expected to slow amidst the global recession, with the World Bank now forecasting a GDP growth of 7.2% for this year, versus the heady doubledigit growth rates over the past few years. But the PRC government is closely monitoring the situation to engineer a soft landing for the economy. It has already announced a massive RMB4t (S$800b) aid package to stimulate the economy and domestic consumption. The government has also said that it stands ready to implement additional measures to support the nation's industries should the need arises. Page 7 23 June 2009

As such, management remains very upbeat about the Chinese market, where the growing population is still expected to continue to urbanize at a rapid rate. Besides the demand for cooking oil growing in line with the population, Wilmar further believes that as income levels increase, Chinese consumers will want better quality food as well as processed food (due to lifestyle changes) such as bread, pastries and cookies. And as these manufacturing processes for processed food typically require large amount of shortening and margarine made from CPO and other oilseeds, this growth in demand is likely to exceed that of cooking oil. Potential listing of China operations. And as mentioned earlier, its operations in China generated some US$14.3b of revenue for the group in FY08, and according to management, it also contributed about US$500m to its bottom line last year. Given the scale of its operations there, Wilmar has plans to spin off its China subsidiary with a primary listing either in Hong Kong or China. According to management, it plans to float 20-30% of its China business, but did not rule out selling more. Benefits of the move include unlocking value for existing shareholders and the ability to expand into other areas with the China listco etc. However, management cautions that it is still early days yet as the listing process may still take several years.

South East Asia should be resilient. Meanwhile, the South East Asia market is the second largest revenue contribution, accounting for 24% of total FY08 revenue. Again, this comes as no surprise, given that its headquarter is in Singapore and its plantations are in both Malaysia and Indonesia. While these South East Asian countries are not immune to the global economic slowdown, these countries have been quick to mitigate the impact on their economies with additional fiscal stimulus packages. Besides cutting interest rates, these packages often involve the governments putting money into the hands of their citizens to sustain domestic consumption. Russia a potential for growth. Europe makes up another significant chunk of its revenue, with an 9% share in FY08. Wilmar is currently the largest edible oils refiner in Ukraine. Recently, Wilmar has formed a joint-venture (JV) with Nizhny Vovgorod Fats & Oils Group (NMGK) - one of the largest fats and oil producers of edible fats and vegetable oil and other related products in Russia - to further extend its reach into Eastern Europe. According to Wilmar, NMGK Group's main strength lies in its extensive channels targeted at consumers within Russia. Not cutting back on basics. But Europe, like Asia and the rest of the world, is facing a dire economic situation. Then again, governments there also recognised that drastic times call for drastic measures and have all put massive stimulus packages in place. And while consumers in tough times may still pinch on discretionary spending, they are unlikely/unable to cut back on essential food items and cooking oil is one of them. Nevertheless, we do expect consumers to "down trade" from a more expensive type of cooking oil to a cheaper alternative, and palm oil-based cooking oil is one of the cheapest around. And this could work in Wilmar's favour, given its extensive range of oilseed-related products India, the other Asian growth potential. The group has also made significant headway into India. The subcontinent now contributes around 6% of its total revenue (as of FY08), or around US$1.7b, which is more than double the US$793m sales recorded in the previous year. Again, the growth story is almost the same as China - a growing population that is also urbanizing albeit at a slower rate. Management believes India has huge market potential for Wilmar and it is still in the process of building more crushing and refining capabilities as well as expanding its consumer pack business. Page 9 23 June 2009
Leaving no stone unturned. Last but not least, Wilmar is also looking to expand its reach into the African sub-continent. Wilmar already has started to transplant its expertise into West Africa to develop oil palm and rubber plantations there. However, it would not be doing it alone - Wilmar intends to get experienced partners to assist in developing the integrated business model by providing local expertise in management, merchandising and distribution. So far, we understand that it has already invested in nearly 40 hectares of palm oil plantations and will be looking to expand into rubber plantations as well. Besides the abundance of land there, management added that it makes economic sense to produce there due to the high import tax (around 20% currently) as well as the tax breaks given by the African governments for agri-related companies.

For the first quarter of FY2009, revenue fell by 30.6% YoY and 14.9% QoQ to US$4958.1m, where the drop was mainly due to lower selling prices of agricultural commodities. Compared to 1Q08, the average prices of major Palm & Laurics products were 40-50% lower, while major Oilseeds & Grains products were 10-50% lower.

Physical demand still strong. On the other hand, we note that the decline in physical volume shipped was a lot smaller and some even showed an increase. For example, for its Palm and Laurics products, there was a fall of just 15.5% YoY in sales volume, as opposed to a 42.7% fall in revenue. For its Oilseeds & Grains business, sales volume actually jumped 24.7% YoY vs. a fall of 3.5% in revenue.

More importantly, we note that gross and net margins have been improving, despite the drop in revenue, especially in the last two quarters. According to management, the improvements in gross margin in 1Q09 came from better timing of its raw material purchases and product sales in its Palm and Laurics business; and sharply lower feedstock prices for its Consumer Products segment. In addition, we understand that Wilmar was also able to raise the selling prices of its consumer packs in China, which also added to the improved margins. On the net margin front, the increase came primarily from lower selling and distribution expenses - there was no export duty incurred in 1Q09 and lower freight rates to major destinations with the exception of the Middle East. Given that freight rates are still expected to remain low in the foreseeable future, we think that Wilmar should be able to sustain its margins. Page 12 23 June 2009

On the balance sheet front, Wilmar ended the quarter with a strong cash balance of US$2608m, of which, US$1308m is not pledged to any bank. The group also has some US$12624m of credit facilities where only 39% has been utilized; and 64% of the utilized facilities were for trade financing lines, backed by inventories and receivables. Together with the unpledged cash, it has some US$9003m of total liquidity available as at the end of 1Q09. In any case, the net debt/equity ratio stood at a comfortable 0.23x at the end of 1Q09, which was also an improvement from 0.25x at the end of FY08. Source: Company Page 13 23 June 2009
Section D: Valuation and Recommendation Trading closer to food commodity plays. The palm oil plantation segment in Singapore is pretty well represented by pure plantation plays like First Resources and Kencana Resources to plantations with sizable downstream operations like Indofood Agri-Resources. However, due to Wilmar's significant downstream operations in other edible oil products as well as trading business, we believe that we should also consider food commodity players like Olam International and Petra Foods in deriving the appropriate peer group comparison. As we can see from Exhibit 13, Wilmar trades closer to the latter companies than to pure plantation plays in terms of P/E.

One reason for the higher valuations on Bursa could be that investors there understand plantation companies slightly better due to their longer listing status as compared to those listed on the SGX-ST. But we suspect this valuation discrepancy to narrow once investors here get a better handle on the plantation business i.e. we may see a re-rating of SGX-listed plantation plays. Page 14 23 June 2009
Exhibit 14: Historical P/E Perspective Source: Bloomberg On a historical perspective, we note that Wilmar currently still trades at a discount of 20% to it's the average P/E of 21.2x since the reverse takeover of Ezyhealth Asia Pacific in Jul 2006. More importantly, we see that the P/E ratio has remained relatively low despite the recent rebound in price, suggesting that the relative quality of its earnings has improved as compared to just a year ago. Initiate coverage with BUY rating. Looking at both the relative valuation of its peers as well as the stock's historical average, we think that a valuation of 18x blended FY09/FY10 PER would be appropriate at this stage. This translates to a fair value of S$5.64 for Wilmar. Given the potential 15.4% upside potential from here, we initiate coverage on Wilmar with a BUY rating. We also note that we have yet to factor into our fair value is the potential spin-offs of its businesses in China, India and even Europe - we will be doing so as we get more information. Risks Volatile raw material prices. Despite its integrated agri-business model, Wilmar remains subject to the volatile fluctuations in the prices of vegetable oil like soy bean and CPO, which remains a key risk for us. However, we note that Wilmar has shown a consistent ability to manage the price fluctuations (see Exhibit 15), often riding out the volatility with aplomb. In addition, as cooking oil is a necessity and given demand should be fairly inelastic, we believe it may be less of an issue for more downstream play like Wilmar than pure plantation plays.

Another key risk would be foreign currency fluctuations as it has substantial operations around the globe. However, Wilmar is aware of this and currently uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts, foreign currency options and various commodities futures, options and swap contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency and commodity price fluctuations. Possible price caps on consumer packs. As Wilmar is selling an essential food item (cooking oil), this subjects its consumer packs to government price controls, especially in instances where inflation is very high. In these situations, Wilmar may face severe margin squeeze as its raw material costs continue to rise but any increase in its ASPs (Average Selling Price) would need approval from the government, where the process may be quite long drawn.
