PUBLIC INVESTMENT BANK BERHAD (20027-W)
9th Floor, Bangunan Public Bank
6, Jalan Sultan Sulaiman, 50000 Kuala Lumpur
T 603 2031 3011 | F 603 2272 3704 | Dealing Line 603 2260 6718

Lotte Chemical Titan Holding Berhad (LCT), pursuant to the completion of its book building process has fixed its institutional price at RM6.50 per IPO share (previously guided at between RM7.60 and RM8.00 per IPO share). The final retail price for the IPO shares has also been fixed at RM6.50. The listing remains scheduled for 11th July 2017, and is expected to raise c.RM3.8bn (previously RM5.9bn) from new issuance of 580.0m shares (previously 740.5m shares). Revision in the share base has therefore necessitated an adjustment to our fair value, which now also assumes borrowings to make up the capex funding “shortfall”. We are thus revaluing LCT at RM7.72 per share based a revised FY18F EPS of 64.3sen, pegged to a lower 12.0x P/E multiple (previously 13.0x) as we remove the slight premium to the Group’s Southeast Asian peer average of 12.2x. We believe at the new final price of RM6.50, LCT’s growth is attractive, reflecting a 10.1x P/E to our FY18F estimates. This is further sweetened by the potentially higher dividend yield of 6.6% (previously 5.2%).

  • Change in IPO details. LCT has reduced both the final institutional and retail prices to RM6.50 per IPO share (previously guided at between RM7.60 and RM8.00), while also lowering the IPO offering size to 580.0m shares from previous 740.5m shares, all of which comes from the institutional portion (reduced to 524.2m shares from 684.7m shares previously).
  • LCT has also included a buy-back offer, available to both retail investors and non-cornerstone Bumiputera investors approved by MITI that had subscribed for the IPO shares on or by the closing date of 28 June 2017 prior to the change in final retail price of RM6.50 per IPO share. The buy-back offer will involve c.RM384.8m if all affected investors affected accept the offer. The new retail price of RM6.50 translates to a 10.1x P/E on FY18F EPS of 64.3sen, we are therefore encouraged that investors would see its valuations to be attractive and not take up the buy-back offer.
  • Change in funding allocation for its following projects. The utilisation of proceeds have changed, with a reduction on funding for the Integrated Petrochemical Facility in Indonesia to RM2.8bn (previously RM4.9bn), but the TE3 Project and PP3 Project remains unchanged. Estimated listing expenses are also lowered to RM115.7m from RM152.9m.
  • Upside ahead. We are revaluing LCT at RM7.72 per share based on our FY18F EPS of 64.3sen, pegged to a lower 12.0x P/E multiple (previously 13.0x) as we remove the slight premium to the Group’s Southeast Asian peer average of 12.2x. Our earnings estimates have been lowered between 1% to 3% for FY17F and FY18F respectively to account for the assumed borrowings and hence higher financing costs needed to fund the difference between the previous proceeds value of RM5.9bn and the current proceeds raised from the IPO.

Revised IPO Details

LCT is seeking a listing with an enlarged issued and paid-up share capital of 2,307,791,500 shares on Bursa Malaysia’s Main Market. Pursuant to the listing, the company’s market capitalization is RM15,000.6m based on its IPO price of RM6.50. The IPO allocation, post-IPO share capital of Lotte Chemical Titan and utilisation of IPO proceeds are shown in the following tables.

Lotte will drop after the buy back is exhausted.

shortinvestor77

Wait and see. MIB is acting to stabling its price. Hard to drop. It is a cash rich company. If it borrows loan in in future, its gearing still is low.
After all, it has 50% dividend policy. Either it is up or down all the way is subject to its quarterly results 1 and 2 now.

I told u 2 Big warnings signs from the beginning mah. It's "Undersubscribed" and "IPO price revision". If you cannot even understand both of these bad signs for an IPO then u better go to casino with better luck.

From undersubscribed to Maybank said to stabilizing price on listing day. Why the stupid salesman and others never learn to read the warning signs?
