MGM China The Chase For Yield; Initiate at BUY

Initiate at BUY; TP HKD27.40. MGM represents a solid yield play with 5% and 6% forward yields for FY13 and FY14 backed by solid cashflow. On top of decent yields, our TP implies 18% upside on a positive re-rating over the next few quarters as the Street has not fully priced in the Cotai project. As a single-casino operator, MGM is the second cheapest trading at 12.6x of FY14 EV/EBITDA vs. the sector’s 13x. However, it has the second highest daily win per mass market table that is 20% above the sector. Initiate with BUY and TP of HKD27.40, based on SOTP valuation, at 12x FY14F EV/EBITDA for MGM Macau while MGM Cotai is expected to be worth HKD5.1 per share or 19% of our NAV estimate, based on 20% ROIC and 9% WACC.

Generous dividends, solid cashflow. MGM paid out 95% of net profit in 2011 and 86% in 2012, compared to competitors such as Galaxy and Melco Crown that have yet to start paying dividends to shareholders. As at Jun 2013 it has net cash of about HKD2.5b. With HKD11.3b of credit line still undrawn, it remains well-funded for its Cotai investment.

Cotai to be a game changer. By mid-2016, its single-casino image will be history with MGM Cotai onboard. Furthermore, at these levels the upside from MGM Cotai has not been fully priced by the Street. The project will house 1,600 hotel rooms (+275%), 500 gaming tables (117%) and 2,500 slot machines (183%). The casino will also have an atrium thrice the size of Bellagio. Piling work is about 70% complete and MGM hopes to hand over the site to the contractors by year-end.

Market share firm under strong management. MGM’s market share inched up 0.9ppt YoY to 10% in 1H13 despite stiff competition from Cotai, bucking the decline seen by other peninsula operators. The opening of its new VIP gaming area on the second floor at the end of last year to meet rising junket demand led to a 10% increase in VIP rolling chip turnover YTD.

Investment thesis

Cotai a game changer to help shed single-casino image. MGM Cotai spans over 71.8k sq m, which is more than 50% the size of MGM China’s casino in Macau. The project, estimated to cost HKD20b (USD2.6b), will house 1,600 hotel rooms (+275%), 500 gaming tables (+117%) and 2,500 slot machines (183%). Piling work at the site, which is east of the Sands Cotai Central site, is about 70% complete and MGM aims to hand over to the contractors by year-end. It has appointed China State Construction to build the complex at a cost of USD1.35b. MGM Cotai will include a large-scale atrium, which is three times the size of Las Vegas’s Bellagio, as well as an ultra-luxury and exclusive hotel called the Mansion. We view the development as positive for MGM, as its growth would no longer be constrained by just a single casino on the peninsula. It would also be able to capture a slice of the Cotai gaming pie with 85% of the new casino’s gross area being devoted to mass market amenities.

Strong yield. MGM has a dividend policy of semi-annual distribution of 35% of anticipated annual profits. On top of this, the company will consider distributing a special dividend subject to its cash flow requirements. Given the parent company MGM Resorts International (MGM US, Not Rated) 51% ownership of MGM China, from a dividend perspective, its interest is aligned with that of minority shareholders. The company has been a generous dividend payer, paying out 95% and 86% of net profit in 2011 and 2012, respectively. We forecast a 90% payout ratio, translating to FY13 and FY14 yields of 5% and 6%. We expect MGM’s dividend to be sustainable, supported by strong net cash hoard of HKD2.5b (as at Jun 2013) and an HKD11.3b credit line which could tapped for its Cotai expansion plans.

EV/EBITDA second cheapest in sector. MGM has traded in a wide band between 6x and 13x consensus forward EV/EBITDA since its IPO. While MGM currently trades on the high range of its historical EV/EBITDA and largely in line with the sector’s average of 13x, it remains the second cheapest stock in the sector on an EV/EBITDA yardstick. Having displayed strong operational performance and consistent dividend yield the stock has since re-rated from its trough. Hurdles from further positive re-rating include : i) MGM operates a single casino property which lacks mass market amenities, ii) the location of property on the Macau peninsula means MGM lacks exposure to growth in Cotai, and iii) it had to pay a hefty sub-concession premium to SJM.

A highly efficient operator. Average daily win per mass table, a key metric indicating a casino’s efficiency, shows that MGM ranks the second in the industry despite being a single casino operator. With table supply scarce due to the cap imposed by the Macau government, we note that MGM’s mass market table is 20% higher than the sector average. We see this as a key strength of MGM, as it is identifying and attracting clientele who are generating greater turnover at each table compared to its competitors. Given that MGM have room to raise minimum table bets and that not all tables are operating at full capacity, we think there is still capacity for growth in raising its table’s efficiency.

Strong VIP networks, rolling chip up 10% YTD. MGM’s strength in the VIP segment lies in its strong relationship with junket operators and its direct VIP clientele. The company is now in cooperation with 14 junket operators and has been meticulously replacing the underperforming ones. It has successfully captured strong VIP demand (which beat consensus growth estimates) YTD, thanks to its newly expanded VIP gaming area on the second level of its casino floor. The VIP gaming floor was completed in Oct 2012 and has been well received by clients and junkets alike. In fact, MGM recorded a 10% increase in VIP rolling chip volume YTD August. This should help MGM offset short-term competition from Cotai, as VIP players still make up the majority of Macau’s GGR. MGM grew its GGR share despite increasing competition, and management is confident that its strategy of capturing premium customers will help it maintain its market share above 10%. Management has also consistently implemented strategies to maximise returns on its property and upgraded its facilities to appeal to customer tastes.

Securing the premium mass segment with exclusivity. Despite being a single casino operator, MGM has managed to capture an impressive share of the mass market. Its market share stood at 7.7% in 2Q13, up 0.6ppts YoY. It will be a challenge to maintain its share of the mass market given the lack of mass attractions, a small 1,593-sqm MICE floor area and a shift towards newly-opened Galaxy Macau and Sands Cotai Central. MGM has maintained its appeal by expanding its product offering through the opening of a new concept Chinese restaurant and constantly upgrading its mass market entertainment areas. Furthermore, MGM aims to retain its mass market base by targeting the premium mass segment through the Golden Lion Club, which segregates gamers into four different tiers, namely Supreme, Platinum, Elite and Gold members. Segmentation allows MGM to better manage its players by offering a more personalised service, thereby increasing customer loyalty. The Supreme Lounge offers a sense of private exclusivity for its premium mass customers. Targeted promotions to entice mass market patrons have been known to increase table drops. The company has also added 60 units of “Live Table Games” at its mass market floors.

Holding firm against competition. MGM China’s market share remained steady at 10% in 1H13, up 1ppt YoY from 9.0%, despite competition from newly opened large-scale integrated resorts at Cotai. In contrast, its counterparts on the peninsula such as Wynn Macau (1128 HK, SELL, TP HKD18.60) and SJM Holdings (880 HK, BUY, TP HKD26.30) saw their market share decline. In our view, MGM’s focus on organic growth and operational efficiency has helped it withstand the intense rivalry. Its VIP business has also been a key area of growth despite a slowdown in the segment, with market share for 2Q13 rising to 11.3% from 9.9% in 1Q13. In the mass market segment, MGM’s market share was stable with a 0.6ppt increase to 7.7% in 2Q13. The company’s operational performance has also been consistently ranked among the top in the sector, judging from its high average daily win per mass market table.

Constant appeal. Despite operating a single casino, management has striven to maximise returns on its gross floor area and upgrade its non-gaming facilities to capture appeal. Some of the well-received projects include the renovation of the mass gaming floor, opening of VIP Sky Casino and Supreme Lounge. The expansion of the second-floor VIP gaming area, which was completed in Oct 2012, has drawn droves of high rollers to its property. The company is also looking to refurbish its high-limit Las Vegas room at its mass market gaming floor beginning in 3Q13, for completion in 4Q13.

Riding on the MGM Hospitality’s luxury brand in China. MGM Hospitality’s (a subsidiary of MGM Resorts International) partnership with Diaoyutai, a renowned 300-year-old luxury hotel brand, to develop non-gaming luxury hotels with the MGM Resorts brand name, will help it reach out to the increasingly brand-conscious mainland consumers. The current brands under MGM Hospitality wing include Diaoyutai, Bellagio, MGM Grand and Skylofts. Latest projects include the completed MGM Grand Sanya and Diaoyutai Lama Temple. Other highly anticipated projects that will be rolled out in the next few years include the Bellagio in Shanghai and MGM Grand in Chengdu. We believe that the mainland clientele’s awareness of MGM Hospitality’s luxury brand will be positively influenced with a growing presence in China, which could consequently be beneficial to MGM China’s gaming properties in Macau (as direct casino advertising in China is not allowed).

Earnings forecasts

We forecast MGM’s EBITDA CAGR at 14.7% for the three years from FY13 to FY15, driven by organic growth and the completion of its second-floor VIP area as well as mass market floor enhancements. Our projections are in line with Bloomberg consensus estimates. We also expect EBITDA margins to remain stable at 25% with growth from the more profitable mass market segment offsetting the decline in earnings from the VIP segment. Management, too, has shown consistency in maintaining cost efficiency and profitability.

Net cash position. Cashflow has been strong, with MGM moving from a net gearing into a net cash position in 2011. We project that the company will remain in a net cash position in 2013; it had a robust net cash pile of about HKD2.5b as of Jun 2013. Its Cotai expansion project is well funded, with a remaining undrawn HKD11.3b credit line while the HKD4.3b term loan has been fully drawn down.

Downside risks to our forecast include: 1) a worsening of China’s macroeconomic conditions, resulting in a GGR slowdown; 2) a tighter credit environment; 3) loss of market share in the face of competition; 4) delays to the Cotai expansion project; and 5) other policy risks.

Financial assumptions

Fundamental to our estimates is the assumption that MGM’s gaming sub-concession licence will expire on 31 Mar 2020 as scheduled. Future licence extension will be subjected to the Macau government’s approval, though it is reasonable to assume that it will be extended given the investments in Cotai that will only be completed by mid-2016. We also assume that contributions from MGM Cotai will commence upon its completion in mid-2016. MGM’s share of Macau’s GGR stood at 10.3% in FY11 and 9.5% in FY12. Our forecast for MGM’s market share stands at 9.5% for FY13 and 9.0% for FY14.

VIP turnover growth. We forecast annual VIP rolling chip turnover growth of 5% in both FY13 and FY14; in-line with our sector growth estimates. We assume a theoretical win rate of 2.85% (historical average 2008-12: 2.9%) to derive our VIP gross gaming revenue.

Mass market turnover growth. We forecast a YoY growth rate of 25% for MGM’s mass market drop in both FY13 and FY14. This compares with our forecast industry mass market GGR growth rate of 25% and 30% YoY for FY13 and FY14 respectively. We assume a theoretical win rate of 32% (historical average 2008-12: 24.3%; FY12: 29.9%) to derive our mass market gross gaming revenue, we note an increase trend in win rates due to premium customers buying chips directly from the cage rather than from tables.

Slot machine handle growth. For FY13 and FY14, we assume slot handle growth of 10% YoY. We also assume an average slot machine win rate of 6% (historical average 2008-12: 6.0%).

Junket commission rates. Going forward, we assume an average junket commission rate of 1.25% of VIP turnover or 44% of net wins. Between casino properties, average junket rates ranged from 40% to 47% of net wins.

Tax rates. MGM’s gaming tax is set at 39% of GGR (35% gaming tax, 1.6% contribution to a Macau public foundation and 2.4% to the Macau government) for the entire duration of its gaming concession. MGM is exempted from paying a complementary tax set at 12% of gaming pretax profit for five years until 2016, an exemption that could be granted an extension.

Dividends. The company has a dividend policy of semi-annual distribution of 35% of anticipated annual profits. A special dividend will depend on profitability and investment capital expenditure. We forecast an 90% payout ratio, translating to FY13 and FY14 yields of 5% and 6% respectively. Every 10% reduction in dividend payout ratio would lead to an approximate 0.6ppts decline in yield. MGM has declared the payment of HKD0.23 per share representing approximately 35% of profit before tax for the six months ended 30 Jun 13.

Valuation and recommendations

MGM Macau 12x of FY14 EV/EBITDA. We use the sum-of-the-parts valuation methodology to value MGM’s core business segments. We value individual segments using EV/EBITDA, a common valuation yardstick for industries characterised by continual and heavy capital expenditure as the gaming industry in Macau is during its growth stage. We value MGM Macau at 12x EV/EBITDA, taking into account its strong market position in Macau, good management track record, superior performance despite having just one casino and its strong dividend payout.

MGM Cotai worth HKD5.1 per share. The capital expenditure for MGM’s Cotai project is estimated at HKD20b. Assuming an ROIC of 20%, discount rate of 9% and terminal growth rate of 2%, we estimate the project will add HKD5.1 per share to MGM or 19% of our NAV estimate. We believe the completion of its Cotai project will give MGM the much-desired Cotai exposure it needs and allow it to shed its single-casino image. We initiate coverage on MGM with a BUY recommendation and TP of HKD27.40.

Appendix

Company background. MGM, located on the Macau peninsula, was completed on 18 Dec 2007 at a cost of USD1.25b. The casino operates under the sub-concession from SJM, purchased for a consideration of USD200m by MGM Resorts International (MGM US, Not Rated) and Ms Pansy Ho, daughter of Mr Stanley Ho. MGM operates a single five-star integrated casino and luxury hotel resort in Macau with over 1,367 slot machines, 427 gaming tables and 582 hotel rooms, spanning approximately 25,677sqm in area.

MGM China benefits from the synergistic partnership between MGM Resorts and Ms Ho. MGM Resorts is one of the leading gaming and hospitality companies in the world, operating a premium portfolio of integrated resorts, including Aria at CityCenter, Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay and The Mirage, along with several other casino and resort properties in the United States. MGM Resorts has licensed its international trademark rights for use in the Greater China Region, and will provide development services for new properties.

MGM differentiates itself by leveraging on its luxury brand name and focuses on providing a unique and exclusive gaming experience for its VIP clients, while at the same time maintaining a diversified base of mass market patrons.
