JT International - Time for a smoke break
JTI’s 1QFY14 net profit came in within our (32.7% of our full-year forecast) and consensus estimates (32.3%). We deem this to be in line as 1Q is seasonally strong. Despite the weaker sales volumes, 1QFY14 revenue grew by 11.6% yoy and net profit by 3.2% yoy, driven by higher selling prices which offset the higher operating cost.

Bonia Corporation - Growth story continues
Bonia’s 9MFY14 net profit was in line with expectations, accounting for 75% of our and 72% of consensus full-year forecasts. Better sales from Jeco, and growth in Indonesia and Vietnam contributed positively to overall group earnings.

The US Federal Reserve must be patient before it considers raising interest rates even after the central bank winds down its bond-buying program and as the recovery picks up steam, Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart said.
He said he is sticking to his 3% growth forecast for the remainder of the year despite a weak first quarter that he ascribed primarily to weather, but added that there were remaining signs of weakness in both the labor market and inflation. (WSJ)

The European Central Bank warned that the main risk for European financial markets is a reversal in potentially "fickle" capital inflows into the euro zone, according to its twice-yearly Financial Stability Review.
"As the search for yield has intensified, so have concerns regarding the buildup of imbalances and the possibility of a sharp and disorderly unwinding of recent investment flows," the ECB said. (WSJ)

Malaysian Economic News…
The implementation of the goods and services tax (GST) will increase the country's economic competitiveness with additional export revenue.
According to a study undertaken by the Royal Malaysian Customs Department, its Director of Internal Tax, Subromaniam Tholasy, said the GST implementation was expected to increase export revenue by 0.5% in the first year of implementation.
He said the export market would be more competitive with the implementation of the new tax as exporters would get rebates on taxes paid on exports.
"That's why in GST, every tax included in the export price could be identified and would be refunded to exporters," he said.
Asked on the reduction in prices with the GST implementation, he said, "It depends on the type of goods and margin of the products. If the margin is not much, then the percentage can be quite significant. "There will be reduction but there will not be much," he said. (Bernama)

The list of goods affected by the Goods and Services Tax (GST) will be released early next year, said the Customs and Excise Department's GST unit director, Subromaniam Tholasy.
He said the department would work with the domestic trade, cooperatives and consumerism ministry which intended to issue the list, three months before and three months after the GST was implemented.
"Called the 'Shopper's Guide', the list will make it easier for consumers to work out the difference in prices. "If it is released too early, it is feared that there may be changes to the basic cost of goods, such as the cost of production, which may change in the next five or six months," he said. He said the list of goods would cover items which were popular among consumers. (Bernama)
Sabah targets 1,200 ha of new cocoa plantation area this year as an addition to the existing 5,050 ha of cocoa plantation area in the state. Malaysian Cocoa Board chairman, Datuk Dr Marcus Mojigoh said some 500 ha of the new plantation areas would be in Ranau with an allocation of RM4m in the form of incentives to cocoa farmers.
"The gross income estimation from the 81 metric tonnes of cocoa beans is between RM600,000 to RM700,000," he said.
To ensure the success of the new plantation plan, the government has allocated incentives to farmers interested to plant cocoa amounting to RM8,000 in the form of cocoa seedlings, fertilizers and agricultural inputs such as diseases and pests control. The incentives also included cocoa plantation courses and plantation clearing incentives of RM1,000, he said. (Bernama)
Macro-economic concerns and the expected interest rate increase topped the list of risks among bankers in Malaysia, according to the Malaysian cut of the Banking Banana Skins 2014 survey. According to the survey, Malaysia isn't too different compared to Asia-Pacific territories such as China, Singapore, the Philippines and Australia when it came to the dominant concerns. PwC Malaysia Assurance Partner, Ong Ching Chuan, said traditionally, Malaysian bankers had always been cautious about the risk outlook of the industry, which explained the relatively high level of anxiety among Malaysian banks to other countries globally. PwC Malaysia Executive Director, Foong Mei Lin, said banks were stepping up their efforts on risk management and governance, as well as investing in talent. (Bernama)
Moody's Investors Service says the outlook on the Malaysian banking system remains stable. This reflects Moody's expectation of a stable operating environment that will allow banks to maintain resilient asset quality, as well as strong capitalisation levels and funding profiles.
The rating agency expects the measures taken by the Malaysian government to implement fiscal reform and consolidation to moderate somewhat the pace of economic growth over the outlook horizon.
It also expects that inflation will accelerate mildly, as subsidies on fuel, electricity and sugar are phased out.
Moody's said its central forecast for real gross domestic product (GDP) growth in 2014 is 5%, as domestic consumption and investment remains steady and exports rise in line with the ongoing recovery of the advanced economies.
"In this context, the relatively high rate of economic growth will support the banks' asset quality as well as credit growth, which we expect to be slightly lower than the 11% recorded in 2013," Moody's said.

It expects interest rates to increase only modestly and gradually over the horizon of its outlook.
The senior unsecured debt and deposit ratings of the banks receive one notch of uplift on average, because of Moody's assumption of strong government support. (Bernama)
The big challenge facing the public sector is to raise the confidence of the public and investors on the government's ability to translate the policies and strategies into results. Sabah Assistant Minister of Resource Development and Information Technology Datuk Hamisa Samat said efforts to improve the delivery system must be accompanied by higher integrity to satisfy the people's demand for a more transparent and efficient civil service. "The public sector needs to embrace good governance based on transparency, integrity and good character without compromising corruption and abuse," she said. (Bernama)
The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) is tapping into the US$500bn (RM1.6tr) outbound investment from China. Its national council member Michael Chai said the organization was targeting at least 10% of the investment. “We hope to get US$100bn over a period of three years”. He added that China corporations in Malaysia were currently focusing on several industries like mining, manufacturing, rubber, timber and car assembly. Among potential fields are modern agriculture, farming machinery, renewable energy, low carbon technology, green property, biotechnology, medical research, vocational education and the halal industry.

Sime Darby Bhd is disposing of 110m shares, or a 9.9% stake, in Eastern & Oriental Bhd (E&O) to Morning Crest Sdn Bhd (MCSB) for RM319m cash, or RM2.90 per E&O share. "Sime Darby will make a return on investment of approximately 28% on its average cost of investment, and a profit of RM56m in the three years since its initial acquisition," it said in a statement yesterday. Sime said its stake in E&O, also a developer, will be reduced to about 22% after the disposal. MCSB is an investment holding company set up on April 25, 2014, and substantially owned by Datuk Terry Tham Ka Hon, who is also the managing director of E&O. "The proposed disposal will further align the

interests of Tham and key senior personnel with that of E&O," it said. (Malaysian Insider)
The repurchase by Datuk Terry Tham comes as a positive surprise as he had sold part of his stake three years back to Sime Darby at RM2.30/share. The acquisition at a 22% premium to the last closing price shows confidence on the part of management and Datuk Terry Tham that there is further hidden value in the stock that has yet to be unlocked. We are surprised by Sime's move to dispose part of its stake in E&O, which will allow the group to book a gain of RM56m. The one-off gain from the sale will boost Sime's FY14 net profit by 1.8%. Following this, we believe the likelihood of Sime undertaking a GO for the remaining shares of E&O will be lower.
Sime Darby's unit has been asked to Pay AED41m (or RM36m) to Emirates Intl Energy by the Court of First Instance. Sime intends to appeal against court judgement. (Bursa, Bloomberg)
This is negative and could cut our FY14 earnings forecast by RM36m or 1.2% should the group provide for this potential liability.
Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) and Daihatsu Motor Company of Japan are investing RM600m to set up a new engine manufacturing plant in Sendayan, Negeri Sembilan. Construction of the plant is expected to begin in September this year. Daihatsu holds a 51% stake in the new engine manufacturing company and Perodua the remaining 49%, with a paid-up capital of RM165m. The new facility, which will employ an initial 150 workers, will have plant of 19,000 sqm and a production capacity of 140,000 units a year. Its core businesses include the manufacturing and sale of automotive engines as well as the development, design, manufacturing of engine parts and equipment. (BT)
We are positive on this news, with this new engine manufacturing plant coming in the heels of the completion of Perodua's new plant in Rawang that is set to commence production in 2HCY14. The new engine plant enhances our conviction that Daihatsu is going to work with Perodua in making Malaysia its base for ASEAN expansion.
Sime Darby expects demand for certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) to grow by at least 25% as the European Union’s food labelling rule approaches its 2015 deadline. Second senior vice-president and head, Global Trading and Marketing, Jasni Ahmad said the rule requires food manufacturers to specify the vegetable oil used in their food products. “This gives a competitive advantage to CSPO as it has certified good agricultural practices with social responsibility and environmental engagement, and can somewhat brush off the negative campaign against palm oil,” he added. He said demand for CSPO was currently driven by Europe, but only for palm stearin, the solid fraction of palm oil that is widely used in food products, and as such it was a challenge to find a market for palm olein. Palm stearin represents only 20% of the palm oil volume, while the remaining 80% is palm olein, the liquid form. (Sun)

Football fans planning to watch live telecasts of all 64 matches of the Fifa World Cup finals in Brazil next month will have no choice but to subscribe to pay TV operator Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd, as Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) has disclosed that it will not be bringing the "Greatest Show on Earth" to Malaysian homes, just a month after Media Prima Bhd said it will not be screening any matches.
TM has been breaking the news in recent weeks in a letter to Sports Pack subscribers of its internet protocol television (IPTV) service HyppTV that it will not telecast even a single World Cup finals match. "We wish to inform that TM has not been awarded the broadcasting rights for the ongoing World Cup 2014," it said in the letter.
The decision has not gone down well with TM's HyppTV subscribers with many of them expressing their dissatisfaction on its official Facebook page. Many asked why none of the matches will be shown over the free-to-air channels on Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM), RTM 1 and RTM 2 which are available on HyppTV. RTM, the nation's public broadcaster, has been given exclusive terrestrial broadcasting rights to this year's World Cup. RTM will be broadcasting 35 of the 64 matches which includes live telecasts and 11 delayed telecasts, in High Definition (HD).
In its response in the social media site, TM said: "The exclusivity of World Cup 2014 matches broadcast rights also includes the free-to-air channels. Hence, we are unable to broadcast all World Cup 2014 matches which will be broadcasted/are being broadcasted on RTM 1 and RTM 2 channels via our HyppTV Platform." (The Sun)
Recent heavy rain has failed to raise the water level to an optimum level of 55% at the Sungai Selangor Dam and the anticipated El Nino phenomenon next month could lead to rationing for millions in the Klang Valley. S. Piarapakaran, president of the Association of Water Energy Research, said the south-west monsoon season, forecast to last until September, and the El Nino phenomenon could reduce water levels.
“The worry is that the El Nino will affect the rainfall pattern during the south-west monsoon and inter-monsoon period. Less rainfall means less water in the rivers and dams and more peat fires,” he said.
According to the Selangor Water Management Authority website, the water level at the dam stood at 42.53%. “Based on what happened early this year, the possibility of water rationing is still there,” he said.
The Meteorological Department said the El Nino weather pattern would not effect the peninsula adversely but could cause a dry spell in Sabah and Sarawak. (Star)
