Company Update July 18, 2014
L.P.N. Development
Buy (TP Bt23.40)
Take-up rate of new launches rose in 2Q14
Price Bt21.30
Political stability led to higher presales in 2Q14 compared to 1Q14. The strong presales also resulted in clearer revenue visibility, and we expect 2014E-15E transfers to be 90.7% and 82.6% secured by end-2Q14. 2Q14 earnings are expected to rise slightly as LPN’s finished products are selling well. We upgrade the rating from Sell to Buy with a new TP of Bt23.40 (10.0x 2015E PER). Political stability led to strong presales recovery The take-up rate of new launches shot up from 23.9% in 1Q14 to 45.8% in 2Q14 as the political situation has stabilized, resulting in 2Q14 presales of Bt6.9bn (+117.8% QoQ). The strongest performer was Lumpini Place Barommaratchachonnani (Bt1.7bn, 996 units), which was 100% sold within a month after its launch.

Relative to SET Share data
Highly secured revenue streams By the end of 2Q14, our 2014E transfers of Bt13.2bn (-4.7%) should be 90.7% secured by the backlog and 1H14 performance owing to the spike in 2Q14 presales. LPN also has around Bt16.0bn backlog waiting to be realized next year, securing 82.6% of 2015E transfers.

Earnings to rise slightly in 2Q14 We have 2Q14E earnings of Bt374m (-53.2% YoY, +6.7% QoQ) on the back of Bt2.6bn transfers (-37.2% YoY, +10.8% QoQ). Transfers are expected to have risen in 2Q14 despite no new completions because LPN’s completed inventories are selling relatively well.
52 week High / Low (Bt)
24.00/14.00
Upgrade to Buy as the TP is rolled over to 2015E Thanks to 2015E earnings growth of 60.2%, we change our rating on LPN from Sell to Buy as we roll over our TP to next year. The new TP of Bt23.40 is based on 10.0x PER (+0.25SD). After rising slightly in 2Q14, earnings are expected to take off in 2H14 on the back of concentrated transfers (1H14: 37.8% vs. 2H14: 62.2%) and lower launch-related expenses.
