Buy (TP Bt11.30)
Strong GPM leads to earnings upgrade
Price Bt10.60
Due to LH's strong pricing power and only mild competition so far, LH was able to raise the selling prices of low-rise properties, resulting in a 6M14 residential GPM of 36.1%, up from 35.5% in 6M13. We also raise the GPM in our forecasts, resulting in around 4-5% increases in 14E-16E earnings. The overwhelming response at 333 Riverside led LH to raise the selling prices and the project value from Bt6.5bn to Bt7.0bn. Maintain Buy with the 2015E TP of 11.30 (18.0x PER), which includes full dilution of LH-W3. Improved GPM thanks to strong pricing power The residential GPM rose from 35.5% in 6M13 to 36.1% in 6M14 mainly due to an increase in the GPM of low-rise properties. The low-rise GPM increased from 36.0% to 37.7% as LH was able to raise its selling prices faster than the increase in the costs of construction (around 4%) thanks to low competition in the low-rise segment. Raise GPM, cut SG&A in 2014-16 forecasts We raise the residential GPM in 14E-16E by around 1.0 ppt. Also, the SG&A-to-revenue ratios are cut by 0.3-0.4 ppt in each year of our forecasts. As a result, our earnings forecasts are raised by 4.9%, 4.3% and 4.2% in the respective years. 2014E SG&A to revenue now stands at 13.6% (vs. 6M14: 13.2%).

Raises selling prices at 333 Riverside LH pre-sold 333 Riverside for a day in June 14 to existing customers. The response was overwhelming as the project was 30.0% sold (Bt2.0bn) within one day, meeting the company's target for the full year. LH then raised the project value from Bt6.5bn and Bt7.0bn, and the project is now 60.0% sold. The average selling price per sqm is now Bt140k, up from Bt120k.

Maintain Buy with 2015E TP of Bt11.30 (18.0x PER) We maintain Buy on LH with the new TP of Bt11.30, up from Bt10.80 as we raise our earnings forecasts; the TP takes into account full dilution of LH-W3. The potential upside to 14E-15E earnings is the sale of Terminal 21 (shopping mall), 60% held by LH, to REIT. The selling price should be around Bt6.0bn (GPM = 50%), and LH should hold around 15% of the fund, implying aftertax gain of Bt2.0bn.
