Earnings Call: H2 2016
Mar 28, 2017
Good day, everyone, and thank you for joining us today for First Pacific 2016 full year financial and operating results. The results presentation is available on the First Pacific website, www.firstpacific.com. For media on this call, please note the Q&A session is open for investors and analysts only. If you would like to raise questions, please contact us when the call finishes. For today's conference call, we have with us Mr. Manuel Pangilinan, our Managing Director and CEO, Mr. Edward A. Tortorici and Mr. Robert C. Nicholson, Executive Directors, Mr. Chris H. Young, our CFO, and other senior executives. At this point, I would like to turn to Mr. John W. Ryan, Head of Investor Relations from Corporate Communications, for his presentation. John, please.
Thank you all for joining the call. I will be going through the presentation we uploaded to our website a couple of hours ago. We have a much larger, fuller document that we use for sit-down meetings with investors. If you'd like a copy of an updated full-year version of that book, please drop us a note. There's an address at the back of the presentation that I'm beginning now. On page 2, the main takeaway from the important notice is dollar figures in this book are USD unless otherwise indicated, and there's a general health warning there on that page. On page 3, there are photographs of most of the people who are around the table with me today, led, of course, by our three Executive Directors, as described by Sara Cheung. Page 4 has got the structure of the First Pacific group of companies.
The only significant change that you saw in 2016 was an increase in Metro Pacific's ownership of Beacon Electric and the investment in Global Business Power, and the introduction of a new core shareholder in Metro Pacific. All of that happened at the end of May. Turning to page 5, we've got a snapshot of our gross asset value as of the end of January. As you can see, our food businesses are now the biggest part of the whole group. They are 43% of the total, followed by infrastructure, which is MPIC and PacificLight Power at 29%. Telecommunications represented by PLDT at 22%, and then natural resources, which is mostly our copper and gold mining company, Philex, at 7%. Our investment objectives and criteria for investment have not changed over the years. The goal is to unlock value and deliver it to our shareholders over time.
Criteria are geography, sectors, market position, potential for cash flows, and allowing us, of course, management control or strong influence. The wider group, as portrayed on page 6, was worth just over $35 billion at the end of January, with a not too dissimilar share in the proportions of the four sectors between them all. Consumer foods at 39% as opposed to 42%, and so on. There's some bullet points here to the right of this pie chart, which are a little bit new for our presentation. They're listing some of the descriptive aspects of the wider group, which show you how much First Pacific, with a market cap under $3 billion, controls all these companies with their very large turnover and EBITDA profit and borrowings and so on. Fuller data is at the back of this book.
Now, let's go down to performance during the 366 days of 2016. As you can see on page 7, contribution dipped a bit from $427 million to $400 million. The decline, I think, as well telegraphed by PLDT during the course of the year, was mostly in telecommunications, very slightly in infrastructure with a small negative contribution from our power plant in Singapore, and a lower share of MPIC's contribution following the dilution from 52% economic interest to 42% in our ownership of MPIC at the end of May. So that resulted in a reduction in the contribution from MPIC to First Pacific. Food consumer showed strong growth, with Indofood seeing many of its products deliver record sales volumes, and Goodman Fielder, our most recent large acquisition, delivering very strong growth in 2016 over 2015.
2016, let us note, was our first full year of joint ownership of that company with Wilmar International, who are based in Singapore. Lastly, natural resources showed a slight increase in their contribution owing largely to better metal prices, and I believe we've seen that continue into the new year of 2017. That chart on the left shows the changes in contribution, and on the right, for the first time, we're showing you a chart showing the proportion of contribution delivered by each of our main businesses. Your big takeaway is that natural resources delivered in 2016 rather less than their share of our gross asset value. Turning to page 8, we can have a look at our cash flow during the course of 2016. We began the year with a bit over $100 million and ended with just under $240 million.
We may discuss on this call a bond tender conducted by our treasury department, led by Joseph Ng, to my right, that took place in January, which has changed what our balance sheet looks like from December 31 to January. It's a little bit confusing, and I hope we've managed to portray that data in this presentation in a way that's clear to you. If not, let us know. The main items of cash flow were the sale of MPIC shares at the end of May, and of course, our dividend and fee income of about $200 million. We've paid an interest bill, I believe of Is that right, $91.7 million, Joseph?
That's right, yes.
Sorry, you're not looking there. To the right of this cash flow chart, we have got our source of dividend chart. As you can see, despite its travails, PLDT in 2016, nevertheless was still the largest contributor of dividend flows for First Pacific. If you look at page 9, there's a look at our debt profile and some end-year data on our balance sheet. The key takeaway here for you is looking at the chart on the bottom left. We have got the wherewithal in hand to pay off the maturing bond that ends in July. As you can see in the table there, it's our most expensive borrowing with a 7.375% coupon.
When that is paid off and replaced by a mixture of cash and bank debt, we will see our interest bill go down quite significantly, which is a very strong goal to reach as we await growth in our dividend income over the next year or two. Let's have a look at some of the operating companies. Page 10 shows a very big column chart showing the change in service revenues at PLDT during 2016. The biggest telecommunications company in the Philippines. As you can see on this chart, we've got wireless revenues on the left, fixed line on the right, and the wireless business is continuing its transformation from traditional voice and text, which are both strongly down, to the more modern data services like over-the-top texting services like WhatsApp and Viber and so on.
We've still got stronger declines in those traditional revenue sources than we see in the wireless data increase, which has increased quite a bit. If we look to the right-hand side of that chart, we can see that the growth in the fixed line business is maybe a year or two ahead of the wireless business. That is to say, the fixed line business is further along in the transformation from traditional sources of service revenues to the lower margin, but more CapEx-intensive data services. Speaking of CapEx, we expect it to remain high again in 2017 as we push out LTE provision to 70% of the population by year-end and get our network ready for 5G services, perhaps as early as the year 2020. We expect EBITDA to rise in 2017 from 2016, and we expect core income to be up from last year as well.
If we look at page 11, there's a multi-year illustration of the evolution of service revenues, the growing, the maturing, and the shrinking. Five years ago in 2012, the shrinking share of the service revenues was high-ish at 17%. They're now down to 12%, and the growing share, which is really the data services, has grown enormously from just under a fifth of the total to rather more than double that size at 39%. We expect this transformation to continue as the wireless transformation pushes ahead to catch up with where the fixed line business has been already for a year or two. Turning to Metro Pacific Investments Corporation, the biggest infrastructure holding company in the Philippines. All of its businesses saw very good growth in 2016. Double-digit growth in people using the toll roads, very strong growth in consumption of electricity.
Likewise, with water, there was good growth in water consumption and non-revenue water were pushed down quite a bit as well. The hospitals business grew with organic growth and some acquisitions. We now own or manage 13 hospitals across the country and one mall-based diagnostic center. Our rail business is ahead of schedule in delivering strong contributions to Metro Pacific head office, and we are quite pleased with how that is developing so far. If you look on the next page, which is page 13, you can see that MPIC has seen a strong growth in its contribution and its core income, rising to a record high 12.1 billion pesos in 2016. We expect to see continuing strong organic growth, lifting their core income to 13 billion pesos in the course of 2017.
A very large question mark remaining over Metro Pacific, of course, is resolution of its various disputes with regulators over mandated tariffs, which have, for one reason or another, not been permitted by regulators to be introduced. Most famously in the water business, where we have been waiting for resolution of a tariff dispute stemming from 2013. Final decision on that could come as early as May, but we have been waiting a very long time there. Let us turn to page 14 and Indonesia's biggest food company, which saw very, very strong growth in its sales and even stronger growth in its core profit as its margins improved quite a bit. All of its main businesses saw strong sales growth, led by consumer branded products.
The only business not to show strong growth was Bogasari, the flour business, which follows very much a cost-plus model, so that when the price of wheat or flour goes down, then its sales will go down. The outlook for Indofood today is what it was a year ago. Continuing steady economic growth results in increasing consumer spending power, which results in people buying more and higher margin food products from Indofood and other food companies in that country. So over the medium term, people will continue to spend more money on Indofood products. It is as simple as that. If you want to invest in that space in Indonesia, you need to take a quite close look at Indofood. At page 15, there is some illustration here of the improvement in margins.
I draw your attention to the agribusiness, which is very cyclical, and as you can see, higher palm oil prices helped push up margins in that business. The consumer branded products business, very competitive, nevertheless, managed to see a 2 percentage point increase in margins, and that helped pull the entire business up from an 11.5% EBIT margin to 12.4%. The pie chart on the right reminds us of the dominance of the packaged food business in the sales of Indofood consumer-branded products delivering about half of sales in 2015. Goodman Fielder, as I said earlier, our newest acquisition, saw a surge in its normalized profit of 22% in 2016.
If you look at the two pie charts on the right-hand side, you can see that a key part of that growth was very strong margins, particularly in the international business, which delivered 31% of its EBIT after selling only 20% of its revenues. You can see the cause of that is it has got the highest EBIT margin in the company at 15%. I will not say much more there now because we have got Stanley Yang, who is closely following that business, to my left, and he can tell you more detail about Goodman Fielder in the Q&A. A brief word about Philex now before we wind up with our conclusion. Essentially, Philex saw stronger prices for gold and copper, stronger earnings.
If you look at the column and line charts on the right-hand side, you can see that the average realized price is visible there in the line, and cost per pound and cost per ounce were fairly flat. As you can see, there is a very wide column chart on the bottom left showing you that the cash cost per troy ounce was little changed notwithstanding a steep fall in the cost of power. Now, just a few words in conclusion before we go to the Q&A. We believe here in Hong Kong that the First Pacific Company combines access to a very strong portfolio of businesses in emerging Asia with the security of Hong Kong's legal system based on the British system, our listing rules, and it is all denominated in a currency which has been pegged to the U.S. dollar since October 1984.
We have been around for nearly four decades. Over that time, we have delivered robust returns to our shareholders, and we have got experience that is hard to match. We are remaining with the focus on seeking returns in emerging Asia within our chosen four areas of the economy. We are looking to see stronger growth in upturns and defensive returns in downturns because we provide services and products that people need to have whatever the economic circumstances are. The goal is to deliver stable and strong returns over the long term. Given the performance in 2016 and what we are seeing in the beginning months of 2017, we feel that our investments are well-positioned for growth in 2017 and going forward, and that will result in growth for First Pacific's contribution and earnings as well.
For these reasons, we do regard at management that the NAV discount is at an unjustifiably high level, and when our prospects begin to be understood by the market, that perhaps will improve the NAV discount with an increase in our share price. Now, management is identifying assets which are not meeting our return targets. We are identifying them for possible disposal. Proceeds raised from any disposal would be focused on share repurchases and debt reduction to signal our confidence in the prospects of the First Pacific group of companies going forward. That ends the introductory remarks. There are some tables and illustrations further in this book for you to refer to during the Q&A. Thank you, Sara.
Thanks, John. Operator, we are now ready for questions.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, if you would like to ask a question, please signal by pressing star one on your telephone keypad.
If you are using a speakerphone, please make sure your mute function is turned off to allow your signal to reach our equipment. Again, press star one to ask a question. We will pause for just a moment to allow everyone an opportunity to signal for questions. We will now take our first question from Andy Dalrymple from Value Square. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
Yeah. Good afternoon, everybody.
Hi, Andy. Thanks for being here.
You were speaking about the unjustified- Hi, John. You were speaking about the unjustified discount to your NAV. I was just wondering what would you regard as a normal level of discount, and also, if you would like to buy your own shares, up to what level of share price would you like to do it? Could you comment a bit on those questions, please?
Yeah. Sure, Andy. I will comment on what this normal level of NAV discount might possibly be, and then I will turn it to our CFO to discuss the answer to that rather more difficult question. Historically, since the turn of the century, our NAV discount has averaged over the past 17 years, about 43% or 44%. When we had all of our investments performing very well four years ago in 2013, our discount at the end of that year, I believe, if you look at our accounts, was 29%. So honestly, I think those are the bottom and top end of the range that we would be rather more comfortable the NAV discount was at than we are today, where it can very occasionally pop up to 50%.
We look at the returns we are expecting and the earnings growth we are looking forward to, and we regard that level as a bit unjustified. To what price level might we buy back shares is a rather theoretical question until such cash is raised, but CFO Chris Young might have another way of rephrasing what I have just said.
No, not really. I think if the share buyback is undertaken, obviously we would look at it relative to the discount as it currently exists and relative to the discount which we've seen historically. I think for it to be effective, it has to be over a reasonable period of time and for a reasonable volume of shares. As indicated by John in the presentation, I think it would key off an asset disposal of part of one of the companies in the group. It wouldn't be something that we would look to do by adding additional debt. I think that's broadly the parameters which we would look to do the share buyback.
When we've bought shares in the past, we've looked to buy shares when we've seen weakness in the share price because that's represented the best value. We've tried to look upon share repurchases in the same way that we would look upon any investment. Looking for the best value for the company, stepping in from time to time when we see opportunities.
Can I just ask as a follow-up, what is your priority? Is it debt reduction or is it share buyback program?
Well, given that we are in funds to reduce our debt by somewhere between $180 million and $190 million, probably the next priority would be some share repurchase. I wouldn't want to rule out a further debt reduction. That's certainly something we're looking to achieve. We're already on track for reducing debt somewhere in the region of $180 million to $190 million.
Andy, just for historical background. When last time we had a share repurchase program with a defined budget, it was over the course of 24 months, and it was $130 million. Depending on what sort of funds raised, that might give you an idea of where we have been before with share repurchases.
Do you have a target in terms of net debt to your total valuation? It is now around 26%. Do you have an internal target on debt?
We look most closely at our interest bill.
It's-
Joseph will speak.
It is Joseph here. In terms of ratios or debt ratio, you have a look on the gross asset value that I think we put in the booklet. Gross asset value, meaning the value of asset that we hold as a holding company is close to $7.5 billion and thereabout. The gross that we have is roughly $1.7 billion, so it is roughly 20% of that. So it is fairly low in terms of debt cover or what you call market value gearing ratio. The focus is actually more on the debt servicing the interest bill payment. I think when we actually went out to the market and raised some bonds back in 2010, 2011, we basically have a ratio of roughly 3 to 1 and dividend income versus the interest bill. Of course, we would like to get back to that ratio.
But the number of things, one is dividend is down because of performance per unit, the foreign exchange impact, and also the increase in interest expenses. Again, we want to get back to that level at some point. Currently, I think at the end of 2016, we are about 2 times. So we need to get up to that level at some point. Now of course, not in one single year, but gradually over time when we get proceeds from the asset disposal, allocating the money for buyback as well as for some debt reduction. So, we look forward to achieving to that level in a few years' time.
Okay. Thank you. Can I have just one more final question? It is on your ESG policy. How important is it for you, and are you taking steps to increase your score on the several sustainability indexes? What are you doing there?
Andy, that is a very timely question because at the board meeting there was some significant discussion about ESG and the steps we are doing to improve our scores from such advisory outfits as ISS and Sustainalytics. We are actually taking a very proactive approach towards that. But you must bear in mind that we are engaged in some industries which we are likely to remain in the years ahead, and I am thinking of the palm oil plantation business. Thankfully, the Chief Executive of IndoAgri is committed to making ESG a plus for IndoAgri within its industry and compared to IndoAgri's peers. With him holding that perspective, that gives us at head office in Hong Kong the possibility of trying to work towards some kind of similar ambition ourselves. We will, in short, be working very hard in the months ahead to improve our scores.
I think it's worth mentioning that under the Hong Kong listing rules, we are required to produce a full ESG report this year for the first time, and we've been working with our operating units and with outside consultants to ensure that we are able to produce a very good and a reasonably complete ESG report, which we'll circulate over the next two or three months as a separate document from our annual report and accounts. As a formal matter, we are fully engaged to produce a full ESG report in compliance with the local rules, and one which will draw upon the tremendous amount of work that's been done at the operating unit level, particularly at IndoAgri, where they have the plantation holdings, but also at Philex, where we've got the mines.
Now on top of that, we've also initiated a program of addressing some of the proxy advisor requirements, and we'll be looking at what we can do to improve our scores under the various proxy advisor checklists. There are some constraints imposed on us as a Hong Kong company. There are certain structural elements that we have in common with many other companies in Hong Kong, perhaps the majority of other companies in Hong Kong, which will limit what we can do. But within the parameters of what's possible, we intend to work hard to improve our scores on that front as well.
All right, thanks.
Ladies and gentlemen, as a reminder, if you would like to ask a question at this time, please press star one on your telephone keypad. We will now take our next question from Jeremy Yao. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
Hi. Good evening, everybody. Can I just ask a little bit about, I've noticed that you had done an impairment charge on the PLP, PacificLight Power assets. Can I ask if this was the result of just regular auditors tests for impairment or is this something that you initiated yourself?
I think it's initiated by management and concurred with the auditors.
Okay.
2016 was a bit of a challenging year for PLP, and I think on the basis of how it performed relative to the expectation last year, we felt it was necessary to take a look at it. And that, I guess, tempered a little bit also the outlook for 2017 and 2018. Basically, management took a look at it and it was concurred by the auditors. Now, having said that, actually, it's still challenging, I think, in the Singapore power market and power generation market, but it is looking a little bit brighter than it was 12 months ago. The fuel price has picked up quite a bit, and also given our fuel stock is LNG, given the rise in the price of oil relative to where it was 12 months ago, it makes us a bit more competitive in the market.
I guess that's where we are now with PLP and the background to the impairment.
Okay. Then also just to circle back to your comments about being open to reviewing your assets and selling it in order to fund a share buyback program. I would like to understand a little bit about your selection criteria. Is it going to be purely financial based on some kind of NAV type of forecast? Or are you also open to selling things that are pretty good right now, but you feel is perhaps a little bit over your fair value right now?
Jeremy, we will not be retreating from any of those four sectors that we are in currently.
Okay. Got it.
Yeah. Financial criteria will, I think, be a fairly important factor.
Okay. My final two questions are on Goodman Fielder. Can you disclose what GFF's international business sales was on a currency neutral basis?
When it comes to the international sales in 2016, there are a couple aspects that need to be examined. One is within international, there are various markets. One is Papua New Guinea, which historically has delivered strong profits on the base of very dominant positions in flour and snacks. Fiji is another key market in the international segment, which historically has also been led by a very strong portfolio, which is slightly different in poultry, as well as ice creams and snacks. Looking at the performance last year, all of the markets, with the exception of PNG, were up in terms of their sales performance. In Papua, though, the market hit some challenges.
One was the economic conditions for one, on the basis that in the past, a lot of the natural resources and LNG investments in the market had really pushed GDP and growth in the overall economy. That definitely slowed and continued. Even though it's still growing, it's a much reduced level. When it came to the flour market, a few challenges in terms of increase in market competition, as well as some of the operating challenges of Goodman Fielder. Some of the plants are older. Some of these issues have had to be addressed. Even though there's an element of some of these challenges carrying into the first couple of months of 2017, we do think that the base problems that the business encountered will improve.
The PNG was down for the year in terms of the sales, but in terms of the rest of the portfolio, it's up. In PNG, it wasn't just the business of the flour in the market, but it was also the kina itself, which, if you look at where the currency is, it did depreciate over the course of last year. Given that the sales would be reported in Australian dollars, that would have a negative impact.
Yeah, sure. I was just trying to get a sense because I also read that. It said that in, I guess USD, revenues were up 2% year-on-year. I was just trying to get a feel for what the organic growth rate is. Just a range, maybe.
Okay. If you look at, PNG aside, I think in Fiji, you had close to double-digit sales growth. I think in the China market where there's an increase in exports, that was also strong growth. Within PNG, though, I think of the down performance, for the year, it was down about, let's see, 15 million and quite a bit of that was owed to the currency. Let me give you the number shortly as I pull it up. 12.3 million was related to kina depreciation.
Okay. That helps. That's very helpful. The other part of Goodman Fielder, just to be able to, I guess, help me visualize what kind of returns you're going to be able to get at what speed. Your dairy business, this is one of your newer markets outside of PNG and Fiji. Can you walk me through the business model that you're doing there? Are you undertaking the marketing yourself and selling to hypermarkets? Or are you using a distributor where you're selling it to him at a fixed cost that he undertakes the marketing and promotions of the products?
It depends on the market. When you look at the China market, for instance, our joint venture partner, Wilmar, has a very large distribution platform. For the distribution of dairy products and other products that are sold into that market, we're able to leverage their experience, their platform, and the channels that they do have, not just on the retail side of the business, but more importantly, and equally as important, the trade side of the business. We're talking about restaurants and food manufacturers and so forth. It's that food service channel that we believe represents a significant growth potential in addition to the overall retail consumer market. In other markets, though, where we don't have as large of a footprint, in Vietnam, we have gone through third-party distributors.
Similarly, in the Philippines, where there's been an effort to launch and actually, in some cases, relaunch products that in the past were sold into the Philippines and generated a reasonable portfolio of products, including the dairy, including spreads, including some of the other grocery categories. A lot of these initiatives are underway to, again, be able to rebuild. Those will start with the third-party distribution. But over time, as the business scales up, then we would look at other options in terms of how we can, within the group, help drive that.
Now, in other markets, let's say in PNG and in Fiji, because there is an existing manufacturing footprint, because there is sales forces that are on the ground in those markets and direct access to the food retailers as well as the key market distributors, then there we would have a direct go-to in terms of placing new products as we cross-sell. Part of it is the retail, the brands, the Meadow Fresh UHT and so forth, but the other part is around the food service side of the business, including a new focus around ingredients. Some of the areas where the group is able to procure significant quantities of various ingredient products, we're seeing opportunities to introduce those in our various markets.
Okay, I understand. Yeah, it sounds like you're probably going to be able to make a profit pretty soon in China if you're going through Walmart's distribution network, but maybe a little bit slower in Southeast Asia, given how fragmented that market is. Is that fair to say?
Yeah. Well, China last year grew quite a bit. It was a multiple-
Yeah
of what it had been in 2015. We expect that momentum to continue in terms of growth in this year. The other markets, because it is less of a direct access, but also if you think about UHT, the reason why some of the dairy products were able to grow so quickly was on the back of market challenges over in previous years, the melamine that happened in 2008, which really brought the growth of imported milk products into that market, as well as consumers who are looking for premium products from Australia and New Zealand. We are seeing that a little bit in some of the Southeast Asian markets, but to your point, it is off of a much smaller volume and scale base. The growth itself, though, in Philippines, for instance, it was well into the double digits in terms of top-line growth.
Okay, I understand. That is all I have. Thank you very much.
Ladies and gentlemen, as a reminder, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. There are no further question in the queue.
Thank you. As there are no more questions, may I invite Mr. Pangilinan to give his closing remarks?
Well, I think John described to you the results of the year just passed. I think we'd like to conclude by looking at prospects for 2017. The way we look at performance for the coming year, the view is with a fair degree of optimism. If you go through it one by one, at least on a major company basis, at PLDT, I think we're seeing some degree of stabilization in its revenue subscriber base, particularly the wireless side, and certainly the growth on the fixed-line business of PLDT. In fact, in the course of the year, as John described to you, we expect EBITDA to rise from 65 billion core last year to around 70 billion core EBITDA this year, and profits to rise from 20 billion last year to, we've guided the number to, 21.5 billion pesos in 2017 before any exceptionals.
On the food side, Indofood and Goodman Fielder, I think we should see steady growth in demand for their products in their respective areas of operation, and therefore profitability will continue to trend upward for Indofood and as well for Goodman Fielder, but I think at a rate of growth higher than Indofood's rate of growth for 2017. At Metro Pacific, we see a steady growth in all of its core infrastructure businesses. Clearly, there's some regulatory uncertainties, particularly the water and tollway side related to tariffs, but I think on the water side, we expect the arbitration panel to render a decision in May, so we should see some resolution of the tariff issues around the water tariffs. On the tollways, we actually have been in informal discussion with the government as to how we sort out the tollway tariffs starting this year.
Philex Mining continues to focus on finalizing its feasibility study in respect of its new mine in Surigao del Norte in Mindanao, and Padcal continues to perform well given the current prices of gold and copper. All told, we should see an improvement in the profit level of First Pacific given the underlying performance of each of the individual companies. John alluded to the fact that in addition to improved performance, we're currently reviewing the portfolio of investments we have with a view to disposing of certain assets that are no longer strategic in our view or do not meet the kind of investment criteria that we've set for ourselves. The proceeds will be used to fund a multi-year share repurchase program and to reduce debt.
All told, we should see a delivery of higher shareholder return by way of dividends and share purchases starting this year. That concludes our presentation.
Thank you, Mr. Pangilinan. For the results roadshow, we are in U.K. end April, in North America in early May. Contact us if you want to meet our First Pacific team. Thanks again for joining today's call. Operator, please can you provide the replay information?
