KEY IDEA

M1: Margins holding up in 3Q13

M1 Ltd reported its 3Q13 revenue of S$241.7m, down 5% YoY and 1.1% QoQ, mainly due to lower handset sales; but net profit rose 19% YoY and 1% QoQ to S$39.5m, aided by higher service EBITDA margin. 9M13 revenue was down 2.7% at S$729.3m, meeting around 64% of our FY13 forecast, while net profit rose 10% to S$119.7m, or 77% of our full-year estimate. Going forward, management has kept its 2013 guidance intact i.e. still expects to see moderate earnings growth; also keeps capex spending at S$130m. In light of the 9M13 results, we opt to pare our FY13 sales estimate by 8%; but we keep our earnings estimate unchanged. Our DCF-based fair value inches up to S$3.17 from S$3.10 on slightly risk-free assumptions. Maintain HOLD. (Carey Wong)

TEE International: Impact from one-time expenses

Tee International’s 1QFY14 PATMI dipped 67.5% YoY to S$0.9m mostly due to S$1.9m in unrealized foreign currency losses and a S$2.8m spike in admin expenses. The increase in admin expenses consist of a one-time S$1.1m incentive payment to employees, S$0.7m from the newly acquired integrated turnkey material-handling subsidiary, and staff costs from a higher headcount. 1QFY14 PATMI constitutes only 4.1% of our FY14 forecast and we judge this quarter to be a miss. That said, if we adjusted for the one-time incentive payment and currency losses, core PATMI is estimated at S$5.6m which would have made up 25.0% of our forecast and been in line. Our fair value estimate dips to S$0.35, versus S$0.38 previously, as we lower our FY14 PATMI forecast down by 26% to S$16.6m. Maintain HOLD. (Eli Lee)
