Keppel Land - 3Q14 results in line, maintain BUY, TP: S$4.59

3Q14 group revenues for Keppel Land fell 60% y-o-y to S$168m, largely due to absence of sales from The Lakefront Residences in Singapore which obtained TOP in May 2014 and lower contribution from a couple of projects in Shanghai. However, 3Q14 net profit only fell 11% y-o-y to S$113m, as Keppel Land booked S$99m in profits from the divestment of Equity Plaza and its share in Prudential Tower. Excluding these gains, Keppel Land's profits would have fallen 86% to S$16m. For 9M14, net profit excluding gains on property disposals stood at S$233m, representing 71% of our FY14F net profit. This is largely in line with expectations. As results were largely in line with expectations, there is no change to our estimates. With Keppel Land trading at a steep 32% discount to our target price of S$4.59, we continue to advocate investors add to their position in Keppel Land. Maintain BUY.

SATS'aviation operating data for 2Q and 1H FY2014-15. In the second quarter of FY2014-15, unit services, flights handled and passengers handled by SATS decreased y-o-y by 1.6%, 2.9% and 2.5%, respectively as airlines right-sized their capacity to match market demand. Unit and gross meals grew modestly by 1.3% and 1.8% respectively while cargo throughput rose 5.6%, mostly reflecting SATS' market share gain. All operating metrics improved in the first half of FY2014-15 with the exception of flights and passengers handled.

In property news, the government will launch 25% fewer Build-to-Order (BTO) flats next year, said National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan. This would mark a further slowdown in pace - the BTO programme has already been reduced by 10% to 22,400 units this year - that would avoid an oversupply.
