Global Logistic Properties - 3Q15 results slightly below; maintain BUY with lower TP of S$2.98

3Q15 results for Global Logistic Properties slightly below. The lower net profit of US$112m (-36% y-o-y) was mainly due to (i) lower fair value gains from associates and (ii) higher minority interests due to sale of a 33.8% stake in GLP China. The Group continues to see positive leasing momentum in core markets with robust development targets set for 2016. Maintain BUY but target price revised down to S$2.98 (Prev S$ 3.42). We remain positive on GLP, driven by its value creation from development projects in China and its growing recurring fee income business.

According to Bloomberg, Indonesia's energy commission together with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) had agreed to increase subsidies for biodiesel to Rp4,000/litre (from Rp1,500 previously) and bioethanol to Rp3,000/litre (from Rp2,000 previously). These are subject to final approval by the parliamentary budget committee (possibly by mid- Feb). The proposal to increase biodiesel subsidies is positive for plantation companies; although we doubt stateowned enterprises (if any) have the capacity to meet the required mandates. We continue to see underperformance in government's targeted biodiesel mandate of 3.41m kl this year. Separately, the government may cut corporate income tax by 500-1000 bps to 15%-20% in 2016. We believe reducing corporate income tax would have a stronger impact.
