Recommendation: Buy
Previous close: S$0.21
Fair value: S$0.45
· Revenue for HY11 up 369.6% y-y to RMB193.1m, net profit up to RMB11.7m

Phillip Securities Research Pte Ltd
Singapore
15 Nov 2010
From PhillipCapital on 15 Nov 2010:
Maintain buy recommendation and lowering fair value slightly to S$0.45.
- reversing from a loss a year earlier to net profit of RMB 11.7m in HY11.
- recent price drop of 30% is unwarranted as fundamental business still very strong.
- agreement to develop a 1200MW wind farm in Jiuquan, Gansu Province
Valuation and Recommendation:
We are maintaining our Buy recommendation and lowering our fair value slightly to S$0.45 to
reflect the higher interest rates in
opportunity to participate in the fast growing renewable energy sector in
REA based on SOTP (unchanged), 9X FY12E expected earnings on its EPC and
manufacturing business, using DCF model to value its wind farm business. Its manufacturing
and EPC business will propel its growth for the first 2 years and they are likely to announce
more wind farm equipment manufacturing contracts as more offshore wind farms are being
developed around the world especially in
disposing its fastening business which will likely result in a re-rating of REA. Our fair value
translates to PE of 11X FY12E earnings which is still relatively cheap compared to its closest
peer who is currently trading at a PE of 23.2X.
From DMG:
Renewable Energy Asia Group: Transformation of core business begins (BUY, S$0.225, TP S$0.385)
Tan Chee How (6232 3894, chee-how.tan@dmgaps.com.sg)
Terence Wong, CFA (6232 3896, terence.wong@dmgaps.com.sg)
Earnings surged as wind business kicks in. Renewable Energy Asia Group (REAG) reported a PATMI of RMB11.7m in 1HFY11 (loss-making in 1HFY10) as revenue surged to RMB193m (+227% HoH; +370% YoY). Despite the huge improvement in results attributable to the contributions coming from manufacturing and Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) units, the PATMI is slightly below expectations due to:
1) slower initial progress from manufacturing unit, and
2) lower than expected gross profit margins for manufacturing and fasterner businesses.
Hence, we lowered our FY11F/FY12F/FY13F PATMI by 24%/7%/11% respectively as we cut:
1) revenue contributions from manufacturing and EPC segments,
2) gross margins of the three business segments, and factored in 3) contributions from Nantong Huaishuo Investment Co (NHI) which owns a 49% stake in Datang Baotou Electricity (DBE).
Our TP is reduced to S$0.385 based on sum-of-the parts and blended FY11F/FY12F earnings.
Maintain BUY.
Manufacturing business expected to improve in 2HFY11F.
Manufacturing business contributed only RMB129m in 1HFY11F and posted a lower than expected gross margin of 17% vs our est 21% due to lower operational efficiency associated with initial phase of learning curve. For 2H11F, we expect manufacturing to contribute ~RMB290m in revenue on the back of:
1) a new manufacturing line addition, and
2) higher operational efficiency.
Furthermore, we lowered our FY11F/FY12F gross margin assumptions to 18%/19% respectively (prev 21%/21%).
Completion of acquisition of NHI expected in 2HFY11F. With the expected completion of NHI in 2HFY11F, REAG will be able to benefit from DBE’s wind farm which has a power generating capacity of 49.5MW and has started operations in mid-Oct 2010. We estimate DBE’s wind farm will achieve operational hours of 1,000 hrs during its first six months of operations. This will lead to estimated net profit contributions of RMB1.1m to REAG.



In top volume again

Optimistic of 2011 financial performance
EARNINGS AT A GLANCE
H1 Revenue: RMB 193.1 mln vs RMB 41.1 mln
Net profit: RMB 16.1 mln vs RMB (3.7) mln
Cashflow: RMB (3) mln vs RMB 6.2 mln
EARNINGS COMMENTARY
REA’s revenue rose by nearly five times to RMB 193.1 mln. This was mainly driven by a RMB 129 mln contribution from the group’s new renewable energy business, which commenced operations on 1 April. In addition, REA said revenue from the fastening business improved to RMB 64 mln from RMB 41 mln in H1 2011 as the global economy recovered.
In terms of gross profit margin, the group’s renewable energy business registered a gross margin of 16.8% from its first half-year of manufacturing operations, while the fastening business, which had to deal with higher raw material cost as well as pricing pressure from competitors, saw gross margin fall to 29.3%, from 38.9% a year ago.
OUTLOOK
The board is optimistic of the group’s financial performance in 2011.
~INVESTOR CENTRAL’S TAKE~
REA’s current ratios (by Reuters):
P/E: -
P/B: 10.78x
Free cashflow for FY2009: -HK$42.3 mln vs HK$18.6 mln

Renewable Energy Asia Group - Return to black for HY11
From Philip Capital:
Renewable Energy Asia Group - Return to black for HY11
Revenue for HY11 up 369.6% y-y to RMB193.1m, net profit up to RMB11.7m
• HY11 results were within our expectations
• Revenue will be boasted by an additional production line and wind farm
• Maintain Buy recommendation and lowering our fair value slightly to S$0.45
we will see improvement in the margins after the start-up phase and the addition of 1 production line to meet the delivery schedule of its order book. Outlook for the second half of the year remains bright; its first wind farm which started operations in Oct’10 will contribute to its earnings and possible contract wins for its manufacturing arm.
Recent price drop unwarranted
After the successful placement of shares of REA at S$0.30, its share price has dropped about 30% to close at S$0.21 on 12th November 2010. We feel that this drop is unwarranted as the fundamental business is still doing very well and they are expected to record net profits of RMB47.5m for FY11E reversing from a loss a year ago. Its EPC and manufacturing segment will likely see more contracts from China Datang as China Datang renewable energy arm is expected to list at the end of the year. Second half of the year will also see the likely renewal of annual master contract with the European off-shore turbine manufacturer.
Agreement to develop a 1200MW wind farm in Jiuquan, Gansu Province
REA announced that it has entered into an agreement with the Jiuquan government to develop a wind farm of up 1,200MW in capacity over 10 years in two phases. The Jiuquan government will provide the land resources and infrastructure for the wind farm project. REA will also invest in a local production facility to produce wind turbine components and its products will be given first consideration to other wind farms operators in the city. The project will also involve other renewable energy sources like solar, hydropower and biomass power generation facilities. A wind farm of such scale requires large amount of capital and it can easily cost about RMB 9b to develop into its full capacity. We expect REA to start developing the wind farm in phases from Apr’11 once they received all the necessary approvals.
Valuation and Recommendation
We are maintaining our Buy recommendation and lowering our fair value slightly to S$0.45 to reflect the higher interest rates in China. REA provide Singapore investors a unique opportunity to participate in the fast growing renewable energy sector in China. We are valuing REA based on SOTP (unchanged), 9X FY12E expected earnings on its EPC and manufacturing business, using DCF model to value its wind farm business. Its manufacturing and EPC business will propel its growth for the first 2 years and they are likely to announce more wind farm equipment manufacturing contracts as more offshore wind farms are being developed around the world especially in China. However we would also like to see them disposing its fastening business which will likely result in a re-rating of REA. Our fair value translates to PE of 11X FY12E earnings which is still relatively cheap compared to its closest peer who is currently trading at a PE of 23.2X.
Placement exercise in Sept’10; a positive for REA Group
This placement exercise will allow REA Group to kick start its wind farm operations business providing the capital to buy the 49% stake in 49.5MW wind farm in Huaishuo as announced earlier. The capital raised will also be used for 1) working capital 2) partial payment for its manufacturing facilities that they are currently renting and 3) develop the wind farm concessions on hand.
Development of offshore wind farm sector
Huaneng Renewable Energy recently announced that it will invest RMB 6b in a 300MW offshore wind farm project located in Dafeng, Jiangsu Province. This project will likely enhance offshore wind farm equipment manufacturing capability and provide officials with a better idea on setting the laws for offshore wind farm development. The relevant authorities also plan to award another 4 projects with a total installed capacity of 1,000MW to winning bidders. The offshore wind farm projects are located in Binhai and Sheyang, Jiangsu Province. We think that these developments bodes well for REA Group as they currently has 3,000MW of offshore wind farm concession on hand which they could start developing when formal laws and feed-in tariffs are determined by the authorities.

This should be good news for Renewable Energy:
Chinese demand to drive oil prices higher: IEA
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Chinese demand is likely to drive the price of oil much higher in the coming years, the International Energy Agency said Tuesday in its 2010 World Energy Outlook. "The age of cheap oil is over," the agency said, according to a press briefing document on its website. In a Wall Street Journal interview, the chief economist of the IEA said he expects the price of oil to rise to about $110 a barrel in 2015 from about $88 now

Renewable Energy- major pillar of Singapore's growth
Today Straits Times, PM Lee officiate opening ceremony yesterday, one of world's largest intergrated solar plants and identified as a major pillar of growth for Singapore and mentioned world demand is increasing
Dont know when its going up. bought at $0.24
Kim Eng target $0.40

Renewable Energy Asia (REA) has successfully raised net proceeds of
$28.8m following the recent completion of its private placement,
which comprised 100m ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.30 per
share. The new shares represent about 16.1% of the company’s
enlarged issued share capital. We have trimmed our target price to
$0.40, from $0.50, to take into account the dilution effects.
