Summary
Macquarie Group Limited, (MQG A$22.53), Neutral ........................................................................................ 5 1H12E Result Preview - 28 October 2011 Ahead of the 1H12 result, we are downgrading our FY12E/FY13E earnings by ~5%, to reflect weaker markets activity. We are forecasting 1H12E earnings of A$327m (1H10: A$403m) and an interim dividend of 86cps (flat on 1H10). We remain cautious, given the outlook for global IB remains challenging and, although MQG is trading at a ~20% discount to our valuation of A$28.63, it is no more attractive than that on offer across our coverage universe. Neutral retained. Australasian Economic Weekly ......................................................................................................................... 13 Aussie 3Q CPI this week key for near-term policy outlook RBA minutes gave no hint that board members are close to cutting cash rate Aussie inflation data critical next week; PPI data also scheduled for release Next week should see a slight slowing in inflation in New Zealand, and the RBNZ on hold Woodside Petroleum, (WPL A$33.38), Underweight .................................................................................... 19 3Q11 top line beat; third party gas for Pluto-2 looking increasingly necessary WPL delivered a solid 3Q top line result, but the truncated Pluto-2 gas exploration program highlights the risk WPL may have to rely on 3rd party gas. Our view has not materially changed as a result of the 3Q11 report. We think (a) WPL represents reasonable value on an absolute basis, with essentially free exposure to its growth projects, but (b) on a relative basis in the large cap Australian energy space we think there are better risk/reward propositions. Accordingly we hold an Underweight recommendation. Building Materials ............................................................................................................................................... 25 Backs Against the Wall...Boral now in the spotlight The building materials sector, in particular building products, has been beset by a litany of profit warnings over the past three months. A marked deterioration in residential activity is the common theme running through the downgrades. With this wall of evidence in hand, we now no longer expect BLD to grow its Building Products earnings this year and have cut our group FY12 forecasts as a result. While our BLD recommendation is OW, our preference in the sector remains ABC. Murchison Metals Ltd, (MMX A$0.26), Underweight ..................................................................................... 43 MMX's value is likely to be in its intellectual property MMX provided an update today in which they indicated that discussions with stakeholders are ongoing with respect to a restructure of the ownership of OPR. We believe the value of MMX is in the intellectual property that has been developed since OPR was appointed as the preferred proponent to build the infrastructure. We have changed our valuation methodology to 50% of the MMXs share of the IPs book value but maintain an Underweight rating.

Singapore Telecom, (STEL S$3.16), Overweight ........................................................................................... 47 Downside hedged benefits from NBN, regional asset contributions to improve; upgrade to OW We upgrade SingTel to Overweight with a Mar-13 price target of S$3.60 with a total return expectation of 20% (+14% capital appreciation based on our target FY13 P/E of 13x + 5% expected cash dividends during the next 12 months). Our price target is driven by two factors: 1) our EPS forecasts vs. street: we are 6% ahead for FY13; 2) the target FY13 earnings multiple currently at 11.9x and below the top of its normal trading range; we use 13.0x for our price target. Primary Health Care Limited, (PRY A$3.30), Neutral..................................................................................... 71 Suring up its funding Considering the uncertainty surrounding funding from a global perspective, PRYs announcement that it had refinanced its syndicated debt facility at ~225 bps above BBSY is an impressive outcome. Attention now squarely shifts to its operational performance with Medical Centres remaining a key value driver. To date, we have not noticed an obvious improvement in PRY's Medical Centre division despite managements apparent success in recruiting additional GPs. Maintain Neutral recommendation. Macy's, Inc. ........................................................................................................................................................... 75 Winning at Its Own Game; Core Long Term Holding; Initiating with Overweight Summary: Matthew Boss initiated coverage of Macys with an Overweight rating and December 2012 $36 price target. Macys represents a core long term holding and strong multi-year investment opportunity given among the strongest arsenals of top-line (My Macys, Omni-Channel) and margin drivers (price optimization) in retail today, best-in-class management, and more than reasonable valuation (9.4x P/E & 5.0x EBITDA). Relevance for Australian stocks (Shaun CousinsAC): Matthew Boss has initiated on the department store retailers in the United States. The Macy's and Nordstrom initiation have greatest relevance for DJS and MYR, specifically the top-line drivers given the difficulty for DJS and MYR to generate revenue growth over recent years. The top-line drivers for Macy's are My Macys (tailoring merchandise assortments to specific demographics and demand at the local market or store level), Omni-channel (integrating inventory management across all channels [stores, online, mobile] to allow customers a seamless shopping experience) and Magic selling (enhanced associate training program aimed at accelerating sales through focus on increased conversion). The top line drivers for Nordstrom have included omni-channel integration (which is ahead of its competition having been launched in 2005 and provides a seamless shopping experience across channels [online, full-line, Rack]) and a store-level merchandising localisation program. We remain Underweight on DJS and Neutral on MYR and highlight the challenges for top-line growth and the risk of EBIT margin compression due to potential deflation, cost inflation and required service investment.

1H12E Result Preview - 28 October 2011

Neutral
MQG.AX, MQG AU Price: A$22.53

Price Target: A$28.63


Previous: A$31.99

Ahead of the 1H12 result, we are downgrading our FY12E/FY13E earnings by ~5%, to reflect weaker markets activity. We are forecasting 1H12E earnings of A$327m (1H10: A$403m) and an interim dividend of 86cps (flat on 1H10). We remain cautious, given the outlook for global IB remains challenging and, although MQG is trading at a ~20% discount to our valuation of A$28.63, it is no more attractive than that on offer across our coverage universe. Neutral retained. Issues to look for with the 1H12E result FY12E Earnings Guidance: MQGs FY12E guidance an improved result for FY12 on FY11 was provided on 7 September. Ongoing weakness in market conditions sees our FY12E earnings forecasts of A$902m falling short of this JPM(f) are currently 6% below FY12E consensus and 15% below FY13E consensus (refer to Table 4). In our view, one of the key swing factors remains the compensation ratio (FY12E: ~48%) and the extent to which it may be reduced as returns continue to be generated below the cost of capital. Dividend: Our forecast 1H12E / 2H12E dividends of 86cps / 100cps represent a consistent outcome with FY10 and FY11 dividend outcomes. However, ongoing levels of depressed earnings sees the resulting FY12E payout ratio of ~72% steadily departing from the dividend policy of 50%-60% annual payout ratio (FY10 div 186cps = 60% payout, FY11 div 186cps = 67% payout). Capital management: Given the release of the APRA Basel 3 discussion paper on 6 September, we will await disclosure from MQG as to what the impact on their current surplus capital position may be. With A$3bn of excess capital relative to current APRA minimum requirements, MQG have stated that there is sufficient capital to meet Basel 3 capital requirements. Further, thoughts on how to manage capital deployment to restore ROEs will be keenly sought. Costs: MQG are planning to execute estimate annualized post-tax cost savings in a range of A$221m to A$335m (i.e. a potential pro-forma FY13E earnings impact of ~20% to 30% refer Table 5). We await further evidence of progress and have not incorporated their full impact into our current forecasts. Funding: We will be looking for commentary on the funding maturity profile for MQG (and its managed funds), and the extent to which ongoing dislocation of global funding markets may impact quantum and pricing.

Earnings Revisions
Market conditions have continued to deteriorate through September and October 2011 and recent global IB 3Q11 trends indicate weak market conditions are expected to persist for some time. Based on these most recent trends, we are downgrading our FY12E / FY13E / FY14E earnings by ~-5% to A$902m / A$1,056m / A$1,032m, respectively (refer Table 1).

As detailed in Table 2, we have downgraded financial markets revenues and increased our effective tax rate. Specifically: Trading income forecasts have been reduced modestly across equities and F/X markets. Our effective tax rate has increased to 28% in 1H12E (2H12E: 26%) reflecting the higher proportion of group earnings derived from annuity sources (compared to trading earnings) in the current environment.

Recent Outlook Commentary


MQG provided updated outlook commentary on 7 September 2011 (23 days prior to half year end), noting: 1H12: 1H12 result will be lower than 1H11 (Previous guidance of 1H12 result is likely to be lower than 1H11). FY12: We continue to expect an improved result for FY12 on FY11 Our expectation for FY12 also assumes that we receive the cash amount to be made available to investors noted in MAps recent announcement (Previous guidance of we continue to expect an improved result for FY12 on FY11). In effect, MQGs 7 September 2011 guidance indicated that operational weakness due to market conditions across Securities, Capital, and FICC is likely to be offset by the MAp special distribution in FY12E (refer Table 3)). At the time of these comments, we left our earnings estimates unchanged as these dynamics were already taken into account in our bottom-of-market FY12E and FY13E earnings. However, since early September 2011, market conditions have continued to deteriorate and recent global IB 3Q11 trends indicate weak market conditions are expected to persist for some time. Based on these most recent trends, we are downgrading our FY12E / FY13E / FY14E earnings by ~-5% to A$902m / A$1,056m / A$1,032m. Notwithstanding substantial consensus downgrades in recent months, our FY12E earnings of A$902m (vs. FY11 A$956m) remain ~6% below consensus and our bottom-of-the-market FY13E earnings of A$1,056m are ~15% below consensus (refer Table 4).

Proposed Platform Efficiencies


Table 5 below summarizes the proposed platform efficiencies across key divisions announced by MQG at the 2011 AGM in July 2011. We estimate annualized posttax cost savings in a range of A$221m to A$335m could provide a potential proforma FY13E earnings impact of ~20% to 30%. We await further evidence of the sustainability of these proposed cost savings and have not incorporated their full impact into our current forecasts.

The Global Investment Banking Comparison


As detailed in Figure 1, since the onset of the GFC, MQG has traded largely in line with global investment banking peers, with it no longer receiving a premium to global vanilla investment banks (arguably attributable to the value of the Macquarie Model), as was the case in the past.

Valuation
We value each of MQGs different styles of earnings stream with consideration given to the appropriate multiples for each, as well as placing value on the equity held against balance sheet equity investments which generate minimal direct earnings, and surplus capital. We believe that this is the appropriate way to value MQG as a whole. Specifically, the key part of the process is stripping out the value of surplus capital and the capital held against the equity investments, and value that at par, to get a true sense of the capital deployed to generate a return. It is this ROE on deployed capital which drives our multiple for these businesses, with the par value of the equity investments and surplus capital added to get total value for MQG. On this basis, our new December 2011 price target of A$28.63 (change due to earnings revisions) reflects our current valuation based on FY12E earnings (refer to Table 6). Risks to the share price target (both upside and downside) include activity levels in global financial markets and successful integration of MQGs recently acquired businesses.

Aussie 3Q CPI this week key for near-term policy outlook

RBA minutes gave no hint that board members are close to cutting cash rate Aussie inflation data critical next week; PPI data also scheduled for release Next week should see a slight slowing in inflation in New Zealand, and the RBNZ on hold

The past week was quiet for top-tier data in Australia, while there were no major data to speak of at all for New Zealand. What did become available in Australia hinted that domestic economic conditions had improved slightly, with leading indicators lifting, and the terms of trade rising again. For policy, the RBAs Board minutes hinted that the futures market probably read overly dovish sentiments into the RBAs policy announcement two weeks ago. The minutes made clear that RBA officials implicit nod toward possible official rate cuts is highly conditional, first on whether cuts are necessary at all, and, second, on the scenario that next weeks inflation print is very benign, which looks unlikely. Indeed, next weeks quarterly Aussie inflation data will have an important bearing on what the RBA does from here. We anticipate elevated prints on both the headline and core measures, with both accelerating in annual terms. These outcomes will make it very difficult for RBA Board members to contemplate rate cuts any time soon, unless something dramatic changes, most likely offshore, to significantly improve Australias medium-term inflation outlook. It would take an event of considerable importance for RBA officials to capitulate on their well-worn mantra that the terms of trade and investment booms are continuing. Our forecast remains that the RBA will be on hold from here, partly on the basis that global recession will be avoided, and growth in Australias major export markets, therefore, will remain robust. This implies that the terms of trade, which slipped in 3Q, will stay elevated, and that the mining investment boom will continue. Essentially, the price and wage pressures being triggered by the boom, which admittedly seem less alarming than they did a few weeks back, will broadly offset the disinflationary pulse triggered by weakness in the domestic-focused sectors of the economy, like retailing, manufacturing, and finance.

Inflation data key to RBA (in)action


Our forecast for the Aussie quarterly inflation prints this coming Wednesday is that the headline rate will be 0.7%q/q (down from 0.9% in 2Q), and that the core measures will be 0.6%, the same as in the previous quarter. On this basis, the annual rates should be 3.8%oya and 2.6% for headline and trimmed mean inflation, respectively. Each of these will represent modest accelerations from the previous quarter. The largest price rises during the quarter probably came from a double-digit rise in electricity prices, a smaller rise in gas prices, and a hefty lift in rents. Largely offsetting these will be price falls for fruit and vegetables (after the flood-induced spike in 2Q), falls in tobacco prices, and a lower cost of hospital and medical services. There also should be a 5% drop in automotive fuel prices, owing to lower crude prices.

This will be the first CPI release since the statistics bureau dropped the previously volatile financial services component from the CPI. The weights of other categories have risen as a result. Also, the ABS will release more seasonally adjusted data in the headline and core measures. Both changes should contribute to less volatility in quarterly price outcomes (the financial services component, in particular, has been unexpectedly volatile), but could make interpretation more problematic, particularly the first time the new series are released.

RBA minutes downplay the about face


Tuesdays RBA minutes were highly anticipated, given the marked change in the language describing inflation at the October Board meeting. Until this month, officials had been talking of the need to tighten policy further in the future, if inflation were to evolve as expected. In fact, recent RBA speeches had even divulged details from several meetings of the past year in which the Board nearly did raise the cash rate, but held fire due to offshore uncertainties. That all changed two weeks ago, when the RBA kept rates on hold and saw inflation as (now) being more consistent with the 2-3 per cent target. The minutes to the October meeting certainly acknowledged that the growth outlook has weakened, and that the inflation picture has improved, but the discussion suggests a more nuanced shift than many have read into the October statement. In particular, the more relaxed attitude toward near-term inflation risks was pegged on two factors: a labor market that now is just a little softer than previously, and the recent revisions to the CPI, which lower the starting point for the inflation path.

Neither of these catalysts will be particularly satisfying for those hoping to win officials over to the view that current terms of trade-driven policy settings are too much for the non-mining economy to bear. In fact, while the language says that the starting point for inflation is lower, it does not say the path has changed, and judging by the (still) upbeat capex discussion, and the extent to which the rise in the unemployment rate is downplayed, we would guess that path remains upward sloping. In the discussion of global issues, the European saga looms large, with officials emphasizing the transmission to share prices for financial institutions, which had fallen significantly, and then to business and consumer confidence in the North Atlantic economies, which had showed a sharp drop. Sentiment clearly is the key transmission mechanism about which officials are worried in terms of private demand domestically as well.

Labor market less tight ... not loose


The downward impulses to inflation were seen as coming from the labor market, which, while recent data were mixed, on balance appeared to be softening. The unemployment rate has risen, but the minutes were careful to note that the vacancy rate had increased over the last few months, and the number of recipients of unemployment benefits was still falling. Overall this suggests that the labor market would be less tight and that the likelihood of a significant acceleration in aggregate labor costs was lessening. As far as a downgrade of the wage/inflation story goes, this reads as a pretty subtle one.

The downward revisions to the CPI data were the other factor granting officials more scope to keep policy steady for now. The revisions take underlying inflation in the year to June down from 2.7% to 2.5%, but if the new CPI weights were applied, the number goes down by about 25bp over the year. This reflects the substitution bias from the shift to items that have become more affordable in recent years, like AV and computing equipment. All up, these influences meant that inflation would be more consistent with the 2%3% target than previously.

Rate cut hints highly conditional


Finally, for those anticipating rate cuts, it is worth noting that there are two significant hurdles to clear. First, the improved inflation outlook needs to be confirmed by further data. A very soft outcome for 3Q CPI would then seem to be required for the new lower path of inflation to be locked in. Second, such an outcome would provide scope for accommodation, but only should that prove necessary. In other words, there is no need for such action as the data now stand. The fact that financial conditions had already eased somewhat through lower fixed lending rates and the decline in AUD raises these hurdles further. We would characterize the RBA as having given up more on the jawboning than on the base case. Uncertainty clearly is high at the moment, and the data have softened a little, but are not sufficiently weak to jettison the capex/terms of trade story. The RBAs story has been disrupted frequently by offshore events this year, but not derailed. Ultimately though, officials will have limited tolerance for talking one way and acting another, and to the extent that confidence has been hurt by the combination of poor news flow and the lingering threat of rate hikes, it makes sense to portray a balanced outlook in the face of such uncertainty. We expect the RBA to be on hold until the end of this year, with core inflation gradually rising, but not at a pace sufficient to spook officials given persistent global growth risks.

RBA verbiage: Aussie banks healthy


Other public commentary from senior RBA officials this week similarly betrayed no hint that officials are close to cutting the cash rate (futures market pricing still implies that the cash rate will fall more than 100bp in the year ahead). Guy Debelle, Assistant Governor (Financial Markets), highlighted in a speech in Sydney that Australias commercial banks are in very good shape. This is partly owing to the shift toward a more diversified funding model that favors more deposit-taking relative to the previous preference for a higher share of wholesale funding. Debelle compared Australias robust banking system favorably with more problematic financial systems offshore. There is official commentary scheduled for next week. Deputy Governor Ric Battellino speaks to an investment conference in Sydney. Coming the day before the release of the CPI data, it is unlikely that the Deputy Governors speech will deviate much relative to the tone of recent commentary and this weeks minutes. The topic of the speech is not yet available.

Aussie terms of trade rose in 3Q


Yet again, the peak in Australias terms of trade was pushed back a quarter, with the news this week that, contrary to our expectation, export prices jumped a further 4%q/q in 3Q, while import prices held steady. Export prices were led higher by a very sharp spike in natural and manufactured gas prices, which were up 24.5%q/q, while the coal, coke and briquettes group jumped 9.3%q/q. Todays release brought new weighting patterns for the indices, and while gas products retain much smaller representation in the index than say, iron ore, which declined, the magnitude of the rise in the former group also played a significant role in the upside surprise on export prices.

The improvement in coal, though, was more of a puzzle. While contrary to other data on global coal prices through the third quarter, we remain confident that the discrepancy is a timing issue, and that prices for Australias two most significant commodities, coal and iron ore, will come back to earth somewhat as global growth slows, and with earlier supply shocks being unwound. The iron ore decline seems already to have landed in 3Q, with prices in the metalliferous ores group dragging the index lower. On the imports side, the flat-line result was significantly softer than expected, but came with a breakdown that had less definitive implications for next weeks CPI. The decline in WTI over the third quarter was widely appreciated, and certainly played a role, though the pass-through was broader and stronger than we had penciled in. The petroleum and related products group was down 3.8%q/q, and had the largest single lineitem impact. But on the flipside, the footprint of AUD depreciation was evident in several CPI-relevant groups, like apparel, footwear, and imported food groups.

NZ CPI decelerating, RBNZ on hold


Next week the third quarter CPI data should show that price pressure eased a little in New Zealand, but that alone is far from sufficient to keep the RBNZ comfortable with current policy settings. The Bank made clear a couple of months ago that the 50bps of insurance cuts delivered post-earthquake would need to be withdrawn provided conditions offshore did not deteriorate further. By next weeks meeting, the dust is unlikely to have settled in financial markets following the EU summit, and we are not particularly hopeful of the outcomes that will be delivered anyway. Thus, it seems likely that the RBNZ will keep policy on hold. Our current call is for the RBNZ to withdraw the 50bps of prior accommodation six weeks later at the December meeting, though with no easy solutions available to offshore worries, how the RBNZ next week expresses their own expectations on the external front will be critical to that call. We expect Governor

Bollard to give a fairly downbeat assessment of global growth prospects. Any sense that the Governor is getting more comfortable with the OCR at 2.50% against this backdrop obviously would force us to push back the start of the hiking cycle. On the CPI result, %oya inflation likely cooled from 5.3% in Q2 to 4.9% in the third quarter. This translates to a 0.8%q/q rise in the headline measure, slighlty below the previous quarters 1.0%q/q. Slightly slower growth in food prices, energy, and the transport group will have driven the slowdown. With last years rise in GST to drop out of the annual measures inflation from next quarter, inflation is scheduled to keep falling for a few quarters yet.

3Q11 top line beat; third party gas for Pluto-2 looking increasingly necessary
WPL delivered a solid 3Q top line result, but the truncated Pluto-2 gas exploration program highlights the risk WPL may have to rely on 3rd party gas. Our view has not materially changed as a result of the 3Q11 report. We think (a) WPL represents reasonable value on an absolute basis, with essentially free exposure to its growth projects, but (b) on a relative basis in the large cap Australian energy space we think there are better risk/reward propositions. Accordingly we hold an Underweight recommendation.
Solid 3Q11 top line results above our forecasts, upgrade CY11 EPS 5%. WPL reported production of 16.1mmboe (+3% vs JPMe). NWS LNG production was 5% above our expectations, as the planned T5 shutdown was well executed. Sales volume was 16.7mmboe (+8% vs JPMe) leading to sales revenue of US$1,313m (+10% vs JPMe). The 10% revenue beat was ~50% attributable to the over-lift at Laminaria (0.5mmbbls) and NWS. CY11 production guidance of 62-64mmboe maintained; with risk to the upside (JPMe 64.2mmboe). At the current run rate WPL is on track to produce 64.1mmboe for CY11 (48mmboe YTD). We think the lower end of guidance is now conservative. Perhaps it allows generously for potential weather and NR2 issues, or perhaps the new-ish CEO Peter Coleman wants to over-deliver. We are comfortable our 64.2mmboe full year forecast, which roughly maintains the 3Q run rate, given that over the past 5 years, the 4Q has averaged the strongest production levels. Pluto2 exploration program looks modest to us. WPL will release the Maersk Discoverer rig in early 2012 rather than late 2012, implying a truncated exploration program. WPL intends to drill six Pluto-2 exploration wells in 4Q11/1H12. The 4Q11 drilling program includes 3 wells in the Ragnar and Claudius Hubs, which are areas we think are either (a) less prospective as they are being targeted late in the program, or (b) could be less economic to tie-back given their distances from other facilities. The Xeres appraisal well is not being re-attempted in 4Q11, and this was important for WPLs confidence to order Long Lead Items (at least when Don Voelte was CEO). We see Pluto-2 as unlikely to reach FID before late 2012. A third party gas deal may be a more likely option now, although on our numbers the economic outcome is likely to be significantly lower than a WPL equity gas development (perhaps 55-60% of the NPV).

3Q11 result solid production despite planned outages


Overall WPL delivered a solid 3Q, with production of 16.1mmboe (+3% vs JPMe), sales of 16.7mmboe (+8% vs JPMe) and sales revenue of US$1,313m (+10% vs JPMe). NWS LNG production was higher than our forecasts by 5%, with planned maintenance on LNG T5 and North Rankin A impacting less than we estimated. This result lends further credence to WPLs long term plan to re-rate NWS at higher production levels. (Currently 16.3mtpa, aiming for 17.1mtpa as an interim target and 17.4mtpa eventually.)

Growth projects update


We discussed our views on the WPL's large portfolio of LNG growth projects in our Sector note Oil & gas sector Australia: Commodity forecast updates drive EPS downgrades (11 Oct 2011). Please see that note for further details. North Rankin Redevelopment. WPL says the project remains on schedule and budget for 2013 completion. We have been told by industry sources that weather conditions (high seas) are making work difficult there. However, the weather delays do not concern us at this stage, as they were said to be only modest (~1 month).

Earnings and valuation revisions


We have upgraded our FY11 earnings forecasts by 5%, mainly reflecting the stronger than expected sales volumes (boosted by 3Q over-lift at Laminaria and NWS LNG). Our DCF valuation increases <1% because our long term forecasts Upare basically unchanged. We outline our revisions in Table 2 below.

Price Target
We employ a WACC of 9.0% for WPL. Our Jun-12 price target for WPL is A$44.89/share (changed due to earnings revision) based on applying a 50% risk weighting to a theoretical Laverda oil development, 55% risk weighting to Pluto-2 assuming 90% WPL equity gas and future Hess milestone payments, a 70% risk weighting for a Browse tie-back to NWS option (comparable to a 35% risk weighting on a standalone James Price Point development), and a 20% risk weighting to Sunrise. The main upside risks are the oil price, and progress toward key milestones for its LNG projects. In the near term, one of the most relevant upside risks is further exploration/appraisal success for WPLs planned Pluto-2 project, or to a lesser extent an agreement for third party gas supply into the project.

Building Materials
Backs Against the Wall...Boral now in the spotlight
The building materials sector, in particular building products, has been beset by a litany of profit warnings over the past three months. A marked deterioration in residential activity is the common theme running through the downgrades. With this wall of evidence in hand, we now no longer expect BLD to grow its Building Products earnings this year and have cut our group FY12 forecasts as a result. While our BLD recommendation is OW, our preference in the sector remains ABC. Four profit warnings in three months Since August, the drumbeat of bad news has been monotonously consistent in the Building Materials sector. ALS (26/08) was the first to go, highlighting a sharper than expected deterioration in 'Building Products markets'. CSR (01/09) followed soon after in early September, with FBU (12/10) and GWA (20/10) both warning this month. With BLD's AGM less than two weeks away, it looks increasingly likely, in our view, that management will highlight the impact of difficult trading conditions over the first three months of FY12. Reining in our BLD Building Products (BBP) estimates In light of the clear challenges facing building products markets, we have revisited our BBP estimates. We had previously been forecasting an improvement in EBIT margin to 7.7% from FY11s 7.3%. Our revised expectation is for a contraction to 7.0%, which in turn leads to a 3.9% downgrade to our FY12 NPAT from $194m to $186m. We have also lowered our estimates for FY13 and FY14 primarily on lower margin expectations. Considerable room for improvementbut the cycle needs to turn As our detailed analysis of the industry in this report shows, BLD has been the perennial underperformer in the building products space. Its average 6-year EBIT margin, for instance, is 2.8% below the sector. While the mix of BLD's businesses timber for instance partially explains the difference, we see room for improvement on the cost management front. Divestment catalyst should help BLD in the short-term, but ABC remains our preferred name The sale of the Asia Construction Materials (ACM) business should act as a positive near-term catalyst. While we are still positive on BLD from a valuation perspective, ABC remains our sector preference for its stronger industry positioning and clearer near-term prospects.

Backs Against the Wall


Four building materials companies have profit warned in the past three months

Over the past three months, a number of the Australian Building Materials and Building Products companies have issued profit warnings, including ALS, CSR, FBU and GWA. These warnings have primarily been driven by softer than expected conditions in the Australasian residential sector. As a result, top line performance has deteriorated. In order to mitigate the weakness flowing through from the broader economy, all companies have set out a plan to cut costs in an effort to defend margin. Implications for BLD With its AGM less than two weeks away (03/11), the focus has turned squarely on what BLD's management will say about operating conditions and performance in the first three months of FY12. In broad terms, our expectations for each of the principal divisions, with the exception of BBP, is as follows: Boral Construction Materials (BCM): Set to see an improvement in EBIT to $238m in FY12 driven by acquisitions (Wagners and Sunshine) and flow through of price increases. We do, however, expect volumes in particular concrete to fall on an underlying basis. Cement: We expect EBIT from the Cement division to be flat at $95m for FY12, with a 7% decline in volumes offset by higher prices and some cost control. USA: As set out in our recent report American Drag (11/10/11), we have lowered our expectations for US housing starts, which led to sharp downgrades in our EBIT expectations for the division. In FY12, we expect the US business to register a similar loss to FY11. LBGA: our current projections assume that BLD has outright ownership of LBGA from 01/01/12, which equates to EBIT for FY12 of $34m.

Management are likely to give a trading update at the AGM (03/11)

Our forecasts outside BBP are unchanged

At this point in time, we see little reason to adjust the divisional forecasts set out above. However, the same cannot be said for BBP, where the relentless pressure of a weak and wary consumer looks set to weigh on FY12 performance. In re-assessing the prospects for the business in FY12, we have undertaken a detailed analysis of BBP's performance relative to the various companies that operate in the broadly defined Building Products market 1 . As shown in Figure 1, BLDs Building Products business has consistently underperformed the peer group.

ROA has similarly been well below the peer group

While the difference in margins can partly be attributed to BLD's mix of business e.g. very low margin for timber the division's equally underwhelming Return on Assets (ROA) suggests some scope for improvement. Over the past six years, BLDs ROA has on average been 4.0% below the peer group. Figure 2 sets out the profile of BBPs returns vs. the sector.

In our view, the wide disparity between BLDs margins and returns against the sector suggests strong prospects for growth in the medium-term. For instance, on an FY12 basis, our EBIT estimates would be as follows even if BLD was able to only recover half of the difference: EBIT margin at 8.4% $93m vs. current estimate of $78m ROA at 7.7% $114m vs. current estimate of $78m
Very little has been enumerated on the cost saving front

While BLD's sub-optimal history raises the prospect of a stronger recovery in the coming years, there remains a distinct lack of detail on the cost management front. Management continues to espouse the virtues of the LEAN programme, but with no commitment as to what financial benefits might accrue. At the FY11 results in August, management indicated that until the cycle turns, the tangible benefits of LEAN are unlikely to manifest themselves. This challenge around cost management appears to be less of an issue for the peer group, all of which to an extent appear to be taking action around cost to diminish the effects of the weak operating environment. When BLDs Strategic Review was announced in Jul-10, the following was indicated around prospective cost savings: a restructuring charge of circa $14 million to reorganise Boral to a simpler, leaner business expected to result in cost savings from 2011. However, since then, there has been little said about the extent of those cost savings and the period over which they might be achieved. At the FY11 result, there was reference to the following actions being taken to address the cost base in NSW and QLD: The deteriorating housing and commercial construction market environment in New South Wales, and particularly in Queensland, have fully exposed the need to address the high fixed costs and low utilisation of our brick and masonry operations in these states. As a result, the Group has announced plans to close a brick plant in Queensland and New South Wales, and to rationalise masonry operations on the east coast. Improved efficiency within the balance of operations is expected to provide the capacity and geographic cover to service market needs and improve returns.

With the exception of the indications around masonry cost savings above, there has been little to show in terms of explicit cost savings on the building products side of the business.

An analysis of the Australian Building Products Sector


In comparing BLD to the broader Australian Building Products sector, we have taken into consideration the earnings of a number of listed companies with similar products and exposures to BLD. Where possible, we have isolated the residential-leveraged earnings of each of these companies, which enables us to form an aggregate view of the Building Products sector. For example, in CSRs case, we exclude the earnings of its Aluminium and Property divisions. Our aggregate overview of the Australian listed building products2 sector is set out in Table 1:
Table 1: Australian Building Products Earnings & Return History
ALS Revenue EBIT Total Assets Revenue growth EBIT growth Asset growth EBIT Margin ROA UNITS $m $m $m % % % % % FY06 3,791 425 3,890 FY07 4,145 466 4,118 9.3% 9.7% 5.9% 11.2% 11.3% FY08 4,454 476 3,989 7.5% 2.1% -3.1% 10.7% 11.9% FY09 4,480 395 4,301 0.6% -17.0% 7.8% 8.8% 9.2% FY10 4,473 460 4,481 -0.2% 16.5% 4.2% 10.3% 10.3% FY11 4,616 470 4,504 3.2% 2.0% 0.5% 10.2% 10.4%

11.2% 10.9%

Source: Capital IQ, Company reports, J.P. Morgan.

Our key observations on this aggregation and history are as follows: With the exception of 2009/10, revenues have held up reasonably well; although this is likely to be tested in 2011/12. Despite a drawn out period of weak and volatile conditions, EBIT margins on average have been reasonably steady. Companies in the sector have continued to invest, with asset growth running at over 3% for the period. Interestingly, the worst year for earnings performance (2008/09) was the year in which the sectors asset growth was highest this may have been partially attributed to a short-term increase in costs related to investment. As set out in the following sections, the areas of weakest return appear to be bricks and masonry. In the following section, we outline the historical earnings and return profiles of the various companies that make up our Building Products market. In particular, given this report's focus on BLD, we assess the relevance of each of the company's to the various businesses that make up BBP.

The aggregation excludes FBU due to the heavy skew in its Building Products segment to NZ.

ALS: 1H12 Revenue down 6%; NPAT down c.33%

Alesco Corporation (ALS.AU) Relevant exposure: Broad exposure to the Australian residential market. Comments: On 26/08, ALS indicated that, trading conditions in the Australian and New Zealand building products markets have deteriorated faster than anticipated. More specifically, Management pointed to a sharp fall in consumer confidence and an increase in household savings driving lower demand for its products. As a result, 1H12 revenue is now expected to decline 6% vs. the pcp of $289m, and NPAT is forecast to be between $6.2-7.5m, down 33% or $3.4m at the mid-point of the guidance range.

CSR: 1H12 EBIT down 19%

CSR (CSR.AU) Relevant exposure: Plasterboard Comments: On 01/09, CSR announced that it expects 1H12 Group EBIT to be between $90-100m, a decline of c. 19% vs. the pcp of $118m. CSR attributed the decline in earnings to a deterioration of business confidence and activity. Also impacting 1H12 earnings is a restructure of its Viridian business, which will result in a further $10m impact at the EBIT level.

Reece Australia (REH.AU) Relevant exposure: Broad exposure to the Australian residential market. Comments: Since FY06, REH has consistently grown revenues. However, margins deteriorated significantly in FY09 as a result of tight trading conditions and costs associated with the roll-out of new stores. Since then, margins have recovered to c.11%. Despite this strong performance, management remain cautious on the outlook, with the Board anticipating, 2012 to be another challenging year.

Brickworks (BKW.AU) Relevant exposure: Bricks Comments: The returns generated by BKWs Building Products business are low relative to the rest of the Building Products sector. In an environment where demand is soft and input costs are rising, both returns and margins have deteriorated. Regarding outlook, management remained cautious at its recent FY11 results:The forecast decline in housing activity will result in another challenging year for the Building Products Group. This challenge is being met head on with an aggressive cost reduction programme.

FBU: 1H12 NPAT down 10%

Fletcher Building (FBU.NZ) Given its large exposure to the New Zealand market, we have excluded FBUs Building Products earnings from our analysis of the Australian Building Products market. However, the commentary in its recent profit warning provides further evidence of a weakening Australian residential market. On 12/10, FBU announced that 1H12 NPAT is expected to decline 10% on 1H11 NPAT of $166m. The expected reduction in earnings is driven by continued low levels of activity in the residential and commercial construction sectors in New Zealand and the significant downturn in residential consents and continued weak approval levels in commercial construction in Australia.

Our $4.40 Target Price is based on our Jun-13 Sum-of-Parts (SoP) valuation discounted back to Jun-12 at the cost of equity and adjusted for the grossed up dividend where applicable. We calculate our SoP based on the individual cash flow streams of each of the discrete business segments. In BLD's case for the SoP valuation, we strip out capex at the segmental level, not at a group level. We separately value corporate costs, working capital and provisions. We discount the segment cash flows at a group discount rate, or where relevant at a segment specific rate. Our current post-tax WACC applied to our SoP is 9.6%.

Murchison Metals Ltd


MMX's value is likely to be in its intellectual property

Underweight
MMX.AX, MMX AU Price: A$0.26

Price Target: A$0.17


Previous: A$0.57

MMX provided an update today in which they indicated that discussions with stakeholders are ongoing with respect to a restructure of the ownership of OPR. We believe the value of MMX is in the intellectual property that has been developed since OPR was appointed as the preferred proponent to build the infrastructure. We have changed our valuation methodology to 50% of the MMXs share of the IPs book value but maintain an Underweight rating. MMXs value is in its intellectual property: MMX noted that the progress made by OPR to date cannot be easily or quickly replicated and that any commercial outcome that would enable the project to be developed in the shortest possible timeframe would naturally take advantage of this pre-existing body of work and approvals. We believe the most likely outcome is for a third party to acquire MMXs IP: Murchison is currently actively engaging, or seeking to engage, with third parties in an effort to restructure the ownership of OPR. The company indicated that this contemplated involvement of other parties in the project assumed an inclusive, rather than exclusive, approach to project development. However, we believe it will more likely be an acquisitive action rather than co-operative. The Chinese appear to be the most likely candidates: WA Premier Colin Barnett has now become actively involved in the process, including initiatives to facilitate Chinese participation in the Oakajee project. We believe the greatest value of OPRs intellectual property is most likely to the Chinese with both Sinosteel Midwest (with the Weld Range Project) and Angang (with the Karara JV with Gindalbie) active in the area. Our price target is based on our valuation of MMXs IP: The two JV partners have spent ~A$400 million on design and development work for both OPR and Crosslands; however, it is unlikely in our view that they will see full value for that work. We therefore assign a value to MMX of 50c in the dollar or A$100m for its 50% share of the intellectual property at book value. Excluding the debt that is due to RCF of US$25m, we arrive with a June 2012 price target for Murchison of A$0.17 per share.

Murchison provides an update on OPR process


Murchison issued a short release today providing an update to the market on the process for the development of the Oakajee Port & Rail. As we discussed in our note of 4 July 2011, three months ago Murchison initiated a strategic review because the company was unable to sign foundation customers for the infrastructure and the Residual Payment from Mitsubishi would not be sufficient to cover its anticipated equity required for project development. The release today indicated that as part of its ongoing strategic review, Murchison is currently evaluating a range of options to advance the development of the Oakajee infrastructure project and Jack Hills Expansion Project. Murchison believes that restructuring the ownership of OPR represents the best means of achieving a commercial outcome that meets the needs of all parties and would enable the projects to proceed. In our opinion, there appear to be a number of options being considered: Foundation customers eventually sign with OPR: In this case, OPR finalises agreements with foundation customers and proceeds with the development of the project, with JV partners Murchison and Mitsubishi funding the capital requirements for OPR and Crosslands. Given what has already transpired over the last few months, we would consider this option to be very unlikely now. In June 2011, key foundation customer Sinosteel Midwest announced that it had deferred development of its Weld Range project. Sinosteel Midwest confirmed to OPR that it was willing to engage in ongoing discussions but was seeking a revised tariff structure/model and further certainty on scheduling, including the date by which the port and rail infrastructure will be delivered. OPR is acquired by a third party who develops the project: Murchison noted in todays release that the progress made by OPR to date cannot be easily or quickly replicated and that any commercial outcome that would enable the project to be developed so as to provide the foundation customers with a route to market in the shortest possible timeframe would naturally take advantage of this pre-existing body of work and approvals. The implication is that there is a value to the work done by OPR in developing the project. We note that the joint venture spent up to A$400 million on the development of the intellectual property for both Oakajee and Crosslands over the last few years. Murchison noted that the company is actively engaging, or seeking to engage, with third parties in an effort to restructure the ownership of OPR. Murchison indicated that this contemplated involvement of other parties in the project assumed an inclusive, rather than exclusive, approach to project development. However, we believe it will more likely be an acquisitive action rather than cooperative. Murchison also noted in the release that WA Premier Colin Barnett had become actively involved in the process including initiatives to facilitate Chinese participation in the Oakajee project. We believe OPRs intellectual property is

We believe that that OPR signing foundation customers is very unlikely now

likely greatest to the Chinese with both Sinosteel Midwest (with the Weld Range Project) and Angang (with the Karara JV with Gindalbie) active in the area. OPR loses its rights to develop the project and is not actively involved any further: The sunset date for the implementation agreement is 31 December 2011. Given the inability for Murchison/Mitsubishi to fund the project, it appears highly unlikely that the agreement will be signed before the end of the year, in our view. This means that OPR will likely lose its rights to develop the project and the WA Government can pass those rights on to another party. Given the extent of work that OPR has done to date (and assuming OPR does not pass on its intellectual property), this process could put the project timeline back up to 2-3 years. The WA Government does have an option to acquire OPRs intellectual property for A$78 million but only if implementation agreements are not executed by 31 December 2011 due to a default or breach by OPR of its obligations. As noted by Murchison, failure to execute implementation agreements by the sunset date does not in itself result in a breach of the state development agreement. The development is abandoned: In March 2009, Premier Colin Barnett referred to Oakajee as the single most important project for Western Australias economic development over the next 50 years. While the economic feasibility of the iron ore projects in the region have been questioned following the events over the last 12 months, it seems highly unlikely that the WA Government will abandon its plans to develop Oakajee.

We believe Murchisons value is now solely in its intellectual property


We believe the most likely outcome is that Murchison is potentially acquired for the intellectual property that it has developed since OPR was appointed as the preferred proponent to build the port and rail infrastructure at Oakajee. While noting that the two JV partners have spent A$400 million on design and development work for OPR and Crosslands, it is unlikely in our view that they will see full value for that work. We therefore assign a value to MMX of 50c in the dollar or A$100m for its 50% share of the intellectual property at book value. Excluding the debt that is due to RCF of US$25m, we arrive with a valuation for Murchison of A$0.17 per share. Given the stock is trading for a premium to this valuation, we maintain our Underweight on the stock. We note that no value has been assigned to Crosslands and particularly MMXs share of the Jack Hills mine. The risks to our Underweight rating and PT are: 1) potential sale of either Jack Hills or OPR generating more than expected value; 2) changes to the scope of government funding for OPR; and 3) introduction of a strategic investor.

Overweight

Singapore Telecom
Downside hedged benefits from NBN, regional asset contributions to improve; upgrade to OW
We upgrade SingTel to Overweight with a Mar-13 price target of S$3.60 with a total return expectation of 20% (+14% capital appreciation based on our target FY13 P/E of 13x + 5% expected cash dividends during the next 12 months). Our price target is driven by two factors: 1) our EPS forecasts vs. street: we are 6% ahead for FY13; 2) the target FY13 earnings multiple currently at 11.9x and below the top of its normal trading range; we use 13.0x for our price target. The NBN should ultimately curtail competition and cement SingTel dominance: Many, including ourselves, have made much about the potential for Singapores National Broadband Network (NBN) project to increase competition and drive opportunities for infrastructure-lite competition. The facts, however, do not support this case. We believe the NBN will largely serve to cement SingTels dominance of the local market, potentially force Starhub into a Virgin Media (covered by JPM analyst Carl Murdock-Smith) type strategy, and lock M1 out of the mainstream market. Regional assets contributions to improve: We expect 12% growth in FY12 associate contributions for SingTel; driven by 20% growth at AIS and 15% at Bharti. The decline over FY11 was largely driven by appreciation of the Singapore dollar vs. local currencies. We expect 6% growth in Optuss EBIT contributions to SingTel in FY12. Potential for increased capital management: SingTel has the best balance sheet among Singapore telcos with a net debt/EBITDA (including associates) of 0.6x. Current dividend yield of 6% is more than covered by internal cash flows and we thus see potential for a special dividend as an upside risk. SingTel is trading at a 330bp spread to Singapore govt bonds vs. a historical high of 390bp. Key risks: Key downside risks include worse-than-expected pricing competition and lower-than-expected NBN market share.

Investment Summary
We upgrade SingTel to Overweight with a Mar-13 price target of S$3.60 with a total return expectation of 20% (+14% capital appreciation based on our target FY13 P/E of 13x + 5% expected cash dividends during the next 12 months). Our price target is driven by two factors: 1) our EPS forecasts vs. street: we are 6% ahead for FY13; 2) the target FY13 earnings multiple currently at 11.9x and below the top of its normal trading range; we use 13.0x for our price target. . We have rebuilt our Singapore models, incorporating NBN into our forecasts and have shifted our price target timeframe to Mar-13. The NBN should ultimately curtail competition and cement SingTel dominance: Many, including ourselves, have made much about the potential for Singapores National Broadband Network (NBN) project to increase competition and drive opportunities for infrastructure-lite competition. The facts, however, do not support this case. The NBN will largely serve to cement SingTels dominance of the local market, potentially force Starhub into a Virgin Media (covered by JPM analyst Carl Murdock-Smith) type strategy, and lock M1 out of the mainstream market. Please see our Singapore industry report published today in conjunction with this report for details. Regional assets contributions to improve: We expect 12% growth in FY12 associate contributions for SingTel; driven by 20% growth at AIS and 15% at Bharti. The decline over FY11 was largely driven by appreciation of the Singapore dollar vs. local currencies. We expect 6% growth in Optuss EBIT contributions to SingTel in FY12. Potential for increased capital management: SingTel has the best balance sheet among Singapore Telcos with a net debt/EBITDA (including associates) of 0.6x. Current dividend yield of 6% is more than covered by internal cash flows and we thus see potential for a special dividend as an upside risk. SingTel is trading at a 330bp spread to Singapore govt bonds vs. a historical high of 390bp. Key risks: Key downside risks include worse-than-expected pricing competition and lower-than-expected NBN market share.

Risks to our view


Pricing competition is worse than forecast: We do expect a degree of price compression which will reduce overall industry revenue growth rates moving forward, but are not forecasting an all out price war on a product by product basis. This is driven by the fact that a) bundles will increasingly drive this saturated, mature market, in our view, which theoretically limits product specific price discovery for consumers; b) Starhub and to a lesser degree M1 will face structurally lower NBN economics, which limits their ability to aggressively cut price without significantly impacting their own margins...not a guarantee that price competition will not get out of control, but clearly a limiting factor.

49

James R. Sullivan, CFA (65) 6882-2374 james.r.sullivan@jpmorgan.com

Asia Pacific Equity Research 21 October 2011

Forecast competitive dynamics are upended as Starhub pursues an alternative infrastructure approach: We suspect that a Virgin Media type strategy may in fact be the best long-term strategic option for the company, but as of yet see no signs that this will occur. Were this dynamic to change, we would expect a greater potential for a degree of price competition between Starhub and SingTel given StarHubs better economics. This could be somewhat restrained, however, by StarHubs desire to achieve a reasonable return on capex. A foreign operator takes control of M1 and introduces cross market competitive dynamics into the Singapore environment. We would not be shocked to see an operator such as Telstra (in order to have a counter balance to SingTel's Optus) or Axiata (already a 29.23% shareholder in M1, general offer is triggered at ) to eventually make a bid for the firm. This has the potential to introduce another layer of strategy into the Singapore market, which could be de-stabilizing. NIMS project creates unbundles content: The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), the Telecom industry regulator, has been actively pushing a program called the NextGen Interactive Multimedia Applications and Services program (NIMS), which provides for a common platform Set Top Box (STB). This could theoretically be used to completely unbundle content and reduce the role of SingTel and Starhub as Pay TV content aggregators. This program is at a very early stage of development, but is something we are watching closely. Worse-than-expected NBN market share: We expect SingTel to capture 60% of the total NBN market. We assume StarHub would account for 30% of the market while the remaining 10% would be M1. SingTels current fixed broadband market share is 42% while pay TV market share is 37% and less-than-expected share of NBN subs is thus a downside risk. Please see the table below for earnings sensitivity to NBN market share assumptions.

Valuation and share price analysis


Price target calculation
Our investment philosophy has been simplified over the years. It is our belief that ultimately share prices are driven by earnings estimates, an assumption holding true for all of our coverage companies around the region. Our simple valuation methodology is that we believe only two things can mathematically move a share price: 1) changing earnings estimates; and 2) the multiple the market is willing to put on those earnings estimates. This structure allows us to focus our research on: 1) getting the numbers right; and 2) understanding what potential range of multiples the market might apply. A simple sum of the two leads to our price targets...i.e. if we have 10% upside to street EPS forecasts, and think there could be 15% multiple expansion, our total target return is 25%. This method allows us to capitalize on (hopefully) good fundamental research, but also allows us to understand market sentiment. If a multiple has expanded to previously unseen levels, either the business has changed or a lot of expectations have already been built into the share price. Our Dec-12 PT at S$3.6 is based on a sum of: 1) potential upside/(downside) to consensus EPS vs. JPM EPS estimates at +6%; and 2) our estimated multiple expansion/(contraction) at 9% based on peak P/E multiple. Our peak P/E multiple at 13.0x is based on the stocks historical trading range and expected future business changes.

Valuation
Our price target of S$3.6 implies a total return of +20% (14% capital appreciation and 5% dividend yield). Our share price target is driven by two aspects: 1) our EPS forecasts vs. the Street; we are 6% above for 2012 EPS; and 2) target earnings multiple; shares are at 11.9x, we use a 13.0x multiple for our PT.

As per the J.P. Morgan vs. consensus table below, we see 6% upside to Street's 2012 EPS estimates for SingTel. EPS estimates have been revised down 5% YTD for SingTel, driven to a large extent by appreciation of the Singapore dollar. We expect the trend to reverse given business fundamentals have been strong across Singapore, Australia, India and Thailand.

We run full discounted cash flow analysis on all of our companies, but do not use this analysis to specifically set target prices. Our experience has been that the heavy retail participation in most Southeast Asian markets leaves P/E multiples, and the upside to street + upside to multiple approach described above a more effective way of forecasting future share price movements. We instead use DCF analysis as another gauge of market sentiment, by back calculating what discount rate is implied by the current share price. A high discount rate would be indicative of either a) a very risky business / market, or b) an excessively pessimistic sentiment applied by the market. SingTel's share price currently implies a lower discount rate relative to Starhub and M1. This appears fair given both SingTel's greater revenue diversification outside of Singapore and the fact that it is likely a share gainer due to the NBN, but also given its status as a large cap stock (S$50.2B vs. STH at S$4.9B, and M1 at S$2.2B) with a much larger index inclusion then STH or M1 (ST at 10.14% of STI vs. STH at 0.79% and M1 at 0%).

Australia-Optus
Whats changed in the past 12 months? Telstras (the incumbent operator in Australia) reassertion in the Mobile (+1.1% market share) and Fixed Broadband markets (+1.4%) has undeniably been the main development in the Australian Telecom market over the past year. This was driven by a significant reinvestment by Telstra (c. A$1bn) in customers acquisition and retention costs but also helped by Vodafone network severe congestion issues and subsequent customer dissatisfaction (loss of -400k customers in 2H11) during the year. Optus remained reasonably resilient throughout the year with most of Telstras market share gains coming at the expense of other players (Vodafone in Mobile, Layer 2 ISPs in Fixed).

What is the driver for the sector / operator for the next 12 months? In mobile, wireless data consumption driven by strong smartphone adoption (c. 30%+ mkt penetration) and continued mobile broadband take-up is likely to continue to drive mid to high single digit mobile in revenue growth. A likely reduction in Mobile Termination rate (60% reduction over next 2 years proposed by the Regulator) is likely to drive a moderation in mobile industry growth (JPMe mobile market growth of +6%) in FY12-13. In Fixed line, the carriers main focus will be on preparing for the migration to NBN and possibly on consolidation ahead of the NBN roll-out (e.g. TPG/IIN ). Key issues that investors need to be aware of for the next 12-24 months Key issues in the Australian Telecom market in the next 12-24 months: NBN: with NBNco expected to launch core wholesale products commercially in 2012, the migration to the new NBN market environment will be the main focus in the Fixed line segment. Mobile termination rate reduction: the Regulator (ACCC) has recently launched a review on a proposed reduction in termination rates (9cpm today going to 6cpm from 3.6cpm. Competitive environment : Following the well publicized network/customer issues in 2011, Vodafone is likely to try to re-assert itself in the market place though price based competition.

We are positive on the business for Bharti in India, AIS in Thailand while Globe has been gaining back revenue market share from PLDT in the Philippines. Recent lower contributions from associates to SingTel were largely a function of large appreciation of the Singapore dollar. Telkomsels operations in Indonesia are expected to remain weak due to heavy competition in the industry. Please see below for links to detailed recent J.P.

Suring up its funding

Previous: A$3.92

Considering the uncertainty surrounding funding from a global perspective, PRYs announcement that it had refinanced its syndicated debt facility at ~225 bps above BBSY is an impressive outcome. Attention now squarely shifts to its operational performance with Medical Centres remaining a key value driver. To date, we have not noticed an obvious improvement in PRY's Medical Centre division despite managements apparent success in recruiting additional GPs. Maintain Neutral recommendation. PRY announced that it has refinanced its syndicated bank debt facility, which was due to mature in Dec-12. The syndicate lending group reduced to 8 banks refinanced $1.02b, including 1) $770m 3 year 4 month non-amortising facility maturing Feb-15, at 225bps above BBSY, 2) $100m 3 year 4 month revolving working capital facility maturing Feb-15, at 225bps above BBSY, and 3) $150m 5 year non-amortising facility maturing Oct-16, at 250bps above BBSY. This is a ~75bp improvement on the 300bp margin on the previous facility. Increasing future cash flows augmented by a slowdown in capex and reduced dividend payout ratio have no doubt helped PRY secure this reduction. Interest expense for FY12 is expected to be ~$83m ($44m for 1H12, and $39m for 2H12). Amortisation of borrowing costs will be $14.5m for FY12E, bringing the total interest cost to $97.5m. Amortisation of borrowing costs will reduce to ~$4.5m in FY13E. PRYs refinancing was slightly better than we were expecting, however relative to the companys guidance on interest cost we have not had to change our forecasts mainly due to the small increase in the borrowing. The downgrade we process in FY12 relates to the fast tracking of amortised borrowing costs associated with the original facility. Encouragingly borrowing cost fees appear to have fallen demonstrating a willingness of banks to lend to Healthcare companies within Australia.

Share Price Target


We revise our Jun-12 share price target for PRY from $3.92 to $3.87 on the back of earnings revisions made in this note. Our share price target is based on a DCF methodology (terminal growth assumption of 2.5%, WACC 9.7%). Our share price target implies the stock will be trading on a 12-month forward P/E of ~13.7x our earnings forecasts at this time. Risks to our share price target and Neutral rating could come from further Symbion acquisition integration problems, market share losses or gains, further unfavourable changes to Government policy, industry growth rates significantly above or below historical levels, or potential acquisitions.

Initiation

Macy's, Inc.
Winning at Its Own Game; Core Long Term Holding; Initiating with Overweight
We are initiating coverage of Macys with an Overweight rating and December 2012 $36 price target. Macys represents a core long term holding and strong multi-year investment opportunity given among the strongest arsenals of top-line (My Macys, Omni-Channel) and margin drivers (price optimization) in retail today, best-in-class management, and more than reasonable valuation (9.4x P/E & 5.0x EBITDA). Multi-year investment with drivers properly aligned: With top-line drivers My Macy's, Direct growth, and Magic selling in early innings and Omni-Channel a 2013 driver (~2% SSS lift for JWN), we see sustainable 3.0%-5.0% comps for 3-5 years. On margins, we see 215bps of expansion through 2013 and view 15% EBITDA (13% today / mgmt goal of 14-15%) as realistic given inventory management, credit, private and exclusive growth, and price optimization drivers. Winning at its own game. Macy's has recently separated itself from moderate peers JCP/KSS, in our view. While the promotional environment continues to heat up, we believe M can and will continue to win by focusing on its own strategy (brand, price, quality trio) via internal initiatives (My Macys, Omni-Channel, Magic Selling). With a best in class management team (in our view) and continued innovation, we believe M can reach former peak productivity levels over time. 2H11 EPS potential upside minimal, but does not derail the story. We see minimal EPS upside over the next two quarters ($0.01 and $0.02 above the Street in 3Q and 4Q11) given free shipping and online/Omni-channel spending. While below the trailing six quarter average $0.06 beat, this does not derail the story as we see 2012 EPS of $3.15 (vs. Street at $3.04) driven by 3.6% SSS, GPM -11bps, SG&A $ up 2.8%, and $250mil in buybacks with additional upside levers, in our view. Balance sheet strength with 9.5% FCF yield provides support. With annual estimated FCF generation of $1.7 bil for the next 3 years and $1.5bil on hand, Macys balance sheet is a far cry from 2008. With debt ratios in line, Ms priority is shareholder returns and we see an increased focus on share buybacks post-holiday as a catalyst.

Investment Thesis
Macys Inc (M)
Overweight

Multi-year story with drivers properly aligned The pace of Macys top-line turnaround has been impressive, in our view, with monthly comps averaging 5.6% year to date and +3.4% over the past 24 months (since August 09), exceeding the trailing two year average of -4.7% (Aug 2007-July 2009) by a delta of 810 basis points. With top-line momentum building and strategic and merchandising drivers in early innings (My Macys, Omni-channel, Magic selling), we believe top-line strength is sustainable for the next few years. 2013 represents the next leg in the margin storyline We believe Macys has among the top lineups of margin drivers over the next several years with price optimization, My Macys, and Omni-Channel all in early innings. We are modeling 215bps of EBIT margin expansion over the next three years to 9.8% in 2013 (from 7.7% in 2010) a level we feel could prove conservative. The company has provided a longer term goal of 14-15% EBITDA margin (we model 13.6% in 2013 from 12.3% today), which we believe is more than realistic over time given inventory management, continued credit benefit, private and exclusive growth, and price optimization (2013) drivers. Winning at its own game Macy's has recently separated itself from the moderate pack, particularly peers JCPenney and Kohl's. While the promotional environment continues to heat up - we believe Macy's can and will continue to win through focusing on its own strategy (brands, price, quality trio) and through internal initiatives (My Macys, OmniChannel, and Magic Selling). With what we view as a best in class management team, we believe Macys will continue to drive innovation that will prove essential on closing the productivity gap from former peak sales per square foot levels. $1.7 billion in free cash flow should provide increased flexibility Over the past three years Macys has transformed the face of its balance sheet, increasing its cash on hand from $583 million at the end of 2007 to $1.5 billion today while at the same time paying down roughly $2.6 billion in long term debt. Placing a priority on the capital structure with a focus on investment grade again, management is actively tracking their credit ratios (leverage ratio and interest coverage in line today). Looking forward, we are modeling free cash flow generation of $1.7 billion per annum over the next three years, which should provide a lot of dry powder to significantly increase shareholder returns through share repurchases and dividends catalysts we see on the horizon post the upcoming holiday. Lease by lease rationalization looks prudent w bloomy outlets NT driver Consistent with the past two years, we expect Macys to continue to prune its store base in a rational manner (a few stores per year) as leases come due. Specifically, the company closed four stores in 2010 and plans to close two incremental stores in 2011. Looking forward, we believe Macy's will review each store from a productivity and profitability standpoint as leases expire and close doors that fall below set thresholds, but do not anticipate a large closing announcement. For the time being, Macys new Bloomingdales outlet concept (4 today) remains the growth vehicle (25K sq ft) with 3-5 openings per year planned.

Valuation we see upside to both the multiple and "E" At 9.4x EPS and 5.0x 2012E EBITDA, M trades among the cheapest names in retail, which given the current disconnect between sustainable EPS growth (mid-teens+) and current market multiple creates a compelling entry point today, in our view. While the company has posted industry leading top-line results, cut its expense base by $550 million, and reduced debt on the books by $2.6 billion over the past three years, we believe Macy's valuation metrics are not reflective of a continued turnaround story. Our December 2012 price target is $36, representing 22% upside from here, which is based on 11.5x our 2012 EPS of $3.15. Our target multiple of 11.5x represents a 9.5% premium to the companys 3-year historical average, which we believe is appropriate given the turnaround effort is in early innings with current initiatives (My Macys, Direct) in place, and the next leg up with same-store-sales and margins in 2013 as the impact of price optimization and Omni-Channel begin to show up in the company results .

Risks to Rating and Price Target


Economic climate The economic climate, particularly the employment picture, can affect consumer spending and the department store industry. A greater than expected downturn in household spending could cause sales trends to decelerate below our current assumptions rendering our estimates too high. Competition A change in the competitive landscape as related to promotional activity particularly from moderate peers JCP and KSS could negatively impact same-store-sales growth. Increased inventory Greater inventory availability in the department store channel, particularly from Kohl's and JCPenney could result in excess clearance markdowns negatively impacting gross margin more than we are current modeling.

Playing and Winning at Its Own Game


Emerging from the recession in 2009, Macy's initiated a strategy to strengthen the organization for the long term focused on sustainable top-line growth, increased profitability, and improved free cash flow. Over the past three years, Macy's rolled out the My Macy's localization initiative, reduced its expense base by roughly $550 million (largely permanent in nature: central office expenses, workforce management, distribution staff), and paid down over $2.6 billion in debt. In the stores, Macys initiated successful change through basic Retail 101 blocking and tackling localizing its assortments, focusing its advertising, and improving its offering through fashion and newness (i.e. INC, Tommy Hilfiger, Martha Stewart Collection). Specifically, the My Macy's localization effort has helped to put the right product on the floor by region and store level at the right time and in the appropriate quantity - improving sales and limiting clearance markdowns. Importantly, during a time of company transition and an increasingly competitive environment, management has stuck to the game plan, executing on top-line, margin, and balance sheet initiatives, which we believe has bolstered credibility and confidence in the turnaround effort. Looking forward, we believe additional market share remains up for grabs and see Macy's as the primary beneficiary.

Separating from Peers in the Moderate Space


While price competition is increasing (KSS and JCP both speaking to sharpening price points), we believe Macy's has taken the steps over the past three years to effectively tailor its assortment at the store level with the right mix of quality private label and national brands at compelling prices. As illustrated in Table 3 below, the spread between Macys same-store sales and JCPenney/Kohls has widened to 437 basis points over the past 12 months (versus the past two years). Three key reasons, in our view: (1) Sharper price points and laddered assortment of good-better-best private label and national brands, (2) Higher level of fashion/newness, (3) Tailored assortments to the local demographic (colors, sizing, styling).

Sticking to the Playbook Key to Continued Share Gains


While we acknowledge investor concerns that a more promotional environment is a net negative for all, we believe Macys has the ability to navigate best, given that it is sticking to its game plan. To this end, company specific top-line drivers include (1) My Macys Localization, (2) Omni-Channel, (3) Magic Selling - all of which remain in early innings today.

Recession Analysis Highlights $1.2bil Lost Volume


While Macy's turnaround initiatives have borne fruit over the past few years, the company's top line remains 7.3% below pre-recession levels (2006). In table 4 below, we point out that Macys lost $3.2 billion in top-line sales during the course of the recession from 2007 to 2009. While cognizant of numerous external factors impacting top-line sales since that time, Macys sales increased over $2.0 billion through September 2011, representing 64% of the volume lost during the recession. Fully recognizing that a portion of share lost during the recession may not be recovered, we believe this analysis points to continued opportunity looking forward.

Multi-Year Story with Top-Line Initiatives in Early Innings


The pace of Macys top-line turnaround has been impressive with monthly comps averaging 5.6% year to date and +3.4% over the past 24 months (since August 09), exceeding the trailing two year average of -4.7% (Aug 2007-July 2009) by a delta of 810 basis points. With top-line momentum building and strategic and merchandising drivers in early innings (My Macys, Omni-channel, Magic selling), we believe topline strength is sustainable for the next few years. As illustrated below, we have put together a bottoms-up same-store-sales component build for 2012 and see comps up 3.6% - a rate that we believe is conservative (particularly the Omni-Channel,. My Macys, and Direct sales contribution), but prudent at this juncture given an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop.

3 Strategic Initiatives Driving the Turnaround


Macys has implemented three key strategic initiatives within the last 3 years to turnaround its lagging sales (2007-2009 run-rate of -3.8%). These include (1) The My Macys Localization Program, (2) Omni-channel/Direct, and (3) Magic Selling. Initiative 1: My Macys Localization Initiative Year 3 = 3rd/4th Inning Piloted in 2008 and rolled out chain-wide in early 2009, the My Macys localization program is currently in year three, with benefits remaining in only the 3rd or 4th inning. In a nutshell, the My Macys initiative aims to optimize selling by focusing on tailoring merchandise assortments to specific demographics and demand at the local market or store level. To this end, inventory is controlled locally based on demand facilitating increased levels of full-price selling and limited clearance markdowns. In the process, 49 new store districts were created, bringing the total to 69 today with managers having more autonomy in the field (10-12 stores each versus 16-23 in the past).

Initiative 2: Omni-channel Integration Effort = 1st Inning Launched in 2010, Macy's Omni-Channel initiative is geared toward integrating inventory management across all channels (stores, online, mobile) to allow customers a seamless shopping experience. With internet sales of $1.3 billion as of 2010 (5% of sales), direct growth has become a significant driver of total company same-storesales (modeling 0.75% comp lift in 2012 versus 0.9% in 2010 and 1-1.5% in 2011), raising the importance of this initiative. Specifically, the initiative is three pronged (1) Search & Send, (2) Store to Door, and (3) Site to Store to Door. First, Search & Send (23 stores today with 150 planned by 2012 end) facilitates purchases not available in-store through utilization of online inventory. Secondly, store to door

(currently in testing phase) provides sales associates with access to inventory across the store base, which we see not only as a means of satisfying demand, but also an additional tool to manage per store inventory more efficiently. Finally, Macys Site to Store to Door program (2H11 roll-out) allows online buys to be fulfilled using instore inventory, treating the stores more/less as fulfillment centers. Additional mobile technology initiatives include (1) iShop (shopping application for the iPhone), and (2) Shopkick (location based shopping application). Initiative 3: MAGIC Selling Implemented in 2010, Magic selling is an enhanced associate training program aimed at accelerating sales through focus on increased conversion. Sales associates are trained in selling through the following steps: Meet & Make a Connection; Ask Questions and Listen, Give Options, Give Advice; Inspire to Buy and Sell More; and Celebrate the Purchase.

Merchandising Initiatives Hitting Its Stride


Over the past few years, Macys has worked to revitalize the store experience through improving its private brand offering, and increasing its fashion/newness element through exclusive launches and improving the presentation and display of key national brands. Private and exclusive brands currently represent 43% of sales today (20% private label & 23% exclusive). Importantly, in 2010, private and exclusive brands outperformed national brands, which we attribute to strength from (1) strength in INC and American Rag, (2) compelling initial price point offerings of Karen Scott, and (3) continued strength of exclusives Tommy, and Martha Stewart. Looking forward, we expect to hear of continued additions to the exclusives portfolio, including recent additions Karl Lagerfield capsule collection, Bar III, and Impulse Beauty. In addition, we will be monitoring progress on in-store initiatives that include the relaunch of Charter Club over the next few months.

Rising AUR+ Stable Traffic = A Powerful Combination


With average unit retail (AUR) rising given price increases from higher materials costs (i.e. cotton), we believe it is increasingly important to monitor traffic levels at the department stores as a proxy for demand. With AUR up 4% in 2Q11 and guidance calling for a 5-7% increase in 2H11, stability in traffic will be very important to monitor closely.

Productivity Levels Improving But Still Substantial Room


Following five years of consecutive declines (2005-2009) from $185 to $155 per square foot, Macy's sales per square foot improved by 4.6% in 2010 and we are modeling further productivity improvement over the next two years. Specifically, we are modeling sales per square foot of $179 in 2012 - an 11% improvement from 2010, but still 5% below its near-term peak of $188 in 2004. Given the My Macys localization initiative, increased penetration of direct sales, Omni-channel's multiyear opportunity and Magic selling, we do not see 2004s productivity levels as a ceiling by any means.

15% EBITDA Margin Realistic Over Time


We are modeling 215bps of EBIT margin expansion over the next three years to 9.8% in 2013 (7.7% in 2010) a level we feel could prove conservative. Driving the projected expansion would be continued SG&A leverage to an estimated 30.6% of sales offset partially by gross margin compression of 25 basis points. Importantly, the company has provided a longer term goal of 14-15% EBITDA margin (we model 13.6% in 2013 from 12.3% today), which we believe is more than realistic with 15% reasonable over time Looking forward, we believe SG&A expense leverage will continue to be the workhorse over the next several years driven by fixed cost leverage at a 1-2% comp (given permanent cost cuts), improved credit metrics, and more efficient advertising. We are modeling 31 basis points of gpm compression over the next two years given higher product costs and free shipping headwinds, but believe price optimization, private brand expansion, omni-channel benefits, and further My Macys levers could help to turn GPM positive in 2013 (not currently modeling).

2013 Potential Gross Margin Inflection- NOT in Our Model


We are modeling roughly 25 basis points of gross margin degradation over the next two years as we expect inflationary product costs, free shipping as online becomes a larger piece of the pie, and a promotional backdrop to mute tailwinds from My Macys and private and exclusive brand expansion. While we are modeling flattish in 2013 we believe the initial benefits of price optimization/zone pricing represents a potential upside lever to our model. Below we outline the drivers and headwinds of gross margin over the next three years: Private & Exclusive Brand Expansion: Macy's penetration of private and exclusive brands (modestly higher GPM) currently stands at 43% (20% private label and 23% exclusive), below peers Kohl's at 53% and JCPenney at 55%. As illustrated in Table 10 below, the company's private label penetration of 20% stands below peers (KSS at 35% / JCP at 49%). Given its success with exclusives such as Tommy Hilfiger and

My Macys Localization Initiative: Through localizing product assortments and focusing its buying, the My Macys initiative has resulted in more full-priced selling and improved inventory management through reduced clearance markdowns and higher inventory turns. Importantly, management believes this initiative remains in only the 3rd or 4th inning today and we see gross margin benefits over the next several years. Price Optimization is the Catalyst for Potential 2013 GPM Expansion: While just in early testing phase today, Macys plans to rollout its price optimization initiative in stages over the course of 2012. While not modeling, we expect initial benefits of Macys price optimization initiative to begin to benefit the income statement in 4Q12 (minimal) with more meaningful upside potential in 2013 and beyond. This technology enhancement should allow Macys to manage the timing and level of markdowns on a regional basis. While too early to quantify financial benefits, it is worth pointing out that Kohl's saw several hundred basis points of gross margin improvement since initial rollout of similar technology in 2006. Free Shipping and Rising Product Costs Headwinds For Now: In January 2011 Macys implemented free shipping on orders exceeding $99 online. While the company will fully lap this gross margin headwind in early 2012, the free shipping headwind should moderate, but remain to an extent given a higher growth rate of online sales (30-40%) versus in-store sales (+MSD) today. On rising product costs, Macys (like all retailers) is facing higher costs of goods given rising input costs and labor rates overseas. To offset a portion of this margin pressure, average unit retail (AUR) is planned up 5-7% in 2H11. While this raises the risk profile regarding customer acceptance, demand elasticity remained favorable to initial price increases through wave one in 2Q.

SG&A Remains an Area for Opportunity Ahead


While Macys has cut roughly $550 million in expenses since the 2006 divisional consolidation (largely permanent in nature), we see drivers for continued SG&A leverage over the next several years. Primary drivers include (1) sales leverage at a 12% comp, continued credit benefits, lower depreciation, and more efficient

advertising. Offsetting a portion of the upside, we are modeling higher pension and workers compensation expenses and have built in spending for the company's direct growth and Omni-Channel initiative. All in, we are modeling an increase in core SG&A expenses of $340 million over the next two years (2011/2012), representing leverage (as a % of sales) of 124 basis points in 2011 and 65 bps in 2012.

Deep Dive Analysis Highlights Pockets Of Opportunity


In Table 11 below, we broke down Macys SG&A expense structure and created a bottom's up build for forward looking model projections. Looking forward, we see 189 basis points of leverage through 2012. FC Hurdle Rate Below 2% Allows For Continued Leverage With $490 million of expenses (ex depreciation/advertising) pulled from the company's operating structure, Macys has been able to reduce the comp needed to leverage fixed expenses from roughly 3% before the consolidation to 1-2% today. As such, we are modeling core leverage of approximately 50 basis points per annum over the next two years. Credit Tailwind to Continue with Diminishing Level of Benefit Given improving credit portfolio metrics, Macys has recently benefited from improved credit income (+$9.0 mil in 2010), following three years of decline. Specifically, credit income declined $203 million from 2.0% of sales in 2006 to 1.3% of sales in 2010. Notably, the company has reported an improvement of $82 million in 1H 2011 and anticipates continued gains (diminishing rate) looking forward. We are modeling a credit tailwind of $127 million in 2011 and are conservatively estimating a $38 million benefit in 2012. More Efficient Use of Advertising Given increased digital advertising and more targeted efforts (via Dunhumby partnership), Macys was able to reduce ad spend by $15 million in 2010 and we see continued opportunity (yet at a declining rate) going forward. For reference, Macys ad spend (as a % of sales) has remained fairly constant, standing at 4.2% today. Pension, Workers Comp and Online/Omni-Channel Spending Partial Offsets Over the next two years, we are modeling pension and workers compensation headwinds of $45 million and $63 million, respectively. In addition, we are modeling

Over the past three years, Macys has transformed the face of its balance sheet, increasing its cash on hand from $583 million at the end of 2007 to $1.5 billion today while at the same time paying down roughly $2.6 billion in debt. Placing a priority on the capital structure and to achieve investment grade rating again, management is actively tracking their credit ratios (leverage ratio and interest coverage). Looking forward, we are modeling free cash flow generation of $1.7 billion per annum over the next three years, which should provide a lot of dry powder to increase shareholder returns through share repurchases and dividends.

FCF Generation of $1.7 billion for the Next 3 Years


We are modeling annual free cash flow generation of roughly $1.7 billion over the next three years (2011-2013E), which is more than three times its free cash flow generation just three years ago (2008). With $1.5 billion of cash on hand as of 2Qend, this level of free cash flow should provide substantial dry powder for share repurchases and/or increased dividends in 2012.

$250 million in 2012, assumptions which we believe likely prove conservative (particularly 2012E). In Table 10 at left, we outline three possible scenarios for 2012 share repurchases. Dividend Is Another Lever to Increase Shareholder Returns In February 2009, Macys board of directors elected to reduce the companys quarterly dividend from 13.25 cents to 5 cents in an effort to conserve cash flow. Given increased confidence in their business and strength of recent financial results, Macy's management doubled the quarterly dividend to 10 cents in conjunction with their 1Q11 EPS release in May 2011. Looking ahead, we believe Macys will further increase its dividend allocation, given sustained free cash flow, over the next several years.

Inventory Control Key to Working Capital Management


From 2006-2009, Macys reduced its inventory per square foot by roughly 10% and improved its inventory turnover from 3.0x to 3.2x today. Largely driven by the My Macys localization effort, in our view, Macys has been able to maintain better control of merchandise by region and location limiting excess inventory build. Looking ahead, as illustrated in Figure 7 below, we believe Macy's will close the gap with peers JCP and KSS (average of 3.6x) over the next several years.

Debt Paydown Reduces Risk Profile


Macys has paid down over $2.6 billion of debt over the past three years, reducing its debt to capital ratio from 67.6% in 2008 to 54.3% as of 2Q11 (56% adjusted for leases). Looking ahead, the company has $1.1 billion of debt coming due in 2012 and $2.4 billion due through 2015, which we anticipate the company to pay down using its ample free cash flow generation of roughly $1.7 billion per annum.

Lease by Lease Rationalization Prudent with Bloomy Outlets NT Driver


Consistent with the past two years, we expect Macys to continue to prune its store base in a rational manner (a few stores per year) as leases come due. Specifically, the company closed four stores in 2010 and plans to close two stores in 2011. Looking forward, we believe Macy's will review each store from a productivity and profitability standpoint as leases expire and close doors that fall below set thresholds, but do not anticipate a large store closing announcement.

Bloomingdales Outlets a New Vehicle


As of 2Q11, Macy's had opened four Bloomindales outlets (Paramus, NJ, Miami, FL, Woodbridge, VA, and Sunrise, FL), with three additional openings slated to open through the close of 2011. While the new 25,000 foot stores provide an additional sales channel for the company, they have also been successful at driving traffic into full-line Bloomingdales stores, according to management. Longer term, management has stated plans for a handful of openings each subsequent year. We highlight the pace of competitive growth of this format from Saks, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus below.

Financial Outlook
3Q EPS: Modeling a Penny Above Street Consensus We estimate 3Q11 EPS for Macys of $0.17, which stands only a penny above Street consensus. We are modeling same store sales of 4.5% - in line with managements revised guidance (September SSS release: High end of 4.0%-4.5%). On margins, we are modeling gross margin compression of 24 basis points to 39.70%, primarily given the free shipping online drag and see SG&A year-over-year dollar growth of 1.85% (versus 2Q up 1.18%). In addition, we have modeled share repurchases of $50 million (10Q: As of Aug 31 had repurchased 930mil shares for $23.8 million). 4Q EPS: See $1.68 Versus Street at $1.66 We estimate 4Q11 EPS of $1.68, which is $0.02 above the Street consensus estimate of $1.66. We model same store sales of 4.4% in line with 2H guidance of 4-4.5%. On margins, we see gross margin contraction of 14bps, which is in line with guidance for down slightly and greater contraction in 3Q than 4Q. SG&A year-overyear dollar growth is modeled up 3.0%, representing leverage of 37 basis points. Finally, we expect an increase in share repurchase activity post-holiday and are modeling $100 million in 4Q. Estimating $3.15 versus the Street at $3.04 for 2012E For 2012E, we model EPS of $3.15, which is $0.11 above the Street consensus of $3.04, and reflects 16.3% EPS growth YOY. We estimate same store sales growth of 3.6% (below 2011E of 5.3% given tougher compares). We estimate EBIT margin expansion of 51 bps, which is comprised of a gross margin contraction of 11 basis points offset by SG&A leverage of 62 basis points (+2.8% growth including extra week). We are also modeling share repurchases of $250 million, which likely proves conservative. Of note, 2012 includes an extra week of sales (53 week year), which we estimate adds roughly $355 million in sales and $113 million in associated SG&A, equating to a $0.07 EPS benefit.

Valuation
Macy's is currently trading at 9.4x our 2012 EPS estimate of $3.15, noticeably below moderate peers JCPenney (14.7x) and Kohl's (10.5x), and its more upscale competitors Nordstrom (14.0x) and Saks (19.5x). On an EV/EBITDA basis, the company is trading at 5.0x or 8%, below the department store average of 5.5x. While the company has posted industry leading top-line results, cut its expense base by $550 million, and reduced debt on the books by $2.6 billion over the past three years, Macy's valuation metrics are not reflective of a continued turnaround story, in our view. That said, we believe the turnaround effort not only has legs given current initiatives (My Macys, Direct) in place, but we see the next leg up with same-storesales and margins in 2013 as the impact of Price optimization and Omni-Channel begin to show up in the company results. Our December 2012 price target is $36, representing 22% upside from here, which is based on 11.5x our 2012 EPS estimate of $3.15. Specifically, our P/E multiple stands 100 basis points above the companys trailing three-year average, which we see fit given improving earnings prospects and upside versus Street estimates looking forward. On an EV/EBITDA basis, Macys is trading at 5.0x a 7% discount to its 3-year historical average.

Multiple and E Scenario Analysis Highlights Disconnect


In Table 20 below, we provide an upside/downside scenario analysis for 2012 earnings per share based on the primary model assumptions (comps, margins, buyback). With the current Street consensus at $3.04 and some conservatism built into our Base Model Case of $3.15, we like the risk reward of the stock here. With Street earnings revisions likely skewed to the upside in 2012 and top-line and margin drivers ahead in 2013, the turnaround story at Macys is set to continue to several years something the current valuation metrics are not incorporating today, in our view.
