Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Sep 16, 2020

This story features AUSTAL LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: ASB

An additional news report on the recommendation, valuation, forecast and opinion changes for ASX-listed equities.

In addition to The Australian Broker Call Report, which is published and updated daily (Mon-Fri), FNArena has now added The Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition, featuring additional sources of research and insights on ASX-listed stocks, also enlarging the number of stocks that make up the FNArena universe.

One key difference is the *Extra* Edition will not be updated daily, but merely "regularly" depending on availability of suitable quality content. As such, the *Extra* Edition tries to build a bridge between daily updates via the Australian Broker Call Report and ad hoc news stories, that are not always timely for investors hungry for the next information update.

Investors using the *Extra* Edition as a source of input for their own share market research should thus take into account that information after publication may not be up to date, or yet awaiting another update by FNArena's team of journalists.

Similar to The Australian Broker Call Report, this *Extra* Edition includes concise but limited reviews of research recently published by Stockbrokers and other experts, which should be considered as information concerning likely market behaviour rather than advice on the securities mentioned. Do not act on the contents of this Report without first reading the important information included at the end of this Report.

The Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition is a summary that has been prepared independently of the sources identified. Readers will check the full text of the recommendations and consult a Licenced Advisor before making any investment decision.

The copyright of this Report is owned by the publisher. Readers will not copy, forward or disseminate this Report to any other person. For more vital information about the sources included, see the bottom of this Report.

APD    APN PROPERTY GROUP

Real Estate – Overnight Price: $0.53

Moelis rates ((APD)) as Reinstate coverage with Buy (1) –

APN Property Group's FY20 operating earnings were up circa 6% over FY19 with funds under management (FUM) of $2.7bn led by growth in APN Industria REIT and APN Convenience Retail REIT, although offset somewhat by a reduction in property security FUM due to covid-19.

Dividend guidance for FY21 is 2.5-2.8c, less than FY20's 3.15c. The broker notes the primary drivers are costs related to the launch of the Global REIT Income fund and the reduction in A-REIT FUM.

The broker believes the second half marks a low point for earnings with the company set to benefit from operating leverage as the business goes back to growth mode.

Moelis reinstates coverage with a Buy rating and a target price of $0.66.

ASB    AUSTAL LIMITED

Commercial Services & Supplies – Overnight Price: $3.29

Goldman Sachs rates ((ASB)) as Buy (1) –

Austal's FY20 results were solid and highlight the company’s defensive earnings profile, observes Goldman Sachs.

The broker considers Austal's multi-year outlook attractive with its investment thesis based on the underappreciated market perception of Austal's shipbuilding's strategic importance to the US Navy.

With the result, these drivers have been incrementally confirmed prompting Goldman Sachs to reiterate its Buy rating with the target price rising to $4.35 from $4.08.

AVN    AVENTUS GROUP

REITs – Overnight Price: $2.34

Moelis rates ((AVN)) as Buy (1) –

Aventus Group's FY20 earnings were down about -1% versus last year, considered a solid result by Moelis considering the impact of covid-19.

The broker notes the operating performance held up much better than expected. Rent collections were strong with circa 87% of rent collected through the covid-19 period between March-June.

The group did not provide any guidance but expects to reinstate distributions. The broker highlights there seems to be a preference to be conservative seen in the 66% payout ratio to help shore up the balance sheet.

Looking at the resilience of rent collections, the broker expects the payout ratios will be back to more normalised levels.

Expecting Aventus will continue to find yield support, Moelis reinstates coverage with a Buy rating and a target price of $2.43.

BIN    BINGO INDUSTRIES LIMITED

Industrial Sector Contractors & Engineers – Overnight Price: $2.30

Goldman Sachs rates ((BIN)) as Neutral (3) –

Bingo Industries reported a FY20 result slightly ahead of Goldman Sachs expectations. The report highlights to the broker an ability to effectively manage operations in challenging conditions.

The outlook commentary suggests macroeconomic headwinds will persist in FY21. This leads Goldman Sachs to lower EPS forecasts for FY21 and FY22 by -6.7% and -2.7%, respectively.

The analyst expects earnings to start to recover in FY22 and is comfortable the long-term strategy remains firmly intact.

The Neutral rating is unchanged and the target price is increased to $2.35 from $2.25

Shaw and Partners rates ((BIN)) as Hold (3) –

Bingo Industries announced a much stronger-than-expected FY20 result, according to Shaw and Partners.

The broker believes the company is perhaps being too conservative and cautious with respect to FY21 earnings (EBITDA) guidance.

The analyst places the result into some perspective by showing group margin diminution over time. In FY18 it was 30.8% and then fell to 26.9% in FY19, before strongly bouncing back to a robust 31.3% in FY20.

The Hold rating is unchanged and the target price is increased to $2.50 from $2.40.

Health & Nutrition – Overnight Price: $63.69

Wilsons rates ((BKL)) as Market Weight (3) –

Blackmores reported a profit (NPAT) of $18m, moderately below Wilsons' expectations. This was considered driven by China Exports and BioCeuticals, combined with a bigger than expected impact from raw material price increases.

There was no explicit guidance, but management expects profit growth in FY21, primarily driven by the second half.

Wilsons sees the success of Singles Day in China as an important near-term catalyst to rejuvenate the brand.

The Market Weight rating is unchanged. The target price is decreased to $64 from $70.5.

REITs – Overnight Price: $0.81

Moelis rates ((ERF)) as Reinstate coverage with Buy (1) –

Impacted by covid-19, Elanor Retail Property Fund's FY20 funds from operations were down -9% versus last year. Moelis reports net tangible assets (NTA) fell -10% with valuations declining at Tweed Mall, Manning Mall and Gladstone Square.

Moeils believes this is a short term impact and will be recouped. The broker believes there to be a significant upside to the fund's share price provided a successful asset recycling program were to be executed.

GEM    G8 EDUCATION LIMITED

Childcare – Overnight Price: $1.00

Moelis rates ((GEM)) as Buy (1) –

G8 Education's first-half operating income was above consensus expectation with the second quarter supported by government subsidies, reports Moelis. Spot August occupancy levels at 69% were ahead of the broker's estimates.

The broker notes G8 Education's Singapore-based centres will be divested in the second half since they have been only marginally profitable.

2020 operating income is estimated to be $102m, helped by the JobKeeper and government transition payments in the third quarter ensuring a stronger second half.

MNF    MNF GROUP LIMITED

Telecommunication – Overnight Price: $4.79

Canaccord Genuity rates ((MNF)) as Buy (1) –

Canaccord Genuity believes the profit release for MNF Group may have disappointed some who were expecting a beat. However, that view is missing major structural benefits regarding increased activity by the company's new generation customers.

The second half confirms to the analyst the positive trends in the company's Global Wholesale business. No quantitative guidance was provided.

NAN    NANOSONICS LIMITED

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $5.91

Bell Potter rates ((NAN)) as Downgrade to Sell from Hold (5) –

FY20 revenue and earnings (EBIT) were below Bell Potter’s estimates for Nanosonics.

Revenues in the final four months of the fiscal year were significantly impacted by covid-19 closures of medical facilities in all key markets, notes the broker. This also resulted in a -20% decline in consumables sales during the fourth quarter.

There was a 35% increase in operating expenses relative to the 13% increase in revenues, which the broker states is clearly not sustainable. A large portion of the increase was R&D, which is yet to generate any revenue from a second product.

The analyst includes a large discount on the future revenues attached to product launches, which have again been delayed and deferred to FY22 from FY21.

The rating is downgraded to Sell from Hold. The target price is decreased to $4.95 from $5.52.

This report was published on August 25, 2020.

Canaccord Genuity rates ((NAN)) as Hold (3) –

Nanosonics reported a lower-than-expected result, which wasn’t surprising to Canaccord Genuity in the circumstances.

The ‘miss’ was in the consumable/service revenue lines. The broker explains the outcome could have been a lower profit, were it not for the quick circa -$4m cost reduction in the fourth quarter, relative to guidance.

A key point for the analyst relates to the ‘new product’ which has been pushed out at least another year.

The outlook for FY21 appears modest to Canaccord Genuity with a soft first half reflecting conditions in the fourth quarter FY20, with a rebound in the second half of FY21.

PME    PRO MEDICUS LIMITED

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $26.02

Goldman Sachs rates ((PME)) as Neutral (3) –

There were no material surprises for Goldman Sachs in the FY20 results from Pro Medicus. The broker calculates transaction volumes still average around 90% of pre-pandemic utilisation, but are returning.

The company has continued to sign new contracts and complete implementations broadly on time.

PPE    PEOPLE INFRASTRUCTURE LTD

Jobs & Skilled Labour Services – Overnight Price: $2.80

Moelis rates ((PPE)) as Buy (1) –

People Infrastructure's underlying earnings (EBITDA) were above guidance, following a strong rebound in performance across May and June, notes Moelis.

The analyst estimates FY21 earnings of $30.6m, which assumes the business returns to pre-covid-19 output across quarters 2Q-4Q.

Mining Sector Contracting – Overnight Price: $0.30
