Deutsche Bank Asian High Yield Research Highlights


China HY Industrials: Quick thoughts (d)

There seems to be a growing consensus that China has bottomed out on the macro front. This combined with Indonesia’s worsening outlook has meant
that China industrial bonds have outperformed and now trade inside their counterparts on average, having started the year trading wider. But risks
prevail. This is partly reflected in the wide gap between the most bullish and bearish forecast for China’s 2014 GDP growth at 8.6% and 6.7%
respectively (per Bloomberg). Even our recent conversations with companies under our coverage suggest that end demand is still at the lows – while
they have not worsened, they have also not improved. It’s hard to argue that the China industrial space offers value on a fundamental basis. While 1H’13
results showed some signs of improvement, it wasn’t meaningful. Many industrials are still small in size with high leverage, thin margins and less
transparent industries. But technicals are a different story given the short-dated nature of most of these bonds and lack of new supply. Many of them are
also callable starting next year, and if the markets are open, we would not be surprised to see some of them get replaced/exchanged with a
longer-dated bond. However, we prefer sticking to the bigger names, which interestingly are also the wider trading ones in some sectors.

Corporate Credit: Indonesia HY: down but not out(e)


Coal: Given our medium term cautious view on the coal sector, the bonds do not look particularly cheap to us. We believe BRAUIJ bonds offer the best
risk/reward in the longer term. We have a CreditSell recommendation on INDYIJ due to our expectation of cash drain by year end and weak dividend
contributions from subs. We believe investors should look at INDYIJ as a holdco and comp it to MLPLIJ and BHITIJ.
Property: We turn more neutral on the sector from a valuation perspective. However, taking a more top-down view some caution is still warranted for
fundamentals. ASRIIJ bonds offer best value in the sector, in our view. We are initiating coverage on KIJAIJ’18 with a CreditBuy as we expect results to
be supported by recurring revenues going forward. We are also initiating coverage on MDLNIJ’18 with a CreditHold. We lack long term conviction on
MDLNIJ with earnings heavily reliant on project sold to Alam Sutera. We think LPKRIJ bonds are expensive from a valuation perspective and downgrade
our recommendation to CreditSell from CreditHold.
