Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Mar 02, 2021

Daily Market Reports | Mar 02 2021

This story features CODAN LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: CDA

Dear Reader: As part of FNArena's coverage of the February reporting season in Australia, Editions of the Australian Broker Call *Extra* Report will be focusing on responses to released financial results during the month.

****

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.

REITs – Overnight Price: $2.95

APN Industria REIT reported first-half funds from operations (FFO) of 19.8c, up 8.2% year on year with like for like net property income growth of 1.8%, and more than 99% of rent collected for the period.

While trading at an attractive -1.7% discount to net tangible assets and with room to bolster its earnings profile via acquisitions, Moelis notes the income growth profile remains at risk in the near term. As a result, the broker remains cautious.

The REIT reaffirmed its FY21 guidance for FFO of 19.7-19.9c and distribution of 17.3c.

Moelis continues to view the REIT as a compelling investment proposition, highlighting the recent share price underperformance provides an attractive entry point. Some points in the broker's investment case include a defensive business model and growing size.

CDA    CODAN LIMITED

Hardware & Equipment – Overnight Price: $14.90

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

Codan reported a strong result that was slightly above Canaccord Genuity's expectations. The net profit was 36% above last year and above the circa $40m guidance. The broker notes the result was driven by strong momentum in metal detection.

In Canaccord Genuity's view, the outlook for the second half is shaping up to be stronger with growth in metal detection expected to be supported by the launch of the GPX6000 gold detector.

The communications guidance was also strong, observes the broker, on the back of a solid order book and sales pipeline. The broker has updated its FY21 net profit estimate by 10.6% to $95m.

The target price rises to $16.60 from $14.80 with the Buy rating retained.

CL1    CLASS LIMITED

Cloud services – Overnight Price: $1.74

Shaw and Partners rates ((CL1)) as Buy (1) –

Cloud-based developer and distributor, Class Ltd delivered a solid 1H21 revenue of $28.5m, which was bang in-line with Shaw and Partners' forecast.

Reported earnings (EBITDA) of $10.6m (+24% YoY) was -4% below the broker's estimate, but the difference was largely explained by lower capitalised amounts.

FY21 underlying guidance was reiterated. However, due to an accelerated R&D spend the broker has increased its FY21-23 cost growth forecasts by 8-11%.

Class announced the acquisition of Reckon Docs for $13m cash, which Shaw and Partners believes to be attractively priced at around 4-5x EBITDA. Adding roughly 2,100 customers and revenue of circa $4m, the broker expects the new acquisition to add scale to NowInfinity and further consolidates the document management space.

Overall, Shaw and Partners continues to like the strategy and maintains its Buy rating, with the price target moving to $2.48 from $2.47.

The report was issued on February 17, 2021.

Target price is $2.48 Current Price is $1.74 Difference: $0.74
If CL1 meets the Shaw and Partners target it will return approximately 43% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

CQR    CHARTER HALL RETAIL REIT

REITs – Overnight Price: $3.76

Moelis rates ((CQR)) as Upgrade to Buy from Hold (1) –

Charter Hall Retail REIT delivered first-half operating earnings of $75.2m, circa 9% ahead of Moelis's estimate led by covid support that is reflected in the REIT's adjusted funds from operations. The distribution for the half was 10.7c.

The REIT has guided to operating earnings of at least 27.3c with a second-half dividend of at least 12.7c. This implies a FY21 dividend of no less than 23.4c.

Moelis highlights the REIT saw a record 224 leasing deals completed during the period. Further, the broker points to an improving retail environment, underscored by the strong moving annual total (MAT) numbers.

With the stock trading at a discount, Moelis considers this is an opportune time and upgrades to Buy from Hold with the target rising to $3.86 from $3.75.

This report was published on February 16, 2021.

EBO    EBOS GROUP LIMITED

Healthcare services – Overnight Price: $26.54

Capturing above-market growth rates in both segments, (Community Pharmacy wholesale customers and Terry White Chemmart), Ebos Group’s underlying earnings (EBITDA) was $163m, up 9% on the previous corresponding period, and in line with Jarden's estimate at $164m.

Commenting on the result, Jarden noted the continued strength in the company’s market positions from key brands (Blackhawk and Vitapet), plus strong structural tailwinds in the pet care market, saw animal care earnings (EBIT) jump 26%.

To reflect to 1H performance and trends, Jarden’s forecast FY21-23 EPS changes are 0.6%, 0.1%, and 0% respectively.

EXP    EXPERIENCE CO LIMITED

Travel, Leisure & Tourism – Overnight Price: $0.28

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

Canaccord Genuity finds the first half of Experience Co presented many challenges but cost management and government support measures led to a surprisingly positive operating income of $4.4m relative to the broker's expected $1.7m.

Even so, the broker expects trading conditions to remain patchy with state level policies impacting momentum in what is normally a peak season for the company. Some periods of domestic demand were well ahead of the last period in some regions.

The company dealt with 2020 admirably, suggests the broker, and believes Experience Co EXP can operate profitably on domestic demand alone over 2021. 

Buy recommendation with the target rising to $0.25 from $0.22.

This report was published on February 19, 2021.

Target price is $0.25 Current Price is $0.28 Difference: minus $0.03 (current price is over target).
If EXP meets the Canaccord Genuity target it will return approximately minus 11% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).

HDN    HOMECO DAILY NEEDS REIT

REITs – Overnight Price: $1.27

Jarden rates ((HDN)) as Buy from overweight (1) –

Given the Homeco Daily Needs REIT 1H21 result covered just over a month since being spun out of Home Consortium in November 2020, Jarden sees scope for a reasonable uplift in net tangible assets (NTA) at the release of full year numbers, when a large part of the portfolio will be revalued independently.

Jarden’s FY21 fund from operations (FFO) forecast sits at $21.1m.

Underpinning the broker’s positive view on FFO growth over the next few years are existing portfolio optimisation; contracted rental escalation; and brownfield pad site developments.

Jarden notes progress on trading occupancy was good through the period while Richlands and Ellenbrook developments are tracking ahead of PDS with leasing pre-commitments now over 90% for both.

The broker sees upside in the share price from current levels and expect this to open the way for further accretive acquisitions in calendar 2021.

Recommendation is upgraded to Buy from Overweight, and target price rises to $1.50 from $1.46.

This report was issued on February 17, 2021.

Target price is $1.50 Current Price is $1.27 Difference: $0.23
If HDN meets the Jarden target it will return approximately 18% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

INA    INGENIA COMMUNITIES GROUP

Aged Care & Seniors – Overnight Price: $5.05

Moelis rates ((INA)) as Downgrade to Hold from Buy (3) –

Ingenia Communities Group's first-half result showed revenue from domestic tourism was up 12% over last year to $24.1m.

The company's lifestyle division's operating income at $22.4m was up 39% with an operating income margin of 42.1%, reflecting benefits of scale from a fast-growing site count. The group has 194 contracts on hand that are expected to settle in the second half.

Moelis has reduced its earnings per share forecast by -4.7% to 21.1c for FY21 and is positioned at the top end of management's guidance range of 20.1-21.1c.

While the domestic tourism’s performance and outlook remain strong, the earnings guidance for the year is less than Moelis expected, partly due to higher finance charges and tax rate.

Looking at the appreciation in share price since December 2020, Moelis moves to a Hold rating from Buy with the target falling to $5.40 from $5.49.

This report was published on February 17, 2021.

Target price is $5.40 Current Price is $5.05 Difference: $0.35

IPH    IPH LIMITED

Legal – Overnight Price: $6.02

Bell Potter rates ((IPH)) as Buy (1) –

IPH's first half operating income at $61.7m was higher than Bell Potter's expected $60.7m. The broker notes organic operating income increased 8% versus last year. Margin gains in the acquired Xenith IP Group helped contribute $15m to the operating income.

The company's Asia business achieved like for like operating income growth of 6% which the broker considers a strong result given the strong disruption from covid.

IPH’s business continues to do well, suggests Bell Potter, with long-term growth prospects intact. The broker believes the current share price weakness presents an attractive entry-level for investors.

Buy rating with the target dropping to $8.15 from $8.70.

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

While Canaccord Genuity suffered a moment of trepidation on realising they had been too optimistic over IPH's revenue in the first half, the broker conceded equally underestimating management's ability to improve the performance of acquired businesses.

The result was an in-line first-half operating income with a "stellar" cash conversion that allowed a significant reduction in debt. The broker notes the business will now enter a period with much softer revenue comps and an improving new filings trend.

Buy rating with the target price dropping to $8.90 from $9.50.

This report was published on February 19, 2021.

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

Goldman Sachs expects modest profit growth for IPH led by growth in Asian markets, cost control and acquisition synergies offset by currency headwinds. In the broker's view, acquisitions are likely to be the key catalyst going forward.

While the company did not indicate any imminent transactions, management is confident of completing acquisitions despite international travel restrictions. 

The Buy rating is unchanged and the target price drops to $7.55 from $8.60.

This report was published on February 18, 2021.

Target price is $7.55 Current Price is $6.02 Difference: $1.53

IRI    INTEGRATED RESEARCH LIMITED

IT & Support – Overnight Price: $2.13

Bell Potter rates ((IRI)) as Hold (3) –

Integrated Research's first-half revenue and net profit were in line with Bell Potter's forecasts and consistent with the lower end of the guidance ranges.

While the operating income was below the broker's expected $6.9m, the shortfall was made up by lower D&A and higher net interest revenue leading to an in-line net profit. No interim dividend was announced and the broker did not expect any.

Integrated Research did not provide any guidance for the second half but did point towards a recovery in the second half.

Hold rating retained with a target price of $2.75.

This report was published on February 19, 2021.

MCP    MCPHERSON'S LIMITED

Health & Nutrition – Overnight Price: $1.21

Moelis rates ((MCP)) as Hold (3) –

McPherson's headline result was as expected, observes Moelis while pointing out visibility remains poor.

First-half profit before tax of $7.1m was in-line with guidance, along with revenue at $101.7m and operating income of $7.7m. An interim dividend of 3.5c was declared. No formal guidance was provided due to uncertainty.

Despite four of McPherson's six owned brands delivering growth, Moelis notes the weak result was driven by the underperformance of the highest margin brand – Dr. LeWinn's. 

The company expects the second half profit before tax and earnings to be "materially below" last year.

The Hold rating is maintained with the target price falling to $1.28 from $1.30.

This report was published on February 18, 2021.

Target price is $1.28 Current Price is $1.21 Difference: $0.07
If MCP meets the Moelis target it will return approximately 6% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY21:

Moelis forecasts a full year FY21 dividend of 7.90 cents and EPS of 10.20 cents.
At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 6.53%.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 11.86.

Forecast for FY22:

MNY    MONEY3 CORPORATION LIMITED

Business & Consumer Credit – Overnight Price: $2.90

Shaw and Partners rates ((MNY)) as Buy (1) –

Having put in one of the best results of the reporting season, Money3 Corp reported 1H21 net profit (NPAT) of $19.9m, up 27% year on year (YOY), ahead of Shaw and Partners by 20%, and earnings (EBITDA) of $40.5m, up 33% YoY, 29% ahead of Shaw’s estimates.

Money3 recently upgraded guidance to $36m in net profit for the full year in late January, and if NZ and Victoria lockdowns weren’t in existence at the result, the broker suspects the company would have potentially upgraded again on the strength of this result.

Commenting on the result, the broker noted that Money3 appears to be a vastly stronger company exiting covid, with guidance looking conservative.

Shaw has upgraded its earnings (EBITDA) estimate by11% in FY21 with no change in FY22-23.

With margins, profits and an acceleration likely over the next 12 months, Money3 remains one of the broker’s top picks.

The company has guided on losses on the operating income front in the second half given the impact of the recent lockdowns on sales, and delays associated with shipping/logistics issues.

Jarden rates ((TRS)) as Buy (1) –

Driven by a circa -230bps year-on-year fall in cost of doing business (CODB) margins, The Reject Shop delivered a 30% beat to consensus 1H21 underlying net profit, and around 15% ahead of Jarden’s estimates.

To reflect flat 2H21 year-on-year sales versus prior expectations of a 2% lift, and cost-headwinds from higher freight and adverse foreign exchange hedges, Jarden has cut its FY21 EPS forecasts by around -10% and -6% at the earnings (EBIT) line.

But given Jarden’s view that 2H issues are short term, and the strong 1H21 result is a validation that the strategy and underlying trends are improving, its Buy recommendation and price target of $11.00 remain unchanged.
