UPDATE 1-Malaysia IHH Q2 profit soars on one-off gains, revenue jump

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Malaysia's IHH Healthcare Bhd, the world's second-biggest listed healthcare provider by market value, posted a more than five-fold jump in second-quarter profit, mainly on consolidation of results from a Turkish hospital and gains from the sale of assets in Singapore.

The arm of Malaysia's state investor Khazanah Nasional Bhd is one of a small number of healthcare sector plays in the region, where rising incomes and an expanding middle class are boosting demand for better services.

IHH, which raised $2.1 billion in July in the world's third-biggest IPO so far this year, said net profit was 403.54 million ringgit ($130 million) in the three months ended June 30. Analysts generally don't provide quarterly profit estimates in Malaysia.

Revenue more than tripled to 2.70 billion ringgit from 815.97 million ringgit a year earlier, according to a stock exchange filing.

Net profit for the six months period ended June 30 rose nearly two-fold to 527.38 million ringgit, exceeding the 515.5 million ringgit full-year profit estimate of analysts tracked by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

IHH Healthcare poised for rapid growth

PETALING JAYA: The “rich” valuation for IHH Healthcare Bhd is justified as the healthcare provider group has strong earnings and market growth prospects over the next five years, according to managing director Dr Lim Cheok Peng. Lim reiterated that in the pipeline were more than 3,300 new beds to be delivered and 17 hospital developments, which would be completed by end-2016.

Known as Asia's biggest hospital operator, IHH presently operates over 4,900 beds in 30 hospitals as well as clinics and ancillary healthcare business across eight countries. “As we continue this journey, how will IHH look like in another three to five years? It will be a 47-hospital group with more than 8,000 beds,” Lim told StarBiz in a telephone interview.

He highlighted that this would obviously result in a significant impact on the group's annual revenue and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) by end-2016. For the financial year ended Dec 31, 2011 (FY11), the group posted a pro-forma revenue of RM5.2bil and EBITDA of RM1.03bil. Its net profit was RM132mil. IHH is en-route to a dual listing on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia and the Main Board of Singapore Exchange Securities (SGX) tomorrow.

The group's US$2bil (RM6.3bil) initial public offering at RM2.80 per share will be the third largest IPO in the world this year after Facebook Inc and Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd.

In a recent report, JF Apex Securities said its fair value for IHH was RM3.00 per share, based on 20 times FY13 enterprise value (EV) over EBITDA or an implied 55% premium to the average FY13 EV/EBITDA of its regional peers of 13 times, in view of IHH being the world's second largest healthcare company and its relatively larger market capitalisation. Meanwhile, ECM Libra has a hold call on IHH's stock and target price of RM2.94 per share, based on sum-of-parts valuation.

IHH's institutional, retail price fixed at RM2.80

PETALING JAYA (July 13, 2012): IHH Healthcare Bhd has fixed its cornerstone, institutional and final retail share price under its RM6.2 billion initial public offering (IPO) at RM2.80 and S$1.113 a share, at the upper end of the indicative range of RM2.67 to RM2.85 per share, for its concurrent listing on Bursa Malaysia and Singapore Exchange.

In a joint filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, CIMB Bank Bhd's Singapore Branch and DBS Bank Ltd said the price for the global offering of up to 2.23 billion shares with an over-allotment option of up to 170 million shares, was fixed after the close of the book-building for institutions.


IHH will debut on the Malaysian and Singaporean bourses on July 25.
