本地企业历来最大配股计划 星展(DBS)售附加股集资40亿

(2008-12-23)

  星展银行宣布将配售附加股筹集40亿元,以强化集团的负债比例表以及资本实力。这是本地企业有史以来,最大规模的配股计划。

  星展银行总裁施瑞德强调,融资是为了加强一级资本(tier-1 capital),以便在主要市场里取得长期的自然增长(organic growth),并澄清融资计划不是为了从事任何收购与合并计划,或用作其他非一般开支。

  他说:"配售计划的出发点是为了加强我们的资本实力,不是为了填补资金,也不是为了支撑,或防止我们的负债比例潜水,更不是为了清理债务。"

  经配售新股后,星展银行的一级资本将从9.7%提高到11.8%,较大华银行来得高,但比华侨银行的来得低。集团的整体资本足够率(Total CAR)也将从原本的13.4%,提高到15.5%,与大华银行等同,较华侨银行则来得高。

  一级资本是反映银行财力的指标。今年5月,星展银行以25万元为一单位,私下发售总值15亿元的不可转换优先股,以加强它的一级资本。

  对于集团再次向市场融资,证券研究机构Fox Pitt Kelton分析师胡萨克尔(Brian Hunsaker)说:"相比另外两家本地银行,星展银行的一级资本在融资前较低。市场目前要求银行拥有更多资本,而新加坡银行的前景目前显得非常具挑战性。"

  这一次的融资是集团历来最大规模的配股计划。星展银行上一次售股集资是在2001年11月,为收购香港道亨银行而筹集的22亿元资金。集团上一次配售新股则是在1998年,筹集了少过10亿元资金。

  星展银行这次将以两股配售一股的方式,配售7亿6048万附加股,每股5.42元的售价,较集团上星期五收盘折价45%。

  拥有集团28%股权的最大股东――淡马锡控股(Temasek Holdings)以及星展银行董事都计划认购配售股。

  淡马锡发言人受询时表示:"根据分包销协议,淡马锡将包销星展银行本次向股东配股的三分之一,其中包括预先承诺购入、按持股比例配得的27.6%之配发股份。"

  施瑞德表示,即使淡马锡认购所有被配售的股份,所持的股权将维持在30%以下。

  淡马锡也参与了渣打银行(Standard Chartered)上个月的股东配股计划,并保持在该银行的18.8%股权。

  渣打银行上个月宣布计划通过发行新股募资18亿英镑(41亿新元),同样为强化银行的负债比例,同时筹集足够资金在目前金融市场剧烈波动中获利。其配售计划全数被认购。

  被问及集团是否因为渣打银行的配售股计划成功进行而选择以同样方式融资时,施瑞德否认这是其中的原因,表示集团配售新股是对股东最公平合理的融资方式。

  由于环球信贷吃紧,许多海外银行因为面临资金不足问题而向市场融资。瑞信银行(Credit Suisse)分析师因此猜测,星展银行此举可能因为银行达不到金管局的要求,资产不足以担保客户的储蓄。

  对此,星展银行表示,两者不能相提并论,其一级资本比金管局所规定的来得高。

   施瑞德解释:"不管有没有配售附加股,我们拥有强稳的负债比例表。不过,市场目前专注于资本比例,因此降低债务、增加现金流和提高资本将能让我们更好地 服务客户。经配售附加股,我们将成为亚洲财力最雄厚的银行之一,让我们在目前的环境中成为有实力的竞争对手,增加市场占有率和提高利润。计划是为了我们的 未来、增长和竞争优势。"

股价一度暴跌10.6%

  星展银行昨早暂停交易,午盘恢复交易时,股价一度暴跌10.6%,跌破9元大关,报8.90元,至5年半来的最低水平。该股闭市报9.37元,全天下跌4.9%。大华银行和华侨银行的股价则被消息拖累,分别下滑5.1%和2.8%,以12.34元和4.93元收市。

  市场人士指出,配售附加股是最便宜的融资方式,而在前景不明朗、收入将持续下降的环境中,采取融资计划是明智的做法。

  辉立资金管理(Phillip Capital Management)分析师说:"融资计划相信会让市场对星展银行更有信心。集团的一级资本之前是市场所牵挂的,这也是为何其股价在过去几个星期相对另外两家本地银行以折扣价交易。"

  受债务抵押债券(CDOs)、金融海啸以及结构产品风波波及,星展银行今年的股价表现较另外两家本地银行来得逊色,下跌幅度也比整体股市来得大。

  今年以来,星展银行的股价共退低了54.7%,大华银行和华侨银行的股价则分别下滑38%和40.5%。海峡时报指数今年以来则下跌49.6%。

  尽管本地银行股的"身价"大跌,但宝盛银行(Julius Baer)分析师仍不看好该领域。

  她说:"我不会建议投资者进场,宁可等到第四季业绩出炉再说。"

第四季业绩将比上季逊色

  星展银行表示,第四季表现将比上一季来得逊色,预计必须在本季里为香港和中国的中小企业贷款拨出更多的准备金。集团也透露,上个月的裁员行动,遣散费和相关费用估计耗资约4500万元。

  集团上个月宣布裁退约900名职员,其中一半是本地总部的职员。

  尽管如此,集团在昨天发表的文告中指出,由于派发花红,本季的成本预计将较上一季提高,从裁员计划节省的成本无法完全显现,要等到明年第一季才会看出。

  不过,星展银行财务总监林淑慧表示,集团今年的成本对收入比例预计和去年的不相上下。

  展望明年,星展银行总裁施瑞德表示,未来几季的贷款业务将受宏观经济情况影响而放缓,坏账比例也可能增加,但集团将继续投资在主要的增长市场,即中国、印度、印尼和台湾。

  在新加坡,他透露,集团打算着重发展储蓄银行(POSB)方面的业务,争取更多客户。

高盛下调阿里巴巴目标股价至4.7港元

  北京时间12月22日消息,据香港媒体报道,高盛把阿里巴巴(1688.HK)的目标股价,由5.3港元调低至4.7港元,评级为中性。

  高盛指出,在内地中小企业正面临经济放缓考验的下,阿里巴巴的金牌供应商及诚信通用户增长可能均会受到影响,从而打击其公司的收入。

   在推广及佣金开支增加下,以税息前盈利(EBIT)毛利率由40%降至约 30%计,并将内地利率回落的因素考虑在内,维持其08年度每股盈利预测于0.3港元不变,但调低09及10年度每股盈利预测各14%及15%,至 0.21及0.23港元。阿里巴巴现跌4.9%报收5.79港元。

  本栏于上周一(15日)曾论及指数仍然会回升以填补介于 1868.19点至1885.02 点间的缺口,甚至填补另一个介于1991.07点至2059.39点间的缺口,因为指数依然处于c小波上调阶段。可是上周指数却出现上升横摆渐进走势,而 全周波幅更是只介于1751.53点至1822.76点的狭小范围,导致其每日一杆图中的"方向指示"下降至15.84的界域,因此,估计指数本周内在" 方向指示"无明确走势的影响下,指数将依然处横摆状态,而填补上述二缺口的方向未变,不过,却将延后至今年最后一周及明年初了。

DBS Rights issue to raise SGD 4 billion - 22/12/2008



DBS RAISES CAPITAL TO STRENGTHEN FRANCHISE AND SEIZE GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

Rights issue to raise SGD 4 billion

***

Proactive capital raising, initiated from position of strength, will make DBS one of the best capitalised banks in Asia


SINGAPORE, 22 DECEMBER 2008 - DBS Group Holdings Ltd ("DBS") today announced a rights issue ("Rights Issue") to raise net proceeds of approximately SGD 4 billion on the basis of one new ordinary share ("Rights Share") for every two existing shares held as at 5.00 p.m. on 31 December 2008.

The capital-raising exercise will further strengthen DBS' balance sheet at a time when investor preference globally has shifted in favour of banks with higher capital levels, especially core capital levels. Following the Rights Issue, DBS' stronger capital position will provide the bank with a competitive advantage to strengthen existing customer relationships, seek out new customers, and selectively grow its loan book to increase market share and profitability.

Said DBS Chief Executive Officer Richard Stanley: "DBS is initiating this capital-raising exercise from a position of strength. Our business continues to perform well despite the challenges of the global economic downturn. We have a robust balance sheet characterised by strong liquidity, capital adequacy ratios and asset quality. The rights issue will enable DBS to capture opportunities to entrench our market position in key Asian markets and confidently weather the economic uncertainties ahead."

DBS said organic growth remains a priority and the capital raising is not intended for any merger and acquisition activity or extraordinary provisions.

The bank continues to experience strong deposit growth, high quality loan demand and better loan spreads, all of which will strengthen profitability in the core lending franchise.

DBS is confident that the prospects in its core markets, while not immune to the global economic slowdown, remain attractive over the medium to long term. The asset quality of DBS is healthy with a non-performing loans ratio of 1.3% and non-performing assets allowance coverage ratio of 123% as at 30 September 2008. DBS also has a strong liquidity position underpinned by a loan to deposit ratio of 76.6% in the same period. (Please refer to Trading Update released today for additional information.)

DBS has a strong capital position with capital ratios well above the minimum regulatory requirements. As of 30 September 2008, the consolidated core Tier 1 and Tier 1 ratios of the Group were 7.8% and 9.7%, respectively, while the total capital ratio was 13.4%. After adjusting for the estimated net proceeds of the Rights Issue, the pro forma consolidated core Tier 1 and Tier 1 ratios of the Group as at 30 September 2008 would have increased to 9.9% and 11.8%, respectively.

The Rights Issue is underwritten in full by Citigroup Global Markets Singapore Pte. Ltd., Goldman Sachs (Singapore) Pte., J.P. Morgan (S.E.A.) Limited, Morgan Stanley Asia (Singapore) Pte. and UBS AG, acting through its business division, UBS Investment Bank. DBS has also appointed DBS Bank Ltd and the Underwriters as joint lead managers of the Rights Issue. DBS' largest shareholder, Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited ("Temasek"), has agreed to subscribe for up to one-third of the Rights Issue through a sub-underwriting arrangement. This includes Temasek taking up its rights entitlement of 27.6%. The Directors of DBS intend to take up their entitlements under the Rights Issue in full.

The Rights Issue price of SGD 5.42 per share represents approximately 45% discount to the last traded share price of SGD 9.85 on 19 December 2008 and approximately 35% discount to the theoretical ex-rights share price of SGD 8.37 per share.

DBS intends to declare and pay a final dividend for the quarter ending 31 December 2008, amounting to the same absolute cash amount as it would have done had there been no Rights Issue. Going forward, DBS' dividend policy will reflect its long-term sustainable earnings growth and capital requirements, as well as general prevailing financial and business conditions.

Further details of the Rights Issue are set out in the announcement issued today by DBS, which can be found on the SGX website.

吉林麦达斯(Midas) 获新合约

(2008-12-12)

  麦达斯控股(Midas Holdings)的吉林麦达斯铝业有限公司获得一项740万欧元(1456万新元)的合约,将为阿尔斯通(Alstom)供应铝合金外壳(aluminium alloy extrusion profiles)。

  这项合约会在2009年和2010年进行,预计将对这两年的业绩产生积极影响。集团总裁周华光说:"这项合约将帮助我们继续进军欧洲市场,与阿尔斯通的合作,将巩固我们作为全球铁路交通业铝合金外壳专长供应商的地位。"

嘉茂信托(CapitaMall Trust) 评级:买入 合理价:1.94元

(2008-12-10)

  迈入2009年,嘉茂信托料将继续面对再融资的问题。它在今年第三季并未进行再融资,但管理层已表示有能力为本月到期的1亿8750万元和明年5月到期的8000万元进行再融资。分析师指出,随着投资者对中期票据的兴趣大减,嘉茂信托可能无法通过中期票据进行再融资。

   新加坡房地产投资信托的信贷评级近期普遍遭调降,说明评级公司对它们保持谨慎态度。在5月份,穆迪确定嘉茂信托的A2评级,但不看好它的展望,主要因为 Atrium@Orchard的收购促使其财务状况转弱。分析师认为,随着信贷市场紧缩、零售租金放缓,它面对信贷评级调降的风险增加了,而这将提升再融 资成本。

  鉴于经济与就业展望的恶化,分析师认为消费者支出明年可能会继续放缓,于是调降嘉茂信托的零售租金预测。

  分析师预期嘉茂信托能够为短期贷款取得再融资,但认为它接下来的借贷成本将增加。它将该股的目标价从2.57元削减至1.94元。

中国新城镇(China New Town) 卖出沈阳一地段

(2008-12-09)

  中国新城镇(China New Town Development)在沈阳李相新镇所准备的一块18万5418平方公尺地段已经卖出,这交易将为它截至今年底的第四季业绩,贡献9050万人民币(2000万新元)的营收和2370万人民币的毛利。

  中国新城镇发布消息时表示,该地段售价1亿2922万人民币。这是它在该镇所准备并移交的第三块地段。


中国新城镇(China New Town) 短期融资问题解决

(2008-12-08)

  中国新城镇(China New Town Development)表示已经解决了短期融资问题。随着财务状况改善,它预计在农历新年期间向中国的银行申请贷款来扩充业务。

  集团打算向银行申请10亿元人民币的贷款来融资上海的项目。它表示已经解决了可转换债券的问题,目前不再面对财务方面的问题。

  集团正着手将收入来源多样化,在新住宅地区发展更多商业房地产,并把重点放在高尔夫球场和酒店业务。随着土地使用权的销售展望变得不稳定,管理层希望以上措施能够为集团带来稳定的收入。

  集团也强调它不是房地产发展商,因此房产价格的下滑对其影响不大。集团唯一面对的问题是发展商购买能力的受损。但除非市价跌逾70%,集团的项目料不会面对亏损。
