The Business 

Proxy to Myanmar plays with five key business segments 

• Singapore Myanmar Investco (SMI) is a proxy to Myanmar plays, with five key business segments: 
  1. Travel & Fashion, 
  2. Food & Beverage, 
  3. Auto services, 
  4. Construction, and 
  5. Logistics & Warehousing. 

• SMI aims to have all businesses satisfy at least one of the three criteria – leadership position, early-mover advantage, and monopoly position.

10-year merchandise supply agreement to duty free shops; franchise rights for retail outlets. 

• SMI’s 10-year agreement for the supply of duty-free goods at the new terminal of Yangon International Airport and its franchise agreements with three retail outlets to date – Crystal Jade, IPPUDO and The Coffee Bean, is set to benefit from the growing tourism in Myanmar.

Strong demand for car rentals. 

• The liberalisation of Myanmar’s economy has lead to a significant rise in tourism and FDI, resulting in strong demand for car rental services.

Leveraging on the rapidly expanding construction sector and the shortage of cold warehouse in Myanmar. 

• SMI’s partnership with SANY, one of China’s leading heavy equipment manufacturers, is set to capture a significant pie of the growing construction sector. SMI aims to be a national logistics/supply chain player, especially cold warehouse, in Myanmar.

The Stock 

Fair value of S$0.76. 

• We arrive at a fair value of S$0.76, based on 18x FY19F PE, and 0.3x PEG (peers 0.4x). 
• The 18x valuation parameter is at a discount to our 20x valuation target for SGXlisted peer, Duty Free Int’l, given SMI’s limited track record.

Key Risks: 

• Loss of duty free supply rights and franchise agreements for retail outlets; political instability.
