Notes from the Field

The well-known, long-term investment merits of 1) rising affluence, 2) ageing population and 3) medical tourism, are not new. The only cap was capacity. 2015 is a year of building, from which new capacity will sprout in 2016, almost doubling Raffles Medical’s (RMG) capacity. ————————————————————————————————————————

Contents

The completion of the Raffles Hospital extension and Holland Village will lift the capacity cap and drive 19% earnings CAGR in FY16-18. While that is a clear positive, we have to revise our FY15-16 EPS down by 8-9% to reflect higher depreciation costs, following a transition of analyst coverage. Our target price falls, now based on the CY16 EV/EBITDA peer average of 21x (prev. SOTP). Secondary catalysts include its China expansion plans.

STRUCTURAL GROWTH, JUST LACK OF CAPACITY ..... 5 TWO KEY CONCERNS GRADUALLY LESS IMPORTANT 7

New capacity in FY16

SECONDARY CATALYSTS ................................................ 9

Since its opening in 2001, Raffles Hospital has not seen any significant increase in capacity until recently. The hospital extension (S$310m cost, 40% paid, expected completion end-16) will add 220k sf of space (+73% increase) in phases over 2016. Full contribution from the new space could settle in by 2017 as RMG can lease out unused space quite easily. We expect better allocation and deployment of facilities and wards, plus economies of scale to boost margins. In addition, Raffles Holland Village adds another 65k sf of space in a facility where DBS sits as anchor tenant. RMG will occupy 20% of the space initially. The focus on hospital

Concerns addressed Following an industry-wide increase in nurses’ wages, recent concerns centred on staff cost (~50% of FY13 sales) pressure. These cost pressures are not new and affect the entire industry; one should, therefore, expect these costs to be absorbed into billings eventually. The cost strain was compounded by weakness in medical tourism receipts, especially as a decline in the rupiah led to fewer Indonesian patients. RMG’s foreign patient load recorded single-digit growth in 9M14 vs ~13% in the past five years. That concern should ease as Indonesia’s latest fuel price hike has made the rupiah more stable recently.

Expansion into China Management has indicated that it is still finalising its potential investment stake in Shenzhen and Shanghai. We continue to wait for more clarity and view them as long-term catalysts.

Raffles Medical Group│Singapore February 6, 2015

Preparing to double the dosage STRUCTURAL GROWTH, JUST LACK OF CAPACITY Private hospital revenues are a long-term growth story In recent years, the demand for Singapore private hospitals has exceeded supply. The drivers of 1) an ageing population in Singapore, 2) a demand for (perceived) higher-quality care and an ability to pay for it as affluence rises, 3) Singapore’s reputation as a medical hub, attracting demand from regional population bases, all add to the equation. Raffles Medical’s revenue from hospital services, since its official opening in March 2002, racked up a CAGR of 19% vs. a 2.2% population CAGR over the same period. Even the demand for less acute healthcare services (clinics and GP services) has grown at a steady CAGR of 8% vs. the 2.2% population CAGR. We also note that growth in private hospital admissions in recent years has overtaken that of public hospital admissions (4.9% CAGR vs 2.9%), indicating a shift from public hospitals to private hospitals for secondary and tertiary care, a symptom that is to be expected with rising affluence. The widening of private healthcare market share vs. public market share is already a clear trend. The capacity limitation of private sector facilities is a secondary effect. Between 2010 and 2013, the private sector’s percentage of market share of total admissions rose by 1.3% pts while its share of total beds rose by only 0.8% pts. The capacity limitation of Raffles Medical is long known. New capacity is finally being built and we are optimistic that this is clearly a case of “build-it-and-they-will-come”. We expect the added capacity from the hospital extension to fuel growth for RMG’s hospital segment. Figure 1: CAGR of 18.8% for revenue from hospital services

Raffles Medical Group│Singapore February 6, 2015

Raffles Hospital extension to drive hospital services revenues and group blended margins up RMG acquired the new extension premises in Jan 2014. Groundbreaking for the extension building started in Dec 2014. We expect it to be completed in phases from 2H16, with all facilities completed by end-2016. 40% of the S$310m cost is expected to be paid by FY14 and the remaining cost of ~S$170m can be taken care of by the net cash (S$119m) and FY15-16 operational cash flows (S$208m). We see no threat to current dividends. The combined Raffles Hospital old wing and extension will yield a GFA of about 530k sf (+73%, current 307k sf). We understand that RMG will use about a quarter of the new space initially while leasing the rest out. The new extension will house specialist outpatient clinics, diagnostic services, an endoscopy and day surgery ward, a radiotherapy suite and training facilities. Some facilities will move over from the old wing, freeing up space for more beds in the old wing. We especially like the linking of the extension on all floors to the existing building to integrate operations for optimal patient flow. We think this will improve operating margins in the long run as RMG leverages its existing facilities to spread some fixed costs. Also, as this additional capacity drives hospital services, we expect group blended margins to trend up from 2017 onwards as hospital services grow faster than healthcare services. Over the past five years, the hospital segment has enjoyed higher operating margins of c.25-26% versus the healthcare segment’s c.8-9%.

Raffles Holland Village is a secondary growth engine The new hospital extension wing is the main course in the RMG growth story; the new outlet in Holland Village is the icing on the cake. Construction on the 5-storey commercial building is underway and is expected to be completed in 1Q16. RMG intends to use 9k sf of a total GFA of 65k sf (about 20% of estimated NLA) for expansion of its medical and specialist services in the area. The remaining space will be leased to DBS Bank (about 10% of NLA), retailers and other F&B tenants. Overall, we estimate that the rental portion could contribute up to S$2.4m to the group’s bottomline (approximately 4% of FY13 core net profit).

Pioneer Generation (PG) package could boost healthcare services Revenues from Raffles’ healthcare services rose by 14-16% yoy in 9M14, compared to an average of about 9% yoy in the past five years. In addition to a higher patient load, this was largely driven by the increased provision of healthcare insurance services, which account for 5-10% of total revenue. Going forward, we think that healthcare services will also benefit from the Pioneer Generation (PG) package that commenced on 1 September 2014. The majority of Raffles Medical clinics are Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) accredited. From our channel checks, we estimate that the difference between Raffles Medical and a polyclinic for a standard cough or cold, with a PG card, is about 50%.

TWO KEY CONCERNS GRADUALLY LESS IMPORTANT The business can cope with rising labour costs The two most pertinent concerns for RMG have been the sustainability of operating margins and whether Singapore will remain a viable hub for medical tourism. On the first concern, we show that RMG is generally able to sustain its margins, even in the face of intermittent years of labour cost spikes. Using the yoy wage change of health and social service workers in Singapore as a proxy for RMG’s staff cost pressures, we notice that 1) there seems to be intermittent cost pressures every three years, 2) there is a 1-year lag where margins soften after a wage spike, 3) this negative correlation between wage cost pressure and group operating margins is more evident in the last five years, and 4) in the early years (2003-08) when capacity utilisation of the newly established Raffles Hospital was rising, operating leverage negated the ill-effects of wage cost pressure. We are hopeful that going forward, the additional capacity from the new hospital extension can negate cost pressures.

Notwithstanding the abovementioned hope of operating leverage mitigating staff cost pressure, another mitigating factor is the healthcare business’s general ability to pass through cost pressures. Our analysis shows that from 2009 to 2013, Singapore’s healthcare CPI increased at a quicker pace than RMG’s cost of sales (CAGR of 3.2% vs 0.8%). In the near term, we could see a slight increase of staff costs as a percentage of sales in preparation for the additional capacity but these costs will eventually flow through its billings as capacity picks up. Figure 9: Staff costs to sales (%) spiked in 2013 (more hiring, steep wage hike) but dropped in 9M14 as patient charges rose 52.0%

Medical tourism: 2014 posed some challenges; should recede in 2015 In 9M14, revenue from hospital services rose 4-7% yoy (average of 13% yoy over last five years). We attribute the lacklustre hospital performance to the decline in foreign patients, particularly from Indonesia. Foreign patients traditionally account for 30-35% of total patients, with Indonesians forming the largest group at approximately 5-7% of all patients. The slower growth was attributed to elections and a weaker rupiah. However, while we acknowledge that these factors will impact RMG’s growth, we think the long-term investment thesis for Raffles is still intact. The fundamental attraction is Singapore’s world-class 8

Raffles Medical Group│Singapore February 6, 2015

reputation of healthcare services and that has not changed. Regional medical tourists come to Singapore for specialist care and critical surgery because of the strong reputation for critical medicine. Singapore is also attractively located at the heart of Southeast Asia and actively works with healthcare partners in neighbouring countries to expand its referral networks. Further, Singapore ranks first in Asia (fourth in the world) in the Medical Tourism Index, published by the International Healthcare Research Centre, owing to its good facilities and services. An analysis of the average bill size across private hospitals targeting a similar patient profile (i.e. affluent domestic patients and medical tourists) would also suggest that Raffles Hospital is best placed to benefit from negative external pressures as it is the most competitively priced. We acknowledge that this comparison only serves as a guide and has not been standardised for the different range of medical specialties in each hospital. Furthermore, this only includes inpatient bills and excludes day surgery bills, which are becoming an increasingly important source of revenue. Nonetheless, we think this is fairly representative of the relative positions of the hospitals’ respective prices.

SECONDARY CATALYSTS China RMG has yet to finalise its JVs in Shenzhen and Shanghai. Our understanding is that management is still in talks with the respective partners and could be open to increasing its stake in these projects, even up to 100% from the 70% previously indicated. The potential investment in both projects is in the range of S$350m-400m. We continue to wait for more clarity on these projects and view them as long-term catalysts.

VALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Raffles hospital extension and Holland Village to contribute from FY16 We revise our FY15-16 EPS downwards by 8-9% to factor in higher depreciation costs from 1) the S$310m investment in Raffles hospital extension, and 2) S$120m investment in Raffles Holland Village. We anticipate some contribution in FY16 upon scheduled completion, with full contribution in FY17 as operating leverage ramps up. Notwithstanding initial start-up costs, we expect margins to improve.

Current valuations below peer group average We revise our valuation methodology from SOTP and now value Raffles Medical at its peer average 12m forward EV/EBITDA of 21x. We prefer EV/EBITDA as 1) it offers more comparability given that it is a relative valuation methodology, 2) it is capital-structure neutral, and 3) it eliminates differences arising from ownership versus rental of property, given that net profit can be distorted by high depreciation and interest costs. We view the current valuation of 18.6x CY16 EV/EBITDA as an attractive level to buy the stock. Raffles Medical has earnings CAGR of 12.3% over FY14-16, 14.9% ROE and CY15 dividend yield of 1.3%, which is in line with its peer group. Figure 13: Raffles Medical Group’s valuation
