HANA’s 1Q24 net profit was Bt313mn, 22% below consensus but in line with INVX, up 17.5% YoY and 150.4% QoQ without the 4Q23 inventory write-down. Core profit was Bt350mn, up 19.6% YoY and 17.9% QoQ on a better gross margin due to baht depreciation and effective cost control. We expect growth over the rest of the year, especially in 2H24 from the AI smartphone cycle and RFID and PMS businesses. Outperform with a TP of Bt42.0 based on its 5-year PE mean of 19x.
1Q24 highlights.Revenue was US$179mn, -6% YoY due to weak IC revenue both in Thailand (down 11% YoY) and China (down 50% YoY) on weak demand for consumer electronic-related and smartphones in the presence of high interest rates. However, revenue edged up 2% QoQ due to the continued strong PCBA contribution, with Thailand up 6% QoQ and China up 4% QoQ, backed by strong demand for automotive, industrial and access control items. The RFID business grew 19% YoY and 1% QoQ on high RFID inlay demand. Gross margin improved to 10.8% in 1Q24 from 8.6% in 1Q23 and 5.7% in 4Q23 on the depreciation of the baht against the US$ and cost control.
2024 outlook. Management expects some growth in 2Q24, with growth strengthening in 2H24, which aligns with our view. Backing this is: 1) outsourcing semiconductor assembly and testing (OSAT) or the IC business (29% of revenue), expected to remain weak in 2Q24 but growth will be driven by smartphone-related products in 2H24 due to low inventory levels and high demand from the AI smartphone replacement cycle. The Jiaxing IC plant (2% of revenue) is still being affected by the relocation of Western customers to reduce risk outside of China. 2) The PCBA business (65% of revenue) is expected to remain strong driven by auto/industry and medical. Earnings are expected to grow in HANA Jiaxing in China after the Lunar New Year holiday in 1Q24. 2) Radio frequency identification (RFID) business (13% of revenue) is expected to grow well after the signing of an agreement with Michelin (the world's largest tire manufacturer) that allows HANA to manufacture/sell RFID tire tags to other tire manufacturers. HANA will pay a loyalty fee to Michelin. HANA is ordering two additional machines in 3Q24 to support increased orders. For major retailers like Walmart it is waiting for Auburn certification, expected to be completed in mid-year, becoming another driver for HANA's RFID business. 4) PMS business (silicon & silicon carbide) is expected to recover in 2Q24 on increased equipment capacity for silicon carbide products, which are still in high demand. Silicon product recovery is expected to start, but price competition for silicon remains intense.
No impact from jump in copper and gold prices and limited impact from higher minimum wage. HANA can pass the cost of raw materials such as copper and gold (used for wire bonding in the IC business) through to its customers, which means the recent sharp rise in copper and gold prices has no impact. However, it preliminarily estimates the impact from a possible increase in minimum wage at ~Bt15mn per quarter or ~2.8% of our 2025F.
Action & recommendation. We believe the 24% YTD fall in share price has already factored in most of the negatives. We recommend Outperform for the better 2H24 earnings outlook with a target price of Bt42 based on 5-year PE mean of 19X.
Key risks are changes in purchasing power, and exchange rate volatility. Key ESG risk are labor management and suppliers (S). Click here to read and/or download HANA240521_E |
