HTL International rated 'sell' by DMG

Stock Name: HTL Int
Company Name: HTL INT'L HOLDINGS LIMITED
Research House: DMG

DMG & Partners Securities in a May 9 research report says: "HTL reported 1Q11 net profit of $0.1 million, down 98.9% from the previous corresponding quarter.

"This is attributed to: (1) 10% y-o-y fall in revenue to $135.6 million, (2) forex loss of $4.0 million versus $0.2 million loss in 1Q10 and (3) rising production and material input costs. Revenue fall was due to a 10.9% y-o-y decline in sofa sales to $124.4 million and a 3.5% y-o-y decline in home furnishings sales to $11.1 million.

"We revise lower our sales and earnings estimates by 3-4% for FY2011 and FY2012 respectively to take into account lower than expected sales. Lower target price of 46 cents, pegged to an unchanged 8x FY11F P/E. MAINTAIN SELL."

DMG downgrades HTL International (H64.SG) to Neutral from Buy; but lifts target price to $0.73 from $0.70 after rolling over valuation to blended FY10-11 8x P/E from 8x FY10 P/E, says Dow Jones.



DMG says while 2H tends to be seasonally stronger period for leather sofa maker, rising freight rates and raw leather hide prices likely to weigh on earnings.



Research house expects 2H10 core net profit to be comparable to $18.6 million achieved in 1H10. Shares off 2.7% at $0.73.
