中國燃氣(00384.HK):疫情影響充分釋放,新增拓展LPG微管網,維持“買入”評級,目標價35.60港元
機構:中信證券
評級:買入
目標價:35.60港元
核心觀點
公司 FY20 核心溢利 94.7 億港元,同比增長 16.2%,氣量增速 6%,疫情影響在財年內充分釋放。FY21 預計氣量與毛差修復,LPG 微管網貢獻接駁增量,回款加速、自由現金流料同比大幅好轉。預計公司 FY21~FY23 EPS 為 2.10/2.45/2.78港元,對應 PE 為 15/13/11 倍,目標價 35.60 港元,維持“買入”評級。
事項:公司發佈 2019/2020 財年(以下簡稱 FY20)年度業績,全年營業收入 595.4億港元,同比增長 0.3%;公司擁有人應占溢利 91.9 億港元,同比增長 11.7%;核心溢利 94.7 億港元,同比增長 16.2%; 折算核心 EPS 為 1.81 港元,年度派息 0.50港元,核心派息比率 27.6%,同比增長 0.3 個百分點。公司財年截止日為 3 月 31日,故 FY20 業績受到疫情的較大沖擊,而 FY21 業績壓力相應減輕。
零售氣量逐月修復,成本優化毛差受益。 FY20, 公司城市與鄉鎮合計零售氣量 156.3億方,同比增長 6.0%,其中 1Q20 受疫情影響,氣量同比下滑 13%。4/5 月,公司單月氣量增速已修復至 8%/10%,FY21 全年指引氣量增速 15%,考慮到東北/鄉鎮項目有望分別貢獻 3/6 個百分點增量,全年指引對城市項目的內生氣量考核相對寬鬆。公司 FY20 價差 0.605 元/方,同比上年的 0.61 元/方基本持平。進入 FY21,受益於管道氣價下調以及主動增加低成本 LNG氣源採購,公司價差已開始上行。
天然氣接駁量進入平台期, LPG微管網貢獻增量。 公司FY20合計新接駁居民542.7萬户,其中鄉鎮氣代煤 269.6 萬户。 FY21,公司指引完成天然氣居民新接駁 500-550萬户,並將完成農村 LPG 微管網接駁 50 萬户。農村 LPG 微管網業務依託公司現存的龐大 LPG 進口分銷網絡,無需建設高中壓管線,建設與運營成本較低,終端價格較天然氣節省 30%,接駁費與天然氣業務相當,或成為公司後續重要的增長點。
自由現金流短期下行,回款加速但敞口增加。公司 FY20 受到支付大額應付工程款影響,經營現金流同比下滑 36 億港元,自由現金流同比下滑約 20 億港元至-30億港元。公司 FY20 氣代煤合計新增回款 49.4 億元,FY21 指引新增回款 80-90 億港元,回款加速。疊加 FY21 氣代煤新增户數料持平,自由現金流料大幅改善。後續LPG 微管網接駁可能帶來新的鄉鎮回款敞口,但公司指引 LPG 回款快於氣代煤。
風險因素:售氣量低於預期,毛差縮減,接駁量低於預期,LPG 微管網開拓緩慢
投資建議:根據公司最新氣量與接駁指引,略微下調公司 FY21/22 EPS 預測1%/2%至 2.10/2.45 港元,新增 FY23 EPS 預測 2.78 港元,當前股價對應未來 3年 PE為 15/13/11 倍,微降目標價 1%至 35.60 港元,維持“買入”評級。
