1 28 June 2016 Sailing into choppy waters The termination of 4 LNG charters by PETRONAS has raised concerns on LNG earnings visibility. Petroleum charter rates are likely to taper off due to vessel oversupply and tepid global crude shipping demand. Meanwhile, lower termtospot ratios in the LNG and petroleum segments could expose MISC to charterrate volatility. We now expect FY16 core earnings to contract 14% yoy on lower tanker yields and margin pressure from higher bunker costs. Downgrade to SELL from Hold with a lower TP of RM6.70. Concerns on LNG earnings visibility The early termination of 4 LNG vessels chartered to PETRONAS has raised concerns on the earnings visibility of the traditionally stable LNG segment. LNG tanker yields fell a significant 17% yoy in FY15 amid several charter expiries, terminations and high docking days. The termtospot ratio is now 80:20, with up to 5 LNG vessels seeking spot charters, which could be a huge drag on yields given the soft rates. Globally, LNG rates halved in FY15 and have declined 26% ytd, on the chronic vessel oversupply situation. We expect LNG charter rates to remain weak as the 32% orderbooktofleet ratio is set to outstrip LNG shipping demand growth of 7% yoy. Consequently, we expect the LNG FY16 core PBT to contract 17% yoy (in US$) on LNG tanker yield declines. Petroleum charter rates to decline MISC s petroleum tanker yield rose sharply by 24% yoy in FY15, in line with the charterrate rally in all petroleum vessel classes globally. While many of MISC s charters were renewed in FY1415, charter durations are comparatively shorter at 2 years, which could expose MISC to substantial charterrate volatility in FY1718. We believe there are significant risks to petroleum tanker charter rates on vessel oversupply worries. The orderbooktofleet ratio has risen to 17%, a historical high, with major deliveries in FY17. Meanwhile, crude shipping demand could taper due to slowing oil inventorybuilding activities. The charterrate correction should hit MISC on its low termtospot ratio, currently running at 70:30, while charter expiries in FY1718 could see yield declines. We expect the petroleum core PBT to contract 27% yoy in FY16, mainly on lower yield assumptions and margin pressure on higher bunker costs. Downgrade to SELL with lower target price of RM6.70 We trim our FY1618E earnings by 517%, after taking into account falling yields in the LNG and petroleum segments. We have switched our valuation method to EV/EBITDA from PER to better reflect the operational structure. All in, we cut our SOTPbased 12M TP to RM6.70 (from RM8.60), on an implied FY16E 14x PER.

This was mainly due to the symbiotic relationship with PETRONAS, which contracts with MISC for all its LNG shipping requirements. PETRONAS is also the largest shareholder of MISC, with a 62.7% stake. The arrangement has led to better earnings visibility and higher profitability, due to longer contractual terms and higher charter rates. Hence, MISC s LNG segment generally is more profitable than other segments, averaging 55% core PBT margin.

The compensation gain was in relation to the early terminations of Aman Bintulu and Aman Hakata, which came as a surprise. The latest terminations came on the heels of the terminations of another two LNG contracts in 4QFY15 which related to Tenaga Dua and Tenaga Tiga.

The charters were also terminated at a time when charter rates were low amid oversupply of LNG vessels, and exposed MISC to rate volatility. Management does not expect further terminations in the near future but we reckon the latest episode may raise some concerns on MISC s earnings visibility, given its heavy reliance on PETRONAS charters.

We attribute the yield decline to: (i) the early terminations of Tenaga Dua and Tenaga Tiga; (ii) expiry of Puteri Delima; (iii) expiry of Seri Bakti; (iv) higher drydocking activities; and (v) a lower termtospot charter ratio. The 5 vessels totaled about 16% of LNG shipping capacity in dwt terms.

We are forecasting yields to stay flattish in FY1718, as we take into account the delivery of 5 new builds on a staggered basis over the next 36 months, which should partially cushion the impact of the 5 idling vessels seeking spot charters. We estimate that up to 5 vessels will be running on spot rates in FY16, compared to 2 vessels in FY15. This has lowered the termtospot ratio to 80:20, a significant decline considering MISC used to run most, if not all, LNG vessels on longterm charters. Given the circumstances, LNG segment could be subject to higher risk of LNG charter rate volatility, which we analyse in the following commentary. Fig 6: LNG orderbooktofleet ratio Fig 7: LNG charter rates since 2012 Total in service Orderbook as a % of fleet Total on order Spot Rates 3 Year Time Charter , , , ,000 80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 Source: Bloomberg Source: Company Charter rates under pressure According to the International Gas Union, while global LNG trade reached a historic high of 250 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), global nominal liquefaction capacity outstripped demand by 50mtpa, suggesting overcapacity in the LNG supply stream. A total of 29 LNG carriers were delivered in 2015, representing approximately 7% of total global active vessels. By contrast, LNG global trade only grew 2% yoy or by 4.7 mt to 250 mtpa in the same period. As a result, charter rates were halved in 2015 to U$38k/d for spot and declined by 26% to U$29k/d ytd. LNG charter rates to stay low on overcapacity In 2016, we expect LNG charter rates to stay low, weighed down primarily by vessel overcapacity. 43 vessels are expected to be delivered in 2016 or 11% of total global active vessels. By contrast, LNG demand is only expected to grow by 7% yoy or 17.5 mtpa, judging by the historical growth rate since Taking into account more than 40 vessels which are currently laying idle, the LNG market oversupply situation could worsen in Meanwhile, the orderbooktofleet ratio is hovering around 32%, close to its historical high.

5 28 June 2016 Petroleum segment correction expected Petroleum turns profitable in FY15 on higher charter rates A large part of MISC s earnings outperformance in FY15 can be attributed to its petroleum arm that has staged a turnaround on a record charter rates rally. MISC s petroleum segment, led by wholly owned subsidiary AET Tankers (AET), is the market leader in US Gulf lightering operations where it manages the transfer of crude oil from very large crude carriers (VLCC) to smaller Aframax tankers to the refineries. AET currently owns and charters a total of 81 petroleum tankers, including 12 VLCCs, 4 Suezmax and 49 Aframax. The petroleum segment, which had been bleeding for several years, marked a return to profitability in FY15 with a core PBT of U$138.5m. Fig 8: Petroleum tanker breakdown Panamax 1.0 DP Shuttle 4.0 LR2 3.0 MR2 8.0 VLCC 12.0 Suezmax 4.0 Fig 9: Petroleum segment financials (U$) Revenue Core PBT 1,200 1, Source: Company Aframax A 2013A 2014A 2015A Source: Affin Hwang, Company Low termtospot ratio to expose MISC to rate volatility Tanker owners generally enjoyed a good run in FY15, buoyed by higher charter rates, mainly due to: (i) strong growth in oil trade sparked by lower crude prices; (ii) sluggish fleet growth; and (iii) lower bunker prices. Similar to the LNG segment, we use petroleum tanker yields as a better gauge for petroleum segment performance, which is measured by total revenue divided by total dwt. MISC s petroleum tanker yields rose sharply by 24% yoy in FY15, led by higher blended charter rates, which was in line with the charter rate rally in all petroleum vessel classes (VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax). Based on our analysis, we find that MISC s petroleum tanker yields generally correlate with Aframax 3year average charter rates (+28% yoy), unsurprising given the heavy mix of Aframax in MISC s vessels portfolio (50% of total dwt with 49 vessels). Many charters were renewed in FY1415 to take advantage of the higher charter rates. However, what is also pertinent is that the charter durations were comparatively shorter at 2 years, which could expose MISC s to substantial charterrate volatility in FY1718 when the contracts are up for renewal. The termtospot ratio is at 70:30. Page 5 of 14

Sluggish tonnage supply in recent years is expected to accelerate in FY17 with aggressive newbuild deliveries. Strong charter rates in have spurred several newdelivery orders for petroleum tankers. According to Bloomberg estimates, the orderbooktofleet ratio has risen to more than 17% (in dwt terms). Crude tanker supply is expected to grow by 6% yoy or 108 vessels in FY16. FY17 could see higher supply growth at 14% yoy or 250 vessels, while demolition activity is likely to stay subdued, thanks to unattractive scrapping prices, according to data provided by MISC.

The glut of cheap oil incentivizes countries to stockpile. Largescale stockpiling by China and India seeking to boost their strategic petroleum reserves has buoyed crude shipping demand. However, we believe that largescale stockpiling could turn damaging in the longer term, especially when countries start running down inventories which would reduce fleet utilisation. In other words, rising inventory levels could curb crude shipping demand, as it reduces the need for imports, assuming demand stays constant. Charter rates correlate with oil inventory buildup Data on oil storage capacity to estimate stockpiling is hard to come by. Hence, we take the inventorybuilding activities direction as an approximation for crude shipping demand growth. Putting our hypothesis to the test, we attempt to analyse the effect of global oil trade flows on MISC by plotting total implied oil balance (total global oil production net of total global oil consumption), a broad indicator of inventorybuilding activities, against Aframax 3year charter rates, which share the highest correlation with MISC s tanker yields. Our results show that the two are highly correlated at 0.9x, suggesting that charter rates are closely aligned with oil inventorybuildup activities.

The US EIA estimates that global petroleum and other liquid fuel inventory builds will average 1m b/d in 2016 and 0.3m b/d in Inventory building is expected to continue throughout the first half of 2017, but at a decreasing rate. More importantly, EIA expects the first inventory draw of 0.1m b/d to happen in the third quarter of 2017, which could signal a reversal or a dampener to crude shipping demand. Taking into account the aggressive fleet growth amid tepid shipping demand, we are of the view that there are prevailing risks to charter rates. Page 7 of 14

Historically, secondhand tanker values enjoy rallies commensurate to the charter market due to their high correlation, with a time lapse of 12 months. Volatility in charter rates often leads to asset plays, where shipping vessel values could double in a matter of few short years. Surprisingly, we did not see such a scenario pan out in FY15. To illustrate, Aframax spot charter rates rose 69% yoy but the same secondhand vessel value barely moved 18% yoy in FY15. We believe this was partly attributed to the expectations of accelerated newbuilds coming online in FY17. In addition, the poor scrapping prices are likely to keep demolition low and should not be enough to offset the newbuilds. The subdued asset prices also spilled over to the newbuilds, as list prices for a new Aframax were flat yoy. We believe this could be a sign that vessel owners are increasingly reluctant to invest in both new and old vessels, suggesting that potential oversupply worries have been priced into asset values.

In fact, US crude exports actually declined 4% qoq and 9% yoy in February We believe the impact on charter rates remains limited in the short term due to the muted shipping demand from the US. The currently narrow WTIBrent also does not generally support significant crude oil exports out of the US as the discount is insufficient to compensate for the cost of shipping overseas and insurance. Fig 15: US exports of crude oil m bbl Fig 16: WTIBrent spread (U$) Source: EIA Source: Bloomberg 8 newbuilds to boost capacity by 17% In view of the weaker charterrate outlook, MISC is actively taking steps to mitigate the lower tanker yields by boosting its vessel capacity. 8 newbuilds are to be delivered in FY1718, which should add approximately 1m dwt or 12% to the fleet. MISC has also entered into an agreement with Paramount Tankers Corp for the acquisition of the remaining 50% of 6 Aframax vessels. All in, total petroleum tankers dwt would be boosted by 17% by FY18, however, still insufficient to compensate for the decline in charter rates. Petroleum tankers yield to fall We estimate that tanker yields will fall by 5% yoy in FY16, 10% yoy in FY17 and 5% yoy in FY18 as accelerated fleet growth and tepid crude shipping demand dampen charter rates. We expect yields to drop substantially in FY17, as most charters would have expired by then. Consequently, we expect petroleum segment core PBT (US$) to decline 23% yoy in FY16 and 8% yoy in FY17 on yield declines and margin pressure from higher bunker prices, before a slight rebound of 1% yoy in FY18, due to the fullyear contribution from newbuild deliveries.

10 28 June 2016 Valuation and recommendation Weaker earnings expected in FY1718 We are revising our forecasts and finetuning our assumptions. We cut our FY1618 earnings forecasts by 517%, mainly driven by lower yield assumptions for the LNG and petroleum segments. We have also imputed the acquisition of: (i) the remaining 50% of Paramount Tankers Corp; and (ii) the remaining 50% of GumusutKakap semisubmersible FPS into our forecasts. Our assumption changes are detailed below: (i) LNG segment we expect LNG tanker yields to decline by 10% yoy in FY16, 10% yoy in FY17 and 2% yoy in FY18, mainly due to lower termtospot ratios. We estimate up to 5 vessels, or 20% of the LNG vessels, will be seeking spot charter rates which are significantly lower than the respective agreed charter rates before termination. We have yet to take into account the risks of vessels being drydocked, which would be a drag on yields. We have also assumed slightly lower PBT margins to take into account the higher bunker prices. As a result, we estimate LNG segment to decline 27% yoy in FY16, with growth of 1% yoy in FY17 and 2% yoy in FY18, mainly due to the new builds in FY17 which should boost capacity by 14%. (ii) Petroleum segment we expect petroleum tanker yields to decline by 10% yoy in both FY16 and FY17 and by 5% in FY18 on charterrate corrections amid heavy newbuild deliveries in FY17. We also expect some margin contraction as bunker prices have rallied in line with higher crude oil prices. Charterrate volatility is likely to have an impact on earnings, as the bulk of Aframax still runs on spot. All in, we estimate petroleum segment core PBT (US$) to contract 27% yoy in FY16 and 8% yoy in FY17 before a slight rebound of 1% yoy in FY18 on newbuild deliveries. Page 10 of 14

11 28 June 2016 Downgrade to SELL with a lower target price of RM6.70 Postearnings revisions, we downgrade our rating to SELL from Hold with a lower 12month target price of RM6.70 (from RM8.60) as we switch our valuation method to EV/EBITDA from PER to better reflect the company s operational structure. We have also imputed a 10% holdingcompany discount to our SOTP valuation. The breakdown of our SOTP is as follows: (i) 2016E 8x EV/EBITDA for LNG, in line with peers; (ii) 2016E 6x EV/EBITDA for Petroleum, in line with peers; (iii) 2016E 6x EV/EBITDA for Offshore, lower than peers, to take into account the slowing EPC projects; (iv) Secondhand fleet value for lossmaking Chemical segment; (v) Our TP of RM1.25 for the 66.5%owned Heavy Engineering; (vi) 1x book value for the associates; and (vii) 10% holding company discount.
