MR D.I.Y. Group (M) (MRDIY MK)

Home improvement retail heavyweight; fairly valued

Largest home improvement retailer in Malaysia Mr D.I.Y. Group Malaysia (MDGM) is the largest homegrown home

improvement retailer in Malaysia with a store network of 688 stores as at

end-3Q20 (2019: 593 stores). Not only does MDGM have a presence in

every state, it also has 4 stores located in Brunei. MDGM has 656 “MR.

D.I.Y.” stores, 28 “MR. TOY” stores and 4 “MR. DOLLAR” stores in

Malaysia. All its stores are directly owned with no franchise or agency

arrangements. “MR.D.I.Y.” stores carry c.16,600 SKUs per store and

recorded c.9.2m transactions per month on average in 3Q20.

Competitive advantage against peers MDGM operates in a relatively fragmented market which provided a key

opportunity to carve out a dominant market position with 29% share of

the home improvement market in 2019 in terms of revenue. Leveraging

on its vast network of stores, it enjoys economies of scale that allow it

to sell its products at very competitive pricing and with strong cashflows,

average payback periods have been less than two years for its stores in

FY16 and FY17. Based on Frost & Sullivan data, the home improvement

retail sector in Malaysia is still underpenetrated, and is projected to

grow 10.2% CAGR, from MYR7.7b in 2019 to MYR12.5b in 2024.

3-year net profit CAGR of 22% We estimate a 3-year (FY19-FY22E) net profit CAGR of 22%, driven

largely by a 3-year revenue CAGR of 19% and pre-tax profit margin

increase to 21% in FY22E from 19% in FY19. Our earnings estimates have

imputed for new store expansion of 175 (net) stores p.a. in Malaysia

while its Brunei stores remain at 4 stores. In terms of SSSG, we expect it

to fall -5% in FY20 on the back of domestic store closures (from 18 Mar to

3 May) during the movement control order led by the outbreak of COVID-

19. That said, we project SSSG to rebound to 13% in FY21 before

normalising to a steadier pace of +2% in FY22.

Target price of MYR3.05 We peg MDGM’s earnings to 37x FY21 PER to derive our target price of

MYR3.05. Our target PER multiple implies a 20% premium to its FY21

regional peer market weighted average of 31x given MDGM’s higher 3-

year (FY19-FY22E) net profit CAGR of 22% against its regional peer

average of 9%. MDGM’s PEG of 1.7x at the current share price of

MYR2.98, is also more favourable relative to its peer average of 7.1x.

improvement retailer in Malaysia, with an estimated 29%

market share in FY19 by revenue.

As at end-3Q20, it had 656 “MR. D.I.Y.” stores across

Malaysia and Brunei. It also operates 28 stores in Malaysia

Industry Drivers

MDGM’s market share by revenue

Source: Company, Maybank Kim Eng

1. Frost & Sullivan believes Malaysia’s home improvement

retail sector is still underpenetrated with 216.3 home

improvement retail stores per million capita as at end-

Dec 2019, which is lower than the ratios of 231.4 and

236.6 stores in Thailand and Japan respectively.

2. Frost & Sullivan projects this sector to grow at a fairly

robust pace of 10.2% CAGR, from MYR7.7b in 2019, to

MYR12.5b in 2024.

3. MDGM’s Malaysia store network of 640 as at 6 Sep 2020 is

more than 7x larger than that of its closest competitor in

the household and furnishing product category.

Financial Metrics

We project a 3-year (FY19-FY22E) revenue CAGR of 19%

mainly from higher contributions from its Malaysia

segment where the bulk of its stores are located.

Our model has imputed for 132/175/175 net new stores

p.a. from FY20E/FY21E/FY22E.

We expect MDGM’s pre-tax profit margins to increase to

21% in FY21 as the group pares down its borrowings and

interest expenses declines.

40% dividend payout policy with relatively stable capex

requirements and positive FCF generation of above

Swing Factors

Upside

Stronger-than-expected consumer demand or disposable

income growth, which would lead to increased consumer

spending and thus same-store sales growth.

Improved cost efficiencies stemming from factors such as

better sales mix or lower distribution costs that could

lead to better operating margins.

Downside

Slower-than-expected economic growth which would

dampen consumer demand and thus SSSG.

Supply disruptions and currency volatility especially since

the group imports more than 75% of its products from

China.

Slower-than-expected store openings which could

dampen revenue growth, as well as the risk of

cannibalization if too many stores are opened in the

same vicinity, leading to saturation.

MR D.I.Y. Group (M)

Investment thesis

Introduction

Mr D.I.Y. Group Malaysia (MDGM) is the largest home improvement retailer in

Malaysia. As at end-3Q20, it had a total of 684 “MR. D.I.Y.” stores across

Malaysia, with a presence in every state, and 4 stores in Brunei. MDGM has 656

“MR D.I.Y” brand stores, and it also operates 28 stores in Malaysia under the

“MR. TOY” brand and 4 stores under the “MR. DOLLAR” brand. All stores are

operated directly and not through any franchise or agency arrangements. The

stores carry about 16,600 SKUs on average per store and recorded approximately

9.2m transactions per month on average in 3Q20.

Competitive edge

MDGM’s key advantage is its dominant market position in an otherwise

fragmented segment, with an estimated 29% share of the home improvement

market in 2019 in terms of revenue. With 593 stores in Malaysia and Brunei as at

end-2019, it enjoys economies of scale that allow it to sell its products at very

competitive pricing and with strong cashflows, average payback periods have

been less than two years for stores that were opened in FY16 and FY17. Frost &

Sullivan believes that the home improvement retail sector in Malaysia is still

underpenetrated, and projects this sector to grow at a fairly robust pace of

10.2% CAGR, from MYR7.1b in 2019, to MYR12.5b in 2024.

The earnings growth drivers

Earnings growth into the near future will be driven predominantly by new MR.

D.I.Y. store openings, as management targets at least 100 net new stores in

2020. Although FY20 earnings were adversely impacted by store closures during

the movement control order (MCO 1.0, from 18 Mar to 3 May 20), MDGM

experienced a sharp sales rebound from May 20 onwards which continued on

throughout 3Q20. Hence, we expect MDGM to deliver strong same-store sales

growth (SSSG) in FY21 before normalising to a sustainable SSSG rate from FY22

onwards. Management will also continue to focus on attractive price-to-quality

product offering and convenience to its customers.

Risk factors

Risk factors include a) licensing issues whereby as at end-Oct 2019, about a

quarter of MDGM’s stores and certain of its warehousing and storage units do not

have a business licence and/or signboard licence, b) MDGM’s vulnerability to

infringement claims by third parties pertaining to its own white-label products,

c) vulnerability to disruptions in its supply chain, given that China accounts for

more than 70% of its imports, d) exchange rate fluctuations, e) labour issues

since foreign nationals accounted for 15% of its full-time employees end-1H20.

Target price of MYR3.05

We value MDGM at MYR3.05, pegging its earnings to 37x FY21 PER. Our valuation

multiple reflects a 20% premium to its ASEAN regional home improvement retail

peers given that MDGM’s 3-year (FY19-FY22E) net profit CAGR of 21.5% is

expected to outpace its regional peer average of 8.9%, while its PEG of 1.7x at

the current share price of MYR2.98, is also more favourable relative to its peer

average of 7.1x. That said, we believe that MDGM’s superior earnings CAGR

prospects have been priced in. Hence, we initiate the stock with a HOLD with an

upside of 3%.

MR D.I.Y. Group (M)

A relatively young company

A homegrown home improvement store

Mr D.I.Y. Group (Malaysia) Bhd (MDGM) traces its history back to 2005 when its

founder, Mr Tan Yu Yeh, opened his first hardware store along Jalan Tuanku

Abdul Rahman in Kuala Lumpur. What makes the story all the more interesting is

that Mr Tan was a remisier at that time, working with Inter-Pacific Securities

from 1997 to 2009, and an engineer with Komag USA (M) Sdn Bhd, prior to that

(from 1996-1997). He graduated with a BSc in Physics from University of Malaya

in 1996. MDGM was incorporated on 12 October 2010 under the name of Mr D.I.Y.

Enterprise Sdn Bhd, and assumed the name Mr D.I.Y. Group (M) Bhd on 4 June

2019.

The largest home improvement retailer in Malaysia

In a span of just 15 years, MDGM has expanded rapidly and as at end-3Q20, it

comprises 684 stores across Malaysia, with a presence in every state, and 4 stores

in Brunei. It has 656 “MR D.I.Y.” stores and also operates 28 stores in Malaysia

under the “MR. TOY” brand and 4 stores in Malaysia under their newly launched

“MR. DOLLAR” brand.

To note that MDGM’s substantial shareholders hold a controlling interest in the

retail operations under the MR. D.I.Y. brand name in Thailand, Singapore,

Indonesia, Philippines, Cambodia and Laos, but the current Licensing Agreement

for MR DIY only grants the use of the intellectual property rights in Malaysia and

Brunei (under Mr.D.I.Y. (B) Sdn Bhd [MD (B)]). MDGM acquired a 100% stake in MD

(B) for MYR104.8m in May 2019.

All stores are operated directly and not through any franchise or agency

arrangements. As at end-3Q20, all but one of the 688 stores operated on

tenanted properties, with just one that operates on owned property.

the leading distributor in Malaysia for Philips, Faber Castell, Energizer and brands

held by Procter & Gamble. Its popular white-label products include “MR. D.I.Y.”

branded batteries, hardware tools and home appliances.

In FY19 and 3Q20, the average value of a transaction in its stores was MYR22.20

and MYR26.60 respectively, with each store carrying about 16,600 SKUs on

average per store as at 3Q20. The stores recorded approximately 8.4m and 9.2m

transactions per month on average in FY19 and 3Q20 respectively.

Products sourced mainly from China

In 2019, 73.2% of MDGM’s products were imported from outside of Malaysia, with

72.4% of its products sourced from end suppliers in China. Other countries of

import include Thailand and Indonesia. MDGM purchases from more than 800 end

suppliers and its largest end supplier accounted for less than 5% of total

purchases 2019.

MDGM’s Top 5 suppliers are made up of Charterwin Trading, Alliance integrity

Trading, Win Seng Hung, Milann Bridge and Top Point Trading. A point to note

Central distribution centre in Balakong

MDGM’s central distribution centre is situated in Balakong, Seri Kembangan,

Selangor. It comprises 11 closely proximate facilities that occupy a land area of

1,257,000 sq ft, with a gross floor area of 706,000 sq ft.

MDGM has also purchased two plots of land totalling 260,000 sq ft, on which it

plans to construct its first warehousing facility which will use technology-driven

operational systems.

Additionally, MDGM has also entered into an agreement to acquire (i) a plot of

freehold land along with a warehouse building located in Balakong, Seri

Kembangan, Selangor with a total area of 80,300 sq ft. and (ii) a plot of

leasehold land located in the same aforementioned area with a total land area of

85,340 sq ft.. MDGM intends to develop both plots of land to expand its

warehouse facilities.

The distribution centre’s inventory levels are managed through Qube Pos, which

is an inventory management software system provided by the group’s associate,

Qube. MDGM currently holds a 30% equity interest in Qube, which it acquired in

June 2017 for MYR1.5m.

Two types of shop formats, almost all are leased

According to MDGM, more than 90% of MDGM’s stores were profitable as at end-

2019. Store openings have averaged more than 100 since 2017 while store

closures have been negligible at just 5-9 stores over the past four years.

MDGM’s stores come in two formats i.e. (i) retail mall-based stores and (ii)

standalone shopfront stores. The former occupy a dedicated shop space within

shopping malls/business parks while the latter occupy shop-lots in buildings. In

1H20, retail mall-based stores accounted for 58% of group revenue.

Standalone shopfront stores have seen increasing share of revenue contributions,

from just 17.4% in 2016 to 42.1% in 1H20.

According to its website, most stores are about 10,000 sq. ft. on average in size.

All “MR. D.I.Y.” stores are managed directly and in collaboration with large

retailers and mall owners, operating as a mini anchor tenant in Tesco, Giant

AEON and AEON BIG. As at 1H20, 134 of the stores were located within, or

adjacent to the premises of these retailers.

All but one of its 688 (as at end-3Q20) stores operate on tenanted properties

under lease agreements for a typical initial period of three years, with the option

to extend for multiple periods of up to three years each.

Average capex spent on opening a new store (excluding inventory) has averaged

between MYR552k and MYR581k per store from FY16 to 1H20, with an average

payback period of under two years in FY16 and FY17.

Each store is staffed on average by 13 employees which include a supervisor and

two assistant supervisors. Store staff are incentivised with monetary bonuses for

meeting sales targets for selected products and for reducing the loss of stock at

their store.

Online sales are also possible through the group’s own dedicated e-commerce

website www.mrdiy.com.my and through third party e-commerce retail

platforms such as Shopee (launched in Nov 2017) and Lazada (Nov 2018). In 1H20,

e-commerce sales via its own and third party e-commerce platforms accounted

for 1.6% of total sales revenue.

A fair share of non-national employees

MDGM employed a total of 10,249 full-time staff and 21 staff on a contract basis

as at end-1H20. Of its total full-time staff, 1,527 or 14.9% were non-Malaysian

nationals. About 46.8% of its employees were compensated at the Malaysian

statutory minimum wage of MYR1,200 per month.

Competitive strengths

A dominant market position

MDGM’s key advantage is its dominant market position in an otherwise

fragmented market segment. According to Frost & Sullivan, MDGM is today the

largest home improvement retailer in Malaysia with an estimated market share of

29.1% in 2019, based on FY19 revenue. In fact, given the group’s rapid growth,

MDGM’s market share has expanded at a fast pace, rising from just 15.5% in 2016

to 29.1% in a span of just three years.

Fig 14: MDGM’s market share by revenue

Based on most recent data from Frost & Sullivan, MDGM’s Malaysia store network

of 640 (as at 6 Sep 2020) is currently more than 7x larger than that of its closest

competitor in the household and furnishing product category. Moreover, it is the

only home improvement retailer with a presence in every state in Malaysia.

MDGM’s dominant position will be further enhanced as it scales up the number of

stores that it opens, with a target of at least 100 additional stores in 2020.

Operating in an under-penetrated market

Frost & Sullivan believes that the home improvement retail sector in Malaysia is

still underpenetrated, and will continue to grow amid increasing urbanization

and household income. Malaysia has approximately 216.3 home improvement

retail stores per million people as at end-Dec 2019, which is lower than the ratios

of 236.6 and 231.4 stores in Japan and Thailand respectively.

Moreover, Frost & Sullivan projects this sector of the economy to grow at a fairly

robust pace of 10.2% CAGR, from MYR7.7b in 2019, to MYR12.5b in 2024.

Competitive pricing with large product variety

MDGM’s wide network of stores has allowed it to source for its stocks at very

competitive prices, capitalizing on its economies of scale. The company sources

its products from over 800 end suppliers, with China accounting for more than

70% of total products in 2019. To optimize its per-unit logistics costs,

management usually consolidates its import purchases from end suppliers in

China into full container loads before shipping.

Leverage from strong cash flows and efficiencies

MDGM’s operational track record has allowed the group the flexibility to rapidly

expand its network for economies of scale, while further enhancing its rapport

with suppliers via rapid settlement practices. Strong cashflow generation has also

translated to shorter payback periods averaging less than 2 years for its stores in

FY16 and FY17.

Revenue growth has been strong with a historical 3-year (FY16-FY19) revenue

CAGR of 40%, driven by aggressive store openings and positive SSSG (0.9% in

2016, 6.5% in 2017, 4.5% in 2018 and 1.8% in 2019).

Cost efficiencies have kept margins high. Cost efficiencies have stemmed

from factors such as (a) economies of scale from the expanding store

network, (b) the direct sourcing of products, (c) cost minimization through

centrally managed inventory management and product distribution systems

and (d) the maintenance of its own delivery fleet of 94 trucks. As a result,

EBITDA margins held up over 28% from FY16-FY19 while net profit margins

averaged at about 17%.

Strong cashflow generation has translated to short payback periods of less

than two years in FY16 and FY17 across its stores on average.

Future plans

Management’s future plans and strategies for the business include:

Continued store network expansion. Management targets at least 100 net

new “MR D.I.Y.” stores in 2020.

Delivering positive same-store sales growth (SSSG). With the exception of

FY20, where SSSG is expected to be negative as a result of store closures

during MCO1.0 but partially mitigated by sharp sales recovery post MCO 1.0,

we estimate that MDGM will be able to report positive SSSG from FY21

onwards by increasing its brand awareness, aided in part by the store

network expansion. Management will also continue to focus on attractive

price-to-quality product offering and convenience to its customers. Average

SSSG was 0.9%, 6.5%, 4.5% and 1.8% in FY16, FY17, FY18 and FY19

respectively.

The introduction of new retail formats. The first “MR. TOY” store was

opened in May 2019, focusing on selling products for babies and children and

as at end-3Q20, 28 “MR. TOY” stores had been opened. Additionally, MDGM

opened their maiden “MR. DOLLAR” store on 7 Aug 2020, selling a variety of

products ranging from food and beverage to toiletries and hardware tools.

All products are priced at either MYR2 or MYR5 per item. As at end-3Q20,

there are 4 “MR. DOLLAR” stores in operation with a target to reach 10

stores by end-FY20. We believe that MDGM intends to continue expanding

the number of both “MR. TOY” and “MR. DOLLAR” stores in the near future.

Shareholders of MDGM

The major shareholders of MDGM are the Bee Family Ltd, Hyptis (which is a

subsidiary of private equity Creador Funds) and Platinum Alphabet.

Source: Company

MDGM’s 3Q20 revenue grew 32% YoY predominantly due to (i) increased store

footfall given eased lockdown measures during the quarter which led to strong

consumer spending and higher customer transactions in stores, and (ii) higher

sales contributions from new store openings. MDGM opened +48 new stores in

3Q20 which brings its total store count to 688 stores (“MR. D.I.Y.”: 656, “MR.

TOY”: 28, “MR. DOLLAR”: 4) The group’s gross profit margin also lifted 2 ppts

YoY on better product mix.

As such, 3Q20’s pre-tax profit increased 59% YoY. MDGM’s other operating

income was 2.7x higher in 3Q20 aided by MYR4.6m in rental rebates (from store

closures during the movement control order [MCO] period) while administrative

expenses and other operating expenses grew 2x and 23% YoY respectively mainly

due to higher staff costs from its store expansion.

MDGM’s 3Q20 tax rate was also higher at 27% (+2 ppts YoY) due to the portion of

non-tax deductible items, arising from its borrowings in FY19.

Minimal operational impact from MCO 2.0

On 13 Jan 21, rising cases of COVID-19 forced the Government to announce MCO

2.0 with tighter social distancing measures covering 6 states within Peninsula

Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor, Penang, Melaka and Sabah). MCO 2.0

was later extended to all Malaysian states (except Sarawak) on 19 Jan (to 4 Feb

21). Although MCO 2.0 is still in force currently, we take comfort that its

restrictions are not as rigid as compared to MCO 1.0. Most importantly, more

services are allowed to operate during this time including all of MDGM’s stores.

3-year forward revenue CAGR of 19%

We derive a 3-year (FY19-FY22E) revenue CAGR of 19% primarily from MDGM’s

Malaysia segment where the bulk of its stores are located. Key assumptions

include the following:

100 net new MR DIY stores p.a. from FY20-FY22E. With 579 stores

under its belt as at end-2019 (9M20: +77 stores), we expect MDGM to

open at least another 100 stores p.a.. We have imputed all of its new

stores to be opened in Malaysia while keeping its store count in Brunei

stable as MDGM leverages on its domestic stronghold. This translates to

13%-17% new MR DIY store growth for MDGM as a whole from FY20-FY22.

Growing store count for MDGM’s other retail concept stores. As at

end-2019, MDGM had 14 MR TOY existing stores with a target to open 22

additional stores in FY20. “MR. DOLLAR”, the group’s newest retail

concept store, opened its maiden store in Aug 20 and is expected to

grow its store network by 50 stores in FY20. We have assumed for

22/25/25 new MR TOY stores and 50/50/50 new “MR. DOLLAR” stores

for FY20/FY21/FY22.

Blended SSSG to trend higher. As at end-2019, MDGM reported an

overall SSSG growth of +1.8% for its Malaysia and Brunei stores,

reflecting slower growth against its FY18 SSSG of +4.5%. This was due to

significantly weaker retail sales in 4Q19 in tandem with an overall

weaker Malaysian 4Q19 GDP growth of 3.6%. For FY20, the global

pandemic resulted in a nationwide lockdown in Malaysia from 18 Mar to

4 May (MCO 1.0) where MDGM’s stores were deemed non-essential

services and were not allowed to operate. This led to a drop in MDGM’s

1H20 SSSG to -24.6%. Positively, when MDGM’s store operations resumed

in May 20, the group experienced pent up consumer demand which led

to a sales rebound in the month of May and Jun 20 (Fig 29) thereby

resulting in strong SSSG in 3Q20 of +10.8%. Although consumer sentiment

remains weak, we believe that MR DIY stores are well positioned to

benefit from consumer downtrading given its competitively priced

products which cater to mass market consumers. Hence, we ascribe -

5%/+13%/+2% SSSG from FY20-FY22E to account for its fast pace

recovery in business activity in 2H20. Our model pencilled in an average

revenue/store p.a. of <MYR1m for MYR TOY and c.MYR1m for MR TOY.

Administrative expenses

MDGM’s administrative expenses mostly comprised of employee benefits,

advertising and rental expenses. Employee benefits incurred relate to its

corporate headquarters. In accordance with MFRS 16, rental expenses incurred

relate to short term leases which are less than twelve months or those of low

value assets (eg. advertising space and land). We estimate that administrative

expenses will amount to a stable c.3% of revenue in FY20-FY22E, similar to its

historical average.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses represented 18% of revenue in FY19 where the majority

of this came from employee benefits (in relation to employees from its

distribution centre, warehousing facilities and stores) and utilities expense

incurred at MDGM’s stores and warehouse facilities. In FY19, employee benefits

and utilities expenses accounted for 49% and 9% respectively of total other

operating expenses while other expenses, which include transport, upkeep and

maintenance, levy charges, rental and depreciation and amortisation costs made

up the remaining 42%.

For employee benefit costs, we estimate a 19%-34% growth in FY20-FY22 in

tandem with MDGM’s store openings targets and the recent rise in minimum wage

to MYR1,200 per month (from MYR1,100 per month previously) for major cities

within Malaysia, effective 1 Feb 2020. As at 1H20, 47% of MDGM’s staff force is

compensated at minimum wage of which c.15% are foreign workers. Meanwhile,

we estimate FY20 growth in utility costs at a lower 2%, which accounts for the

store closures during MCO 1.0 but impute a 17%-41% increase in utility costs for

FY21-FY22 led by its new store opening targets and warehouse facility expansion.

Expecting effective tax to normalise

MDGM reported an average 25% effective tax rate from FY16-FY19 but we expect

a higher effective tax rate in FY20 of 26% given the presence of higher non-tax

deductible items from IPO expenses and a portion of interest expense. That said,

our effective tax rate projections for FY21 and FY22 are reduced to 24% p.a. as

we expect MDGM to substantially pare down its debt in FY20.

3-year net profit CAGR of 22%

Taking into account the assumptions that we have illustrated in regards to

topline growth, we project a 3-year net profit (FY19-FY22E) CAGR of 22% for

MDGM with expectations for FY20/FY21/FY22 net profit growth to increase by

and an estimated 0%/54%/16%.

Turning net cash in FY21

As at end-2019, MDGM’s cash balance stood at MYR141m with total gross short

term debt of MYR12m and total long-term debt of MYR612m which resulted in a

net debt position of MYR483m. The bulk of its long-term debt comprises of a

MYR422m term loan and MYR187m in revolving credits. To note that MDGM took

out a MYR400m term loan and MYR200m revolving credit facililty in Mar and Apr

2019 for the purpose of financing capex, working capital and general corporate

purposes which included the distribution of dividends of MYR500m in FY19 and

the acquisition of Mr. D.I.Y. (B) Sdn Bhd. As such, MDGM’s net gearing increased

to 1.4x in FY19 versus 0.04x in FY18. With the listing proceeds, capex plans and

MDGM’s intention to pare down debt, we expect the group to return to a slight

net cash position from FY21 onwards.

Capex expenditure requirements

We have assumed for new store opening costs for “MR. D.I.Y.” to be

c.MYR620k/store while the cost of opening a new store for “MR. TOY” and “MR.

DOLLAR” is estimates to be c.MYR650k/store and MYR550k/store (excluding

inventory) respectively. On that basis, we estimate total store capex to amount

to MYR111m p.a. in FY20-FY22E based on our assumptions for 100 new “MR.

D.I.Y.” stores p.a., 22-25 new “MR. TOY” stores p.a. and 50 “MR. DOLLAR” stores

p.a.. Note that we also imputed for MDGM to acquire a piece of land and

warehouse facility for c.MYR30m in FY20. After accounting for the above, we

estimate FY20/FY21/FY22 capex to be MYR134m/MYR111m/MYR111m.

Imputing a dividend payout ratio of 40%

MDGM is targeting a dividend payout policy of at least 40% of net profit. Hence,

our forecast has also assumed a payout ratio of 40%. We estimate dividend per

share (DPS) of 2.1sen/3.3sen/3.8sen for FY20/FY21/FY22 which implies dividend

yields of c.1% p.a. MDGM paid out MYR502m in dividends in FY19.

January 29, 2021 24

MR D.I.Y. Group (M)

Valuations

Favouring a PER methodology

We believe that MDGM is well positioned for robust 3-year (FY19-FY22) net profit

CAGR of 22% as it sits within a relatively underpenetrated home retail industry

supported by consistent store network expansion and sustainable contributions

from its matured stores. With MDGM’s long-term growth potential, we favour a

PER valuation methodology to value the stock.

Target price of MYR3.05

We peg MDGM’s earnings to 37x FY21 PER to derive our target price of MYR3.05.

Our target PER multiple implies a 20% premium to its FY21 regional peer market

weighted average of 31x, which consists of 5 listed home improvement retailers

within the ASEAN region. Note that Home Product Center, ACE hardware, Wilcon

Depot and AllHome Corp are based on MKE forecasts.

MDGM’s 3-year (FY19-FY22E) net profit CAGR of 22% is expected to significantly

outpace its ASEAN regional peer average net profit CAGR of only 9% given its

domestic mass market appeal through its low price-point items, coupled with

expectations of consumer-downtrading amid the global pandemic. MDGM’s PEG

of 1.7x at the current share price of MYR2.98, also compares favourably relative

to its peer average of 7.1x. That said, we believe MDGM’s superior earnings CAGR

prospects have already been priced in, as reflected in its 20% valuation premium

against its regional peers. Hence, we initiate HOLD on MDGM with a 3% upside.

Separately, with the 86% increase in MDGM’s share price since its listing on 26

Oct 20 (IPO listing price: MYR1.60), its market cap has grown to MYR18.7b,

making it the 26th largest stock on the Malaysian exchange (Fig 41). MDGM’s

potential inclusion as a FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) constituent in its

next semi-annual review in Jun 2021 will depend on the rise of its market cap

ranking to No. 25 or above based on the market closing price on the third Friday

in Jun 2021 (i.e. 18 Jun).

MR D.I.Y. Group (M)

Key risk factors

Key risk factors for MDGM include, but are not restricted to, those stated below.

Major licences, permits & approvals

As at end-Oct 2019, about a quarter of MDGM’s stores and certain of its

warehousing and storage units in Malaysia do not have a business licence and/or

signboard licence. This is due to delays in either licence renewal or the

application of new licences. Each of the affected store accounted for 0.2% on

average of the group’s revenue for FY18.

Its warehouses have not been issued with fire certificates, which the Board

endeavours to obtain by December 2022. As for one of its warehouses, the issue

surrounding its non-compliant roof structure will have to be resolved before the

licences and fire certificate can be obtained.

Vulnerable to infringement claims by third parties

Given that MDGM carries its own white-label products, this opens up the company

to the risk that third parties may claim that its sale of a certain product breaches

the third party’s intellectual property rights. Since MDGM does not have written

contracts with its end suppliers for such products, it may not have contractual

recourse to its end suppliers for such claims.

Vulnerable to disruption in supply chain

MDGM sources a sizeable amount of its products from foreign end suppliers,

particularly in China, which accounts for more than 70% of its imports. MDGM is,

as such, vulnerable to major changes in tax or trade policies or tariffs in China

which may adversely impact its business.

Exchange rate fluctuations

While MDGM makes all payments for its imports in MYR, it is exposed to foreign

exchange rate fluctuations, particularly against the RMB and USD. The company

has yet to enter into any hedging transactions to reduce its exposure to foreign

currency exchange risk.

Labour issues

MDGM is dependent, to some extent, on foreign nationals, which accounted for

15% of its full-time employees at 1H20. Any changes in Malaysia’s policies

towards foreign nationals could affect the company’s labour needs. Moreover,

MDGM is also exposed to upward revisions in minimum wage laws.
