Deutsche Bank Asian High Yield Research Highlights


MIE Holdings Corporation: One of the best values in Asia HY (d)
MIE 2016s (7.1% ytm) & 2018s (8.0% ytm) arguably offer one of the best values in the Asian HY space at gross leverage of only about 2x. This is
evident in Figure 1. We do acknowledge that these bonds have looked cheap for a while and still slightly underperformed this year. So what could be the
catalyst for them to finally perform? We believe a decent set of results reported yesterday is a good start, especially after the profit warning. Going
forward, we would like to see continued successful expansion in Kazakhstan & SGE to provide growth as China oil fields are maturing, bridging of the
small funding gap (as explained later), potential call of the 2016s (first callable in May'14), removal of the overhang from Petrochina investigation, and
perhaps a turnaround in equity price (down almost 20% ytd). None of these catalysts might play out in the immediate future, so investors will need to be
patient and be content with (high) carry in the interim. Note that we currently don't expect the 2016s to be called as MIE will likely need to tap the bond
market for the same, which it is unlikely to do at current levels in our view.

China Property Credit: Jan/Feb sales showing signs of weakness (e)


About two-thirds of the Chinese property issuers that we monitor have released their contracted sales in the first two months. Overall contracted sales
of property issuers rose 14% yoy in 2M14, underpinned by a 1% increase in volume and a 13% rise in prices. That said, the 14% yoy growth rate has
decelerated remarkably from a sharp growth of 113% yoy in 2M13. While this slowdown in sales growth should not come at a surprise, given a larger
base of last year and when sales rebounded significantly in 2013, a worrying trend we observe from the Jan/Feb sales is: Most developers recorded
negative sales growth year-on-year. The sales were concentrated in several big developers including China Vanke, Country Garden, and Evergrande. 17
out of 27 developers saw sales declines in the past two months. 18 of them experienced negative yoy growth in volume, although 18 posted positive
growth in prices. As a result, overall sales fell 5% yoy and volume dropped 14% yoy in 2M14 in terms of the median average.
