Elixir of youth
First Resources' 1Q13 results cement our conviction of its superior
operating efficiency over peers. Its young estates offer strong FFB
prospects, partially mitigating lower CPO prices. Low production costs
render it one of the most profitable planters under our coverage.
We initiate coverage with an
Outperform and S$2.22 target price,
based on 12.3x CY14 P/E (1SD above
its 4-year mean). Re-rating catalysts
are expected from higher FFB
production and potential dividend
uplifts when free cash flows
strengthen from 2014.

Strong FFB growth partially

offsets lower CPO prices
We anticipate palm oil

prices to remain volatile
this year. However the
softer CPO price will
encourage increased
usage of palm oil for food
and non-food uses.

Current
Target
We expect additional income from its

refinery expansion. First Resources
currently refines just half of its CPO
output. With a new 600,000-tonne
refinery coming on stream in 2H13,
it will be able to refine its entire CPO
production. This will allow the group
to sell its palm products at higher
prices as refined palm products
attract
lower
export
taxes.
Downstream expansion should also
help the group cope better with
excess supply or high inventories
than pure upstream planters.
Transforming into a cash

cow
Free cash flows should improve
markedly in FY14 when capex scales
down and operating cash flows
improve. We think there is room for
higher dividend payouts if no M&A
opportunities surface.
Financial Summary
Relative to FSSTI (RHS)
2.2
Amid our expectations of lower CPO

prices this year, we advocate stocks
that offer strong FFB growth
prospects to cushion lower ASPs and
higher production costs. First
Resources fares well in this regard.
Its estates are nine years old on
average, and are just entering the
prime of their productivity cycle.
FFB growth from these estates,
coupled with its recent acquisition of
brownfield estates, should jack up its
FFB output by 10% in FY13, we
estimate, although group FFB yields
may
be
diluted
by
the
newly-acquired estates in the near
term.

First Resources
1.1 Integrated palm-oil producer in Indonesia

First Resources is an integrated palm-oil producer based in Indonesia, with
operations spanning from planting and milling to refining. It owns 137,476 ha
of nucleus estates and 12 CPO mills with an operating capacity of 4.05m tonnes
per annum. On top of this, it owns 21,261 ha of plasma estates, which represent
13% of its total estates.
First Resources ranks 10th in our plantations universe in terms of area of
planted estates and mature estates, but is the fifth-largest of listed
Indonesia-based planters. The size of its planted estates trails that of
behemoths such as Sime Darby (552,805 ha) and Golden Agri-Resources
(366,914 ha).
Besides upstream operations, First Resources has a 250,000-tonne p.a. refinery
which processes about half its CPO production (total of 525,831 tonnes in FY12)
into higher-value refined products such as olein and biodiesel.
CPO sales form the bulk of its revenue currently, but its sales mix should
increasingly shift towards refined palm oil as new refining capacity comes on
stream. A new 600,000-tonne refinery will be commissioned in 2H13, allowing
First Resources to processes its entire CPO production in-house. This facility
will also give First Resources the flexibility to refine third-party CPO when
margins are favourable.

SOURCES: CIMB, COMPANY REPORTS
1.2 Beginnings
Established in 1992, First Resources started planting that year and
commissioned its first palm-oil mill in 1998. It has been expanding its estates
rapidly since. It was listed on the Singapore Exchange in 2007. Over the past
five years, average new planting rate was over 11,000 ha p.a. The group now
manages 158,737 ha of plantations, runs 12 mills and operates an integrated
value chain. It started refining in 2010 when it commissioned its refinery,
fractionation and biodiesel plants. Although 70% of its planted mature oil-palm
estates and downstream facilities are located in the Riau region, new planting
over the past five years had mostly concentrated in West and East Kalimantan.

outstanding CBs not converted into shares. There are no outstanding CBs.
2. OUTLOOK
2.1 Young estates behind production growth
First Resources young estates are its biggest strength. An average plantation
age of nine years renders it the planter with the second-youngest estates under
our coverage, after BW Plantations. About 24% of its trees are immature (0-3
years old), 32% young (4-7 years old), and 36% in the prime production age of
8-17 years old. Oil-palm trees require three years or so to mature, and do not
reach their peak production age for fresh fruit bunches until eight years after
planting. Their production of fresh fruit bunches gradually declines after the
age of 17.
First Resources young estates can support higher FFB production over the next
few years with manageable increases in production costs, in our view.
We forecast 10% FFB output growth for FY13 from existing estates, led by new
mature areas coming on stream. Higher volumes from nucleus estates should
shield the group from the impact of lower CPO prices.

2.2 Acquisition growth an additional kicker

In addition to growth from the coming of age of its estates, First Resources
production should be boosted by acquisitions. Some 12,600ha of additional
mature estates will be coming on stream in FY13 from its Riau and West
Kalimantan acquisitions.
To recap, the group completed the acquisition of PT Gerbang Sawit in Oct 12 for
US$31.2m and Lynhurst Investment for US$103m in Feb 13. PT Gerbang Sawit
owns 3,500 ha of mature palm-oil estates and 4,000 ha of unplanted land bank
in Riau. Lynhurst owns 8,600 ha of oil-palm estates and 11,500 ha of unplanted
area. The group paid EV/ha of around US$12,000 for Lynhursts estates and
US$10,000 for Gerbang Sawits planted estates, which we deem fair and in line
with market prices.
Its newly-acquired estates produce lower FFB yields, estimated at 10 tonnes/ha
vs. nucleus yields of 22.4 tonnes/ha. But management expects higher yields
towards the groups average within 36 months through better agri practices.
We forecast a decline in FFB yields for the group, stemming purely from its
newly-acquired estates, from 23tonnes/ha in FY12 to 19.5tonnes/ha in FY13.
But the lower yields should be compensated by a larger area of mature estates,
leading to higher FFB production.

2.3 Yielding more than its peers

First Resources operating metrics tower above its peers. Its CPO extraction
rate is the highest among planters under our coverage, at 23.3% vs. 21.6%, on
average. We believe this could be due to the close proximity of its estates to its
mills, which ensures its fresh fruit bunches arrive at the mills with minimal
spoilage. In addition, a large portion (86%) of its fruits processed in FY12 came
from its own estates, allowing for better quality control (FFB harvested at the
point of their maximum oil content).
Its FFB yield of 23 tonnes/ha is the second-highest and well above the
industrys average 19.8 tonnes/ha. We attribute this to: 1) the group's superior
age profile; 2) high mineral soil content plus rainfall of 2.1 metres per annum in
Riau, where most of its estates are located, both ideal for oil-palm trees; and 3)
superior seeds used for planting as well as the adoption of industry best
practices.

2.4 Forward sales locked in higher CPO prices

Spot CPO prices are currently 24% lower than a year ago as higher palm-oil
stocks and expectations of record soybean supplies dampen prices. The good
9
First Resources Ltd

May 21, 2013
news is that First Resources has sold forward part of its CPO for the year. As a
result, it was able to book higher CPO prices in 1Q13 against the previous year,
defying the industrys downtrend. The group was also able to outperform its
peers in net-profit growth (+28%).
We are expecting Rotterdam CPO prices to trend lower to an average of US$910
in 2013, before rising to US$950 in 2014 and US$980 in 2015. We expect CPO
prices to weaken in 2013 from a higher palm-oil stockpile, lower biodiesel
demand in Europe as governments scale back their mandates, stronger
palm-oil supply from Malaysia and expectations of soybean bumper harvests.
There is potential for CPO prices to move up in 2Q as palm oil enters its low
production cycle. But this may not last as record soybean crops are expected to
enter the market in 3Q. After which, there could be a price recovery in late 4Q
from slower palm-oil output growth and potentially higher biodiesel mandates
in Malaysia and South America.

2.5 Sensitivity analysis

As a price-taker, First Resources profits are subject to international CPO price
movements. We estimate that every 10% change in CPO prices could swing its
core net profit by 17%.

We regressed stock prices correlations to CPO prices since 2007 and found that
First Resources share price is relatively insulated from CPO price volatility,
compared with its peers. Its correlation coefficient of 0.44 is the second-lowest
in our universe, and is below the sectors average of 0.67. That said, there could
be other explanations for the variance, including differences in the planters
business models.

2.6 Higher yields boost operating efficiency

First Resources operating efficiency has allowed the group to produce CPO at
lower costs per tonne than its peers. This is critical for planters
competitiveness in times of lower CPO prices, such as today. As a result of this
and its better selling prices against peers, the group enjoys higher profitability
for its estates. First Resources generated the second-highest operating profit
per mature ha among its listed peers in FY12, testifying to its strong
management and estates youthfulness.

2.7 Sizeable landbank for expansion

Indonesias plans to limit companies estate expansion to 100,000ha will not
affect First Resources growth plans as the group has more than sufficient
landbank to underwrite its future growth via new plantings. It owns 300,000
ha: 158,737 ha planted and 141,263 ha unplanted.
It has a planting target of 15,000-20,000 ha of oil palms per year, and aims to
expand its planted area to 200,000 ha within five years. This should raise its
CPO production to 1m tonnes each year. When it reaches this milestone,
management will take stock and decide whether to expand downstream or
upstream via estate expansion.

2.8 Now an integrated palm producer, from downstream

expansion
First Resources expansion downstream has transformed it into an integrated
palm-oil producer with structurally higher profit margins. Refining not only
adds to margins but also integrates its operations.
First Resources forayed into refining by commissioning its 250,000-tonne
processing plants in 2010. These refinery, fractionation and biodiesel plants
have enabled the group to refine part of its CPO production into higher-value
products such as RBDPO (refined bleached deodorised palm oil), PFAD (palm
fatty acid distillates), RBD olein, RBD stearin, biodiesel, crude glycerine, PKE
(palm kernel expellers) and PKO (palm kernel oil).
As part of its downstream expansion, a new 600,000-tonne refinery will be
commissioned in 2H13. This will lift its refining capacity to 850,000 tonnes,
allowing First Resources to refine all of its CPO in-house and even refine third
parties CPO when margins are favourable.
2.9 Becoming a cash cow

First Resources is on the cusp of a transformation into a cash cow. Having
planted the seeds of growth in recent years, it is quite ready to reap the fruits of
its labour. Earnings growth should be powered by higher FFB and palm-oil
production as its young estates approach maturity. At the same time, capex will
taper off from FY14 once its refinery expansion is completed. Higher operating
cash inflows and lower investing outflows should strengthen its free cash flows.
By our projections, the group will be able to continue funding its capex purely
with operating cash flows.
We forecast a build-up of cash from US$405m in FY12 to US$533m in FY15.
Our forecasts assume 30% dividend payouts, though there could be room for
higher payouts in the absence of M&As. The group can improve its ROEs by
returning cash to shareholders.

3. RISKS
3.1 CPO prices and production volumes
Our 3-year EPS CAGR forecast assumes: 1) Rotterdam CPO prices of US$910 in
2013, US$950 in 2014 and US$980 in 2015; 2) a 15% CAGR for FFB production
volumes; and 3) a 40% CAGR for refining volumes. Lower-than-expected CPO
prices or softer production could result in lower profits. We estimate that every
10% fall in CPO prices could dent its net profits by 17%.
3.2 Yield compression

Our volume CAGR hinges on sustainable CPO yields of 4.6-5.2 tonnes/ha for
the next three years, which appear reasonably conservative against its yield of
5.4 tonnes/ha in FY12. CPO yields had receded from 1.5 tonnes/ha in 4M12 to
1.2 tonnes/ha in 4M13 due to tree stress, but this was still within comfort.
Volumes could be at risk if yields fall below our assumptions for reasons such as
biological tree stress and weather risks such as El Nino.
3.3 Wage inflation

First Resources cash costs should increase as a result of Indonesias wage
inflation. Wages constitute 42% of its cash costs. Fortunately, 70% of its estates
are located in Riau, where the wage hikes are more subdued at 13% vs. East
Kalimantans +49%. Wages could play a role in its future expansion plans. Its
diverse landbank across West and East Kalimantan provides options, in our
view.

3.4 Global economies

We expect major economies to grow at a moderate pace in 2013. In the short
term, the euro zones debt woes and weaker economic prospects could continue
to depress CPO prices through lower demand for edible oils and crude oil.
They could also lead to outflows of speculative investment funds from
commodity markets.
3.5 Policy risks

Planters fortunes are closely bound to government policies, not just in their
countries of operations but in competitors and customers markets. Export
15
First Resources Ltd

May 21, 2013
taxes, quotas, price ceilings or any other form of market intervention could
alter the prospects of all industry players along the value chain.
The Malaysian government recently modified the country's palm-oil export tax
to help its downstream sector in late 2012. India has also been revising its
palm-oil import duties to help its domestic refining sector. Any changes in
government export taxes for palm-oil products or import duty structures may
affect trade flows for palm oil.
3.6 Anti-palm oil lobby

The use of palm oil has increasingly run into public opposition in Western
countries, from deforestation resistance and allegations that it can cause health
problems. Palm-oil health warnings have gained much publicity in the US but
are also being disproved by academic research.
The Round Table on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), a non-profit organisation,
was formed in 2004 to help palm-oil producers deal with environmental
charges levied at palm oil by getting their palm oil certified. The initiative
involves developing a certification system for the production of sustainable
palm oil based on a set of principles and criteria to counter concerns over
environmental damage caused by the development of palm oil. A senator in
France recently proposed a tax of 300 per tonne on foods that use palm,
coconut and palm-kernel products, on top of the 100 per tonne tax. This has
been dubbed the "Nutella tax" due to the presence of palm oil in chocolates and
nut spreads. It has been met with protests from Malaysian, Indonesia and food
manufacturers. We understand that France's national assembly has rejected the
proposal.
Nevertheless, if the anti-palm oil campaign gains momentum, CPO demand
could be hurt, thereby widening its price discount to other edible oils.
3.7 Environmentalists and NGOs

Planters are expected to run their operations in a sustainable manner and
comply with environmental regulations. For instance, planters must be careful
not to threaten orang utans and their habitats in the course of land clearing. It
is not uncommon for non-governmental organisations to petition against
planters operations. These could result in legal recourse and disruptions to
their planting.
4. FINANCIALS
4.1 Biological assets
First Resources reports gains from changes in the fair value of its biological
assets typically in the fourth quarter of each year, in compliance with IFRS.
Such gains accounted for 15-39% of its reported net profits in FY09-12, but the
proportion has been steadily declining owing to a faster rate of profit growth.
As these gains are non-operational, we strip them out to derive our core net
profits. First Resources assumes an average value of US$6,709/nucleus ha in
deriving the value of its biological assets, which we find reasonable.

4.2 Higher FFB production to compensate for lower CPO

prices
First Resources net profit CAGR in the last three years was 42%, led by CPO
price inflation (+63% over the three years) and higher FFB production (12%
CAGR). We expect its profit CAGR to moderate to 10% in the next three years
as a result of lower CPO prices, partially buffered by higher FFB volumes.
Rotterdam CPO prices averaged US$998 in 2012. We expect prices to fall to
US$910 in 2013, US$950 in 2014 and US$980 in 2015. This will dampen First
Resources ASPs from US$882 in 2012 to a projected US$822 in 2013, US$815
in 2014 and US$838 in 2015. The groups 2013 ASP would have been lower had
it not locked in forward sales at favourable prices. Higher FFB production from
organic and acquisition growth should help it cope with lower CPO prices.

4.3 Margin compression in FY13

Margins are set to decline for both its plantations and refining operations.
Plantation margins should be affected by lower CPO prices and higher estate
costs, in keeping with a larger mature area and higher labour costs. We project
a decline in EBITDA margins from US$659/tonne in FY12 to US$587/tonne in
FY13, before improving to US$596/tonne in FY14, based on assumed lower
CPO prices and 6-7% p.a. increases in unit production costs.
Refining margins may decline from new capacity added from 2013. Indonesias
refining industry is bracing for an influx of new capacity in response to the
governments revamped palm-oil export tax structure which incentivises
domestic refining. First Resources believes that excess refining capacity could
suppress its refining margins below US$50/tonne in the long run.

4.4 Low gearing

Net gearing has been conservative at less than 20%. We do not foresee First
Resources taking on substantially higher debt since its capex should taper off
after 2013. Its strengthening cash position will lower its net gearing, in our

First Resources Ltd

estimation. We assume a decline in its net gearing from 11.5% in FY12 to 10.5%
in FY13 and 6.2% in FY14.

4.5 Strengthening cash flows

First Resources has guided for lower capex from FY14 onwards. It had spent
US$175m on biological assets and fixed assets in FY12. It expects to spend
US$200m in FY13 (US$40m for the construction of its new refinery), after
which capex should fall to US$160m in FY14.
Free cash flows should tick up in 2014, backed by improved operating cash
flows (assuming higher CPO prices and FFB volumes) allied with lower capex.

4.6 Superior earnings growth

First Resources stands out for its superior earnings-growth prospects in our
coverage universe. In the last three years, its earnings had grown by a 28%
CAGR vs. the industrys 14% average. We project 10.5% for the next three,
which implies further outperformance over the industrys anticipated 0.8%
earnings growth.
First Resources superior outlook can be attributed to: 1) its young estates and
FFB growth, providing buffers to lower CPO prices; 2) additional income
streams from its new refining capacity; and 3) operating metrics such as
above-average FFB and OER yields.

5. VALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION

5.1 Relative outperformer
First Resources stock had outperformed its peers in the last 12 months. The
regional sector had shed an average of 8% due to declines in CPO prices.
Singapore-listed planters had given up 6% on average, underperforming the

STIs 19% gain. First Resources has defied this with a 12% gain: in pole
position.

5.2 Strong FFB growth to back further outperformance

We are not bullish on CPO prices, but for investors seeking exposure to this
sector, we would advocate stocks with strong FFB growth prospects. First
Resources offers this. At 14.9% average FFB growth forecast for the next three
years, First Resources should offer the second-highest growth rate in the sector.
All else being equal, this implies its earnings should outperform the sectors, as
should its share price.

5.3 Cheap valuations, superior earnings

First Resources is the cheapest planter in Singapore and among the cheapest in
the region. It trades at 10.3x CY14 P/E vs. its local peers 12.6x and regional
peers 15.3x, on average. To us, its discounts are unjustified, in view of our
3-year EPS CAGR of 10.5% vs. the industrys 0.8%.
First Resources also trades at 1.9x P/BV, a 17% ROE vs. the sectors 1.5x and 9%
respectively. Its enterprise value per planted hectare (EV/ha) of US$19,160 is
below the industrys US$21,709 average.

5.4 Initiate coverage with Outperform

We initiate coverage with an Outperform rating and S$2.22 target price, based
on 12.3x CY14 P/E, 1 SD above its 4-year mean. Although this appears rich
relative to its historical trading band, we note that the stocks short listing
history skews its data. At our target, First Resources would be trading at a 19%
discount to its peers. Re-rating catalysts could stem from higher FFB
production and potential dividend uplifts when free cash flows increase from
FY14.
