Sino-Ocean's H1/19 results remained below our expectations. The decline in revenue from property development appears contradictory to the prior year's strong contracted sales, though this may be explained by the large portion of JV projects. Profit from JVs accounted for 12% of pre-tax profit. Margins weakened, even as land and construction cost decreased. We see little room for a recovery in margins, since the contracted ASP has remained soft so far this year. Contracted sales are still robust, while attributable contracted sales have not been disclosed. It is difficult to predict Sino-Ocean's revenue recognition and cash collection, as revenue and cash are reflected on an attributable basis, while contracted sales are not. Sino-Ocean has been active in debt financing, issuing both onshore and offshore bonds. Aggregate borrowings maintained stable in H1/19, as the company redeemed existing Notes with the proceeds of new issues.
