> Consumer Deutsche Bank Bovis Homes — Glynis Johnson, BUY, close 1185p, 1368p tgt, 15% upside • Management's targets for 2020 are credible (EBIT margins >18% and ROCE >25%) and provide scope for upside. We see scope for expansion from the following sources: - Land bank intake margin is 26.4%, above the gross margin target of 23.5% - Contingency costs assumed in the current land bank and all new land intake should edge lower. These have increased from 2.5% to 4% of build cost, but the CEO has guided that these should fall. - We have not included any benefits from new housetypes from 2018. This could help bring cost savings and economies of scale. - Admin costs are targeted to be below 5% of sales. They are at the top of the peer group at present and so this target implies substantial cost savings, but we believe volume improvements could help too. • >9% dividend yield from special cash return of £180m over three years. • Potential for higher dividends if Bovis constrains its land buying plans. Reducing land buying by half would increase cash available by £75m. The CEO is incentivised to pay out more than £180m in his LTIP. • Organic cash flow can support the dividend post 2020. The cash generation potential is impressive, with a 2018E FCF yield of 18.0%. • Stock is still cheap at 1.2x 2018E P/TNAV, despite 30% rise in last six months. is Catalysts: FY trading update on 12th January, FY results on 1st March.
