Japan to sell US$12b of Japan Post Holdings, growth potential under scrutiny
Japan to sell US$12b of Japan Post Holdings, growth potential under scrutiny
Japan's government on Monday said it will sell US$12 billion worth of Japan Post Holdings Co Ltd stock in an announcement that fund managers gave a tepid reception, saying limited growth prospects is likely to dull demand from institutional investors.

11 Sep 2017 08:05PM (Updated: 11 Sep 2017 09:05PM)
TOKYO: Japan's government on Monday (Sep 11) said it will sell US$12 billion worth of Japan Post Holdings Co Ltd stock in an announcement that fund managers gave a tepid reception, saying limited growth prospects is likely to dull demand from institutional investors.
The sale will be the first since the 2015 initial public offering (IPO) of the postal firm and its two units, Japan Post Bank Co Ltd and Japan Post Insurance Co Ltd . That sale also raised US$12 billion, earmarked for reconstruction of areas devastated by an earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
"The company lacks growth potential appeal," said Kazuo Okabe, general manager at Fukoku Capital Management. "I don't think there will be strong demand from actively managed funds."
Japan Post, with 24,000 post offices and 400,000 employees, has spent the internet age minimizing the impact of a drop in letter delivery. It has also had to adjust to a competitive parcel delivery market that is booming thanks to e-commerce, but where the former monopoly is a distant third by market share.
M&A MISSTEPS
The national postal service prepared for its transition to private ownership with an attempt to demonstrate growth potential through acquisitions, aiming to become a global logistics firm akin to DHL operator Deutsche Post AG .

It bought Australian logistics firm Toll Holdings Ltd for AUS$6.5 billion (US$4.9 billion) but had to write down much of the acquisition. Talks to buy Nomura Real Estate Holdings Inc ended earlier this year after failing to agree terms.
"Japan Post cannot expect to realise strong growth on its own, it needs to pursue acquisitions. Management should not be timid about them even after the failure of the Toll deal," said a ruling-party lawmaker, who is influential over a firm still 80 per cent owned by the government. The lawmaker declined to be identified to speak candidly about the matter.
Japan Post's chief executive has said the firm can achieve growth through organic means alone.
OFFER SIZE
The latest sale, including extra shares to cover strong demand, would be equivalent to 22 per cent of Japan Post's outstanding stock, worth about 1.3 trillion yen (US$12.1 billion) based on Monday's closing share price of 1,321 yen. The IPO price was 1,400 yen.
The offer price will be set from Sep 25 to Sep 27.
Analysts said the pricing might be affected by the sheer size of the offering being difficult for the market to absorb. The offering is worth about 60 percent of total funds raised in Japan's equity market in 2016, Thomson Reuters data showed.
Japan Post also said on Monday it will separately buy back up to 100 billion yen worth of shares from the government.
DIVIDEND APPEAL
About 80 percent of IPO shares were offered domestically, of which 95 per cent were sold to retail investors.
Of particular appeal to retail investors is Japan Post's relatively high dividend yield, market participants said. The yield was 3.79 per cent at close of trade on Monday versus 1.8 percent for the benchmark average, Thomson Reuters data showed.
"Still, I think investors would rather choose Tokyo Electron Ltd , which has higher growth expectations," said Takato Tanikawa, fund manager at Bayview Asset Management, referring to a chip-making equipment maker whose yield is 3.2 percent.
"There are many other stocks with solid fundamentals and similar dividend yields," he said.
Goldman Sachs, Nomura Securities and Daiwa Securities are global coordinators for the offering.

Personal data of 5,400 AXA Singapore customers exposed in cyberattack
Personal data of 5,400 AXA Singapore customers exposed in cyberattack
07 Sep 2017 07:54PM (Updated: 07 Sep 2017 09:36PM)
SINGAPORE: The personal data of 5,400 AXA Insurance customers in Singapore was compromised in a cyberattack, according to an email the firm sent to affected customers.
In the email shared with Channel NewsAsia on Thursday (Sep 7), AXA data protection officer Eric Lelyon wrote that the stolen data included the email addresses, mobile numbers, insurance policy numbers and dates of birth of both past and present customers from its Our Health Portal.
No other personal data - such as the name, NRIC number, address, credit card, bank details, health status, claims history or marital status of customers - was stolen, he added.
Mr Lelyon wrote that "no further action" was required from affected customers as the information that was compromised was "not likely to, on its own, expose you to identity theft".
He warned customers, however, to be vigilant against phishing attempts for other personal details that could be linked to the cyber attack.
"In the unlikely event you feel that you may have inadvertently disclosed personal data as a result of a phishing attempt in the last few months, it is possible that this could be connected to this hacking incident, and if so, we urge you to file a police report. We also request that you reach out to us to let us know the details," Mr Lelyon wrote.
The French insurance company is taking the incident "very seriously" and has "taken all remedial actions to secure our Health Portal and to prevent a recurrence", he stated.
The firm has also filed a police report and is working closely with authorities, he added.
"We apologise to all our customers impacted by this incident. We wish to assure our customers that our Health Portal is now secure," said CEO of AXA Singapore, Jean Drouffe in a statement. "A thorough review of our IT systems is underway."
He added that most of the affected customers have been notified and that all remaining affected customers will be informed by Friday.
In response to Channel NewsAsia's queries, a spokesperson from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said the authority has asked AXA to "initiate a thorough review of its IT security and to remediate control gaps".
"We understand that AXA has taken steps to address the vulnerability in its Health Portal. MAS takes a serious view of this incident and is investigating the matter," the spokesperson added.
Last year, the personal data of 7,794 Aviva policyholders and their dependents was also breached when a printing firm hired by the insurance company sent out erroneous annual premium statements. The firm, Toh-Shi Printing Singapore, was fined S$25,000 by the Personal Data Protection Commission Singapore.
