Cypark Resources (Cypark) reported a slight core net loss after minority interest and sukuk (LATAMIS) of RM2.3m in 1QFY24 from core profit after minority interest and sukuk (PATAMIS) of RM74.2m in 6QFY23, due to the absence one-off deferred tax asset reversal from the impairment of RM376.5m undertaken in the preceding quarter. The result is below ours and consensus full-year PATAMIS expectation of RM18.7m and RM23.8m. The variance is mainly caused by sub-optimal operations of the waste-to-energy (WTE) plant, though mitigated by various newly-secured projects that contributed higher margins for the quarter. In September 2023, Jakel Capital (Jakel) injected RM265m into the Group via a perpetual sukuk, which brings a total of RM332m capital injected since its onboarding as major shareholder. We believe this will provide ample reserves to complete the Large Solar Scale 3 (LSS3) Merchang facility, satisfy its debt obligations and finance potential new orderbook. Both LSS2 Danau Tok Uban (DTU) and LSS3 Merchang are targeted to complete by end 2023. Meanwhile, its WTE plant is expected to achieve optimal operation in November 2023. On this note, we revise our estimates for FY24F/25F higher by 8%/12% respectively. We maintain our Neutral recommendation though with higher sum-of-parts (SOP) based TP to RM0.90 (from RM0.63), which implies a 20x multiple to FY25F EPS.
