FY14 revenue increased by 15.2% yoy due to tariff adjustments of 14.9% in Peninsular and 16.9% in Sabah effective 1 Jan 2014 (implementation of IBR ), as well as higher recognition of other revenues.
The adjusted FY14 EBITDA margin dropped slightly yoy due to higher priced LNG and gas fuel as well as discontinuation of government compensation post tariff hike.
Despite the lower coal price situation, TNB still suffered from cost under-recovery of ~RM600m due to higher utilization of gas and alternative fuels and high LNG price at RM47.2/mmBtu (vs. benchmark RM41.68/mmBtu). TNB is still in discussion with the government for the recovery, with suggested options include offsetting against the RM600m savings from IPPs capacity payments (PPA extenstion under Track 2 program).
Power generation from Tg Bin and Jimah has improved gradually in 2H14 (see figure #5). Both power plants are taking turn for scheduled maintenance shutdown from Oct 2014 to Jan 2015. Management guided for higher mix of coal power generation in FY15-16, due to improved availability of Tg Bin and Jimah as well as commencement of Tg Bin Extension and Manjung 4.
We are not overly concern on the delay of tariff adjustments under IBR implementation as current coal price below US$70/mt as well as improvement in coal power generation mix are working in TNB’s favour (lower fuel cost).
