Naim Holdings - 1H12 results broadly in line
Period 2Q12/1H12
Actual vs. Expectations
1H12 core net profit of RM41.5m was broadly within our and the street's estimates, making up 60% and 55% of our FY12E core net profit and the consensus respectively. Naim also recognised a RM2.8m-gain from the disposal of a 2% stake in DEHB. Its current shareholding in DEHB stands at 33.6%.
Dividends A single tier dividend of 3 sen has been declared as expected.
Key Results Highlights
YoY, the 1H12 core net profit increased significantly by 42% to RM44.5m (from RM31.4m) on the back of improvements in its property sales of RM97.3m (+71%) coupled with the improved operating margin in the construction division by 7.7ppt to 11.6% (from 3.9%). The higher margin in the construction division was mainly due to higher profits recognised for the completed projects in 2Q12. Naim has also recognised a RM2.8m-gain from the partial disposal (2%) of its stake in DEHB.
QoQ, the core net profit improved by 76%, predominantly due to better property sales in that segment, which improved by 31% coupled with an enhanced operating margin from 15% to 26%. Its associate, Dayang, has also significantly lifted up Naim's bottom line as the associate contribution increased by 24% contributing 37% of Naim's 2Q12 core net profit.
Outlook To date, Naim's outstanding order book currently stands at RM1.1b, which will provide earnings visibility for the next four years.
The next re-rating catalyst for Naim will be additional contracts secured within the remaining months of FY12. Thus far, Naim has managed to secure RM500m worth of new contracts in FY12.
