Eversendai - 1H12 results within expectations
Period 1Q12/1H12
Actual vs. Expectations
The reported 1H12 net profit of RM57.7m came in within expectations, accounting for 46% and 45% of ours and the streets' estimates of RM125.4m and RM129.6m respectively.
Dividends No dividend was declared.
Key Results Highlights
YoY, the net profit fell by 10% to RM30.5m (from RM34.0m) due to a slower revenue recognition from Middle East, which was down by 20.5%. The slower recognition was predominantly due to the shorter operating months in 2Q and timing differences in recognising the revenue from its ongoing projects i.e. Cleveland Clinic, New Doha International Airport, etc. We expect the revenue recognition to pick up in the next quarter.
QoQ, the net profit improved by 12% from RM27.2m to RM30.5m backed by improved margins for its Middle East and India projects, which have risen by 2ppt to 16.8% and 3.4ppt to 11% respectively. Some of its key projects in India are EMCO Power Plant project in Warora and Worli Mixed-Use Development project in Mumbai.
Outlook Its current order book stands at RM1.7b, which are 41% driven by its structural steel based contracts segment, 34% from power plant and 25% from civil construction works. In terms of geographical breakdown, 49% of the order book is based in Middle East, 19% from India and 29% from Malaysia. Some of its ongoing projects in Malaysia include KLIA2, Tanjung Bin power plant, Manjung power plant and construction of the Tokuyama plant in Sarawak. All in, this will provide at least another 2 years of earnings visibility for the group.
